HANSEN, BRODY vs. BABA, TSURUTA


Stan Hansen, Bruiser Brody vs. Giant Baba, Jumbo Tsuruta
ALL JAPAN, The World Tag League '82
Dec. 9 1982 Sapporo Nakajima Taiiku Center (Sapporo)

Hansen and Brody, very popular and strong wrestlers formed a tag team (the team of super monsters), there was a wrestling boom in Japan. To tell the truth, the wrestling world of Japan had been pretty confused. The Butcher moved to NEW JAPAN, conversely Singh and Hansen joined in ALL JAPAN, these movements were called the headhunting wars. The activity of the team of super monsters was wiping off the bad atmosphere.

Baba and Tsuruta, the team of master and pupil, had to win this match to become the champion of this league. But it seemed very difficult to take a fall from Hansen or Brody. Before the fight, Baba said to Tsuruta "Think a way to get points !!"


The team of super monsters showed their wonderful powers, and the master and pupil team opposed by their brains. In fact, the relay play of Baba and Tsuruta was very speedy, and as a whole the Japanese team was rather superior.

But the theory of wrestling did not stand up in this match. Suddenly Hansen's Western Lariat knocked out Baba, and Hansen beat Tsuruta at the apron with Lariat, too. Then Brody took a fall from Baba with terrible Knee Drop. The TV announcer Kuramochi cried "Everything has happened in an instant !!"
