Stan Hansen, Terry Gordy vs. Bruiser Brody, Jimmy Snuka
ALL JAPAN, The World Tag League '87
Nov 22, 1987 Korakuen Hall (Tokyo)
In the history of Japanese wrestling, this must be the most memorable match. I think so keenly, and at least it is true that this was an important fight for us.
Brody had gotten International Championship from Dory Funk Jr. in 1981, in effect he had become the ace of ALL JAPAN's foreigner wrestlers.
Hansen had fought against Inoki harshly, but he suddenly moved to ALL JAPAN.
Brody and Hansen formed a tag team (the team of super monsters), and they conquered the wrestling world of Japan.
Temporally Brody joined NEW JAPAN in 1985, but it was a failure. He returned to ALL JAPAN, and teamed up with Snuka again. In fact, when they formed a team in the tag league '81, Hansen broke into the ring, and he gave a shock to Japanese fan.
At that time, TV commentator Yamada said "Hansen desuyo !!" (That's Hansen !!)
Because I like this dialogue "Hansen desuyo !!", I often say so everyday. (ha-ha)
To be continued.
