December 12th, Nippon Budokan, Tokyo
'85 World's Strongest Tag League Final Match

Match 4 (30 minute single bout)
Tiger Mask & Haru Sonoda* vs Kuniaki Kobayashi & Norio Honaga
(11 minutes 19 seconds, both teams counted out)

The focus of attention in this tag match, where action is essential, is Fuyuki, who is making his first appearance in Tokyo since returning to Japan.
He was impressive, landing a German suplex against Hara, who is inviting him to join the Blood Alliance. Perhaps driven by his seniority, Hara retaliates with a lariat.
As it was a tag match between four wrestlers with almost no difference in ability, the match was heated. Kobayashi used a fisherman's, Sonoda a flying cross attack, and Tiger a tombstone, all of which were signature moves, but Honaga's plancha and Tiger's "follow-up" tope led to a fight outside the ring, where the match was finished with a disappointing 10-count...  

Notes
Haru Sonoda: Kazuharu Sonoda
