Pete Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 20 hours ago, The Natural said: I'm honestly impressed at how they put that together on the fly with zero notice. Speaks volumes for their professionalism as well as their writers. They've always had a weird relationship with the Inoki title win... its legitimacy basically depending on Vince's mood at the time. I assume it's back on for good now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Do you think they have obit videos in the can, like newspapers, for people like Inoki, Graham, and the like? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to post the same thing, I’ll bet they have at least a framework and a highlights package ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would assume so. I think even Meltzer has mentioned in the past of doing rough drafts of obituaries of the biggest names while those people are still alive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone is clearly in the homestretch they typically have stories ready so all they need to do is plug in the circumstances of the subject's passing (date, place, cause etc). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I'd think that the WWE Hall of Fame induction videos are a pretty good framework for their obituary videos. Meanwhile, gotta thank the people who decided to use numbers for dates so that I can figure out which free NJPWworld matches are which without knowing any Japanese. https://front.njpwworld.com/search/tag/man_1_en 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohtani's jacket Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Inoki had been sick for a while, but it was a shock when they brought him out on TV recently in a wheelchair. People have been overlooking what a carny he was, and the batshit insane things he did, but it was a life well lived. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coletti Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) We can't invoke The Great Antonio without Bill Burr describing it - although the main clip on YouTube is over a Fire Pro recreation https://youtu.be/h0QEizjh-4k Edited October 2, 2022 by christopher.annino 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 The Great Antonio being in Croatia during World War 2 makes me think a certain amount of the eccentric stories about him might be sorta connected to the mental impact of being in one of the war crime-iest parts of the world as a teen (not to diminish any non-Ustase areas during WW2). Yeah I know not everybody who was around that ended up thinking that fucking around with Antonio Inoki was a good idea but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 He needed to have a mother who would sneak up and down a mountain for food to ground him, like Bruno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
