I dont know what year this was or what they heck they are saying (I need to learn japanese if I keep posting these) but this is probably the rarest of Dick the Bruiser footage. Bruiser in Japan 1975 facing fellow legend Giant Baba.
Now Bruiser wasnt a big traveler to Japan so the crowd doesnt have much reaction to him and they sit in studied silence watching this match unfold.
We get to see a Bruiser probably unfamiliar to most Bruiser fans, the heel wrestler facing a tremendous fan favorite in Baba and the japanese crowd arent sure what to make of our Bruiser.
Now Bruiser had to make a small fortune to do this because Baba usually didnt do the the blade jobs and this match both men brought the blood and he gave Baba a pinfall victory over him which was a rarity. Notice at the end of the match that Bruiser's "second" in the ring was a young Bob Orton Jr. and Bruiser almost clobbers Lord James Blears who is in the ring to present Baba with his title belt.
At the end of Part 2 there is a brief clip of Bruiser facing Harley Race for the NWA Heavyweight Title.
