JUMBO TSURUTA (INTERNATIONAL) vs. NICK BOCKWINKLE (AWA), double title match
1984, KURAMAE KOKUGIKAN (TOKYO)

As the successor of GIANT BABA, TSURUTA had been too young. But in the previous year, He had wrested INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP from BRUISER BRODY, and he was growing up into a strong wrestler.

Unexpectedly, NICK attacked hard. TSURUTA endured for long time.
Finally, TSURUTA's back drop defeated NICK.
TSURUTA had been learned this beautiful bridge from LOU THESZ.

TSURUTA was the only Japanese wrestler who experienced the circuit in USA as the world champion.
He died young...
This match is the lasting memory of us.
