Bob Backlund vs Hulk Hogan (NJPW 5/30/1980)
This is probably better than their April and May WWF matches as it introduces more Japan-style physical struggle. Hogan looks like the coolest thing to have hit wrestling in a while at this point with a great look and these Backlund matches seem to elevate him as credible. Backlund almost gets counted out twice near the end. Stan Hansen interferes to end the match by disqualification.
