History

Image:Antonio Inoki IMG 0398-2 20121224.JPG

Antonio Inoki founded the Inoki Genome Federation (IGF) after selling New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), a promotion he founded in 1972. The first IGF show was held on June 29, 2007 at the Sumo Hall in Tokyo, Japan. The show's main event was a match between Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar, where they competed for Lesnar's IWGP Heavyweight Championship.{{Cite web |last=Woodward |first=Hamish |date=2023-11-17 |title=How Inokism Almost Killed New Japan Pro Wrestling - Atletifo |url=https://atletifo.com/features/how-inokism-almost-killed-new-japan-pro-wrestling/ |access-date=2023-11-28 |language=en-GB}}

From 2007 to 2008, the IGF served as the Japanese territory of the National Wrestling Alliance.{{cite web|url=https://superluchas.com/super-luchas-se-convierte-en-medio-asociado-de-la-national-wrestling-alliance-nwa/|title=Súper Luchas se convierte en medio asociado de la National Wrestling Alliance (NWA)|work=Superluchas.com|access-date=May 3, 2020}}{{cite web|url=http://www.purolove.com/misc/igf/results/results17.php|title=Inoki Genome Federation Pro-Wrestling Results: 2017|work=PUROLOVE.com|accessdate=May 3, 2020|quote=In the usual Inoki manner, the debut show was followed by great controversy. In the run-up to the show, Inoki already announced that she wanted to fight out the IWGP Heavyweight Title in the main event between Lesnar and Angle. Brock Lesnar was the holder of the title until July 2006, but then refused to lose a title match against Hiroshi Tanahashi, whereupon New Japan (owner of the IWGP trademark) revoked the title. However, Lesnar refused to return the title and simply kept it to himself. After announcing the IGF main event, Inoki said Lesnar was still the champion and that the title would be at stake in the match. The NWA governing body recognized Lesnar (and then Angle, who won the debut show title) as the NWA Japan Champion}}

On December 31, 2010, Shinichi Suzukawa was scheduled to face Bob Sapp in an IGF special Super Heavyweight bout at K-1 Dynamite!! 2010.{{cite web|url=http://dreamofficial.com/free/fightcard/?id=20101231|title=DREAM Dynamite!! 2010|publisher=dreamofficial.com|access-date=2010-12-01}} The fight was to be held under modified MMA rules, with the fighters being barred from wearing gloves, closed-fist strikes being illegal, and palm strikes being permitted.{{cite web|url=http://mmajunkie.com/news/21875/overeem-vs-duffee-official-for-dream-dynamite-2010-special-rules-detailed.mma|title=DREAM "Dynamite!! 2010," special rules detailed|publisher=mmajunkie.com|date=December 29, 2009}} The fight was planned to air on HDNet in North America.{{cite web|url=http://mmajunkie.com/event/698/dream-dynamite-2010.mma|title=Dream Dynamite 2010|publisher=mmajunkie.com|date=December 31, 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100725150334/http://mmajunkie.com/event/698/dream-dynamite-2010.mma|archive-date=July 25, 2010}} However, the fight was canceled due to a last-minute contract dispute with Sapp; the Japanese audience in attendance were told by the K-1 promoters involved in the dispute that Sapp “had lost his will to fight.”{{cite web|url=https://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news?slug=dm-nyejapan123110|title=Overeem win highlights traditional NYE show|work=Yahoo Sports|date=31 December 2010 }}

In 2011, the promotion presented a gift to Kim Jong Il, the-then leader of North Korea as part of a diplomatic effort.{{Cite web |url=http://www.kcna.co.jp/item/2011/201109/news10/20110910-29ee.html |title=Gift to Kim Jong Il from Japanese |access-date=2011-09-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120519022026/http://www.kcna.co.jp/item/2011/201109/news10/20110910-29ee.html |archive-date=2012-05-19 |url-status=dead }} In August 2014, IGF held two shows in Pyongyang, North Korea.{{cite web|url=http://www.igf.jp/event/pyongyang/|title=インターナショナル・プロレスリング・フェスティバルin平壌 - アントニオ猪木 IGFプロレスリング|work=igf.jp|access-date=2014-12-31|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140905020247/http://www.igf.jp/event/pyongyang/|archive-date=2014-09-05|url-status=dead}}

