Randy and Liz with seperate rooms? They were split by or during 1992 so it must be from around then, looks like it's the "European Rampage Again" tour which there's actually official video of. On a side note there's a bit with Luger and it's the most natural and charismatic he's seemed during that run, he's actually having fun fucking about in Germany with Vince.

Apologies for the Instagram screenshot, but just have a look at this. Beautiful.

Spiros is a truly interesting if forgotten name in wrestling, I think he even ended his career over here in the UK with Joint Promotions.

The wonderful Wrestle Me covered his mad forgotten career and the time he caused a riot in Leicester DeMontford Hall. Lovely.

Speaking of boss men and Japan. Here’s Vince with Giant Baba and Jushin Liger. Presumably these were from around the time of that big joint AJPW/NJPW/WWF show at the Tokyo Dome in 1990.

If you mooch on YouTube you can find a fancam of the Liger match (twas never televised) and you can actually make out the moment this happens. Vince is working the gorilla position which is essentially a baseball dugout.

Found it. It’s a wide camera angle but you can just about make Vince out around 45 seconds in…

I'm surprised we never got a straight up Liger ripoff in the WWF, we had bootleg Mutas and Hayabusas after all.

Famously Konnan (who was doing a tryout) used his traditional people skills to collar Vince McMahon when he saw Max Moon at a taping and say "hey, that's a Liger ripoff right?" and Vince flatly denied ever having heard of or seen Liger, despite that photo above existing.
