Stan Hansen vs Antonio Anoki - 6/5/80

The match starts off with deafening chants for Inoki.  They really don't like this big redneck Stan Hansen, but I'm sure they love him really, but just like rooting against him to fire him up even more.  We're barely even 2 minutes into the match and Stan Hansen has already thrown a front kick towards the referee.  The atmosphere is well and truly electric and we have Stan Hansen kicking the authority.

This match is only 10 minutes long and they certainly make the most of it.  It's an all out slugfest and extremely physical.  And Stan Hansen gives the referee some beating - the main one is unintentional but Hansen doesn't care because he's Stan fuckin' Hansen.  The match descends into chaos and Inoki wins by DQ as Hogan appears to carry Inoki while Hansen leads the way with a bull rope tied round Inoki's neck.  Assistance soon arrives for Inoki and a brawl breaks out with Inoki on top at the end.

Fun, chaotic and Hogan with a full head of hair.
