This is for the PWF United States Championship. Now, why Japan had a U.S. Title is beyond me but this belt essentially existed as a title for the Destroyer during the 70s. The Destroyer was probably the top Gaijin wrestler until Stan Hansen really started taking off in the 80s.
This match is a tale of two ends of the spectrum. The Destroyer is well regarded and considered to be a great worker by those that have seen him wrestle a lot. Mil Mascaras on the other hand is no well regarded by fans or his peers. Mascaras is considered to be selfish in the ring and just not very good in general.
This is a rare good Mil Mascaras match. The Destroyer really brings out the best qualities in him and Mascaras seems willing to put in his best efforts. I think The Destroyer is probably the best opponent that Mil Mascaras ever had. They have a continued rivalry throughout the mid 70s in All Japan and the matches are usually enjoyable.
