Japan's Super World of Sports (SWS) previously held Wrestle Dream in Kobe on April 1, 1991. The promotion was funded by Megane Super (an eyeglasses manufacturer) and poached Genichiro Tenryu from All Japan Pro-Wrestling to be their top star.
SWS had a working relationship with Vince McMahon's WWE which saw Wrestle Dream in Kobe feature the likes of Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, John Tenta, and Bret Hart alongside Tenryu, Masakatsu Funaki, and Minoru Suzuki.
SWS would fold in 1992.
