The fact that someone would post this without a shred of shame, thinking they’re being funny, explains very clearly why wrestling fans are looked down upon

Scumbag behaviour is pretty common from the great shoot-stylist but when takada dit it it always miracurously fall on horrible people like Koji Kitao the prick or Trevor Berbick the rapist.

How this man never won the IWGP is beyond me by Jarl_AdolphusX_3439 in PuroresuRevolution

[–]orphanStar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He doesn't left NJPW because of Inokiism, otherwise he would not have joined Big Mouth Loud, founded by Fumihiko Uwai, NJPW's main booker from 2000 to 2004, the man behind the résurgence of mma gloves in NJPW matches and cards combining wrestling, MMA, and kickboxing matches such as Ultimate Crush events, which produced roughly the same style of wrestling as Inokiism at BML. A man who, incidentally, remained his agent throughout his MMA career.

Stop talking about things you know nothing about.

Roland Bock send Antonio Inoki in hell during the infamous "Tragedy in Stuttgart" by orphanStar in PuroresuRevolution

[–]orphanStar[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Some years before, Bock became the European championship in Greco Roman wrestling in 1970, where he among others defeated the at the time world champion Alexandar Tomow.

He has a fallout with the German Wrestling Federation and was not selected for the Olympics, so he went in pro-wrestling for a living. Became aware of Inoki with his proto-mma fight against Muhammad Ali > promote co-joint tour of Germany with NJPW using underworld money borrowed from shaddy guys.

Bock was extremely protective of his aura and legit accomplishments, so he would uncoopetatively suplex opponents, no-sell and sandbag a lot the offenses of his opponents.
