  • • 80s Joshi on Wednesday: Jaguar! Masami!
    Volume 32. Devil Masami vs. Jaguar Yokota 1/26/82 K: This is the first time on the set we get to see the company top babyface vs. top heel in a singles match. So much has changed since we last saw these two against each other wrestling for the Junior Title. Jaguar's the World Champion here, but this match is non-title (world title defences are rare and saved for big shows).At the start Devil ...2026
  • • 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! 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! Mimi! Rimi! Kai! Kumano! Ikeshita!
    Disc 2 3. Jackie Sato, Mimi Hagiwara & Rimi Yokota vs. Leilani Kai, Mami Kumano & Yumi Ikeshita 1/4/81K: AJW traditionally do a good Korakuen show on or around January 4th where you’re almost guaranteed to get a quality main event even if they’re not almost the most consequential. This match is such a good example of what these shows were going for. Here we have probably the top 3 babyfaces i...2026
  • • 80s Joshi on Wednesday: Guam! Ayumi! Rimi! Richter! Ikeshita!
    Disc 1 12. Fun in GuamMD: Everyone sings. For Jackie and Mimi, that makes sense, but they keep going down the roster with each being more of a surprise than the last. I’m not sure exactly when this was shown, but when they show Masami as a surprise, they call her Devil, which is the first time I’ve heard that so far. Nancy and Lucy (the tag champs) totally fumble their song to high comedy. Th...2025

  • • 80s Joshi on Wednesday: Yokota! Mimi!
    Disc 1 11. Mimi Hagiwara vs. Rimi Yokota - 8/80K: Before I go into the match, I’ll fill in a bit of missing context. 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

    Disc 18. Lucy Kayama & Tomi Aoyama vs. Mami Kumano & Yumi Ikeshita - 4/4/80K: Firstly, I want to give a little shout out to an old poster called Xalazi. Many years ago, I remember him posting on Reddit that this was one of his favourite Joshi matches. This would have been around the time I decided I was going to make this set. That comment prompted me to decide that I'm gonna include any match I s...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

    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

    68. 1979.10.17 - 03 Joyce Grable, Leilani Kai & Mami Kumano vs. Lucy Kayama, Rimi Yokota & Victoria Fujimi (2/3 Falls, first part of match corrupted)K: There's a chunk of this match missing as the tape got screwed up and when the picture comes back we're in the middle of a heated 1st fall. Shame because this looks like the best match we've seen in a while. The heels have Lucy Kayama isolated in th...2025

    55. 1979.09.21 - 02 Mami Kumano & Yumi Ikeshita vs. Nancy Kumi & Victoria Fujimi (WWWA Tag Team Titles) (2/3 Falls)K: The introductions are pretty reserved considering what happens the moment the bell rings: Mami Kumano apron neck-swings both her opponents within the first minute while Yumi Ikeshita keeps the other at bay. From here Black Pair really dominate too things, probably a bit too much re...2025

    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

    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

    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

    "The version of Black Pair Westerners are more familiar with is Yumi Ikeshita and Mami Kumano, Kumano having replaced Aso when she retired in 1978*, but the Ikeshita & Aso pairing is still well remembered in Japan and is the version of Black Pair who Beauty Pair battle in their feature film “Red-Hot Youth."

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

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 ...2024

    Disc 19. Lucy Kayama vs. Mami Kumano - 5/80K: The Lucy Kayama vs. Yumi Ikeshita match that we covered a few weeks ago was always going to make the set, I think this is a good companion piece. Mami Kumano is the less technically impressive than her Black partner, but she has a feral raging energy of her own that she works into her matches well. It's also rare that we see her in a singles match, so ...2025

It was always being considered, but I'd made myself a rule to keep each volume to under 4 hours and this ended up being cut because it doesn't really link up with the res...2025

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...2024
