In the "That Happened?" thread, something was brought up about Hogan with his original title in Japan against Inoki. For about a year and a half - from January 1984 through the summer of 1985 - WWF worked with New Japan to help bolster both companies, leading to some shows that seem very odd or unique from today's hindsight standpoint. These shows were, for the most part, New Japan shows, with 2-3 matches featuring WWF guys sprinkled in. Please forgive the length of this results list (and all results are courtesy of http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com) - my notes in italics when needed
NJPW @ Nagoya, Japan - January 27, 1984

WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan & Iron Mike Sharpe fought Antonio Inoki & Tatsumi Fujinami to a double count-out
---The Cobra was George Takano, who WWF brought over Stateside to help build the Jr. Heavyweight division. Hogan teaming with Sharpe against Inoki and Fujinami looks really odd now, but prior to his becoming the resident WWF punching bag, Sharpe was a top-level guy most places he went and was highly regarded.
