TAPE 1418
Quality: EX (*MASTER*)
Length: 2 hrs (DVD)
ALL JAPAN G+ CLASSICS 43 (More from this awesome AJ show featuring complete classic matches from
their archives. I've got a DVD master so VQ is EX.)
Terry Funk & Dick Slater vs Jerry Lawler & Don Diamond, 2/20/82 (The All Japan guys are
touring the US, so they tape a house show in St. Petersburg, FL. The matches from 2/20/82
are all from Florida. Here we get Terry Funk and his imitator/doppelganger team up!)
Giant Baba vs Iron Mike Sharpe, 2/20/82 (Sharpe does his best but Baba looks awful and the
crowd lets them know.)
Bruiser Brody & Stan Hansen vs Jumbo Tsuruta & Genichiro Tenryu, 2/20/82 (Amazing - this is
basically a one-sided squash. I'm stunned the match went this way given that it was being
taped to show back in Japan.)
Ric Flair vs Mike Graham, 2/20/82 (Graham gets an NWA title shot and ends up getting
disqualified for not breaking a submission.)
Jumbo Tsuruta & Genichiro Tenryu vs Ricky Harris & The Mongolian Stomper, 2/28/82 (Harris is
better as Black Bart. The All Japan tour continues in Atlanta, GA and they tape another
house show. Tenryu takes a nasty bump in this one, landing with his leg on the ringside
barrier when tossed from the ring. These matches are from one part of a giant NWA world
tag tournament being held in 1982. They planned tournaments in a bunch of cities with
all the winners to meet in a tournament for the titles. It fizzled but these matches
are from the Atlanta portion.)
Jumbo Tsuruta & Genichiro Tenryu vs Ron Fuller & Leroy Brown, 2/28/82
Jumbo Tsuruta & Genichiro Tenryu vs Stan Hansen & Ole Anderson, 2/28/82 (Tsuruta & Tenryu
get squashed again, this time in less than 4 minutes!)
Jack & Jerry Brisco vs Stan Hansen & Ole Anderson, 2/28/82
Giant Baba vs Terry Gordy, 2/28/82
