🤼 The wildest thing in this whole match is Inoki putting Gotch over clean as a whistle with this fairly basic counter throw. He's Antonio Inoki! It's his show! He gave Gotch like 75% of the offense! Incredible choice for a company debut.

Makes me crazy that there&#39;s no real footage of him in his prime. There&#39;s a &#39;61 match vs Bob Geigel that probably rules, &#39;67 vs Bockwinkel gotta be incredible, &#39;63 vs Thesz, etc etc.</p> </div> </div> <!-- Replies --> <div class="mt-2"> &lt;div class=&quot;border-l-2 border-slate-800/60 pl-4 py-2 mt-3 ml-2&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;flex items-start gap-2.5&quot;&gt; &lt;!-- Avatar --&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://cdn.bsky.app/img/avatar/plain/did:plc:lpogoljo22n5trxlbztmbyog/bafkreiar75mrslgj4wuaqujwo4bw3kshxmog56ckv5pwrb5jm25wsmpxcm&quot; class=&quot;w-6 h-6 rounded-full shrink-0 border border-slate-800&quot; /&gt; &lt;!-- Comment Content --&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;flex-1 min-w-0&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;flex items-center gap-2 mb-1&quot;&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;text-xs font-bold text-slate-300&quot;&gt;Simon&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;text-[10px] text-slate-500&quot;&gt;@bauxoffice.bsky.social&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;text-[9px] text-slate-600&quot;&gt;· Jul 10, 09:11 PM&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;text-xs text-slate-350 leading-relaxed break-words&quot;&gt;I just pulled up Gotch&amp;#39;s Canadian results to see if he came out here.
