Based Hulkster, the first ever IWGP Heavyweight champion basically created Japanese wrestling as we know it.

Nah, different lineage. A couple years after this Inoki got shoot butthurt about not holding the founding lineage so he basically rebooted it to establish himself.

Because at that point it had already been absorbed into Hulk's WWF title. Roman Reigns is the actual NJPW champion, that is funny

Inoki was the one who booked Hogan to go over him in that ridiculous fashion without telling anyone. Inoki said in an interview that the decision to not count Hogan as the first IWGP champ was forced by Asahi TV who didn't want to show a non-Japanese champion in their weekly tv show World Pro Wrestling, and as his backers and sponsors, he had to comply.
