WWF World Heavyweight Championship Match in Japan: Ichiban Hulk Hogan vs Tatsumi Fujinami [Videos]




In June 1985, fresh off the success of WrestleMania, Hulk Hogan traveled to Japan to defend the WWF Championship against Tatsumi Fujinami, who was already regarded as one of Japan's greatest technical wrestlers. The result is a rare look at Hogan working a more deliberate, technical style against one of the world's finest competitors. It's a unique glimpse at two Hall of Fame careers intersecting during professional wrestling's golden era.

WWF Classic: Bret Hart vs Mr. Perfect - June 1989 [Videos]





By 1989, the WWF roster was overflowing with larger-than-life superstars, but beneath the spotlight, a new generation of technical wrestlers was beginning to emerge. Among the brightest were Bret "Hitman" Hart and Mr. Perfect, two competitors whose precision, athleticism, and attention to detail set them apart from the powerhouses dominating the era.

Bret Hart has often said that one of his best matches of his career took place against Mr. Perfect during a non-televised bout at the Sullivan Arena in Anchorage, Alaska on August 12, 1989. While that legendary match has yet to surface, their June 3, 1989, encounter at the Boston Garden offers a fascinating glimpse of what it may have looked like. With Hart and Perfect already displaying remarkable chemistry, it's easy to understand why Bret considered Mr. Perfect one of his greatest in-ring opponents.
