1) Dr. Wagner © b Goro Tanaka [NWA LH]
Goro Tanaka (Goro Tsurumi) would claim he won this match and the belt was taken away from him minutes later because he was overweight, submitting a photo of himself backstage with the belt as proof. The story endured in Japan, but was a fabrication - magazines at the time reported Wagner successfully defended the title.
