>>17196193the ali fight was by all accounts supposed to be a worked fake fight, they even had him do wrestling matches with jobbers beforehand
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkoUgdl9sSAthe idea was that the inoki match would be close to this, but then they got to japan and inoki tried changing things, ali said he would pull out obviously, and so inoki said fine we'll do the worked fight and then started shooting on him and laying down lol
basically he's a fake tough guy bitch is what im saying
