(AJPW) Baba and The Destroyer!

Weekly Pro

February 1973

Before the match, the Demon King and Giant Baba were seen chatting and laughing, holding the bouquets they had been presented with.

"Baba, it's alright..." said the humorous Demon King, bestowing upon him some kind of secret power.

Baba quickly tags in The Destroyer while Negro is in their corner.

"The Demon King" The Destroyer and "The Giant" Baba teamed up. This took place on the night of December 21st at Korakuen Hall during the final match of the second "Giant Series" tour held by All Japan Pro Wrestling. Their opponents were Ciclón Negro and Moose Morowski.

The tag team of Destroyer and Baba prioritized fan service over the actual match—with Destroyer performing a sumo ring-entry ceremony and Baba engaging in a sumo bout against Morowski—sweeping the audience of 2,600 into a whirlwind of laughter during the final pro-wrestling event of 1972.

~ "I wished for it, and I won" After the match Destroyer was in high spirits, hugging Baba. 

~ Morowski puts The Destroyer in a full nelson, and Negro moves in... but they end up hitting each other.

Baba and Destroyer use Negro as a nuclear warhead and fire it at Morowski, who is suspended by a rope. 

~ The Destroyer had Negro locked in a Figure Four leglock, and it was over. Then Morowski said, "A Figure-Four...?" The Destroyer immediately applied his own Figure-Four, leaving Morowski screaming and writhing in pain.  

~ Sumo Wrestling: The two starters are locked in a firm grip, but then Baba ducked for a moment, threw a shoulder throw and Morowski "slams down, with a thud that shakes the mat".
