• 70s Joshi on Wednesday: Victoria! Day!
47. 1979.08.XX3 - 02 Cheryl Day vs. Victoria FujimiK: Cheryl Day starts this match with a strange leaning back a few inches more than you’d expect pose like she’s about to start doing the limbo. Whatever this tactic is it doesn’t work as Victoria takes over the match pretty quickly with one of her typical flurries of screaming offense, only to get over-zealous on one of her flying crossbodies and ...2025
• 70s Joshi on Wednesday: Mimi! Victoria! Day! Masami!
45. 1979.08.XX2 - 02 Cheryl Day & Tenjin Masami vs. Mimi Hagiwara & Victoria FujimiK: This has a crazy start where Victoria Fujimi just recklessly launches herself through the air only to splat herself on the match. Well that set the scene for a wild match. Strangely though, she tags out for Mimi Hagiwara soon afterwards and then barely does anything for the first half of it, and this is a very lo...2025
• 70s Joshi on Wednesday: Jackie! Seiko! Kumano! Ikeshita!
43. 1979.08.XX1 - 03 Jackie Sato & Seiko Hanawa vs. Mami Kumano & Yumi IkeshitaK: There’s an annoying clip very early on which makes it hard to assess the opening portion of the match. We get the standard-fare feisty babyface Seiko launching right into the attack, then later Black Pair have taken control and we didn’t really see how. But their section mauling Jackie Sato especially is pretty good....2024

39. 1979.07.31 - 02 Lucy Kayama & Tomi Aoyama vs. Mami Kumano & Yumi Ikeshita (WWWA Tag Team Titles) (2/3 Falls)K: This to me is the first match in the canon of the Joshi Classics. It’d probably be the weakest of the collection strictly in terms of quality, there’s still a few stylistic creases that they’d yet to iron out, but it’s definitely great and it hits a specific tragic emotional resonance...2024

34. 1979.06.XX - Jackie Sato, Lucy Kayama & Tomi Aoyama vs. Mami Kumano, Monster Ripper & Yumi IkeshitaK: They made pretty clear at the beginning that this is a prelude match to the double main event on 7/31, but even if they’re naturally not going to go all out here I still think they delivered a pretty good match here. The first fall wasn’t much, both teams brawls around the place without much o...2024

• 70s Joshi on Wednesday: Kumano! Ikeshita!
33. 1979.05.XX3 - Mami Kumano vs. Yumi IkeshitaK: This is a spiritually satisfying match. A trope of more recent times that I both dislike and don’t really understand is when heels are pitted against each other in round robin tournaments, you expect them to not take the match seriously enough. Well, I’m sure the idea is to get themselves heat by not giving the fans a good show. They’ll just dawdle...2024

27. 1979.04.XX1 - 01 Ayumi Hori vs. Hiroko KomineK: Ayumi Hori is part of the class of 1978 but didn’t debut until the end of the year as she suffered an injury during training, so she’s really a lot less experienced than her classmates at this point. She’s also probably the tallest wrestler in AJW’s history, billed at 180cm. I can tell Hiroko Komine was leading this at some points, she moves...2024
• 70s Joshi on Wednesday: Ripper! Fujimi! Tsumaki!
17. 1979.01.XX2 - 05 Masumi Tsumaki & Victoria Fujimi vs. Monster RipperK: I believe Masumi Tsumaki is Victoria Fujimi’s sister. There’s not much information about her. She’s better known as a masked wrestler called ‘Silver Satan’ who tagged with Mariko Akagi as Silver Pair. They both retired together later in 1979.We get a bit of stalling to start this off including Yumi Ikeshita punching the ref...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

MD: Most weeks we'll try to hit one full match but here, to start off, we have a few due to clipping.1. 1975.03.19 - Jumbo Miyamoto vs. Mach Fumiake (WWWA Singles Title) (Clipped)K: This is a historically important match that we only have due to the Samurai TV show ‘AJW Classics’ airing a portion of it in 2003. 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

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

4. 1978.06.XX - Chabela Romero/Mami Kumano vs. Jackie Sato/Maki Ueda (2/3 Falls, Date Approximate guess based on when Romero was in Japan)MD: It’s amazing how much they fit into thirteen minutes over two falls here. It’s not even that it’s a sprint. I wouldn’t call it that. It’s just so dense. It’s not even back and forth. There are momentum shifts. It’s just that whatever team that is on offense ...2024

They had some acclaimed matches with Queen Angels (Lucy Kayama & Tomi Aoyama) earlier in 1978, you can see about 3 and a half minutes of one of them in this vide...2024

Kadaveri: For as long as I can remember I've always been interested in roots and beginnings. I've always been interested in history in general, right now there's a book on the Korean War sitting on my desk that I'm reading in between my wrestling fandom, but the closer to the start of something is where my interest peaks. It seems like that's the moment where a thing's true essence is formed, and ...2024
