A few years later in the 70s, Inoki who’s a businessman through and through kept proposing to Bab a wrestling super show, but unlike Inoki, he took things emotionally, or perhaps his views in business were to separate the two biggest wrestling feds, so he kept refusing. But that came to an end in 79 when All Star Dream Card was announced. NJPW, AJPW and IWE wrestlers tagged together and wrestled each other. I don’t know if he still hated Inoki after that but in the 90s, Inoki said he met him during his last days before he was admitted to the hospital and he told him that he can do whatever he wants, perhaps as in to end their rivalry or something. If you look at their photos together from the 90s you’d see they have softer expressions on their faces unlike when they were tagging together or forced to work together after they established their feds in the 70s.
