  • • 80s Joshi on Wednesday: Kumano! Ito! Jaguar! Noriyo!
    Disc 2 11. Hiroe Ito & Mami Kumano vs. Jaguar Yokota & Noriyo Tateno 8/81K: Black Pair and Jumping Bomb Angels are Joshi tag teams from totally different eras, so the biggest novelty of this match is that their careers overlapped just enough to see one of each team against each other. By 'just enough' I mean this is Noriyo Tateno's TV debut and, from the footage we have available, the last in...2026
  • • 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: Jackie! Rimi!
    Disc 2 7. Jackie Sato vs. Rimi Yokota (WWWA Singles Title) 2/25/81K: These two wrestled each other in the tournament for the vacated title just two months before this (and covered earlier) but this match feels very different to that one. The pace is a lot slower (not that I’d call it ‘slow’, but comparatively) and plays out more as a straight wrestling contest. We do get a bit of heeling from...2026

  • • 80s Joshi on Wednesday: Mimi! Ikeshita!
    Disc 2 6. Mimi Hagiwara vs. Yumi Ikeshita (All Pacific Title) 2/25/81This was a major show, it's hard to know for sure but I'd guess it was the biggest AJW show of 1981. They have some retired stars providing guest commentary. Also on this show was Chino Sato's retirement ceremony and the team of Ayumi Hori & Nancy Kumi defeating Devil Masami & Mami Kumano to win the vacated WWWA Tag Team Tit...2026
  • • 80s Joshi on Wednesday: Jackie! Rimi! Nancy! Ayumi!
    Disc 2 4. Ayumi Hori & Nancy Kumi vs. Jackie Sato & Rimi Yokota 1/6/81K: This match is Red Phoenix vs. Dynamic Jaguars, i.e. the two babyface factions going up against each other. I noticed at the entrances that Ayumi Hori is now being billed as ‘Super Jumbo Ayumi Hori’, she’ll get her name changed to Jumbo Hori soon after this.This is worked a very fast pace, certainly unlike most wrestling ...2026

    ROH TV 1/22/26Adam Priest/Tommy Billington vs Premier Athletes (Tony Nese/Ariya Daivari) MD: Wrestling isn't math.Sometimes, though, it can be a book report.Everyone rushes to make things quantitative, to bestow star ratings, to rate things next to each other. I care a lot more about understanding, about categorizing, about yeah, analyzing. That's not about scoring on points having to do...2026
  • • 80s Joshi on Wednesday: Jackie! Masami!
    Disc 1 15. Devil Masami vs. Jackie Sato - 11/27/80 Our first look at Devil Masami after she got her more famous name. I think the name change happened at the 8/8/80, as that's when they reset a lot of things, but I'm not sure. I'm inevitably going to focus on her in this write up as this is the first match in her career where she feels like a great wrestler in the making, as well as this...2026
  • • 80s Joshi on Wednesday: Jackie! Ripper!
    5a. Jackie Sato vs. Monster Ripper (WWWA Singles Title) - 3/15/80K: This is another match I left off the proper set after giving it some thought. It's certainly a big match. But it's a big match AJW didn't plan on having until a few weeks before, it was supposed to be Jackie Sato vs. Tomi Aoyama, but Tomi was injured and had to pull out. So rather than Jackie facing the heir apparent, she's back f...2025

    Disc 14. Tomi Aoyama & Jackie Sato Interviews - 2/21/805. Lucy Kayama vs. Yumi Ikeshita (All Pacific Title) - 2/21/80K: Before we get to the match, we have an announcement from Commissioner Ueda that Tomi Aoyama will have to vacate the All Pacific title and cancel her title challenge against Jackie Sato due to an injured knee. This is all real, but they make the most of it for TV purposes by getti...2025

  • • 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...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: 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...2025
  • • 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 ...2025

    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

  • 2025
    "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."

    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

    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 ...2025

    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 ...2025

    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...2025
  • • 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...2025

    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

This match is such a good example of what these shows were going for. Here we have probably the top 3 babyfaces i...2026

Nancy Kumi vs. Yumi Ikeshita (WWWA Singles Title Tournament 1st Round) - 11/5/80K: The most striking thing here is that Yumi Ikeshita starts this match with some MMA style gloves and starts throwing punches. The announcer is calling “body blow, body blow!” as she corners Nancy Kumi and pummels her in the gut. Nancy reacts to it like something illegal is happening, turning to the re...2025

Shortly before this match we’re covering was the biggest AJW show of 1980, which was on 8/8/80 at the Denen Coliseum. The claimed attendance was 10,000 fans, almost certainly exaggerated, but it gives you an idea. The main event was Jackie Sato vs. Monster Ripper for the WWWA S...2025
