• Dynamite Kid announces his retirement on the last night of the AJPW Real World Tag League.
• Hulk Hogan beats Genichiro Tenryu on a wacky SWS show at the Tokyo Dome.
• Mascara Año 2000 takes Anibal's mask in a memorable match at Arena Mexico.
• Gordon Scozzari's AWF runs its first shows, including a TV taping in Lowell, MA with some crazy stuff going on, including cameos from DR. MIKE LANO!!!

• New booker Eddie Gilbert lays down the law in the GWF.
