Horst Hoffman & Billy Robinson vs Terry & Dory Funk Jr. 12/6/77

This tag classic was from All Japan during the annual Real World Tag League. By this time Dory Jr. and Terry were mainstays for Baba's promotion and attained considerable fan fare for an America tandem. The great Billy Robinson is seen during his peak.

Horst Hoffman primarily competed on the European circuit. While it's easy for him to slip under the radar due to the lack of preserved footage and little mainstream American/Japanese exposure his work is well worth looking into. Hoffman was a technical marvel and his matwork, timing and ring psychology were at an elite level.  I'd peg him easily among the top legit 'shooters' of the time frame.
