The one & only official twitter account for the GREATEST Super Heavyweight in the history of pro Wrestling. This account is ran by his Son. Who’s Da Man!!! 🖖🖖
Antonio Inoki….. my family and I owe you so much. Thank you for everything you did for our family, and the business we all love. Prayers to the family 🖖 RIP
Around a month ago my father was diagnosed with a severe case of Pneumonia. He fought extremely hard and clinically was making progress. Unfortunately, on Monday night his heart had enough and it was his time.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the love you guys continue to show my father. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It means the world to my family and I. 🖖
This is his son Jesse. I wanted to let everybody know that I just spoke to the Surgeon. The surgery was a success but it was worse than we had expected. Long road for recovery. Will keep you posted. Thank you for the prayers.
Words can’t explain how much love/support you guys have shown my father over his career. This weekend has been so beautiful for my mother and I. Thank you!!!
My Father learned from many but he always said he had two real mentors in the business. Harley Race was one of them. Harley was one of the greatest to ever lace them. Thank you for what you’ve done for this business and thank you for everything you’ve done for my Family.

This was Pops on his 50th Bday.
We specifically took it on this day to show 50s just a number and he could still bust heads.
My father was a 1 of 1. Not another like him.

A special thank you to two of my fathers favorites both in and out of the ring. Your words meant the world to my family. Thank you

My goal was not to upset anybody. I’ve had people tell me I’m trying to get famous from posting on this account. I’ve had people tell me I should use my personal accounts. With wrestling fans, who I have so much respect for, I can’t win.
Big Van Vader & Steve Austin x Ric Flair & Arn Anderson. One of the greatest tv matches of the 90’s. There’s so much incredible looking stuff in this 30 minute classic, it’s unreal. Peak WCW 1.0. (WCWSN · 11.13.1993) 🔥
26 years ago today my father and Ron Simmons made history. Crazy how time flies. I remember watching this as a kid and being so pissed. As I got older I eventually had tons of respect for this moment & with
@JRsBBQ
on the play by play 🔥🔥🔥 as usual.
Words can’t begin to describe how much I miss him. He’s taught me so much over the years and I am truly blessed to be the only individual to call him Dad.
This was when pops won the UWFI Heavyweight Championship and that is me when I was about 8. This is the only world title I saw my father win in Person. Pops is DA MAN!!! Love you and miss you Papa. ❤️❤️
Still getting great photos and stories from everyone. It’s making me smile from ear to ear. I owe you guys a lot & yes that me at about 8 years old.

Regardless my father left a legacy and I’m extremely fortunate & proud to do what I’ve been doing. He did so much for me and I owe him a lot.This has been the biggest part of my grieving process. So if I have upset anybody, it wasn’t my intention at all. THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT

Every1 has a spot on the card &
@JoeyRyanOnline
has his. Different flavors and maybe this isn’t his. When pops was green with AWA he was in the ring with Brody and Stan A LOT. Connecting the dots but Pops made his believable just like Brody/Stan did. Pops resume:13 WorldTitles🖖
My resting heart rate befor surgery was around75 ,now that the HEART HAS to work less with the cleansed vessels it beats in the mid to low forties, this is Great news Im grateful
For me the helmet is still one of the coolest items on in all of pro wrestling history. Wished it would of been used more in the states & yes I still have the helmet in my possession. He comes out on occasion. WHOS DA MAN!!!!

this photo was taken at the Douglas/Tyson fight. It was the day after pops fought Stan where his eye popped out (hence the black eye). Fun fact about this night, Stan and Pops sold out the night before. Tyson/Douglas only drew a little over half. WHOS DA MAN!!!!
Still in the hospital -Should be leaving soon to go into rehab its a long long ROAD BACK WHEN I GET BK I WILL WRESTLE ONE MORE TIME WRESTLING IS MY PASSION
High school All-American, 2X College All-American, NFL Draft pick to the LA Rams, Super Bowl, then became 13X World Champion on 4 different Continents. First ever American to Hold the IWGP, first wrestler ever to hold the IWGP and Triple Crown. Pops was a silver back. WHOS DA MAN
It’s truly can’t be put into words. You have helped me mourn the loss of my father and for that I am forever Thankful. So from the bottom of my heart.... THANK YOU... LOVE YOU ALL.
