Strong style is literally a meme
My actions aroused severe criticism among the OBs and old fans.
“How dare he get rid of Strong Style.”
“Tanahashi does not deserve Strong Style.”
So I asked them back,
“What exactly is this ‘Strong Style’ that you speak of?”
No one was able to give me a clear answer for my question.
A little while ago, when I talked with Inoki for a magazine interview, I asked him in person
“What exactly is ‘Strong Style’? ”
Inoki answered
“It’s something that people around me brought up on their own.”
I responded, “I figured.”
Pro-wrestling is “Image industry” in a way. Inoki professed “Strong Style” to generate such a big boom, and created “Inoki bolievers”. My father and I both love Inoki. Now that I think about it, Inoki should have brought that Strong Style with him (when he left NJPW).
It is without a doubt that the image of “NJPW as strongest” helped gain popularity for the company. And even after the Strong Style has lost its magical power, people were clinging on to it.
That’s why I appealed, “We can’t go on like this.”
And in that same interview, Inoki also stated
“When are you going to stop scrambling for a pie that I made so long ago!?”
So I promptly answered,
“I’m going to bring a new pie on the table!”
Inoki grinned and replied,
“I like that. Let your seniors retire already!”
