• 80s Joshi on Wednesday: Tomi! Lucy! Kumano! Ikeshita!
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

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

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

60. 1979.09.2X2 - 03 Tomi Aoyama vs. Vicki Williams (After 9/21, possibly October)K: Well I agreed way back when we started this over a year ago that I’d do a write-up for every 70s match we had, and I don’t regret it, but boy I’m glad that AJW stopped having Moolah’s girls taking up so much space on the cards pretty soon after this. Who is to blame for this is another article in itself, but the r...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

9. 1978.12.17 - Lucy Kayama/Tomi Aoyama vs. Mami Kumano/Sylvia Hackney (2/3 Falls)K: I’ve mentioned her a couple of times prior to this but this our chronological footage debut on Tomi Aoyama. She was also part of that 1st official class of 1977. She was a spectacular athlete in an era where they hadn’t quite worked out how to incorporate her kind of athleticism into pro-wrestling. She’s like a 19...2024

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

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

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...2024

We had Lucy in the ring for a minute or so and the closest thing she did to displaying any agency was reaching out to tag in Tomi, who then just got beat up by the hee...2024

53. 1979.09.1X - 02 Jackie Sato & Tomi Aoyama vs. Mami Kumano & Yumi Ikeshita (2/3 Falls)K: Jackie Sato & Tomi Aoyama are as big a superteam you can get on the babyface side right now so this is a big match we’re getting here. I popped right at the start when Mami Kumano tried to whip Jackie Sato into the heel corner only for Jackie to use the momentum to boot Yumi Ikeshita off the apron! Mainly c...2025

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. The heels dominate the early goings easily, but...2025

66. 1979.10.17 - 01 Tomi Aoyama vs. Yumi IkeshitaMD: Commentary gave me a bit on this one. First, They say Tomi has the Hawaiian Pacific title and I have no idea when or how that happened (or even what that is). Second, they say this is for 3rd/4th place in the league and count Ikeshita on the US side actually. The finals between Vicki Williams and Jackie would come later. It does give you some se...2025

It looks like someone’s censored them. Thankfully everyone has fairly distinctive outfits so I never mixed anyone up.This is in front of a pretty lively and excitab...2024

This gets very chaotic very quickly. They’re brawling on the outside and a moment I really liked was just the way Jackie smashes Yumi’s head ...2024
