GOTNW Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 About what you'd expect from a three minute exhibition match between those two, some nice grappling, a little awkward at times due to Renzo not being familiar with working but nothing significant overall. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the shenanigans surrounding the match. It was interesting to hear Renzo's post-match interview and how he saw the whole thing as well.

GSR Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 That looks very much like Kazuyuki ‘Iron Head’ Fujita as Inoki’s second. Someone presents them both with flowers and ‘the Chin’ thanks him by slapping him across the face to a big reaction. Double underhook suplex by Inoki. Gracie throws a kick, making sure it is well above Inoki’s head. Cartwheel pass. Renzo transitions from a triangle to an armbar. Inoki gets a bit more aggressive with his palm strikes then slaps on an abdominal stretch as the three minute time limit expires. We get a backstage interview from Renzo talking about it being an honour for him to share the ring with one of his heroes. He says how the family were a bit concerned how they would be seen participating in this, but he explained that it was only an exhibition and wouldn’t damage their credibility in any way. A serene, leisurely way to close the year out. 1187 matches watched, over half a million words written. 2000 in the bag, commitment complete.
