Odd Tag Team

Here is a match from Japan (shocking) that had 2 teams that seemed to be just put together because they all happened to be in Japan at the same time. The heel team was Sgt Slaughter and Bobby Duncam while the face team was Dusty Rhodes and Bob Backlund. While all 4 men had men in single matches, with Backlund defending his WWF Heavyweight title against Slaughter and Duncam at different times and Rhodes had met them in singles and tag team action, this was the first time I think Rhodes and Backlund were a team. The true highlight was Slaughter and Duncam having to come to the ring to "Over The Rainbow", must have been a little joke by promoter Antonio Inoki.
I believe this is from the mid 80s.
