Tarzan Goto missed yesterday’s Showa Puroresu show, meaning the “New Japan vs. All Japan” tag match became “New Japan vs. All Japan & New Japan” as Liger stepped in. The heavyweight legends won a sweeping “double victory” as Chono pinned Liger after a Shining Yakuza kick just as Fuchi ate a Riki lariat and then suffered in a Scorpion Deathlock.
