It's such a funny sport. It's like serious slavs vs germans mostly and then you look in the audience and there's RZA rubbing his chin

I mean:

> The concept of chessboxing was first coined in the 1979 kung fu film Mystery of Chessboxing made by Joseph Kuo. In homage to the film, the Wu-Tang Clan brought chessboxing into popular consciousness for the first time in 1993, when they released the song "Da Mystery of Chessboxin'".

Though apparently the song itself is just entirely regular rap bragging, with nothing at all about chess, boxing, or the movie.

Weird. I highlight RZA, tap "web search" and he's the first result. Less work than taking the time to tap out "who is RZA?"
