• 80s Joshi on Wednesday: Jackie! Tomi!
Disc 13. Jackie Sato vs. Tomi Aoyama - 1/4/80K: This is probably the biggest match the company could put on at the time. Company Ace vs. Heir Apparent, World Champion vs. All-Pacific Champion. It’s non-title and had a 30 minute time limit (title matches would have 60) so they’re telegraphing a bit that this isn’t THE match between the two, but it’s still a pretty big deal to see these two in a sin...2025See also Tomi Aoyama rumors

• 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...2025See more articles Black Pair rumors

• 70s Joshi on Wednesday: Jackie! Nancy!
78. 1979.12.11 - 03 Jackie Sato vs. Nancy Kumi (Only 9 Minutes of 30 shown)K: They only show about 9 minutes of a 30 minute long match here so this will be a brief post. I did think it was interesting that they actually acknowledged the cuts by putting what minute of the match we’d skipped forward to in the corner. I don’t remember ever seeing that in any other match AJW match. They’re more famous...2025

• 70s Joshi on Wednesday: Jackie! Lucy! Kumano! Masami!
75. 1979.11.XX2 - 03 Jackie Sato & Lucy Kayama vs. Mami Kumano & Tenjin MasamiK: This is a fairly throwaway formula match with good wrestlers in it. The most significant thing I'll point out is that Tenjin Masami gets a good showing, she's in the ring about as much as Mami Kumano but I don't think she ever looks like she's significantly less developed even if she doesn't have any signature moves y...2025Visit the page Lucy Kayama breaking news today

• 70s Joshi on Wednesday: Jackie! Lucy! Ikeshita! Gomez!
72. 1979.11.XX1 - 03 Jackie Sato & Lucy Kayama vs. Norma Gomez & Yumi Ikeshita (2/3 Falls)We start in the middle of the 1st fall. I found it a little hard to get into being dropped into it with Jackie getting double teamed by the Ikeshita and her Mexican ally, lots of choking for several minutes, and when Lucy got tagged in she just got more of the same. Then, in a blink and you’ll miss it transit...2025Click for news about Lucy Kayama rumors

• 70s Joshi on Wednesday: Tomi! Kumano!
71. 1979.11.XX1 - 02 Mami Kumano vs. Tomi AoyamaK: They do something pretty effective right at the start here which sets the tone that tempers are gonna flare for this one. Before the bell starts, they both square up looking like they want to bite each others head off, and then Mami quickly snatches at Tomi’s hair, and the crowd does an audible ‘wooah’. Spices things up nicely.This then plays out ...2025Visit the page Mami Kumano news

69. 1979.10.17 - 04 Jackie Sato vs. Vicki Williams K: This is the final match of the Japan vs. USA series. I hadn’t noticed before but they seem to have got a pretty good crowd for this show, you can see there are fans in the upper sections and this is before they started being careful to only show one side of the venue on camera for poorly attended TV tapings. It starts with Jackie Sato comi...2025Read about Chigusa Nagayo injury update

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 ...2024Visit the page Mami Kumano injury

• 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...2024Check it out Dump Matsumoto injuries

• 70s Joshi on Wednesday: Nancy! Victoria! Kumano! Ripper!
30. 1979.05.XX1 - 01 Mami Kumano & Monster Ripper vs. Nancy Kumi & Victoria FujimiK: This was a very similar kind of match to one we covered last week and the main purpose was clearly building up Monster Ripper for her title match against Jackie Sato on 7/31. To avoid repeating myself I’ll just focus on the different aspects. Firstly this was two falls but the two falls played out very diffe...2024See also Mami Kumano injuries

• 70s Joshi on Wednesday: Jackie! Lucy! Ripper! Ikeshita!
29. 1979.04.XX2 - Jackie Sato & Lucy Kayama vs. Monster Ripper & Yumi IkeshitaK: This feels like a match that didn’t have much thought put into it. Just stick two of the top babyfaces vs. two of the top heels in a tag match and have it end on a double count-out because the company is saving the decisive finishes involving these wrestlers for a better occasion. It’s still an enjoyable match though....2024Continue with Lucy Kayama availability report

