Inoki was a maverick, the kind of guy that blazed his own trail. You think he liked fucking sycophants who just blindly worshiped him? You think Inoki is that kind of spineless egoist? I don't, personally.
When Inoki left NJPW to form the IGF and ran off with the belt, he was trying to destroy his old company but he failed. And Tanahashi is the reason why he failed.
Tanahashi being a gigachad and taking down Inoki's portrait was exactly the kind of move that Inoki himself would've done in Tanahashi's place.
You don't understand Inoki and you don't understand the alpha mentality of a powerful grown ass man. You're a slack-jawed follower, not a leader like Inoki or Tanahashi. That's why you'll never do anything in your life but deriding the accomplishments of your betters.
