[Instant News/Comprehensive Report]Antonio Wrestler, a former professional wrestler who served as a two-term Japanese senator Inogi (Inogi Kuanzhi) passed away today (1st) at the age of 79.
According to comprehensive Japanese media reports, he has amyloidosis, which is usually complicated by patients with rheumatoid arthritis and tuberculosis. It may be infectious like mad cow disease. He was in poor health for the first two days and had been recuperating at home. Although his condition improved the day before, he suddenly became serious this morning (1st) and finally died at home.
Born in 1943 (Showa 18), Inoki lost his father at the age of 5 and moved to Brazil with his family at the age of 13 to work on a coffee farm. When he won the shot put in the track and field competition, he was spotted by Rikidoyama, the father of Japanese professional wrestling who went to Brazil.
Inoki married actress Shirataka Mitsuko in 1972 and later divorced. He fought world heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali in the ring in 1976. He also established the “Party of Sports and Peace” in 1989 and ran for the Japanese Senate election, becoming the first professional wrestler elected to the National Assembly.
according to“Wikipedia”, As the Japan Professional Wrestling Association has always focused on the racecourse, which made Inoki feel left out, so he quit the Japan Professional Wrestling Association and joined the Tokyo Professional Wrestling founded by Toyo. However, due to the continuous embezzlement of public funds by Todeng, Tokyo Pro Wrestling declared bankruptcy following only three months of its establishment. As the president, Inoki had to return to the Japan Pro Wrestling Association in order to pay off the debt.
After returning to the Japan Professional Wrestling Association, Inoki and Baba teamed up to form a doubles partner and won a total of four National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) international doubles championships. The media named the pair “BI Cannon” and said This period of heyday was called the “Horse Farm and Inoki Era”.
