1994 New Japan Pro-Wrestling event
Wrestling Dontaku 1994 was the second Wrestling Dontaku professional wrestling event produced by New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). The event was held on May 1, 1994, in Fukuoka, Fukuoka, at the Fukuoka Dome. The event featured thirteen matches; three of which were contested for championships.[1]
Much like the previous year, the event featured wrestlers from World Championship Wrestling (WCW), with Rick Rude defeating Sting for the WCW International World Heavyweight Championship.[1] This would turn out to be Rude's final wrestling match as he suffered a back injury during the match which ended his career. As a result, the decision was later reversed due to Rude cheating to win the match.[2] The semi-main event saw Shinya Hashimoto defeat Tatsumi Fujinami to win the IWGP Heavyweight Championship for the second time.[1] In the main event, Antonio Inoki defeated The Great Muta.
