In late 1995, it was announced that two of the hottest professional wrestling companies in the world, New Japan and UWF International, would begin an interpromotional series. From that point on, and for much of 1996, the two promotions waged an epic war that is still talked about today. It was perhaps the most successful interpromotional feud of all time, having sold out many buildings, including the Tokyo Dome three times. It was also one of New Japan's greatest victories, as it is almost unanimously agreed that New Japan convincingly won the feud, so much so that UWF-I collapsed at the end of 1996. Here is a record of the series, covering many of the matches that took place. This list now has every result from the feud, but some finishes and match times are missing.
