💣
[Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling “Third Anniversary Show - Fall Spectacular” - 9.19.1992 (Yokohama Arena - Yokohama, Japan)]
💣
the first ever interpromotional joshi match took place at FMW’s Third Anniversary show, pitting the All Japan Women’s team of Bull Nakano and Akira Hokuto against FMW’s home team of AJW dropouts Megumi Kudo & Combat Toyoda. in the early 90s, FMW sought to set themselves apart with cards showing off both men and women’s wrestling matches but was in desperate need of female talent with classical training. Kudo & Toyoda, both trained by the legendary Jaguar Yokota, took part in an invasion angle, putting the existing FMW women’s talent on notice and skyrocketing to the top of the card. but with Kudo and Toyoda outclassing all the homegrown FMW talent save a certain Shark Tsuchiya, their storylines became stagnant with no credible opponents to defeat. so Onita picked up the phone and dialed the AJW front office.
💣
this is a great match only hampered by the poor time management that dogged early FMW supershows. while i wish it could have been longer, this match is red hot and clearly carries some real world tension with it. while Nakano and Kudo were always very close, Nakano was still her senior, and such positive histories did not exist among the rest of the participants in the match. the AJW contingent batters the FMW women like there’s no tomorrow, with hard slaps and stiff abuse on the outside. Hokuto & Nakano get the victory (while the dumbass camera op is in a wide shot lol), but the rivalry would continue to burn bright. in Kawasaki one year later, Kudo & Toyoda would finally triumph over their AJW seniors and prove to the joshi world that they had carved out their own piece of the industry without the help of the institutions of Yokotaworld.
