DAILY REMINDER that Antonio Inoki never had a shoot fight in his entire career

nor even a worked shoot really, making him more of a FAKE TOUGH GUY than legendary fake tough guy Minoru Suzuki

He faced Mohammed Ali in the first ever MMA fight.

That was an exhibition, a charity exhibition at that, in which Antonio Inoki tried to make it a real fight and Ali would just leave the ring after taking a few kicks and rightfully so

Similar to his """"shoot"""" with The Great Antonio, Inoki could only ambush people expecting worked contests.
He never had a single scheduled shoot fight in which his opponent was going to come out trying to serious knock him out, not a single one, and you can cope and seethe and froth and bubble as much as you like but it's true.

Inoki is a FRAUD

Inoki crippled Ali, nearly killed Great Antonio and broke Pahalwan’s arm in his hometown surrounded by Pahalwan’s family and his bloodthirsty Pakistani countrymen. Sounds pretty shoot tough to me, yeah.

Not a single one of those incidents was a professional fight, not even on the level of Pancrase which at lease had some level of sanctioning despite being a work, and most of them weren't "fights" at all. The inclusion of the Ali one is absolutely laughable as any combat sports historian will tell you, the other one is Inoki beating up some fat retard in a worked pro wrestling match, and the last was a pro wrestling match in a dirt poor country that was a total work.

I'm sorry but THE LONELY WARRIOR and his fake MMA fights remain more legit than Inoki and it's not even close

Ali got his ass kicked. His legs were never the same. And Great Antonio was a fat piece of shit that thought he was a tough guy. He's the one that tried to shoot on Inoki first, and Inoki kicked his ass. Inoki is one of the GOATs. Deal with it.

Apparently, the Inoki vs Inoki match went on for days, so the Japanese Prime Minister of that time was forced to dispatch the JSDF to stop it so it ended as a draw.

relaly hate to be the "erm actually" guy but the 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=lkoUgdl9sSA
the idea was that the inoki match would be close to this, but then they got to japan and he wanted to instead have a real fight leading to the outcome we have today

Finally, someone with sense enters the thread.

/aspw/ needs to make up its mind: do we like fake tough guys or not?

because Inoki is ultimately a fake tough guy
you can't have it both ways.

This is perfectly acceptable as long as it's understood that he's a fake tough guy

I'm not into submission style but the thrill of seeing submissions that actually WOULD end matches is better than finisher spams

I agree. Technical wrestler vs technical wrestler normally would be boring, but Inoki and Brisco knew what were doing. There sense of urgency, but once the first fall was scored, it went pretty fast. The match type best two out of three falls helped, too.
