SNME 248 – Antonio Inoki, Mo Jabari, Andrade, Steamboat, More!

This week, we take a look back at the incredible contributions, experiments, and legacy of the legendary Antonio Inoki.  

Mike McGuire is joined by Dave Meltzer from the Wrestling Observer and the two talk about Inoki’s biggest gambles, his innovations to the business, and of course, the match against Muhammad Ali.  

Daniel Cormier is a BIG fan of professional wrestling, and is headed to WWE to referee the Fight Pit match between Rollins and Riddle – is this the gateway to getting Cormier/Lesnar in WWE? Also, Dave and Mike discuss the announcement that Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat is returning to the ring to tag with FTR, and whether or not this means Ric Flair will want one last, last match.   Andrade El Idolo is hinting that he’s unhappy in AEW – does a virtually non-existent build to a “career vs. mask” match against The Dark Order’s “10” signify his exit from the company?   Also, fresh from surviving a match against “The Nigerian Giant”, Omos, Alberta’s Mo Jabari, who wrestled as “Greg Lester” talks about the experience of being on Raw in front of millions, being under the guidance of Lance Storm and Bret “Hitman” Hart, and his involvement in Dungeon Wrestling, which has another star-studded card coming up at the end of the month in October.
