Never seen any and that is too interesting a combo to pass up. There is a match vs RVD and Sabu from 98 I enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 EDIT: From the Discussion board "And I watched DREAM too which had Inoki show up on a crucifix one late, drunken New Year's haha" Afterwards he had a stick fight with I think Tiger Jeet Singh or his son. It was really weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Reading Nakamura's book (everybody get it, it's so damn good!) and he talks about his sparring sessions with Inoki while he was in California. Inoki is one wacky motherfucker be it sparring or...whatever the fuck that is going on in that picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 This is from the site that I stole the photo from: Quote I mean, that’s really all you can say to this photo, right? Unfortunately, this isn’t a Tumblr so I kind of have to find another 300 words or so in order to justify making this a complete post. It never really occurred to me until today that, because he’s Japanese, “Antonio” quite clearly isn’t Inoki’s first name. It’s actually “Kanji”, the “Antonio” is a tribute to dead 60s wrestler Antonino Rocca. No short-form piece on Inoki is really complete without mentioning the story of how, back in the 1990s, he purchased a deserted island in the middle of nowhere from the Cuban government under the belief that hidden treasure was buried on it. He promptly renamed the place “Inoki Friendship Island” and, to the best of my knowledge, he has yet to find Castro’s doubloon stash on the land mass. This picture, for reference’s sake, comes from one of the traditional New Year’s Eve MMA cards from Japan, Dream Genki Desu Ka. Again, to reiterate, this was an evening of MMA. After a worked match between Josh Barnett and Hideki Suzuki, Inoki was carried from the entrance ramp to the ring tied to a cross. Upon reaching the ring, he was let down from the cross and picked up a bucket of paint. Inoki begins to paint some Japanese symbol in the ring while cutting a promo simultaneously, possibly to mark another one of his retirements. This is interrupted by a run-in committee of guys in turbans who start beating Inoki down with kendo sticks, apologise, raise his hand in victory and then give him a kendo stick before leaving the ring peacefully. There really isn’t any need to try and make any logic out of any point of that. Yeah, imagine staying up late on New Year's and seeing that on HDNet (now AXSTV) at 5 in the morning. At that point I wasn't sure that the booze hadn't made me start hallucinating. BTW, that Barnett/Suzuki match is badass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 That hypocritical bastard didn't say anything when Vince had Austin hung on a "symbol". I watched the Rise and Fall of ECW doc yesterday because I hadn't seen it in awhile and boy did the crucifixion not get over. Everyone is dead silent in that footage. Luckily the Forever Hardcore doc got Raven and Hak's POVs about it because we got gems like Raven being ribbed by the boys to make a Star of David instead because Paul and Raven are both Jewish, with Raven responding that was stupid because Hak would just roll away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSJ Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 But have they rolled him around the building? Also, I have trouble with the idea of anyone in CZW understanding the concept of a wheel. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This FBI were a great team. Maybe the best in ECW history. They were great at comedy schtick but could also turn into killers on a dime and it worked. The FBI is a really underrated faction with no real bad incarnation. Even the WWE version was really good. My least favorites would be the JT Smith and Big Vito versions. But even those were decent. The JT Smith version was funny, but it never translated to work or getting heat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
