In this compelling episode, Justin and Fumi delve deep into the legendary journey of Giant Baba, marking part three of their comprehensive profile series. The discussion illuminates Baba's profound influence in wrestling, particularly through his relationship and eventual split with the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). The conversation transitions through Baba's pivotal role in All Japan Pro Wrestling, highlighting his battles against contemporary rival Antonio Inoki and emphasizing the stark philosophical differences between All Japan and New Japan Pro Wrestling during the late 70s and 80s.
The episode explores Baba's strategic decisions, such as the inception of the Triple Crown, and how these transformed the landscape of Japanese wrestling. This exploration also touches upon the dynamics of wrestling's "establishment versus anti-establishment" narrative, and how Baba's collaboration with international talents elevated All Japan on the global stage. As the series nears its conclusion, listeners are treated to insights on how Baba's legacy continues to influence generations, setting the stage for the rise of wrestling icons Misawa, Kobashi, Kawada, and others who defined the next era of All Japan.
