>Inoki reign>transitional (to Inoki)>someone Inoki liked personallythe third one wasn't always bad, but a lot of shitty champs like Sapp or Yasuda came from that mindset. I wasn't watching from 2005-2009, but that era seems unremarkable. Tanahashi to Okada to AJ kicked off the really memorable era that lasted until 2019 or 2020, depending on who you ask.
