Another solid back and forth tag match. It was hard for either team to get the upperhand. Rikidozan picked it up and beat the Masked Superstar with the hiplock.

John Pesek, Evan Lewis, J.J. Dillon & Bruiser Costa def. Danny Hodge, Mike Graham, Angelo Poffo & Wild Bill White

A ton of action in this eight-man tag. Great back and forth moves and tags. In the end it was Pesek beating Poffo after a fireman's carry slam.

The Ortons def. Mr. Fuji & Mr. Saito

This one was over in a hurry. Orton Sr. put Fuji down hard with the piledriver and Orton Jr. superplexed him for the win.

Frank Gotch def. Ed Lewis

As good of a wrestling exhibition as you would expect from these two. It was real even but Gotch was able to get the win with the Gotch Toehold.

A great back and forth battle here. These teams went toe to toe for a very long time. Giant Baba was able to drop Larry Zbyszko with the Neckbreaker Drop.

Iron Sheik really had this one in hand and nearly won on several occasions. The fight went outside and the Iron Sheik was disqualified.

Evan Lewis def. Mike Graham

It didn't take long for this Strangler to put away Mike Graham with his signature move.

John Pesek def. Henry Irslinger by C.O.

The Tiger Man opened up the offense here. He dominated the bout but didn't seem concerned about finishing off his opponent, and took the win by count out.

IRON MAN / IRON TEAM TOURNAMENT

Dan Spivey & Giant Bernard def. Mr. Fuji & Mr. Saito

The twin towers walked all over Mr. Fuji. Spivey turned him for the Bernard Driver and the quick pin.

Curt Hennig def. Ed Lewis

A quick win for Mr. Perfect. He set Lewis up and put him down with the Perfect Plex.

The Ortons def. The Love Brothers by D.Q.

A real good match didn't have a decisive ending. The teams went at it for a long time but the Love Brothers went to the floor where they were disqualified.

Iron Sheik def. Steve Williams

Dr. Death was looking good and powering his way through the Iron Sheik. He missed a turnbuckle charge and the Iron Sheik grabbed the pin.

The Super Destroyers def. The Enforcers

Solid tag team action in this one. Things were pretty even but the Masked Superstar put Greg Valentine down with the Spinning Neckbreaker.

An amazing match as Johnny Valentine nearly killed Frank Gotch but couldn't get the win. It was crazy as Gotch somehow kept kicking out and staying alive to win with the Gotch Toe Hold. (Gotch 8 coins, Valentine 3 coins).

Rikidozan & Antonio Inoki def. Giant Baba & Don Leo Jonathan

Another good back and forth match and the fans didn't know who to cheer for. It was pretty even but Rikidozan found a way to get a pin on Giant Baba.

George Hackenschmidt def. Harley Race

A very big match for the Iron Man standings. These two stood toe to toe with neither able to keep the upperhand for very long. Hackenschmidt just went to the mat and wrestled his way to the win with a keylock armbar.

ALL-ASIA TAG TEAM TITLES
Kangaroos (ch) def. Blackjacks

The Kangaroos are certainly wrestling like the best tag team in the world today. They owned this match and just did everything but pin Ted DiBiase. Somehow he stayed alive for a tag but Blackjack Mulligan didn't last too long before the Roos landed the Boomerang for the win. (DiBiase 7 coins)

ALL-ASIA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

JWA JUDGMENT
Misawa Air Force Base
Misawa, Japan
Jan. 1, 2120

THREE-WAY DANCE
Ron Hutchison def. Angelo Poffo and Frank Dalton

Fast and furious is how the pace of this one went. Hutchison really turned it on and carried the offense against both opponents. Poffo then did the same with nearfalls on Dalton. Hutchison scored the first fall on Dalton with a Kiwi Roll.

Hutchison then caught Poffo coming in with a dropkick and grabbed the three count to win the match.

Mike Graham def. J.J. Dillon by C.O.

The speedy Graham had this one go his way most of the time. Dillon was nearly counted out once but was able to get some offense going for himself. Graham came back and Dillon was knocked to the outside after a cross body and was counted out of the ring.

Tomoka Nakagawa def. Sumie Sakai

An IWWF feature match was completely one-sided. Tomoka Nakagawa obliterated Sumie Sakai. Nakagawa was non-stop motion and offense and hit Sakai with practically everything she has in her arsenal. Nakagawa never did get to her finisher but she did the damage and beat Sakai with the bow and arrow.

Evan Lewis def. Henry Irslinger

Next up was a pretty good back and forth match. Lewis slowly took control but Irslinger wouldn't go down easily. Eventually Lewis took the win with the Stranglehold.

BRASS KNUCKLES MATCH
Bruiser Costa def. Wild Bill White

Bruiser dished out the damage with the brass knucks. Outside he nailed White with a steel pipe. Back inside a dropkick by the big man sent White down for the three.

BEST 2/3 FALLS
John Pesek def. Danny Hodge, 2-0

A tremendous battle in the first fall. Pesek really took over but Hodge wouldn't go away. Both men were very close to winning the first fall. Hodge got his Oklahoma Sideroll, but Pesek was non-stop going to his submission moves and finally beat Hodge with the Tiger Man Toehold. (Hodge 6 coins, Pesek 3 coins).

Hodge continued to fight but he didn't have much left. Pesek wouldn't stop until taking the match with a lateral press keylock.

NWA WORLD JR. HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Delirious (ch) def. El Generico

This one ended in a hurry. El Generico started fast with a few moves but Delirious hammered him off the ropes. The masked champion used the Red Poison to drop the challenger and pin him just like that. Delirious wasn't done and leveled Generico after the match with the Bizarro Driver.

JWA IRON MAN / IRON TEAM TOURNAMENT

Dan Spivey & Giant Bernard def. Love Brothers

The big men ran roughshod over the Love Brothers. Dan Spivey powerbombed Reginald Love for the win.

A really good match of contrasting styles. Both men had the other down with their finisher. Valentine picked it back up and won with the Skullcrusher.

Destroyer and Masked Superstar really had this match going their way. The Blackjacks were on the defensive the entire match. The Masked Superstar finally finished off Blackjack DiBiase with the sleeper. (Mulligan 5 coins, DiBiase 4 coins)

Ed Lewis def. Harley Race

Race was on top and really going to work. Lewis found an opening and won with the Headlock.

Giant Baba & Don Leo Jonathan def. Mr. Fuji & Mr. Saito by D.Q.

Another real good encounter between these four. Fuji and Saito had a lot more of the offense but it was Saito getting his team disqualified.

An awesome back and forth battle. Neither man would go down after multiple finishers. Bockwinkel came out the victor after the figure four leglock.

Antonio Inoki & Rikidozan def. Enforcers

The Hammer started out well against Rikidozan. Inoki got the tag and beat Zbyszko with the Octopus Hold.

ALL-ASIA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
The Ortons def. The Kangaroos (ch)

The Kangaroos have already won the Iron Team Tournament. They wanted one more win to go undefeated at 9-0. The Ortons didn't let that happen. The Roos really controlled the match but could not finish off the Ortons. It was Bob Orton Jr. battling hard and able to put Al Costello down to win the titles.

ALL-ASIA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Buddy Rogers (ch) def. Frank Gotch
