Misaki Ohata Wrestling Ayako Sato

Here is a match posted by nagashimark on YouTube, of Misaki Ohata taking on Ayako Sato.
This match was for the Sendai Girls wrestling promotion on April 20th, 2008.


Misaki Ohata has shown up a few times on this blog.
She was trained by the famous Mariko Yoshida and worked for many wrestling promotions in Japan like JDStar.
You can see her now in the US with Shimmer.


Ayako Sato has wrestled for JWP, NEO and if I'm not mistaken, has done some Olympic-style wrestling as well.

After the introductions, we jump right into the match where Ayako has Misaki trapped in a leg lock.

Misaki manages to slip out of that and trap Ayako in a figure four headscissors.

That doesn't last for long though as Ayako slips out of that hold and clamps on a double leg lock.

Which then then transitions into a bow and arrow.

Misaki escapes, but Ayako literally rocks her world with some devastating dropkicks and goes for a pin.
Unfortunately for Ayako, Misaki kicks out, then catches her in an arm bar.

Manami Toyota Wrestling Kyoko Inoue

Here is a match posted by the legendary DoubleMiz, of Manami Toyota taking on Kyoko Inoue from March 31st, 1996.
This is a really high quality video, and it's part 1 of 2.
You know...I know both Manami and Kyoko are highly skilled athletes, but when I saw Manami going to the ring at the beginning of the video, the only thing I could thing was "My God...her hair is beautiful!"

Anyway, both of these women are Joshi legends.

Manami made her pro wrestling debut in 1987...

and Kyoko debuted the next year in 1988.


This match is a sequel to Manami and Kyoko's match in 1995, which won the Wrestling Observer Match of the Year.

And this match takes off like a rocket with a missed dropkick, a giant swing and a kiwi roll all in rapid succession.

Coming up from that, they go into the classic test of strength...

Which leads into Kyoko unleashing an array of submission moves on Manami...







Here is part one of this amazing match...

Ai Fujita wrestling AKINO

Here is some more female wrestling from YouTube.
This was for the ARSION wrestling promotion in Japan and it's Ai Fujita wrestling AKINO for the Sky High of Arsion title on March 24th, 2003.
The video was posted by nagashimark (who else?)


Ai Fujita started out with her pro wrestling debut in Mexico first (in 1998) then her Japanese wrestling debut (in 1999).


AKINO made her pro wrestling debut the same year (1998).


The match starts out fast and furious with Ai gaining a slight upper hand, but AKINO quickly comes back and puts an end to Ai's high-flying antics by grounding her and going to work with some submission moves.







Of course this is just part one of the match.
