Francoise vs Ayako Sato

The last wrestling match I posted here was Ayako Sato and Misaki Ohata.
Well this one is Ayako again, but this time against a blog favorite, Francoise (Huransowazu).

Francoise Hirota has worked for Osaka Pro, LLPW Ladies Legend Pro Wrestling and she also worked for the Japanese wrestling promotion HUSTLE as the valet of the late Lance Cade.
I believe this is her actual wrestling debut on January 5th, 2007 for LLPW.

First up we have an interview with Francoise showing her working out and yes setting up the ring and cleaning.
You dont just go into Japanese wrestling and say "I wanna be a star".
There are dues to pay.

So finally at about 2:30 we get to her actual match against Ayako.
She looks a bit nervous, but who can blame her?

Francoise recovers from that pretty quickly and immediately opens up with a running drop kick.
She tags Ayako a few more times with dropkick and goes for a quick pin which Ayako breaks up with the ropes.

Now Ayako opens up with her own series of dropkicks, followed up with some bone-jarring snapmares which Francoise sells pretty good for a rookie.

Ayako then traps Francoise in a rear headlock, and adding a bodyscissors, shows the rookie that she's not gonna be getting any mercy.

Francoise gets to the ropes and Ayako releases her which leads to some more back and forth till Ayako finally traps her in a boston crab.

Sadly, embedding is disabled on this match, but you can go to YouTube and watch it here:

Japanese Female Wrestling - Ladies of Hustle part 6 - Yinling

I said I could probably do a whole entry on just Yinling by herself and it's true.
And I doubt very seriously that I could cover everything here, but let's go.

Yingling was born on February 15, 1978 in Taipei, Taiwan.
Before joining the Japanese wrestling promotion Hustle, she was a swimsuit model and race queen.
She joined Hustle as Yinling, then became Newling-sama (Mistress Newling), then went back to being a heel after being shot by a laser beam by The Esperanza (a wrestling cyborg) during a wrestling match.
Did you think the Undertaker's lightning bolts were a stretch?

And then Yinling gave birth to 6'8, 500 pound sumo wrestler Monster Bono.
Oh yeah, he was hatched from an egg.
Remember what I said about the WWE on acid?

Yinling left Hustle and when she retired, her final match was against her "son" Monster Bono, who crushed her with a big splash.
Yeah, it killed her.
Not really though.

So here are some of Yinling's various incarnations in Hustle.....

Japanese Female Wrestling - Ladies of Hustle part 5

And continuing on with the ladies of the Japanese wrestling promotion Hustle.....



Erica
Remember what I said earlier about what they did to Awesome (Amazing) Kong?
Well look at what they did to her friend and mentor Aja Kong.
They used her real name Erica, but they basically changed everything else.
She and Margaret held the HUSTLE Super Tag Team Championship at one time.
That is until they were beaten by Team 3D (yes, Brother Ray and Brother Devon, who probably fit right in at Hustle. I wonder if they did their old ECW gimmick there?)
The match they were in was a three way tag team, and the other team was Mark Jindrak and Matt Morgan.
Geez.....



Jaguar Y
And here is another Joshi legend that wrestled in Hustle, Jaguar Yokota.
Underneath the cute kitty make up is a woman that is considered one of the greatest female wrestlers of all time.
She wrestled as a heel for the Monster faction.



Suzuki Hiroko
Here is another lady you might recognize from the WWE.
Hiroko used to be on WWE's SmackDown! as the valet for her husband Kenzo Suzuki.
She kept up with that in Hustle, before becoming the General Manager and turning on Kenzo.

Japanese Female Wrestling - Ladies of Hustle part 4

More of the ladies of Hustle.....


Karate Girl (or simply) KG debuted with Hustle in 2008.
She had a feud with her former tag team partner Chie because of a mess up during a tag team match.



Chie was KG's partner and she debuted with Hustle in 2005.
It's said that she has an amateur wrestling background.
Chie retired from wrestling in 2009 to get married.



Francoise is no stranger to this blog. She debuted with Hustle in February of 2009 as the girlfriend of former WWE star Lance Cade.
Francoise may have been brought in to replace the departing Yinling who will probably get a whole entry to herself.

Japanese Female Wrestling: More of the Ladies of Hustle

Luchadora Cynthia Moreno also wrestled for Japanese wrestling promotion Hustle.
Of course Cynthia comes from a big wrestling family including Luchadores Alfonso Moreno (her father) and El Oriental (her brother) and her sisters Luchadoras Esther Moreno, Alda Moreno and Rossy Moreno.



Before retiring, Joshi legend Dump Matsumoto worked for Hustle as well.



I told you Ayako Hamada would show up again, and here she is as heel Dokuron Z (or Dokron Z).
Isn't that La Parka in the background?

Japanese Female Wrestling: Hustle

Pro wrestling in Japan has always been different.
But it doesn't get much different than the Japanese wrestling promotion Hustle.
They used to call the WWE a soap opera with chair shots.
Well imagine the WWE on acid.
You have a pretty good idea of Hustle.

But even as wild as Hustle is, it has had it's share of great wrestlers in their ring.
Some of the female wrestlers are not well known, but some are down right legends.
And some..well you might get a kick seeing what they look(ed) like in Hustle......



Yes, that's legendary Lucha Libre and Joshi star Ayako Hamada as Arisin Z.
This is the first, but not the last time she'll pop up on this list.


And yes another Lucha Libre star, Fabi Apache.
Doesn't look like Hustle remade Fabi much.


Although she's retired now, legendary Japanese female wrestler Devil Masami worked for Hustle under the name Madama Devil.
