Hey y'all! Another day, another comp.
Wouldn't suggest reading further until after you have finished watching. I can't stop you from doing that either way, but I do suggest you experience this compilation without knowing the contents within it.

Junkyard Dog vs. Great Kabuki (JCP World Wide Wrestling 4/7/1984) - FUN
Dude. JYD might be one of my favorites ever, huh? I like Great Kabuki a lot too, and wish he was more widely known as something other than "the guy that started the poison mist stuff" but he's no match for Dog here. No one ever is. At every cut-off and submission, JYD gives the crowd something to get behind and believe in. I think that a large part of pro wrestling is believing and living in the moment. He got it.
Abdullah Kobayashi & Mayumi Ozaki vs Kyoko Kimura & Yuko Miyamoto (BJW Katsura Special 2 6/4/2006) - GREAT
Insane, awesome match. Mayumi Ozaki doing deathmatch. You know what to expect out of the guys here, so I left this wishing Kyoko did even more hardcore shit like this. Of course, she did do a lot in her own right, but I feel like she could've easily been one of the greatest deathmatchers we've ever seen with this kind of stuff. Everyone just beats the crap out of each other. Don't even get me started on how sick as hell the Kobayashi/Kimura headbutts are.
Kept the post-match broadcast stuff in because they showed Kyoko comforting a really young Hana Kimura after the match, and that touched the heart yknow?
Hana Kimura vs Yako Fujigasaki [JWP Junior Title & Princess Of Pro Wrestling Title Tournament Final] (JWP Fly High In The 25th Anniversary Day 7 Evening Show 9/18/2016)
After that, I thought it'd be neat to include a Hana match. This was tourney final that had both the JWP Junior and Princess of Pro Wrestling championships on the line. The Princess one actually has a really interesting lineage if you're interested in checking out that kind of stuff. Of course the JWP one does too, but I hadn't heard of the other one previously.
This has some nice babyface work from Hana fighting upwards against the larger Fujigasaki. And I use that word "fighting" because she's able to truly make it feel that way. Hana wants to win and it feels like a competition. As far as I know, this was her first proper championship win, also why I included it.
I actually don't know much about her opponent here, but she seems gnarly herself.
Masao Orihara vs Great Sasuke [Tokuku Jr. Title Tournament] (Michinoku Pro 8/17/2002)
This is another clipped matchup from this tournament. This one actually followed the matchup I included in the first comp, Orihara/Naniwa. This seemed just as good, if not better than that. More evil dickhead Orihara, please.
Ricky Banderas vs Rastaman (IWA Puerto Rico 12/3/1999) - EPIC
Been on a bit of a Rastaman kick lately. He's awesome. Need to see more of his BattlArts stuff for sure.
This is almost as perfect of a wrestling match as you can get. Wow. It's like seven minutes, watch it ASAP.