• 70's Joshi on Wednesday: Miyamoto! Fumiake! Ueda! Sato! Aso! Ikeshita!
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 ...2024Visit the page Maki Ueda injuries

• 70s Joshi on Wednesday: Enter Monster Ripper! Kumano! Beauty Pair!
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...2024See also Beauty Pair
Timeline

"I had expected this to be a bit more competitive, not for any real reason tbh, but I should have remembered Monster’s the WWWA Singles Champion now and has a title match with Jackie Sato to build, so there’s not much to be gained in heating either of these two up against her." - 2024
"From the ‘70s to the ‘80s, female pro-wrestling tag teams like “Beauty Pair” (Jackie Sato and Maki Ueda) and “Crush Gals” (Chigusa Nagayo and Lioness Asuka) became national icons." - 2023
"There is no denying The Beauty Pair of Jackie Sato and Maki Ueda is a Hall of Fame-worthy team."

67. 1979.10.17 - 02 Fabulous Moolah vs. Nancy Kumi (NWA Women's Title)K: This is a big match for Nancy Kumi. Even if the NWA Women’s Title wasn’t as established in Japan as the Men’s equivalent, I have to assume the prestige of the organisation would make it being defended here feel like a big deal. Nancy did have a couple of tag title reigns before this (with Jackie Sato, and later with Victoria ...2025See also Fabulous Moolah contract

65. 1979.10.XX - 04 Jackie Sato & Tomi Aoyama vs. Mami Kumano & Vicki Williams (2/3 Falls)K: It’s good to see Jackie again. It hits me right at the start that she has an aura which draws me into her matches, even the way she stalls still feels like she’s just getting you to brace yourself for what’s about to happen next. She’s a very cool wrestler. I noticed as well how Vicki Williams took such a ...2025Check it out Tomi Aoyama trade rumors

• Found Footage Friday: PIRATA~! MS-1~! JAGUAR~! DEVIL~! FUJINAMI~! KOSHINAKA~! CHOSHU~! SAITO~!
Devil Masami vs. Jaguar Yokota AJW 9/7/83Kadaveri: I think the context of this match finally surfacing needs a bit of explanation for those who aren't 80s Joshi nerds. Jaguar Yokota and Devil Masami were the top two stars of AJW in the 1981-84 period in between Jackie Sato retiring and the Crush Gals becoming megastars. This WWWA Singles Title match was the main event to one of the biggest shows o...2025Click for news about Dump Matsumoto contract

• 70s Joshi on Wednesday: Jackie! Ripper!
51. 1979.09.13 - 02 Jackie Sato vs. Monster Ripper (WWWA Singles Title)K: Part of the appeal of pro-wrestling is getting to watch heroes in action. It stirs up some deep primal feel with us, this mix of admiration for the person we’re watching and just the raw emotion of the events taking place. The best babyfaces are able to pull their audiences into that primal state, have them feel a chill go d...2025Visit the page Greco Roman contract

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...2024See also Yumi Ikeshita salary

31. 1979.05.XX1 - 02 Jackie Sato vs. Tomi AoyamaK: This one feels like a stylistic shift as we move on from the Beauty Pair era, with Jackie in particular portraying herself as a more serious straight-shooter wrestler. 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...2024See more Beauty Pair contract rumors

20. 1979.01.XX3 - 02 Jackie Sato vs. Monster RipperK: Big match up. It’s non-title as Jackie will be defending her title vs Maki Ueda at the big show on 2/27/79 but it’s still probably the biggest singles match we’ve covered so far that wasn’t clipped up. We get the very slightest of shines at the start where Jackie ducks under Monster’s legs and goes to take the back. It’s enough to establish to ...2024Click for news about Maki Ueda salary

24. 1979.03.XX1 - 01 Lucy Kayama vs. Monster RipperK: This was essentially a squash match, but you don’t get much more effective than this. I’m not sure how much this is due to them making some subtle improvements to Monster Ripper’s formula, Lucy putting in more effort, or the crowd being hotter than usual. Well actually it’s probably a combination of all three. I did particularly enjoy Lucy gett...2024See more articles Lucy Kayama stats

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...2024Check it out Maki Ueda scores

Jackie’s team really should have the clear advantage with her having Queen Angels as her partners and Yumi just has two rookies, but that’s not how the match goes.
