WCW/New Japan Supershow I
WCW/New Japan Supershow I, (known as Starrcade in Tokyo Dome in Japan) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event that took place on March 21, 1991, in the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan. It was co-promoted by New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), who hosted the event, and the US-Based World Championship Wrestling (WCW), which supplied a number of the wrestlers on the show. The event was the inaugural WCW/New Japan Supershow. The show also aired on tape delay TV Asahi in Japan the same day along with airing on pay-per-view in April 1991.
The event was viewed by 64,500 people live in attendance in Japan and later shown in America on a PPV in April, 1991. Several of the matches on the show were not included in the PPV broadcast, held for the benefit of the crowd in attendance only.
The event featured eleven professional wrestling matches and two pre-show matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
The opening bout was an eight-man tag team match pitting Animal Hamaguchi, Kantaro Hoshino, Kengo Kimura, and Osamu Kido against Hiro Saito, Norio Honaga, Super Strong Machine, and Tatsutoshi Goto. The team of Hamaguchi, Hoshino, Kimura, and Kido won the match. This was a dark match that did not air on the pay-per-view broadcast.
The second bout was a six-man tag team match pitting Brian Pillman, Tim Horner, and Tom Zenk of WCW against Kuniaki Kobayashi, Shiro Koshinaka, and Takayuki Iizuka of NJPW. The match ended when Koshinaka pinned Horner following a dragon suplex.
The third bout was a singles match between The Equalizer and Scott Norton. The match was won by Norton. This was a dark match that did not air on the pay-per-view broadcast.
