Hamada In TNA So Far

Hamada's TNA entrance, complete with Anime like portrait. http://www.tnawrestling.com/

The most popular topic on this blog by far last month was Ayako Hamada, or just "Hamada" as she's now known in TNA.

Hamada made her debut on TNA Impact! on August 27th when she battled another veteran female wrestler Daffney in a No Disqualification match.
Hamada came out on top and she seemed to be pushed as a face.

Then the next week she teamed with Sojo Bolt to go up against Tara and Christy Hemme (considering their old WWE feud, an unusual combination).
Hamada and Bolt lost, and afterwards, Hamada hit Sojo with the Hamada Driver (Sitout scoop slam piledriver) for losing.
So is Hamada a face or a heel?
Or will they pull a Stone Cold and have her as a tween that might give anyone the Hamada Driver if she gets angry?

In case you missed the match, you can see the whole thing on YouTube here:

BTW, note the exchange between Hamada and Tara (my mark out moment) at the beginning that lead to a double kip up and applause from the TNA audience.
Applause during a female wrestling match?
Amazing.

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.....

She is five foot one and weighs 110 pounds.
In 1995, Hiromi defeated Candy Okutsu for the JWP Junior title, but she vacated it a day later because she wasn't happy with the match.
Candy had suffered an injury before the match, and Hiromi felt the victory was hollow.
Then in 1996, she won the vacant title, only to lose it back to Candy.
In 1997, she retired from wrestling to get married, but returned in 1998, teaming with Rie Tamada, to win the Twin Star of ARSION.
They lost the titles in 1999 to Mika Akino and Ayako Hamada.
