Japan 7.26.1989
Nippon Television (owners of All Japan Pro Wrestling) had declared July 'Bruiser BrodyMonth' and was airing 90 minutes of Brody's best matches every Monday night for the month. A Bruiser Brody Memorial Night was held on 7/16/89 with a card including Zenk and Brunzell in a match against The Fantastics (Tommy Rogersand Bobby Fulton).
Stan Hansen was booked to help fill the spot left by Brody. The Fantastics were making their Japan debut. The Malenko brothers (Joe and Dean) had a "brother versus brother" angle - with Joe winning the PWF World Junior title to set up a match against Dean in Sapporo. Tom Zenk had been teamed with Jim Brunzell while Zenk's 1987 partner, Marc Laurinidas (aka 'The Terminator') was tagged with the remaining US wrestler "The Destroyer" Dick Beyer - see Tom Zenk in Japan
During the tour Zenk,
Hansen and Laurinidas worked out at the Tsurumi Gym. Some Japanese fans
were there with a fancam as the wrestlers went through some basic exercises.......
the result is a brief (24 minute) workout tape ......
