Since today is Wrestlemania, I propose we discuss the influences of pro wrestling in anime & manga in general and how both mediums go hand to hand with one another

From the German Suplex and Kinniku buster being widely spread and used in various shows, to things like Keiichi Yamada taking inspiration from Hokuto no Ken to invent the Shooting Star Press or NJPW bringing Tiger Mask and Jushin Thunder Liger from 2D to the squared circle

Wrestling inspired Kinnikuman, Kinnikuman invented all of Shounens plot devices which Dragonball stole and made popular. Therefore, wrestling saved anime.

And it's even funnier considering how DB and by extension other shonen aped up Kinnikuman, particularly the power levels and friendship power (which is literally an actual power, by name) with none of the charm or even writing to back it up. For example in Kinnikuman's current run (since 2011) the main character has only had two matches and the final match in the first arc didn't even involve him; it was Akuma Shogun VS The Man/Choujin Enma and, while the story tangentially involves him, it's given a good deal of side characters the chance to shine, even the more uncommon ones.

Compare to DBS where they tease with things like Boo training and getting fit only to not use him because he fell asleep, and Roshi and 17 being in the team only to have Goku Blanco overpower everything in the end. The worst thing is, aside from the new color and a new breach in power levels DBS doesn't do anything interesting with those new powers. No new techniques, no distinct fighting styles, not even retradings to old moves aside from the Super Cyan Kaioh-Ken or whatever.

If only this show held the same level of quality as the final few episodes.

I wouldn't mind seeing ZSJ stretched by Punie-chan.
