Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Masahiro Chono & Hiro Saito vs Riki Choshu, Shinya Hashimoto & Junji Hirata - NJPW 2/12/95

Some dude on Reddit: Tenzan/Chono/Saito vs Choshu/Hashimoto/Hirata 

absolutely killed it with this excellent history of how the Wolves were formed. Tenzan was back from excursion and being recruited by various stables. Chono/Saito and Sabu were a team; I had no idea that Sabu was in the Wolves. Tenzan chose them and apparently Choshu was pissed. In this short 5 minute match which in this video is clipped, Tenzan gets his ass absolutely beat especially by Chosu. Unfortunately theres a clip in the transition and Tenzan is able to get the shock win after a Spike Piledriver and a Tenzan Headbutt on Choshu! Found the full video: definitely track down the full video...Choshu singles Tenzan out right as he is making his entrance. He makes a beeline for him and just kicks ass from pillar to post. Great pre-match brawl. The whole match is just three of them wrecking Tenzan's shit. That spike DDT by Hashimoto and those Lariats by Choshu. The missing piece is Chono has enough and Yakuza Kicks Choshu a bunch, not the most creative way and Hiro Saito takes out Hashimoto & Hirata with a chair. Tenzan pummels Choshu with headbutts and Mongolian Chops. Then aforementioned badass finish of a Spike Piledriver and top rope headbutt. 5 star angle! This is how you get a new stable over! 

There is a big melee! Crowd brawling! Lots of chairs Sabu comes out and starts swinging like a madman. Tenzan ends up doing a top rope Senton onto Hashimoto through a table while the Wolves stand tall. Very effective heel beatdown. Like the rest of the nascent Wolves angle, this all felt very Southern-Fried, Crockett style wrestling. The locker room brawl was also a great touch. I highly recommend watching the video and reading the poster's comments very interesting.
