  • • 80s Joshi on Wednesday: Mimi! Nancy!
    Disc 2   10. Mimi Hagiwara vs. Nancy Kumi 8/81K: 1981 after Jackie Sato drops the belt is the period of AJW where it's most difficult to date anything precisely. The company is at a relative lowpoint in popularity, and for whatever reason I've struggled to find many sources referencing it so have had to just depend on what's on the footage itself, which for some reason is even more ...2026

  • • 80s Joshi on Wednesday: Masami! Tomoko!
    Disc 2  8. Devil Masami vs. Tomoko Kitamura (AJW Title Decision Match) 5/9/81K: Tomoko Kitamura, in case you didn’t know, would later adopt the ringname Lioness Asuka. That her name is actually Tomoko is never really hidden from fans from what I can tell. In later years you can clearly hear wrestlers calling her by this name in on-set skits and stuff that aired on AJW TV regularly. ...2026

  • • 80s Joshi on Wednesday: Rimi! Masami!
    Disc 16. Tenjin Masami & Rimi Yokota Interviews - 4/4/80MD: Big takeaways here are that Masami’s family didn’t want her to get into wrestling so that was inspiring her to become a champion to show them that she could be one and the interviewer making Yokota stop her jump roping and being super patronizing before getting Jackie’s opinion on things. This made it seem like Jackie was her mentor in a ...2025

  • • 70s Joshi on Wednesday: Finale
    CLOSING THOUGHTSK: I’m coming at this from a very different place to Matt in that I’d seen maybe 60% of these matches before starting this, but I’d written very little nor did I have many organised thoughts about 1970s Joshi. I mostly saw it as an interesting precursor to my prime interest, the 80s & 90s Joshi boom periods. Have my views changed? No. Not in any significant way at least. But I do f...2025

  • • 70s Joshi on Wednesday: Lucy! Tomi! Queen Angels Explode!
    77. 1979.12.11 - 02 Lucy Kayama vs. Tomi Aoyama (All Pacific Title)K: Lucy Kayama challenges her tag partner in Queen Angels for the All Pacific belt. I guess we got the Black Pair members fighting each other to fit a theme for this show.Really strong lock up to start. Followed up with Tomi leaping onto the ropes looking for some kind of boomerang move but Lucy avoided it, but Tomi follows up with...2025
  • • 70s Joshi on Wednesday: Kai! Ikeshita! Nancy! Victoria!
    61. 1979.09.2X2 - 04 Leilani Kai & Yumi Ikeshita vs. Nancy Kumi & Victoria Fujimi (After 9/21, possibly October)K: This has a heated energy to it that’s been missing in the earlier matches on the show. Things explode almost from the off when things go to the outside and Golden Pair get the better of the heels on the outside with some classic throwing wrestlers into chairs action. When things get b...2025

    37. 1979.07.XX - 03 Mami Kumano & Monster Ripper vs. Nancy Kumi & Tomi Aoyama (2/3 Falls)MD: Almost 40 matches in, I’m wondering if we haven’t questioned the fact that there are so many makeshift teams enough. Obviously the footage is only a small percentage of the matches that were taking place, especially if you believe the numbers they mention on commentary about how many matches wrestlers ...2024
  • • Queen of Villains - Truth & Fiction
    by @kadavri on TwitterI originally wrote this as a Twitter thread after having just finished the Dump Matsumoto ‘Queen of Villains’ Netflix series. The thread got way more interest than I’d expected! So I’ll try to tidy it up for the blog post.This isn’t me reviewing the show. This is for anyone’s who’s watched it (this article will be full of spoilers!) and wants to see the real-life matches it's...2024
  • • 70's Joshi on Wednesday: Kayama! Yokota!
    7. 1978.09.XX - 01 Lucy Kayama vs. Rimi Yokota (Probably September)MD: Believe it or not, we’re still in Hawaii. This was definitely a thing. Yokota is a couple more months experienced at this point and she shows quite a bit of confidence and intensity. Kayama has a height advantage, but Yokota deals with that by ambushing her from behind at the bell. After tearing her apart a bit, Yokota started ...2024

Jumbo Miyamoto is the current champion, she is a cousin of the Matsunaga Brothers (the ...2024

    10. 1979.01.04 - Jackie Sato & Maki Ueda vs. Mami Kumano & Monster RipperK: This is the last match Beauty Pair ever had a tag team. It is also the debut of Monster Ripper, aka Rhonda Sing or Bertha Faye in her unfortunate WWF gimmick. Rhonda grew up in Calgary and was a big fan of Stampede Wrestling growing up. She had contacted Stampede about being trained but was turned down (the Harts didn’t tr...2024

Timeline

  • 2026
    "The famous clapping and screaming young female fans of this era usually aren’t that hot for anyone not the Beauty Pair, but they get pretty loud of Kitamura here, and a few of them look physically distraught when she loses in a questionable three count."

  • 2025
    "Well they were trying to get Jackie Sato over as a solo pop star after Beauty Pair ended, but it comes across a bit like a personality cult."

  • 2024
    "Beauty Pair and Crush Gals are two history making (and changing) tag teams that formed what we define today as modern joshi."

  • 2023
    "There is no denying The Beauty Pair of Jackie Sato and Maki Ueda is a Hall of Fame-worthy team."

    32. 1979.05.XX2 - Jackie Sato vs. Yumi IkeshitaK: The legal-illegal moves ratio from Yumi Ikeshita here is off the chart. It's like she wrestles dirty as a matter of principle, even if a legal move would have done. There was probably more dirty moves in this one match from her than there's been on Raw this year. It's not just that that she's breaking rules though, there's a real malicious savagery...2024

The opening half is played very straight, revolving around her and Tomi grappling for holds. Tomi is more aggressive, but also comes across a bit more frantic in her temperament whe...2024

A much bigger deal of them is made in Joshi compared to other wrestling scenes. Part of this is that after its first boom in popularity with Beauty Pair, AJW set up a unique system of accepting new wrestlers with a two-stage proces...2024

The levels of spectacle are so much higher than anything else we’ve covered before, in fact I’m not sure the big 80s shows ever got as extravagant as this just in terms of the presentation. It certainly does get you in the mood to watch something moment...2024
