Looks like Valentine got a little flustered dealing with the power of the Great One... Gotta pick Inoki over X since he did manage to eliminate the Eighth Wonder of the World... Almost there!

Inoki looking to become the first three-time winner of this annual tradition... But, there's still one final hurdle... And I think it's gonna be the Great One that stops him cold.
