Fun fact. "Giant" Baba was 5'6 which doesn't sound tall in today's world but at the time he was the tallest Japanese athlete on record.

and happened to be a full foot and a half taller than the average guy in his territory

had massive hands and massive feet, made his chops and his big stomp signatures. I dunno, I think Baba was pretty cool and he could really go when he was younger.

So far all of the pw wrestler of the day have been complete nobodies. I've never heard of them and they're not even in the WWE hall of fame. And the op doesn't even bother putting up a brief description of them.

You don’t know your wrestling history and it’s somehow OP’s fault? Maybe if they put Baba in the WWE HOF like Muta and Liger, you’ll know him and suddenly like him.

And now I'll never know since no info is included the op and theres no reason to look them up. I also watch basketball and football and i don't know every single midcarder and jobber ever especially those over seas.

To give credit that isn't saying much. Inoki was the whole package. Baba wasn't as good as Inoki but he was still great in his own right.
