Welcome to my joshi matchlists....ah, joshi, I don't have enough of it.  But this is what I got, so enjoy.  I'm sorry if there's not as much commentary as I'd like, but I just don't have the time to comment on every match.

AJW Big Egg Wrestling Universe  (10 hrs 40 mins)
**Note--- This is one of the top wrestling shows of all time with even the worst match being great.
**Note 2----- Also notice that Parts 2&3 end a few minutes shorter than the masters due to a bad dubbing mistake, not my fault. However all matches are complete and intact and the sudden stop doesn't hamper the video unless you are EXTREMELY picky about that kinda thing. ***
 

Part 1

Chaparita Asari/Bomber Hikaru (GAEA) vs. Hiromi Yagi/Hiromi Sugo (JWP)
Tsunokake X   vs.  Great Little Muta/Buta Genjin   Midget Handicap Match    (IT'S MIDGET MADNESS!!!!  Comic relief match, but still surprisingly good)
Candy Okutsu (JWP)  vs. Rie Tamada    AJW Junior Title    ***1/4
Suzuka Minami   vs.   KAORU (GAEA)    ***1/2     (again, killer match with a great combonation of style mixed together to produce a terrific match)
Kumiko Maekawa vs. Sugar Miyuki         Kickboxing
Kyoko Hamaguchi vs. Doris Blind       Amateur Shoot Match
Miyu Yamamoto vs. Anna Gomez        Amateur Shoot Match

Part 2

Kaoru Ito vs. Fumiko Ishimoto      Shootboxing Match
Reggie Bennett vs. Chigusa Nagayo (GAEA)  (your basic brawl...you find out why during Bennett's after match interview)
Toshiyo Yamada/Tomoko Watanabe  vs.  Shinobu Kandori/Mikiko Futagami (LLPW)    ***3/4   (Stiff match. Yamada and Kandori really seem to hate one another which adds so much to this match.)
Etsuko Mita/Mima Shimoda   vs.  Yasha Kurenai/Michiko Nagashima (LLPW)    ***1/2      UWA Joshi Tag Title Match
Jaguar Yokota/Bison Kimura  vs.  Lioness Asuka/Yumi Ogura       Legend's Fight     ****

Part 3

Blizzard Yuki (Sakie Hasegawa masked)  vs.  Mariko Yoshida    ***1/2    (This is Hasegawa's debut as Blizzard Yuki)
Yumiko Hotta vs. Combat Toyota (FMW)    ****3/4     V*Top 1st Round    (A stiff match to say the least as Hottas kicks are just insane. The way they worked this match is great as it looks like both ladies have a serious problem with one another. Toyota, better known for her FMW style "garbage" wrestling, puts on a very good match which shocked me. The lead up to the finish is very "All Japanish" and is thrilling)
Akira Hokuto vs.  Eagle Sawai  (LLPW)       ***1/2       V*Top 1st Round
Manami Toyota vs. Aja Kong     ****3/4        V*Top 1st Round   (I don't think these two ever had a match that was less that ****1/2)
Kyoko Inoue vs. Dynamite Kansai     ****1/2     V*Top 1st Round
Takako Inoue/Cuty Suzuki  (JWP)   vs.    Megumi Kudo (FMW)/Hikari Fukoaka (JWP)      ***1/4

Part 4

The Great Sasuke/SATO (Dick Togo)/Shiryu (Kaz Hayashi)   vs. Super Delfin/Jinsei Shinzaki/Gran Naniwa  ****1/4  (this is just another classic M-Pro six man...well, it's not M-Pro, but it's in the same style that M-Pro was churning out like made from 96-98)
Akira Hokuto vs. Combat Toyota (FMW) ***1/4    V*Top 2nd Round     (Another strong showing for Toyota, though not as good as her first. Hokuto has the fans behind her big time.)
Aja Kong vs. Dynamite Kansai (JWP)     ****3/4      V*Top 2nd Round   (extremely stiff)
Alundra Blayze (Madusa)  vs.   Bull Nakano   WWF Women's Title     (just in case anybody is interested, these two work the exact same match, move for move, on the Wham Bam Bodyslam tape.....watch it and take a look.  The only difference is the last two minutes, since this match is in Japan so naturally Bull goes over)
Akira Hokuto vs. Aja Kong    ***1/4     V*Top Finals   (Very emotional match and a great end to a fantastic show)
 
 

AJW Kamikiri Death Match  11/7/1986  (1 hr.)

***note-- this show was about the retirement of two of the biggest stars ever in AJW, Yukari Omori, and by far AJWs biggest heel, Dump Matsumoto.  With Dump and her crew playing opposite the Crush Gals, AJW reached an all new height of success in the 80s during the "school-girl" era.***

AJW Slant Eyed Slaughter     (1 hr.)
***note-- this is not a show, but just a commercial tape put out by AJW in 1988.  You can check out my tape review of this by clicking here.***

Devil Masami/Wendy Richter  vs.  ????/????  (ok, here's the deal with the ???s....the usual big sites claim that the other team is Jumbo Hori/Yukari Omori.....however, Hori is in the 3rd match, and it CANNOT be the same person.  I also know what Omori looks like and that other chick DOES NOT look like her.  I believe the one girl to be Tomi Ooyama.  I still havent figured out who the other might be.  I explained this in my tape review, but thought I should point it out here.  If I end up being wrong, and all the big sites are correct, then apologize....but it would mean I have to be going blind.  Those two simply CANNOT be Jumbo and Omori!)
Nancy Kumi  vs.  Lucy Kayama
Monster Ripper/Devil Masami  vs.  Mimi Hagiwara/Jumbo Hori    Best 2/3 Falls Match
Jaguar Yokuta  vs.  Tarantula   (the magnitude of this dumbfuck ending cannot be put into words...check out the review to see what happened at the end)
Lioness Asuka  vs.  Chigusa Nagayo   WWWA Championship Match  (good match, but they could have done better)

AJW  Mid Summer Typhoon 1992  (2 hrs.)

