WRESTLE-1: WRESTLE-1 Grand Prix 2005 - Second Round

Overview

Event promoted by Keiji Mutoh with help from All Japan, K-1, and Pride. Wrestle-1 was a strange idea by Mutoh (the All Japan booker) and was promoted by FEG. This event has Kamala, Abdullah the Butcher, and Dory Funk Jr in the opening match. Then you have a handful of MMA fighters, the return of the retired Don Frye, three freelancers in Japan (Bob Sapp, Suzuki, and Sasaki), the leaders of NOAH and All Japan (Misawa and Mutoh/Muta) and some of the biggest names from NOAH and All Japan (Akiyama and Jamal/Akebono/Team 3-D).
