I am quite interested in the Inokiism era of New Japan, and not because I like puro or the promotion, afaik it was a massive low point, but rather because I'm a huge mark for Pride FC and the wonder world of Japanese MMA.
So, as I understand it, the basic rundown is that Inoki being a shooter himself, got obsessed with Mixed Martial Arts when it started drawing big, and restructured New Japan to have fighters come in and squash his guys?
Yuji Nagata's MMA record makes me giggle every time. What the fuck was Inoki thinking? He was like a top guy or champ right I heard it permanently affected his career because Inoki thought he let them down.
