Just Dave Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I can think of 2-3 AEW guys off the top of my head I wouldn’t mind seeing tuned up by a legit fighter. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Re: Inoki, I know he did fine in the 80s set, but I think he has a better rep in 2023 after various GWE and GME projects than he did in 2003 when Tony was an active poster. Even then, when he was talking about it in the presser, it was more of the idea of Inoki or the myth of Inoki (or even what Inoki means to the current New Japan regime?) that he seemed to be vibing off of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote something about it being in its own thread, forgetting stinkbutt3000 was banned. Pretty cool seeing this hasn’t lead to any forum fights or anything annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Conn Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I have yet to get Collision tickets but now that WrestleDream has been announced I think I’m going to that show. I don’t think I can do both shows and the Inoki Show is the one I wanna go to. I don’t wanna get my hopes up but I really hope we get some kind of wrestler vs martial artist match. I found footage from The Associated Presses YouTube channel of all places of Inoki vs Leon Spinks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if he wants to do something comparable to the Myth of Inoki then he has Okada to work with: Irrationally beloved wrestler who is a hell of a worker but can bore the shit out of you. If we are doing Different Style Fights I want Bas Rutten on commentary, too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Also, I don't think he needs to go anywhere near what Inoki means to the current regime, which is probably not particularly positive, all things considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I have no idea what an AEW tribute to Inoki would be but it better include 2 things: 1. Someone standing in the middle of the ring and slapping about 50 marks in the face in a line. I am sure Punk will get in the ring in Seattle now and wait if that happen 2. This guy as a competitor 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Tony should kill two birds with one stone: as a tribute to Inoki, every episode of Collision will now be filmed in North Korea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) Don't forget throwing a chair, too Who's the oldest guy on the roster we can get for that? Arn? Dig up Tully again? Jake? EDIT: Actually, the funniest thing would be Tony sitting in the front row with the red towel/sash/whatever. Have him come out as Jesus like Inoki at that New Year's DREAM show, too!
