Excellent vid, great memories :). Bloody Greg Dyke axed it, he chickened out of a meeting with Giant Haystacks about the situation, Haystacks would have clobbered him. Anyway Dyke got his comeuppance when the BEEB axed him, LOL.
This isn't actually from World of Sport: it's from after World of Sport had been axed and wrestling was a standalone show (1985-88).
These titles were slightly tweaked for use on the Wrestling Channel/Fight Network. The original version would have the venue and match line-up for that week's show.
The Nagasaki challenges were just for the local audience and had nothing to do with WWF.
I know at one point Kendo Nagasaki was issuing challenges to Hogan, and I assume he eventually answered and they had a match. Not positive on that though.
I never heard of that match, it would've been great to see though. Infact, it could still happen, although it wouldn't be as good as it would have been 20-25 years ago of course.

I love how much they used ragtime style music during the late 70s to the early 80s

Becuase from 1987 onwards, they would sometimes have WWF Specials in place of World Of Sport.
