Giant Baba, Bruno Sammartino vs. Tiger Jeet Singh, Umanosuke Ueda
ALL JAPAN
Oct 9, 1981 Kuramae Kokugikan (Tokyo)
This performance was opened as the tenth anniversary of the establishment of ALL JAPAN.
Giant Baba and Bruno Sammartino, two great wrestlers teamed up.
They were good friends since their rookie days. May be this was the first time that they formed a tag team.
Singh and Ueda, both of them were typical heels.
Though Singh had been belonging to NEW JAPAN, Baba took him over to ALL JAPAN.
At that time, the two parties conflicted harshly, it was called 'the war of headhunting'.
Singh and Hansen moved to ALL JAPAN, The Butcher and Bｒody were hired away by NEW JAPAN.
Well, the famous wrestlers met there, but frankly speaking this match was commonplace.
Bruno had been injured by Hansen in 1976, and he was a semi-retired wrestler. But we were satisfied with his Bear Hug !!
