    Just saw the news. Inoki was a true legend. His vision for New Japan has been a major influence in wrestling today.

    Rest in peace, sir.



    In case the name sounds a little familiar and you don't follow wrestling, it might be because of this: Inoki fought Muhammad Ali in the famous "boxer vs. wrestler" mess of a match.

        I mentioned this to my roommate Sam, who is a wrestling fan but not very well informed about non-WWE or AEW stuff. He didn't know the name. I told him, "He basically made pro wrestling in Japan what it is today."
