For anyone watching this show who wants to see the real-life matches it's based on, I'll post links in this thread and explain a bit of the history. There's a mix of truth and fiction here, though sometimes the real story is even wilder than the fiction!
I'll also go through how ppl were depicted and note if it's true, false, or a bit of both.
EPISODE 1:
Kaoru Matsumoto's father was a cheating alcoholic who abused his wife and she hated him?
TRUE: In Kaoru's own words, she became a wrestler because "I wanted to kill my father."
