Wrestling Summit

The WWF, AJPW & NJPW run a supershow in Japan in the wake of WrestleMania VI

The Wrestling Summit was joint venture in collaboration with WWF, AJPW, & NJPW, a live event that took place on April 13, 1990 at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan. The event was the only time the three promotions produced a joint show, although NJPW and WWF had previously worked together in the 1970s and '80s. Highlights from the show aired on Japanese television, but due to various ownership issues the full event has never been shown in its entirety. The main event featured Hulk Hogan taking on Stan “The Lariat” Hansen in a singles match.
