Single (Softcover) Tokuma Shoten / New Japan Pro Wrestling VS All Japan "Over 50 Years of Fighting Picture Scrolls"!
It started with Baba vs. Inoki !
Both are New Japan Pro Wrestling and All Japan Pro Wrestling , which were launched in 1972. Looking back at the relationship between the two promotions, the truth about the rise and fall of Japanese Pro Wrestling emerges. It has been a picture of more than 50 years of struggle.
In an era when the two giants were at odds, an endless war of pull-out broke out. Affiliated fighters and foreign wrestlers go back and forth between the two mats, and sometimes betrayal occurs again when they think they are in their honeymoon period.
When the BI era ended, a cooperative line was born. In the fight in the ring, the Three Musketeers and the Four Heavenly Kings competed against each other, and both promotions led to the Pro Wrestling boom in the Heisei era.
Baba passed away in 99, and all of Japan was divided. Still, he stopped in the competition against New Japan Pro Wrestling. The times changed from corporate wars to coexistence and co-prosperity, and the era name became Reiwa. In 2022, Inoki will also pass away.
The next half century has begun again.
