My father and I both love Inoki. Now that I think about it, Inoki should have brought that Strong Style with him (when he left NJPW).
It is without a doubt that the image of “NJPW as strongest” helped gain popularity for the company. And even after the Strong Style has lost its magical power, people were clinging on to it.
That’s why I appealed, “We can’t go on like this.”
And in that same interview, Inoki also stated
“When are you going to stop scrambling for a pie that I made so long ago!?”
So I promptly answered,
“I’m going to bring a new pie on the table!”
Inoki grinned and replied,
“I like that. Let your seniors retire already!”

Inoki-ism is the core of strong style. One shouldn't look at it as a universal style. Gotchism is the limbwork and catch.
That said Inoki was a pro wrestler with some legit submission holds and few legit moves. The rest of his moveset was pro wrestling not shoot, slams, strikes etc.
>>3132642
Maybe it was just because of how feud with Shibata at the time, but Tanahashi was being a real cunt about Inoki, Nakamura, and Strong Style in general before that.

right, embarrassing. Christianity and religion in general is delusion. There is nothing 'based' about it. Contrarian 4chan faggots need to kill themselves. See your lovely jesus quicker fuck boys.
BMAJ is the only true Christian left in the Fed, the little pupper is just trying to get over.
*single handedly does absolutely nothing to the business at all including drawing dimes or taking away dimes*
>>3132607
i like to watch him wrestle though
>>3132607
Single-handely hasn't wrestled in 3 and a half years, yet still works you. Kek
He's the definition of rent free
imagine the smell
>>3132569
Probably like dust
You know a foot needs socks or shoes to sweat and smell right?
Post her qt smile
I'd rather imagine the taste
Too much Inoki spam, post Giant Baba.
>>3132533
WHO?
Giant Baba was better for business and that's a goddamn fact.
>>3132533
Most of the industry is either based on Baba or Mutoh it Tanahashi or Misawa's pro wrestling.
Inokism needs to return under a better pre 00s mode.

EXTREMELY fake news.
Someone archive that shit

Kevin Nash appears before you and tells you to hit the weights, take a shower, and get a clue.
What do?
Thank him for his advice before hitting the weights, taking a shower, and getting a clue.
>>3132404
Kick him in the dick

Would you be honored?
INDEED.

>slaps me to awaken my inner fighting spirit
Yes!
So they're building to Roode vs Ziggler at Hell in a Cell right?
That's okay, but considering how much time they have and how pointless their match is...Rusev or Orton would have been better right? He doesn't need a starter boss like Nakamura did.
>>3132340

I mean it doesn't SOUND like WWE

People more legit than Inoki
I'll start

The bartender. Not Andre
is there a better champ in the world today?
I always meant to get into BJW but I really dislike the deathmatches. I do love their hoss matches though.
>>3132207
Who is the better of the 2 Suzukis?
>>3132207
Overrated you mean, he's boring as shit. Okabayashi would be a better champ.
Will Chrstian headline his Hall of Fame class?
>>3132135
Vince hates his ugly face. He'll never be in his hall of fame
>>3132135
Not in a quadrillion years.
Ahahahahah
