Part four of my look back at shoots in pro wrestling includes Lou Thesz running afoul of another Japanese star, John Tenta collides with Koji Kitao, Dr. Death breaking noses, Trevor Berbick trying to hang with Takada, Fit Finlay tussling with fans, and as an added bonus I'll touch on a pair of UFC fights that were "faked" and more!

The first and only ever shoot tournament in WWF history is reviewed as Dan Severn, Dr Death Steve Williams, Steve Blackman and many others throw down for a huge cash prize. Also covered is why UFC champion Ken Shamrock avoided the tournament and what made Dan Severn drop out in the middle of the tournament. The many injuries and other factoids are covered along the way.
