GIANT BABA vs. UMANOSUKE UEDA

Giant Baba vs. Umanosuke Ueda

ALL JAPAN
Mar. 1983 Korakuen Hall (Tokyo)


JAPAN PRO-WRESTLING was established by Rikidozan and it prospered as the biggest party in Japan, but in the last of 60's it was in financial difficulties on account of indiscreet leaders. Giant Baba and Antonio Inoki tried to unite in fighting disorderly management. However, they were informed secretly, and the plan failed.

Inoki was banished from the organization as a ringleader, and then Baba was disappointed and left the party. JAPAN PRO-WRESTLING lost two superstars at a time. After a few month it failed. And they say that the informer was Umanosuke Ueda. (Nobody knows the truth.)

Ueda joined NEW JAPAN (Inoki's party) and formed a tag team with Tiger Jeet Singh. Every week they attacked Seiji Sakaguchi and Strong Kobayashi (NWF North American Tag champion team) harshly. Ueda and Singh infringed the rules many times over, Sakaguchi and Kobayashi received it like nonresistant. That became a specialty of NEW JAPAN. What wonderful champions they were !!
