Today is part three of Fumi Saito & Justin Knipper’s profile series on Giant Baba, where they continued talking about Baba and his relationship with the NWA until the late ’80s, plus the original “four pillars” of JWA. They also dug deeper into the dynamic of his relationship with Antonio Inoki and their rivalry throughout the ’70s and ’80, and talked of the nature of both AJPW and NJPW’s identity or philosophical roots and the repeated theme of establishment vs. anti-establishment in Baba vs. Inoki.
