RIP
>>16620988WE MISS YOU INOKIWE LOVE YOU GOAT
>>16620988>It's nearly 3 years since Inoki's passing
>>16620988>Inoki dies>Muto retires>Puro goes to shit right after'fraid so
>>16620988Antonio Inoki might have died, but Tony Khanoki is carrying his legacy.
>>16620988I wonder what Inoki booked for WrestleDream this year.
>>16620988I didn't miss Inoki's death but I did shoot miss Bray Wyatt's death. Didn't learn about it until like 3 months later because the only wrestling news I heard about was CM Phil throwing a Phillyfit about AEW.
>>16620988RIP GOAT
>>16621009This whole thread was set up for this punchline, and I love it
>>16621009you think tony ever thinks about this moment before he falls asleep
>>16620988Early reports say he's awake and in good spirits and will be undertaking light duties while he recovers Get well soon
>>16621009Wasn't there another Tony botch at the last one as well?
>>16621019Kek
>>16620988MODS STICKY
>>16621018>"Tony-chan...">"Yes, Mr. Inoki?">"My final WrestleDream"...>"You hire Slop Dollar and debut him in my PPV as a monster heel"
>>16620988>Inoki died in 2022Does time seems to be running fast to anyone else? Since COVID, everything seems to be moving fast.
>>16621081time has been accelerating since kobe died
>>16621082Based of Akie Abe to show President Trump Inoki vs Inoki.
>>16621076This will be the main event for WrestleDream 2025. Thank you, Mr. Inoki.
>>16621082
>>16620988Literal shitter who
>>16620988You now remember Meltzer wrote and released a 42 page obituary to honor Inoki's life THE DAY he died.
>>16621137how did he know
>>16621137Yeah. And apparently the Inoki essay would have been over twice as big if he had more time.
>>16620988ripheard his last wish was ZSJ leaving WK as New Japan champion and Orange Cassidy as AEW World Champion
You have parachuted into a stadium while 90,000 people chant your name haven't you anon.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7R9MTZXfd8
>>16621144He'd probably been working on an Inoki biography for a while
>>16621160MMA events at the end of the year in Japan used to be like the Olympics back in the 2000s. It's sad to see the current state of it, RIZIN was a disappointment again this year. Inoki must be ashamed.
>>16620995dimesola
>>16620995How and why did Inoki book him?
>>16621137>>16621144Inoki, Vince (He said he had way more to write about him even though he wrote a bunch for his retirement), Flair, Funk, shit, Ole, are probably some of the ones he started writing decades ago.
>>16621009Kek. Tony really is a bitch even Inoki in his grave rolls over
>>16620988RIPI shoot watch Inoki vs Great Antonio multiple times every year. The most unintentionally funny match I've ever seen.https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x19xyfr
>>16621195was taken during a WWE house show tour
>>16621195He lied to Inoki and told him he's Tiger Jeet Singh's son.
>>16621144Meltzer assassinated Inoki so Tony could use his name to pop a rating.
>>16621082wtf is this real?
>>16621038Uh oh, Tonysissies. Inoki is coming for revenge.
>>16621299'fraid so
>>16621009The Inoki Curse is a shoot, brother.
>>16621009>How to curse your company in a few seconds
>>16621009Bump (the picture over, incurring the wrath of the land of wind and ghosts)
>>16621111AEW could do way worse than having Baron Corbin as their monster unbeatable champion. He has the 'combat sports' pedigree you'd think the dirtsheet marks that give the orders would be salivating at the thought of him. They don't even know how much he could help turn their fortunes around.
>>16621256Great Retartonio had it coming.
>>16621370You're mistaken. Top Dollar would be the monster heel in AEW.
>>16621383Inoki is such a fake tough guy mark who doesn't know to do business properly. No wonder Hulkster literally killed him in the ring, with doctors having to revive him and bring him back from the land of wind and ghosts.
>>16621393I am being 100% serious right now. If they actually looked at his pedigree, his size, and his ability to make diamonds out of coal, they would be offering him a big contract today.
>>16620988Where can I buy a Inoki scarf?

>>16621009they don't even mention inoki at WD after this debacle
>>16621434Sorry, but only Inoki-approved people have the honor to wear an Inoki scarf.
>>16621463They did. He tried to do an Inoki chant last year and none of the fans sold it, it was embarrassing. Even more than the portrait incident. And again, he did it in front of Inoki's family.
>>16621456>>7. New Jack: 901>>8. Terry Funk: 640>>9. Iron Sheik: 548>>10. Bruno Sammartino: 406No thousy?
>>16621456sid got robbed because janny is a BITCH
>>16621456>Terry Funk: 640KWAB
>>16621456Two dimeless shitters being at the top speaks a lot about this gay board.
>>16621034Tony doesn't sleep he just does another line and dunks his Weiner in peanut butter and let's his dogs go to work whenever he gets drowsy
>>16620988Why so many female wrestlers have manly Inoki chins and jaws but not a single male wrestler have them?
>>16621611They put hormones in the food
>>16620988Inoki's sticky was legendary. People from other boards were visiting the board for the first time to pay their respect.
>>16620993Inoki has been gone longer than he was alive. Time is crazy.
>>16621009Inoki is burning in hell with hundreds of thousands of sengoku era samurai because of tiny con
>>16621456>1. Hana Kimura: 3383Wow. /pw/ really is a Joshi board. Holy Grimalona
>>16622684That's because the janny had it on sticky for 2 weeks, same with Rocky Johnson.
>>16621009>>16621484Both of these events are possibly in the top 5 hilarious moments in the entirety of pro-wrestling
>>16621484More embarassing with sound
>>16620988Literally WHO-noko
>>16621456Terreddit Fuck only getting 640 posts will never fail to make me lmfao
>>16621076Inoki is a genius booker even in death
>>16620988>first Japanese athlete to gain international acclaim a decade after WW2>"lol I'm actually Korean"Based
>>16621009KWABOTY
>>16623442We don't talk about Vince here.
>>16623450Yeah Russo is a goof.
>>16623458We don't talk about Russo here.
>>16620988Tony had him poisoned
>>16620988But how? Even the people who never heard of Inoki before know about Inoki's death.
>>16623877I was in a coma for 20 years. I also just learned that Benoit died.
>>16621456reminder that the mods stickied a Scott Hall death thread three days before he actually died
>>16623887Benoit is still alive.
>>16622684The board also had a lot of activity around the time she died, Vince dying would probably not hit the top three
>>16624109Maybe on a planet where Benoit was anything but a wrestler
>>16621006This but Sareeee, who actually met Inoki and not using her daddy’s money to make Inoki’s family his friends
>>16624364Planet Benoit is just massive mining operation where workers hack the stones with their own heads
>>16620988
>>16620988Who? Is this that guy at Benihana that did the onion volcano thing?
