(ALL JAPAN) Which one would you choose...? A sudden attack - Demon King Destroyer, Black Sorcerer Butcher, Baba!!

Weekly Pro

(December 1972)

Japan Pro Wrestling will host the Inter Championship Series featuring Brazil and Kiniski starting on November 17th.

International Pro Wrestling will host a week-long "Big Fight" featuring Bruiser and Crusher starting on November 24th.

All Japan Pro Wrestling will begin the second installment of their "Giant Series", featuring Butcher and Destroyer, on December 2nd, while New Japan Pro Wrestling will begin their "New Diamond Series" on November 12th. 

It truly feels like the Japanese wrestling world has entered the Warring States period.

But the choice is up to you, dear readers. Which one would you choose?

The foreign wrestlers participating in All Japan Pro Wrestling's second "Giant Series" are a lineup of formidable warriors, just as impressive as the first, featuring Sammartino, Terry, and Blassie. With the vacant World Heavyweight title on the line, a fierce fight is sure to unfold. 

KARL VON STEIGER

He and his younger brother, Kurt, are currently promoting themselves as the Steigner Brothers. They have appeared in Japan once before. They don't have any special skills, but their guerilla tactics are worth keeping an eye on...

ABDULLAH BUTCHER

He is currently the NWF World Heavyweight Champion. His bloody fights are so brutal, that even demons would weep. Last year in the 13th W League final, he was defeated by Baba, but currently he remains Baba's most feared opponent. 

CYCLON NEGRO

Japanese fans are more familiar with Calypso Hurricane than Cyclone Negro. He's a versatile wrestler, skilled in both technique and roughness. His signature move is the brainbuster, but his shoulder block in this year's W League* match was also impressive.

RUFUS JONES

He once appeared in the Japanese ring under the mocking name, Buster Lloyd. His weapon of choice is, without a doubt, his devastating headbutt, which he used to seize the title from Harley Race...

THE DESTROYER

This marks his 10th appearance in Japan, which he knows better than the Japanese. His signature move, the figure-four leg lock, is still as powerful as ever, and he's currently wreaking havoc in the AWA as Doctor X. He's fully motivated to take on Gagne's title!!!

MOOSE MOROWSKI

This man, Doctor Death, also known as Stan the Moose, is the man who wreaked havoc on international wrestling mats with his deadly piledriver. He's such a tough guy that even the current NWA champion* backs down
