>At the memorial event for the late Antonio Inoki (age 79) "INOKI BOM-BA-YE x Ganryujima in Ryogoku " Katsuyori Shibata (43) of NJPW Fighting spirit inheritance. In the main event he clashes with former UFC fighter Tom Laura (USA) under UWF rules, under the rule that there is no 3-count fall in the lost point system.
>Shibata jumped on the rope, but after that it was a classical back fight. After catching the opponent's arm, he performed a key lock just like Inoki-san. Furthermore, he controlled the leg fight and entered a scorpion-locking position, but this was returned and he decided to knee-cross. Shibata escaped to the ropes and was robbed of the opening point.
>Laura, who had the upper hand on the sticky ground, was captured with an armlock and was robbed of the lost point again. Shibata counterattacked with a drop kick from the knuckle to the corner. However, a yellow card was issued due to the rule that an attack to the head is a foul. At this point, Roller hit him with a dynamicbuster and knocked him down.
>Furthermore, the rope escape was robbed at the ankle joint, and now the lost point is "4". Shibata caught a knee kick and got a death valley bomb. At this point, he was swastika-solidified from 'Demonic Sleeper'. Even if he fell to the ground, he tightened it up without letting go and took a tap with Mr. Inoki's special move.
>12 minutes and 30 seconds, a big come-from-behind win with a grand swastika.
>Shibata grabbed the microphone screamed, "Thank you!" "Today, Antonio Inoki called me here. About six years ago, I almost died in this country. But I was able to come back like this. If you have energy, you can do anything. That's right. I think that's it! Chairman, thank you for your hard work!"
