Steve Williams is off the show because he is back in the hospital due to complications from his throat cancer. IWA Japan boss Asano is going to hand out a basket to ask for fans to donate money to raise funds to help pay for Williams' hospital bills.

Interesting line-up.

Man, I love that card. I'm not sure why because I hated most of those dudes when I used to watch US wrestling but it just looks awesome to see 'em all on one show 5-10 years later.

Who is Bruiser Kong? And who is Sexy Manager? Dare I hope for Sensational Sherri Martel? And why would a sexy manager be paired with Jim Duggan anyway? So many questions...

[RogerDeaton]

Not sure who Bruiser Kong is, but seems some rip-off on Brody's name. Unsure who Conga the Barbarian is too. But you got Sasaki vs. Leatherface. And Big Bossman vs. Freddy. Good stuff. Sexy manager could be any Indy bimbo.

[TOM]

Conga the Barbarian would have to be Konga the Barbarian, right? The Barbarian from the Powers of Pain? IWA has to get Warlord in there for a reunion, now that would be sweet.

Jim Duggan + Sexy Manager = does not compute.

I'd like to pre-nominate Freddy Krueger vs. Big Bossman as a MOTYC.

[RogerDeaton]

Lot of short matches, though understandable. Still wouldn't mind seeing a tape. Guess stuck belt of Duggan since Williams can't wrestle anymore. At least Duggan has something to make some decent money.
