Some of the great feuds I can think of:

New Japan:
Inoki vs. Hansen
Inoki vs. Tiger Jeet Singh
New Japan vs. Revolution Army vs. IWE
Fujinami vs. Choshu
Tiger Mask vs. Dynamite Kid

All Japan:
The Funks vs. Abdullah the Butcher & The Sheik
The Funks vs. Stan Hansen & Bruiser Brody
Tsuruta vs. Brody
Tsuruta vs. Tenryu
Tenryu vs. Choshu

Also, New Japan vs. UWF in 1986.

Revolution Army was Ishin Gundan right?

by **Hisaharu Tanabe** » 2003/02/18 Tue 3:49 pm

Revolution Army = Kakumeigun was formed in Jan., '83 with Masa Saito (leader), Riki Choshu, Killer Khan, and Kuniaki Kobayashi

It became Ishin Gundan in the summer of '84 with additional members: Animal Hamaguchi, Isamu Teranishi, Yoshiaki Yatsu, Tiger Toguchi, and Hiro Matsuda (replacing Masa just for a tour as an "advisor"). By this time, of course, Hamaguchi and Teranishi had split with Rusher Kimura, who later joined the original UWF.

I'm pretty new to Showa, but I love the HansenTsuruta matches, and even the common WWE mark is aware of how great Tiger MaskDynamite Kid was.

I know this is borderline Showa but Jumbo vs. Misawa is my all-time favorite feud.

by **Hisaharu Tanabe** » 2003/03/01 Sat 12:00 pm

Nah... it represents the new era of All Japan. It was AFTER 1990 and shouldn't be considered as a Showa feud.

I agree with Fiasco Tiger Mask/Dynamite Kid was the greatest rivalvry in Showa Puroresu, the junoir heavyweights rule!

Now, now, I never said it was the GREATEST...it was one of the best though. I liked HansenTsuruta and New JapanUWF more though...

I'll defer to your judgement Hisa, but I think Misawa and Jumbo had their first match on 3/9/88 when Misawa was still under the mask. I kind of look at that feud as the transition between the 80s and the 90s for All Japan.

funks v.s sheik/abdullah

funks v.s brody/hansen

and of course......dynamite kid v.s tiger mask....thats like one of THE feuds of the 1980s.....

by **Momaster** » 2003/03/17 Mon 12:05 pm

Hansen vs Tsuruta and Hansen vs Inoki were two feuds that I remember quite fondly

by **Tradewynd** » 2003/04/01 Tue 3:25 pm

While I think Tiger Mask/Dynamite Kid was one of the greatest feuds of all time, from the matches I've been able to track down I really like the Funks/Hansen-Brody feud. I've only seen a few matches between the two, but man, they were great. I also really liked Vader/Inoki right after Vader debuted in New Japan.

does any one know where genchiro tenryu is today and possibly how to contact him or find pictures of him fro the late 70s to early 80s

by **Peru-Yakuza** » 2003/04/19 Sat 10:12 pm

Dude where have you been, Tenryu came back to All-Japan three years ago. To contact him, you'd have to learn Japanese and write to All-Japan's web, <a href='http://www.oudou.co.jp' target='_blank'>www.oudou.co.jp</a>. 70's - 80's stuff, I know of a good web, <a href='http://www.wrestling-high.com/tenryu' target='_blank'>www.wrestling-high.com/tenryu</a>, but it's also in Japanese and it has pictures of his moves mostly during 80's and 90's matches.
