Let's have a thread about oldschool, glory days of Joshi puroresu
So, what's the most insane match they had? Who had the best entrance-gear?
Also, if anyone has this sort of big high quality photos of that era, please post 'em
Fuck off to wew
>>1829300

Takako a cute
>>1829648
from Kudo's last match
>>1829643
He probably should have saved his money though or hardly made anything. It's ridiculous that two top wrestlers don't have enough money saved up to pay for chemo. I heard something about bad investments, so either they're irresponsible financially or it's another case of promoters being shitbags
>>1829657
the goat dropkick
>tumblr
>>1829662
Well they had a promotion that stopped doing shows a couple of years ago so maybe thats the reason? But yeah you're right its ridiculous considering the sasakis are supposed to be this huge celebrities in japan

Haven't watched any newer Joshi. Anyone out there on the level of Bull or Toyota right now?

Io shirai is good.

How's Hokuto health is doing by the way?
I heard Stardom is now leading Joshi promotion and is the only to save Joshi there in Japan.
Why did Joshi had to die so quickly

Last I heard in may she was healthy but in debt because of her treatments and Kensuke was looking to come out of retirement for money
>>1830936
But she's looking healthy though, she's starting to grow her hair back
>>1830961
That's good, real good
>>1829634
He asked her to marry him on their very first date and she said yes and they've been together ever since. It really is a bizarre contrast to how much of a piece of shit he is in the wrestling business (he actually killed someone and got away with it).
>>1831079
You can see her in the link I posted. Can't be fucked to post any pics because the site won't let you save them directly. She has a pixieish cut and has been posting publicly regularly it seems from the dates
>>1829662
Isn't healthcare free in japan?
Why isn't the joshi scene big today compared to the earlier years.
What went wrong?
>>1831186
No. They pay $9.99 every month.
>>1831254
It's not just the joshi promotions that have suffered, i am pretty sure all around the world pro wrestling just isn't as big as it used to be.
>>1831254
Changing pornography laws lessening the demand for softcore, Kong's escort ring being exposed by the press, and AJW lesbian grooming scandal.
>>1830936
>Kensuke was looking to come out of retirement for money
Thats sad. Does kenskay have any friendships left in the scene?
>>1831330
Not after murdering that kid and abusing the other. He's blackballed.
>>1831303
>AJW lesbian grooming scandal
?
For me, Bull is the GOAT. I know some other women were more technically proficient, but I could live vicariously through Bull in that greatest way you can with a bad ass wrestler. She is similar to Brock Lesnar and Stone Cold in that regard.
>>1831254
kayfabe died
>>1831470
And you can go rub one out to her when you're done watching dykes bump like a pinball for her. Pretty cool
>>1829637
tbqh Kudo was not on Manami's level
>>1831493
why wait?
>>1831513
Most people in FMW were not on the level of anyone else in Japan at the same time except for Hayabusa who became a pants shitting vegetable until he died, Mike Awesome the spot gorilla and Masato Tanaka
>>1831645
Based Tanaka is still going strong.
Wish I could find Masato Tanaka vs. Nanae Takahashi. Sounds like it was pretty damn good for a man vs. woman match.
>>1829300
Blacked Nakano
>>1832069
I've always assumed she rode the cock carousel all over NA. Doesn't really bother me.
Let's try watching a full episode of AJW. RAW was terrible tonight. We'll see how this stacks up in comparison.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEE-05SUriU
Just watched Io Shirai vs Meiko Satomura. It's impossible for these two to have a bad match together. I also very much want Shirai to do violent, painful things to me.
Or this episode from a much hotter era of AJW
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwmgmGjteaM
God damn that is a lot of screaming young women.
>>1832105
lol cuck
>>1829850
Io Shirai, probably the female wrestler in the world or at least in the conversation for sure
>>1830278
How did Bull get so cute
>>1832743
She was always cute. Check her in that 1986 show linked above. She's the one one with blue hair following Dump around. Later on she became a complete babe.
>>1832743
Bull was always a qt tee-bee-haitch
>tfw starting to like the dyke joshis because they are actually awesome
>>1832837
Here's a clip of Bull from recent times (and Dump too)
https://youtu.be/VZgMINaGgEA?t=337
>>1832856
She gets up and runs around the ring after that. Nobody really knows how she did it other than opiates were involved.
>>1832837
Did Bull get liposuction on her legs or something
>>1832867
I doubt it but anything is possible with women.

The newspaper Asahi Shimbun had a big expose years back. Young girls came forward stating that sexual favors were expected as part of the training/'mentoring' phase and - unlike the escorting going on - it was explicitly mandatory. Thee newspaper didn't mention who the offenders were, but it's obvious. There was also talk of sexual hazing.

Shit, that's the only joshi match anyone can name.
>>1832993
Your point being?
>>1833651
>anyone can name
all the hype goes to Manami though because she of her snowflakes and longevity. If anything, the only match anyone who knows anything about joshi knows is kong vs toyota in the dome.
>>1833464
So were you supposed to do some little prostitutin' while you were getting trained so you could pay for the training or did they make money for the organization itself? WTF?
>>1833733
Nah. It was like the 'sponsoring' male wrestlers have, but with the option of sex for cash at the end. Basically the girls were taken out by rich clients, treated and then were rewarded big for doing the favors at the end of the night. The company - officially - didn't take a cut and it all went to the girls, but a couple big name players were essentially fixing things and taking a %.
The strangest thing I remember of the expose was the suggestion that even the butch dyke wrestlers were spreading their legs. Kong's thought to have been the ringleading pimp.
>>1833750
can you explain the male 'sponsoring' too?
>>1833757
Rich fans in Japan with connections to the company or organized through a handler pay to take out wrestlers for drinks and meals. The wrestler basically sits there, makes nice with the group/individual, pours the drinks for the night and then recieves a gift at the end (cash commonly).
It's been going on for years in Japan. Stan Hansen talkes about it in his biography (it was already an established practice by the late 70s) and there's footage of The Bullet Club on one of these sponsored nights on youtube chopping the rich schmoe. (I think it's from that doc BBC Ireland did on Balor.)
>>1832881
Did PWG tried to plan this and scrapped it quickly before Mio retirement.
Not sure if this is my fav match ever but its pretty high in the list. Just watch it.

So is it like a pretty recent thing that if you're a female wrestler that you don't have to be a prostitute too? I mean, these stories about the old times of female wrestling...

>>1837805
It hasn't been that way in America for decades. Moolah was to blame for all of that and she's worm food now.
Why haven't these wewtists gone back yet?
do you guys think Onita fucked Kudo
>>1833768
I heard Gallows and Anderson talk about this on Jericho's podcast, they're basically a rich money mark that hangs out with the guys and either gives them money after or pays for food / drink for the night.
What's Yoshiko relationship with Greg the Hammer Valentine?
>>1839524
Probably not. He could get enough putang every night from rats without having to sleep with his own talent.