On December 29, 2014, IGF announced a deal with PPTV to bring its programming to Chinese audiences.{{cite web|url=http://www.daily.co.jp/newsflash/ring/2014/12/29/0007621598.shtml|title=IGFが中国最大ネットTV局と提携|author=デイリースポーツ社|work=daily.co.jp|date=8 September 2023 }} In 2015, Durango Kid and Laberinto, two of Inoki's former students, along with karateka Alfredo Perez, established an IGF off-shoot promotion in the United States called Inoki Sports Management,{{cite web|url=http://socaluncensored.com/2019/04/18/lucha-otaku-and-inoki-sports-management-partner-to-launch-purolucha/|title= Lucha Otaku and Inoki Sports Management partner to launch PuroLucha|work=SoCal Uncensored|author=Bryant, Steve|date=April 18, 2019|accessdate=April 11, 2024}} also known as Lucha Wrestling Puroresu.{{cite web|url=https://www.cagematch.net/?id=8&nr=1888|title=Lucha Wrestling Puroresu (LWP)|work=Cagematch.net|accessdate=April 11, 2024}} The three men would also re-establish the Inoki Dojo in Los Angeles.

In 2017, Antonio inoki began distancing himself from the IGF and created a new promotion called ISM. After the creation of ISM, Antonio's son-in-law Simon Inoki gained more influence within the promotion and created a new brand under the IGF banner called Next Exciting Wrestling (NEW). The IGF's inaugural NEW show was held on April 20, 2017. On March 23, 2018, Antonio Inoki sold his part of the promotion and left the IGF. In April 2018, Nosawa Rongai, along with IGF wrestlers Kendo Kashin and Kazuyuki Fujita, created an IGF off-shoot promotion known as Hagure IGF International.{{cite web|url=https://superluchas.com/igf-hagure-cartel-international-flight-arkangel-invitado-especial/|title=IGF Hagure: Cartel para «International Flight», Arkangel, invitado especial|work=Súper Luchas|date=March 7, 2018|accessdate=April 9, 2024}}{{cite web|url=https://superluchas.com/igf-hagure-cartel-international-flight-arkangel-invitado-especial/|title=Hagure IGF International: "Lauching Business" Comienza un proyecto|work=Súper Luchas|date=April 6, 2018|accessdate=April 9, 2024}} A new brand featuring IGF's Chinese wrestlers called {{Nihongo|Eastern Heroes|东方英雄|Toho Eiyu-den}} was later founded by Simon Inoki. On June 26, Eastern Heroes wrestlers participated on night 8 of Pro Wrestling Noah's Navigation with Emerald Spirits tour.{{cite web|url=https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=201233|title=NOAH Navigation With Emerald Spirits 2018 - Tag 8|work=Cagematch.net|accessdate=April 10, 2024}} The IGF closed on January 9, 2019. After the IGF's closure, Assist Co., Ltd., the promotion's parent company, opened a chain of bakeries, leading to both Kendo Kashin and Simon Inoki to humorously state "IGF has become a bakery".{{Cite web|title=IGFがパン屋になったり覆面レスラーがWWEで授業する本【多重ロマンチック的ぼくらのプロレス】|url=http://boku-pro.com/news/view/19052|website=boku-pro.com|accessdate=2020-05-15|publisher=ぼくらのプロレス|date=2019-07-29}}{{Cite web|title=【最終回】サイモン・ケリー「IGFはパン屋になって、みんな幸せになった」:Dropkick|url=https://ch.nicovideo.jp/dropkick/blomaga/ar1934208|website=Dropkick:ブロマガ - ニコニコチャンネル|accessdate=2020-08-28|publisher=|first=|date=2020-08-15}}

In February 2011, IGF started a tournament to determine the first ever IGF Champion, which eventually led to a final match between Jérôme Le Banner and Josh Barnett.
