tomk Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 This may be the wrong folder to write this in. If it is i'm sorry, move to appropriate place. I don't see a shills/requests folder. Ok so I was reading about this match in a lucha mag, where it was discussed as though the idea behind it was similar to the deal with the Dragons Gate guys in ROH, hot Japanese feud being brought into foreign land. According to the lucha article, audience was angry because they thought "Hey this is supposed to be the top matchup in Japan, why is this guy mailing it in thus disrespecting the Mexican audience"... So I think I've seen other matches from this show, but can't find the Inoki v Singh 2/3 falls match from Mexico. Someone must have it. I want to see it. Where do I find it?

jdw Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 It aired on TV Asahi: 10/24/80 Taped 10/24/80 in Okinawa 1. Hulk Hogan & Ron Starr d. Riki Choshu & Tatsumi Fujinami 2. WWF North American Title: Seiji Sakaguchi d. Umanoseke Ueda 6:49 3. UWA Hvy Title: Tiger Jeet Singh d. Antonio Inoki 11:46 Ask Dan. He was obsessive about getting everything related to TJS vs. Inoki. I do see two other UWA title matches the two had that year popping up on lists that Dan would have access to: 4/13/80 in Mexico City (aired 4/18/80) and 7/17/80 in Kuramae Sumo Hall (aired 7/18/80).

jdw Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 This was the match from Mexico earlier in the year: 04/18/80 Taped 04/13/80 in Mexico City 1. Gran Hamada & Satoru Sayama d. BabyFace & Perro Aguayo 2. WWF Jr. Title: Tatsumi Fujinami d. Fishman ( a ) Fujinami 7:00 ( b ) Fishman 2:15 ( c ) Fujinami 3:11 3. UWA Hvy Title: Antonio Inoki d. Tiger Jeet Singh ( a ) Singh 12:33 ( b ) Inoki 5:43 ( c ) Inoki 4:00 If Dan doesn't have it, he has access to it and this would help point him in the direction of the tape: List B 16 Baba VS REISU (55/9/10NWA) REISU VS mass crow (55/9/17NWA) BUTCHA VS Terry (55/11UN) Inoki VS Hansen (55/4/3NWA) Inoki VS Singh (55/4UWA) Tsuruta & Fujinami & mass crow VS door & Takachiho & Masa 斎藤(54/8/26) * He knows what that means. If he doesn't, I can refresh it for him. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
