Inoki Genome Federation (IGF) is a promotion in Japan founded by Antonio Inoki in 2007.
Overview
History
Antonio Inoki left New Japan Pro Wrestling, a promotion he founded in 1972, to start the IGF. Inoki carried over to IGF his National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) accreditation, making IGF the official Japanese territory of the NWA.
The first IGF show was held on June 29, 2007 at the Sumo Hall in Tokyo. The card was completely changed at the last minute, resulting in the 8,426 fans in attendance not knowing who or what they were going to see outside of the main event of Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar.
Shinichi Suzukawa was scheduled to face Bob Sapp in an IGF special rules Heavyweight bout on December 31, 2010, at K-1 Dynamite!! 2010. The fight was to be held under MMA rules, but the fighters wouldn't be wearing gloves. Closed-fist strikes would have been allowed, but palm strikes wouldn't have been permitted. The event was to air on HDNet in North America. However, the fight was canceled due to a last-minute contract dispute but the Japanese audience in attendance were told by the promoter involved in the contract dispute that Sapp “had lost his will to fight.” In 2011 the company gave a gift to Kim Jong Il, leader of North Korea. In August 2014, IGF held two shows in Pyongyang, North Korea.
On December 29, 2014, IGF announced a deal with PPTV to bring its programming to Chinese audiences. On October 28, 2016, IGF announced new brand called NEW that stands for NEXT EXCITING WRESTLING and to held big shows every month or but the goal of NEW is to focus on regional and smaller venues that never get to witness the larger scale IGF events. The shows will not be focused on Antonio Inoki’s name recognition hence why they have renamed the group. Though everyone involved will still work have the chance to work the larger scale IGF shows if able and thier event was on April 5, 2017. On June 2, 2017 IGF Director Simon Kelly Inoki annunced that Antonio Inoki is not directly involved with brand. On June 20, Inoki declared that IGF does not stands no longer exists in its former form and attended in which featured other shareholders of IGF announced that main branch has officially been put on a hiatus on June 14, but if he was not Inoki himself he attended a report saying that he received an incomprehensible response if was not accepted. But Inoki announced on May 25, 2017 to launch his new brand the Inoki ISM to be held on July 24 which had success. On July 26 NEW ceassed thier operations following three months due to on-going disputes and issues between Antonio Inoki and Simon Inoki. Which has lead to Simon and many others from the management team to quit IGF the other includes Keisuke Okuda, Akira Joh, Mitsuyoshi Nakai and Shinya Aoki.
