Huh. So in this universe, Inoki's reign is recognized. Innerestin.
Welp, I just spent four or five hours binge-reading Royal Rumble 2010 to here. I've been keeping tabs on this blog for years, but the new "ongoing link" feature REALLY makes it easy to follow what a brilliant narrative arc you've woven. I'm really loving it.
