My memory of Inoki from the NJ 80s set process, is that he would have a lot of singles matches, where he would have his opponents hit some offense for a bit and then he would just stop selling and clean their clock, without any real transition or story. It was a pretty bad match formula and it happened a lot, to the point if you saw Inoki not in a big match you would know exactly how the match was going to go. His big match performances were really good, I loved the Fujiwara series for example, but day to day it was tough. In many ways he is similar to DiBiase in the Mid-South set, where you had some all time classics at the high end, and painfully dull stuff outside of that.
