(ALL JAPAN) Dressing Room

Weekly Pro

16th July 1985 (Issue No.101)

The Budokan has drawn to a close with much buzz, so now we are getting serious about the "Summer Action Wars"! 

Good news for collectors! Special pamphlets for "Special Wars in Budokan" will be sold at each All Japan Pro Wrestling venue for 500 yen each. This is a great opportunity for fans who couldn't make it to the Nippon Budokan to start collecting.

...and for record-breakers: PWF Heavyweight Champion Giant Baba defeated Rusher Kimura in a showdown at the Budokan to successfully defend his PWF title for the third time and 60th time overall. Saying 60 bouts is a simple statement, but it's certainly an impressive record. "60 bouts? It's not so much the numbers, it's the content of each bout. The fight against The fight against Killer Toa Kamata in Akita, where my consecutive title defenses were stopped, and the bout against Hansen. Strangely enough, the bouts I lost are the ones that stick out more in my mind," Baba said. Is he aiming for the 70 mark next?

...Tiger Mask is disappearing from the ring. After being completely defeated by Kuniaki Kobayashi at the Budokan, Tiger declared, "I'll try again." However, Tiger's true nature lies in his fighting spirit. I hope he can break through this wall and show his true potential.
