Jumbo Tsuruta is considered one of the best wrestlers in the world and at this time is the Triple Crown champion. He is considered All Japan's number one native star after Giant Baba took himself out of the main events. Here he takes on Genichiro Tenryu. Tenryu would be known later on as Mr. Puroresu, but here he is All Japan's number two native star. These two met in April earlier in 1989 and Tsuruta kept the title after a hard fought match. Now they meet at the hallowed grounds of the Nippon Budokan. Can Tenryu win the title or will Tsuruta still reign supreme? Perhaps the best Triple Crown title match until the Misawa era would begin the following year.
