since Inoki came to the NWA he and Baba have been feuding. They have over the past few years had different partners help them out but for the past year Giant Baba, Tiger Mask and the Destroyer have been fighting against Antonio Inoki, Rikidozan and Jushin Liger.
lately the feud has been getting stale so at my final PPV of the year, Starcade, Baba with face Inoki in a Loser Leaves the NWA match.
I'm doing this for several reasons:
1) the feud is getting stale, it has been going on several years
2) the loser can go to the AWA and I can use both Baba and Inoki as faces instead of using Baba as a heel.
I'm still about 8 or 9 cards away, so I was just wondering who you all thought would win.
I'll post the results after the match.

Since Giant Baba defeated Antonio InoKi at my last Wrestlemania PPV, I'll vote for Giant Baba.  |

Since he's my favorite LOW wrestler, I'll take 'Mr. Fighting Spirit' Antonio Inoki!

Baba & Inoki were without question two of the all time greats. Excellent businessmen in and out of the ring who transcended the world of pro wres. While they were both very successful, for my money Baba was always the better booker.
LOW does a good job of capturing 'the best' days of Giant Baba. The man who could go Broadway with The Destroyer, wrestle a classic with Billy Robinson and work solid main events in front of huge crowds and lucrative gates with Bruno & The Funks. I hope when this Loser Leaves Town match goes down that the dice reflect that era of Baba...and not the mid to late 80's period...which would probably see Inoki put him to bed pretty fast.

While I really enjoy using both greats, Inoki gets the nod. Baba and Inoki can make a dynamite team, but to pick one it would Inoki.

I would pick Baba. Baba has always been a solid guy for me, sometimes hovering around the main event. My dice have never been real fond of Inoki. So my vote is for Giant Baba.

I voted Inoki because, well, if I had to pick one to stay and one to go in MY fed, I would send Baba packing.
But I've always been more of a "New Japan" guy than an "All-Japan" guy.

Baba & Inoki were without question two of the all time greats. Excellent businessmen in and out of the ring who transcended the world of pro wres. While they were both very successful, for my money Baba was always the better booker. Agreed on both counts (though Stan Hansen and Bruiser Brody would probably disagree about Inoki being an excellent businessman), but if I had to pick, I guess I'd go with Inoki. Dude is a multiple time champion in my fed, and I like him more than Baba. |
