Post match: Some of the dojo wrestlers came into the ring and got manhandled by the Road Warriors, including one getting the Doomsday Device. Finally Mutoh and Chono return with chairs and after a brief showdown, the Road Warriors leave the ring.

Match Thoughts: First, I am not really sure why the Road Warriors were on this tour. They had already signed and started with the WWF at the time, all I can think is that they already were committed to this tour before signing with the WWF in June, kinda the "honoring prior engagements" theory since WWF didn't have a "deal" with New Japan at the time. So this is a pretty special match since the Road Warriors didn't have a lot of matches between their WCW and WWF runs in the early 90s. Anyway, partially due to that they were in a tight spot as Vince doesn't like his wrestlers losing, but there was no reason to have Mutoh and Chono lose to two wrestlers that weren't coming back anytime soon. It is a shame this match was so short, I absolutely love mid-80s to early-90s Road Warriors, they are one of my favorite tag teams ever. They do the power offense so well and they always seem unbeatable. Mutoh did his best to out-maneuver his bigger foes, and it was working which is why Hawk had to use the chair to get DQed. It was too short to really fall in love with and it had a lame (but understandable) ending for such a major match, but I still enjoyed the action while it lasted. Score: 6.5
