Sting Reflects on Time In Japan, Being Able To Face Antonio Inoki

Sting recently looked back at his time working in Japan and noted that he had the rare chance to wrestle Antonio Inoki. The retired wrestling star spoke with Justin Dhillon on Casual Conversations With the Classic and during the discussion he was asked about any fond memories he had of his time in the country, singling out his matches with The Great Muta and Inoki.

“I mean, probably every match that I had with Muta,” The Icon began (per Fightful). “One in particular that’s going to be special, no matter what, gives me serious bragging rights, is that I wrestled Antonio Inoki. Not many people can say that.”

Sting faced Inoki in January of 1995 in the finals of the BVD Cup Martial Arts Tournament at the Tokyo Dome, with Inoki winning.
