• Old School Wrestling Legend Celebrates His Birthday
Old School Puroresu Legend Antonio Inoki (Real name: Kanji Inoki) celebrates his 76th birthday today.
During his career from 1972 till 1998, Inoki wrestled for several companies such as his own promotion New Japan Pro-Wrestling, the World Wrestling Federation, and even Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling.
The NJPW founder & former NJPW promoter was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2010 by fellow old school wrestling legend Stan Hansen.
After he sold the New Japan promotion in 2005, it slowly ended up losing all its glory and turned into pretty much just another (in this case international) random, generic indy promotion, totally different from the great traditional company that it used to be.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANTONIO INOKI!
