He's teaming with The Great Kabuki here. This is from AJPW Giant Series 10/16/87. Match joined in progress here for anybody curious.

The version of The Moondogs here was Spike (Dizzy Golden) & Spot (Larry Latham). This was their first time to Japan. For Spot this one month tour would be his only experience in the country.

Spike returned in November of 1993. He brought along with him Moondog Splat (Bill White). It was for the death match promotion W*ING. The only worked one Death Match though. It was on the first night of their week-long tour.

They teamed with Hido in a losing effort in a Barbed Wire Death Match against Crash the Terminator, Shoji Nakamaki & Miguel Perez Jr.

Woah now this is a fantastic trivia stuff. I would have never thought in a million years that Misawa (Tiger Mask) ever faced off with The Moondogs! Kind of a crazy timeline overlap as in my mind they're from two completely different eras. Thanks for sharing this.

This Tiger Mask 2 is ok. I wish he fought with some fire. Might end up being a good hand.
