10 Most Outrageous Pro Wrestling Entrances
Not every pro wrestling entrance is a walk to the ring
1. Antonio Inoki - Dream/IGF Fight For Japan 2011
We don't think we're far off when we say that the late Antonio Inoki had a few ‘out there’ ideas in his time.
Fighting Muhammad Ali, promoting shows in North Korea, negotiating for hostages with Iraq, buying one of Fidel Castro’s islands after he became convinced there was buried treasure there, we could go on and on but one of the weirdest moments in Inoki’s on-camera career came at the Dream/IGF Fight for Japan show on New Year’s Eve 2011.
Following a (worked) bout between Josh Barnett and Hideki Suzuki, Inoki was carried from the entrance ramp to the ring on a cross.
He was let down, entered the ring and used a bucket of paint to draw a symbol (while simultaneously cutting a promo), before being interrupted by Tiger Jeet and Tiger Ali Singh, who proceeded to smack him with a kendo stick, only to then stop the beating, apologise, raise Inoki’s hand and give him a kendo stick before leaving the ring.
