Many people think that performing the moves and combos in the Street Fighter series is not possible in real life. Not sure why. Think about like this: Have you ever seen someone conjure up a fireball with their hands? Probably not. But does that prove it's not possible? Of course not! Our theory: Street Fighter moves are totally real. And we have proof.
Turns out a Japanese wrestler recently performed the Street Fighter 4 ultra combo for Russian bear-fighter Zangief in a match. Sounds painful, eh? It'll blow your mind. Or pop it, actually:
See, you really can't get more real than that. Though, they better check the body of the unfortunate victim -- looks a little limp.
...and boom goes the dynamite. Did they speed this up to make it look cooler, or slow it down so us mortals could tell what's going on?

Oh, the good ol' days where I would practice every WWF move on my younger brothers! This guy uses a stuffed doll, not as cool, but I am still impressed by his full-turn pile driver at the end!
I miss Andre the Giant!

@Travis Oh, please, don't use "boom goes the dynamite." You do know the horrible origins of that phrase, right?

I do- the use was intentional. Shall I switch to a Dick Vitale 'Yeah baby'?

I tried to embed it. No dice. Click it like it's hot.
What's wrong with saying Boom Goes the Dynamite? Dynamite does go Boom!

A sportscaster from Ball State used it on a college newscast. He used it to describe a shot in basketball. It was horrible, and it became an Internet sensation.

@Jason - Okay, in that context it sounds pretty dumb...

... you'd be surprised at the shit that could happen in real life you take for fantasy. I used to think extreme acts porno chick bitches did in their "films" stayed only in the realm of p-fantasy, but one day I met this chick who had to have been the biggest whore on the planet because the things she did to me were unbelievable and can not be explained here. Let me just say my mind was blown. Really surprising.

@ Jason - Wait wait, what's the origins?
@ Lance - Me too! I always watch The Princess Bride when I get nostalgic for him.
That video was great, Donahoe!

@ Jason - Okay, I've seen that. But for a brief second I thought maybe you were the sportscaster.

@Cosmo No, I learned early that TV wasn't my thing. I have a face for radio and a voice for print.
