Originally posted by soul_survivor View PostInoki should be ashamed. The ifght was set up as an exhibition, where Ali would do a lil bit of his boxing, INoki could do a lil bit of his play fighting and it would go to the cards. Instead, Inoki, as unprofessional as always, went out trying to severely injure a man who had come over to make a quick buck and have a laugh.
Inoki pulled this stunt at various points in his "wrestling" career.

Originally posted by Banko Villas View PostI wouldn't say Spinks tarnished his legacy. A prime Ali would always have defeated Spinks and all fans know that. Even if Ali was shot, though, one gotta respect Spinks for what he did.

Originally posted by soul_survivor View PostYeah, within the wrestling industry that. Basically, when he had an opponent he didn't like or someone who refused to play ball, he could be very unrpofessional and start striking the individual for real. Remember ,Japanese wrestling, just like the wwe stuff is supposed to be play fighting, not an actual combat sport.
remind me of this from a couple years ago
