If it makes him happy, good for him. Such an interesting dude though. Easily one of wrestling's most unique characters.

.........wow. I did not know..........ANY of that. The name sounds like BS. Or it just greatly disappoints me. Come up with something wackier, Oriental gentleman who went with the first name "Antonio" for many years. Me neither, which is why I'm really interested in it right now. It's eerily fascinating to me, & would like to get details, because that's freakin' crazy! It's honestly the best chapter in Ring of Hell. Also, the infamous Ric Flair-Inoki match in North Korea in front of the largest (albeit starving) audience to ever watch a pro-wrestling event is part of IVP Video's Free Best Of Ric Flair DVD promotion, which you can download for free, here - new.ivpvideos2.com/product_info.php?products_id=9714

Dude, you're talking about a guy who was friends with Saddam Hussein, has a good relationship with the North Korean government, bought an island in the Caribbean because Fidel Castro told him there was a treasure there, for all intents and purposes created what is now called MMA, held shows in Theeran, Pyongyang and Soviet Moscow and when he slaps people in the face people thank him. This news doesn't sound like BS at all. .........wow. I did not know..........ANY of that. The name sounds like BS. Or it just greatly disappoints me. Come up with something wackier, Oriental gentleman who went with the first name "Antonio" for many years. Well, the "Antonio" name probably came from the fact that he came from Brazil to learn wrestling under Rikidozan (speaking about North Koreans...) and Antonio (more António, but let's leave that for another time) is a fairly common name in the Portuguese language.

Pretty sure he named himself after Antonino Rocca.

Inoki is awesome. He's Vince McMahon crossed with Hulk Hogan crossed with Chuck Norris. And, despite all of that, he is one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet outside the ring. Considering the life that he's had, his HOF induction was surreal.

If he really believes in Islam than good for him. However, if it's a plan to get people to see his tour than that's really pretty low and could backfire horribly if handled wrong. Has Inoki ever shown in interest in Islam before? According to Wikipedia, he converted since 1990.
