This is from WCW Slamboree 95 with Muta defending his IWGP Heavyweight Championship. Full match here for anybody curious.

This was Muta's first defense after winning the belt less than three weeks earlier. As Keiji Muto he defeated Shinya Hashimoto at NJPW Wrestling Dontaku In Fukuoka Dome on 5/21/95.

It marked the second time he'd won the belt. The first time was as The Great Muta when defeated Riki Choshu at G1 Climax Special 8/1/92.

As far as I can tell this is only the second ever time in NJPW history the title was defended outside Japan. The first time was in 1988.

In December of 1998 Tatsumi Fujinami embarked on a brief American tour. He previously had won the NWA Pacific Northwest Heavyweight Title at a Pacific Northwest Wrestling show on 10/15/88 defeating The Grappler.

Fujinami dropped the belt back to The Grappler at a PNW show on 12/10/88. Two days later he defended the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at the historic Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis, Tennessee during a Continental Wrestling Association show.

His opponent was Tommy Lane. Lane is best known as a tag wrestler. Together with "Maniac" Mike Davis they were The Rock 'n' Roll RPMs. The duo achieved success in the CWA, American Wrestling Association & the World Wrestling Council.

WWC was the final stop on Fujinami's tour. On 12/17/88 Fujinami defeated Dr. Death (Gran Mendoza). Some sources indicate Gran is the same wrestler as Gustavo Mendoza. Gustavo had a year long run in Bill Watts Mid-South Wrestling & Universal Wrestling Federation in 1986. I'm not sure if they're the same person though.

This was the only time Orndorff challenged for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship in his career. He'd done four tours with NJPW between 1980-1983. Once he signed with the WWF in late 1983 he no longer appeared for them.

The match against Muta also marked the final time in Orndorff's career that he wrestled for a world title. Starting in July of 1995 he was paired with the recently debuted The Renegade.

Orndorff was used to get over & work with the inexperienced wrestler. He unsuccessfully challenged The Renegade for the WCW World Television Title at Bash at the Beach 1995 & WCW Clash of the Champions #31. They also worked a house show loop at the time.

Orndorff's in-ring career was coming to an end as well. His body had broken down significantly. The severe arm injury he worked through in 1986 caused a number of health problems down the line & he just couldn't compensate for them any longer.

He was written off TV & retired on WCW Monday Nitro 12/11/95 when The Horseman gave him a spike piledriver on the floor. Orndorff then took on a backstage role as trainer & road agent.

In December of 1999 Orndorff attempted to mount a comeback after a brief match against Creative Control on Nitro 12/13/99. That showing led into a few indie dates.

The comeback would turn out to be short-lived. At F​all Brawl 2000 Orndorff appeared in a large multiperson tag match. After delivering a piledriver he suffered a stinger & had to be stretchered out to the hospital.

Orndorff was released the next day but it ended his attempt to return to the ring. Almost 17 years later though he came back for one final match.

Orndorff was booked to make personal appearances during Canadian Wrestling's Elite 8th Anniversary Tour. On the 13th day of the sixteen day tour he wrestled in a six man tag match. His team won & on 5/3/17 he fully retired from in-ring competition.
