Talk:Antonio Inoki

message: This article needs some clean-up:
* The "Wrestling Career" section is highly unstructured.  It should either be chronological, or broken up into sections, e.g., JWA, Tokyo Pro, NJPW wrestler, NJPW lead booker.
* The last paragraph which accuses him of lying should be re-written to maintain NPOV
* No citations at all in the article
* The trivia section is way too long, and a lot of it is political trivia.  Why not just make a "Political career" section? Patiwat 10:21, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Article needs clean-up

message: I noticed the suggestion that the last paragraph mentioning his claims was not NPOV, anybody have any ideas how to change this? It's quite well known by anybody who follows the business of Puroresu that Inoki says a lot of wild things that don't come true. --Kiltman67 16:10, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: The Cleanup

message: With the exception of the Ali match it might be hard to find evidence that his fights (outside the Final Countdown) were legit. Not necessarily because they weren't, but rather that there isn't much written about them. It might be worth saying the Ali match was legit, since there's plenty evidence, but avoiding this issue with other matches. --Kiltman67 16:17, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: MMA Fights

message: I have read that Ali at first wanted the worked fight, but then altered his mind because he did not wish to deceive his fans (the first fight being a loss to Inoki, the worked sequel being a win)(Halbared 12:59, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: OK, where is it?

message: Though many of inoki's matches were dismissed by the skeptics as worked by some, there has been little or no proof at all to suggest the validity of the worked theory and Inoki's mixed martial arts opponents have never stated that the matches were "fake", till now he has confirmed of engaging in only one worked MMA match, that being Antonio Inoki vs Renzo Gracie.
Yet later in the article,
Inoki's other MMA-style matches are widely thought to have been worked, although many believe them to have been legitimate.
Is there a better way to word this because it sounds contradictory to me.

thread_title: Contradiction

message: Someone keeps adding this nonsense to the article: Inoki was the first government official from a democractic nation to have a political meeting with Fidel Castro of Cuba.
 Castro was meeting all kinds of people in the 1950s before he met Nixon in 1959. A political career meeting virtually every world leader from all continents from 1959 onwards indicates that Antonio Inoki, born in 1943, was not the first!-- Zleitzen(talk) 11:54, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  "accusations of Yakuza involvement and bribery" 

message: Contrary to what the article says, no reliable source establishes that Inoki had several MMA matches. Other than the one with Ali, all the rest of the is original research. Unless someone can provide reliable sources to back up that information, it will be removed along with the "Mixed martial arts" record section. Jfgslo (talk) 15:40, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed everything related to mixed martial arts that was original research or that had no verifiability. If someone believes that this information should be restored, then provide reliable sources that back it up, otherwise it will be removed again per WP:OR and WP:V.

message: In the current version of the page Inoki is listed as being a member of the Liberal Democrat Party from 2018–present. How does this make any sense? It's like listing him as being a member from 2018–2017. ToastButterToast (talk) 21:50, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
