>held down top talent like Choshu, Fujinami, Chono, Hashimoto etc. just so he could keep putting himself over
>fans grew so tired of his self aggrandizing booking that they started a riot in Sumo Hall and got NJPW banned for 2 years
>wasted tons of money on his side projects, almost all of which were total flops
>embezzled money from NJPW to fund said failures

>essentially forced stars like Muto and Kojima out of NJPW because of his boneheaded vale tudo agenda
>did irrepairable damage to Yuji Nagata's career, feeding him to Cro Cop and Fedor like a lamb to slaughter
Wrestler of All Time?
You bet your ass he is.
Reminder that Tanahashi not only singlehandedly saved NJPW from bankruptcy but made it into the phenomenon it is today. GO ACE!
I wish NJPWworld would add some more stuff from 2007-2011. There's barely anything from that era outside of the Tokyo Dome shows.
Trust me, it's better left buried
I don't think they own the rights to a lot of stuff from that era. It's not hard to find, there are tape traders out there.
There's no point watching that period when Tanahashi's reign of terror was busy driving interest to all time low
Hi Muhammad!
So dumb he became muslim when he's Japanese lmao
he would be way cooler if he wasn't muslim
seething whiteskin LMAO
Never seen a fanbase who hates and is ashamed of their favorite promotion's history more than Nu Japanlets LMAO
Hey he had a lot of dumb shitty ideas in the 2000s but that doesn't mean you shit on the guy.
Goat
Just because he went retarded in the 2000s doesn't mean he wasn't great beforehand
>slapping a woman across the face
>not KOing her
kek what a bitch
At least he wasn't a closet faggot who flew to Hong Kong to fuck little chinese boys like Baba.
He's not trying to hurt her, ya simp. He's giving her some fighting spirit.
I can debate every falsified point made here but i won't waste time on a simp like you
>>fans grew so tired of his self aggrandizing booking that they started a riot in Sumo Hall and got NJPW banned for 2 years
Out of the lies you made this one is possibly the most obvious. They started a riot in the Sumo Hall because Inoki actually LOST to the new monster gaijin Vader. They werent tired of Inoki winning, they actually really fucking wanted it.
This is revisionist history. The crowd was angry all night, heckling and throwing stuff into the ring, and the fuckery with Inoki/Vader was the breaking point.
Why so angry?
God I miss this era of Yea Forums