PART 2
**note-- Part 1 is good, but Part 2 is what makes this an AWESOME tapes.  All of these matches rock the fuckin house**

Toshiyo Yamada vs. Takako Inoue vs. Reggie Bennett     All Pacific Women's Title Triangular Match    ****1/4 (interesting format as this is really a series of singles matches taking place one after the other....honestly, I couldn't really figure out how the hell they decided who the winner would be, probably some weird rule that I didnt know about cause I don't speak Japanese)
Yumiko Hotta vs. Lioness Asuka      UFC Fight Rules     ****3/4   (Ouch.  This match is brutal in every way possible, and one of my personal favorite matches ever.  Think of the shoot-fight type match that Ohtani and Mochizuki had at Super J 95, multiple by 1000, and you have this match)
Bull Nakano   vs.   Kyoko Inoue       WWF Women's Title    ****1/2  (another great match....I love Bull Nakano)
Aja Kong   vs.    Manami Toyota      WWWA Singles Title *****   (I've never seen one wrestler take such a shit kicking as Toyota did here......they both pull out some absolutely incredible shit.  If you want to talk Japanese women's wrestling this is one of the first matches you'd have to discuss, just awesome)
 
 
 

AJW WWWA Champ. "Queen's Holy Night"  8/30/1995 (3 hrs.)

Rie Tamada/Yoshiko Tamura/Yumi Fukawa  vs.  Chaparita ASARI/Misae Watanabe/Yuka Shiina
Kaoru Ito/Mariko Yoshida  vs.  Tomoko Watanabe/Kumiko Maekawa   ***1/2
Yumiko Hotta/Toshiyo Yamada/Etsuko Mita  vs.  Jaguar Yokota/Bison Kimura/Reggie Bennett   (I think Reggie is probably the only female wrestler from North America that can not only hold their own with the Japanese women, but actually carry the match....and for how big she is, she is fast)
Lioness Asuka  vs.   Bull Nakano
Mima Shimoda  vs.  Akira Hokuto
Aja Kong   vs.   Dynamite Kansai         WWWA Singles Title  *****    (Now THIS is brutal)
Kyoko Inoue/Takako Inoue   vs.   Manami Toyota/Sakie Hasegawa     WWWA Tag Titles   2/3 Falls  *****

Kaoru/Toshiyo Yamada vs.  Kumiko Maekawa/Momoe Nakanishi
Manami Toyota  vs.  Yumiko Hotta
Mima Shimoda/Etsuko Mita vs.  Kaoru Ito/Tomoko Watanabe     *****  Cage Match  (fuck Michaels/UT Hell in the Cell....THIS match beat that one's ass every which way possible.  Michaels bump to the table, you say?  Fuck it....how about a double stomp onto a prone opponent FROM THE TOP OF THE FUCKING CAGE...now that's taking a bump.  This match had the bumps, the story, the give and take of offense, everything)
 
 
 

JWP Thunder Queen Battle  Pt. 2   7/23/1993

Yumiko Hotta  vs.  Plum Mariko
Aja Kong/Kyoko Inoue/Takako Inoue/Sakie Hasegawa  vs.   Dynamite Kansai/Mayumi Ozaki/Cuty Suzuki/Hikari Fukuoka  *****   (this is a Most Falls in 60 minutes match with unique rules....the first twenty minutes is four singles matches of 5 minutes each.  After the 20 minute mark, everybody gets on the apron for an 8 woman tag match.  Most falls in 60 minutes takes it.  Awesome AWESOME fuckin match)

GAEA  G-Panic   June 2001   "Ring on the Beat"

Mayumi Ozaki/KAORU  vs.  Lioness Asuka/Sakura Hirota     from 6/17/01   (if you couldn't tell from the highlight package to kick off the show, well....KAORU and Lioness hate each other.  Hirota takes an absolute shitkicking the entire match as Asuka gets handcuffed to first the post, gets free for some offense, then gets handcuffed to the railing.  Hirota kicks out of a whole bunch of shit before several powerbombs put her away.  Awesome effort from Hirota, but too weird to rate)
Sonoko Kato  vs.  Meiko Satomura    from 5/12/96    Rookie Tournament Final  (a flashback to the match, pretty good match for two rookies at the time...this is an idea the WWF should use more.  You know, when you don't have good enough shit for RAW, just say "lets take a flashback to "insert date here" and watch This Guy and That Guy in a classic match.  WWF has all these archives and aren't using them for jack)
Aja Kong  vs.  Toshie Uematsu   from 6/3/01
Toshiyo Yamada  vs.  Saika Takeuchi
Meiko Satomura/Chikayo Nagashima/Toshie Uematsu  vs.  Aja Kong/Toshiyo Yamada/Dynamite Kansai   ***1/2
