After the concert, the show came to liven
up when the 18 pro wrestlers enter the ring and face each other. The ring was
set as a special centerpiece of the hotel ballroom.
In
the first fight, a tag team of Toshiyo Yamada, Dump Matsumoto and Kaoru Itoh
fought the team of Kyoko Inoue, Etsuko Mita and Sareee. Finally, the latter won
the match, with Saree pinning Matsumoto.
In the second match, former yokozuna sumo
champion Akebono overpowered his opponent Sushi with multiple diving body
press. In the third match, a tag team of The Great Kabuki and Hiro Saito faced
off against Genichiro Tenryu and Osamu Nishimura. Saito eventualy won the
battle by pinning Nishimura.
To
finish off the wrestling match, The Great Sasuke, Tiger Mask I and Super Tiger
formed a team to take on Rui Hiugaji, Jiro Kesennuma and Rasse. As the
wrestlers entered the ring, Dr.Handa sang the theme song from the popular Tiger
Mask anime.
The
match ended with Tiger Mask I holding Hiugaji upside down and driving his head
into the mat, a wrestling move known as “tombstone piledriver,” before put him
in a hold.
