If only Koji Kitao had used his prime bit of 1991 patter for this dull dud against a dead Demolition rather than saving it for a shoot against Earthquake later in the year.
Part of an ongoing relationship between WWE and Japan outfit Super World of Sports, this match was a quiet addition to the card and received accordingly by a disinterested audience.
Kitao was involved in an ugly scrap with the future Natural Disaster just days after this - he elected to stop working and start shooting midway through their April 1st clash in Kobe - but at least that only went sour because sh*t got real. This boring bout only served as a painful reminder that Demolition (particularly this version of it) too had nothing further to contribute to a product they'd previously been a big part of.
