Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye Review and Pictures
Props to NJPW
One night of true human live event took place on December 31st, 2003. Not depending on high-tech technology but focusing more on the power of the fans, the vibe of the fighters and the energy created by the people of Kobe, INOKI BOM-BA-YE 2003 turned out to be a very original event.
Perhaps, the night's highlight was the surprise match between Inoki and Fujinami, which created a wave of people to flock towards where the action took place. The fans enjoyed the Kobe Wing Stadium like it was Korakuen Hall (small event hall in Tokyo) by rushing towards the ring and breaking regular event rules.
Also, towards the end of the show, there was a big surprise when the fans were attracted to Inoki's positive energy, and thousands piled around Antonio Inoki to receive his TOUKON slap. This probably became an unforgettable memorial event for the fans and the media who were at the show.
Amazingly, nobody was angry, and it was just one happy high tension event with a big smile on everybody's face.
