(ALL JAPAN) Dressing Room

Weekly Pro

31st December 1985 (Issue No.125)

...At each venue, the Pro Wrestling Souvenir Shop becomes especially lively before the match begins. The All Japan Pro Wrestling corner features mainstays like Giant Baba, Jumbo Tsuruta, Tenryu, and Tiger Mask, who take turns signing autographs for customers who purchase items featured in the "autograph" section. Special sweatshirts and caps are popular in the winter. Sales of the January series are said to be strong every year, helped by the New Year's money boom.
Why not look your best in All Japan colors or with a All Japan vibe?

...This is the time of year when New Year's cards are being prepared and Christmas cards are arriving. The world-famous Giant Baba and Joe Higuchi are the two pillars of All Japan Pro Wrestling, but with Valentine's Day fast approaching, younger wrestlers will steal the show and take center stage.

...Even in this cold weather, wrestlers are still wearing short sleeves and T-shirts. While jackets and other items are heavily weighted towards keeping warm, slacks are often thin, like summer wear. "These days, wherever you go, there are separate toilets, and it's not that cold outside of Hokkaido," said Jumbo Tsuruta. The cold will likely peak in Otaru on February 14th and Sapporo on February 5th.
