Finkel: And introducing number 2! Representing New Japan Professional Wrestling, Keichii Yamada!

Yamada rushed down to the ring, soaring through the ropes! The fans were in love with Yamada as he flipped into the ring! The bell was ready to ring as Yamada and Hennig studied each other. The bell rang!

**Number 1: Curt Hennig**

**Number 2: Keichii Yamada**

Yamada rushed at Hennig to start the match, but "Mr. Perfect" managed to grab the wrist of Yamada. Hennig took Yamada to the corner, where he began to strike at New Japan's Resident Thunder. Hennig lifted Yamada up via his feet and attempted to throw Yamada out of the ring. Yamada landed on the apron though, before hitting a enzuigiri kick to reverse some offense. Yamada soared over the top rope, landing on Hennig with a nice crossbody splash.

Yamada rolled to his feet and awaited for Hennig to get up. Yamada ran at Hennig, hitting a nice neckbreaker. The fans really enjoyed Yamada, due to his natural charisma and high-flying offense. Yamada floated up his feet, waiting for Hennig to get up. As Hennig rose to his feet, Yamada went for a Discus Forearm! Hennig ducked out of the way though, and caught Yamada with a boot to the gut on the Rebound! Hennig stopped to taunt for the crowd a bit, showing off. Hennig then picked up Yamada and pulled him onto his shoulders. Hennig hooked the head in his grasp, and came down with a big time slam! Yamada was laid out as Hennig pulled Keichii to his feet.

Hennig threw Yamada at the ropes, awaiting Yamada to come back. Yamada would grab the ropes though, halting his momentum. Hennig rushed over to attack Yamada, who hit a fast Heel Kick. Hennig stumbled backwards as Yamada used the ropes to hit a springboard dropkick! The fans were electric as we prepared for #3.

**Finkel:** Introducing #3, the WWF Light Heavyweight Champion ... Fishman!

The premier Luchador of the WWF was out next to a silent reaction. Fishman entered the ring and tried to go after Yamada. Yamada would duck 2 clothesline attempts before landing a sickening enzuigiri kick. Fishman stumbled to the ropes where he was met with an Axehandle from Hennig. Fishman was on the floor now as Yamada went after Hennig. Hennig dodged a leaping clothesline, but wasn't able to avoid Yamada's Second Rope Clothesline. Fishman got to his feet, prompting Yamada to nail him with a dropkick. Fishman went over the top rope and landed on the apron.

Yamada waited for Fishman to recollect himself before he bounced on the bottom rope. Using one foot to step on the middle rope, Yamada gave himself enough momentum to bounce into the air and dropkick Fishman straight off the apron for our first elimination. Yamada then turned his attention back to Hennig, who was getting up to his feet. Yamada ran at Hennig and went for a bulldog, but Hennig managed to catch Yamada mid-air. With nowhere to go, Yamada took a nice back suplex as both men were on the mat.

Hennig stirred up to his feet as we awaited #4.

{Immigrant Song}

**Finkel:** Introducing at #4, Bruiser Brody!

Despite being a heel, the love the fans had for Brody was unmeasurable. Brody hit the ring and went after Hennig. Hitting a huge Sidewalk Slam, Brody then went after Yamada. Brody caught Yamada with a huge Atomic Drop. Brody then began to stomp on Hennig, pushing his boot on the throat of Mr. Perfect. Brody let his foot off of Hennig only when Yamada began to fire at him, in which he responded with a Big Boot.

Brody picked up Yamada and attempted to throw him out of the ring. Yamada landed on the ropes though, before bouncing back in with a Crossbody. This took Brody down as Yamada rolled to his feet, only to be met with a Hennig-Way Breeze from Hennig. Hennig then hit Brody with a big clothesline as he got up. Hennig stood over his fallen opponents as we awaited Number 5.

**Finkel:** Introducing at Number 5, Danny Davis!

A referee from ringside suddenly slipped into the ring. Davis began to taunt at Hennig, prompting Hennig to hit him with a ruthless Perfect Plex. Hennig pulled Davis to his feet as Yamada began to stir up. The two looked at eachother with a shared intent, as Yamada ran at and hit Davis with an Elevated DDT. Davis was knocked out as Brody got to his feet. Brody would toss Yamada into the corner while hitting Hennig with a uranage. And finally, Brody looked at Davis. Brody picked up Davis and locked in a Bear Hug! Davis began to fade as Brody would hit the Strangulation Drop onto Davis, eliminating the Corrupt Referee.

Brody, Hennig, and Yamada all stared at each other as we went back to action. Yamada would hit Brody with an assisted (curt hennig) Bicycle Kick! Yamada then followed that up with a Desusupurasshu (Standing Frog Splash) onto Brody. Hennig would attack Yamada after the splash though, landing a nice standing uppercut. Yamada landed on the turnbuckles, as Hennig rushed at him. Yamada would get his knees up though before scaling the top rope. Not wanting any more damage, Hennig would strike Yamada as he perched, Hennig would climb to the second rope as he hooked Yamada's arm and leg up. And as the crowd rose to their feet, Yamada rose in the air as Hennig hit a Middle Rope Perfect Plex!

Yamada was basically out of it as Hennig laid on the floor. And Number 6 Was Next.
