>>9657900nta but AEW could find a way to make Inoki look lame if they had him in his prime; you can't judge a wrestler based on his performance with Trent and a clusterfuck 4 way. His match with Okada at Dominion last year or his trilogy with Ibushi give a much better indication of his skills. In terms of in-ring psychology and telling a story I don't think there are many better than him right now.
A few backstage segments/character work:
