>Anyway me an Inoki had just landed in Tokyo after we wrestled a match that ended the Korean War.
>We're waiting for our car to take us to Ribera because I tell you brother our stomachs are grumbling - they ain't got no food over there in Korea so we haven't eaten in three weeks.
>Anyway as we're standing there outside the airport this little cat comes over and Inoki's a huge cat mark so he gets excited and he's ready to stroke that thing, brother.
>But this cat walks straight past him, doesn't even glance at him, and comes straight up to the Hulkster.
>I used to speak fluent Chinese back then but we'd been in Korea and we're exhausted so I bend down and I say, in English, 'Hello Kitty.'
>And the moment I said that, I just saw Inoki's eyes light up brother.
>Next thing you know he's made a few billion yen with this whole 'Hello Kitty' thing and you know what? I can't hold that against him after all he did for me over there in Thailand, because without that learning experience I got from wrestling week in, week out, every damn day in Macau, I can tell you brother there wouldn't be the Hulk Hogan you see here today.
