Episode 50 - Antonio Inoki vs. Big Van Vader (Tokyo, Japan - 4/1/1996)

This week we take a look back at one of the greatest pioneers in Japanese wrestling history, Antonio Inoki. His accomplishments both in and outside of the ring are too vast to cover in a single episode but this week’s intro talks about aspects of his career that some of you might not be aware of. Using the word “Legend” to describe Antonio Inoki might be an understatement. To demonstrate just how incredible he was this week’s match features a 52 year old Inoki vs. Big Van Vader in his prime and these two absolutely stole the show. If you have never seen an Antonio Inoki match, this is an excellent place to start.
