Tetsuya Naito is a wrestler who supports today’s New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
In his younger days, while his technical skills were top-tier, his performance style had issues and he struggled to gain widespread popularity.
However, after a 2015 excursion to Mexico, he radically changed his character, formed the unit Los Ingobernables de Japon, and—taking a stance that was neither heel nor face—quickly became the face of the promotion and won over the fans.
“STARDUST” is a famous theme song that Naito has used for many years.
Flaming Fighter INOKI BOM-BA-YEMichael Masser
Chances are, everyone has heard the entrance theme “Fighter of Fire: INOKI BOM-BA-YE” at least once.
It’s Antonio Inoki’s entrance music.
Younger people might not know this, but the song was originally used by boxer Muhammad Ali in his own film.
As thanks for the Inoki vs.
Ali bout, Ali is said to have gifted the song to Inoki, and Antonio Inoki has used it ever since.
By the way, “BOM-BA-YE” carries meanings like “Do it!” or “Knock him out!”
