Set the way back machine to May 1993, and Hulk Hogan showing up on New Japan
TV to promote his match with Keiji Muto - carrying the WWF World Title belt,
calling it worthless and saying the only true wrestling title is the IWGP
belt.

It's one thing for your champion to be on and off while he makes a movie,
but it's another to have him wrestling for another company - especially when
the Japanese show is promoted by PRIDE, who have US PPV contacts - and may
end up getting pinned by Shinya Hashimoto.
