Giant Baba vs. Umanosuke Ueda
Mar. 1983 Korakuen Hall (Tokyo)
In the early 80's, Ueda joined in ALL JAPAN, and formed a tag team with Tiger Jeet Singh again. They often broke into the ring meaninglessly, interrupted the other wrestlers' matches. These actions made some grudge matches, especially Tenryu got angry with Ueda very much.
It was very impressive that Tenryu fought against Ueda with a lumberjack death match. In those days Tenryu could not be a champion, and he was having a hard time of making his own fight-style. After all, Ueda helped Tenryu to become a good wrestler.
Ueda didn't stop his bad acts, at last Giant Baba, the big boss of ALL JAPAN, made up his mind to punish Ueda. Of course that was on a scenario, and Ueda was receiving a salary from Baba. (ha-ha) I was anxious about this match. Because Baba and Ueda, both of them were already veteran wrestlers, there was a risk of showing a tedious fight.
However, this match was a cruel struggle. As if Baba needed to impress a punishment, he fired shots of ARM BREAKER at Ueda successively. Ueda dislocated his left shoulder, and a referee Joe Higuchi declared that Baba was the winner.
