So while Bull & Hokuto were off in the land of the Frontier kicking butt AJW sent a bunch of their other girls down for a little vacation down Mexico way.
- (2 out of 3 Falls) Toshiyo Yamada & Manami Toyota vs Maria del Angel & Tania
Never seen or even heard of the 2 luchadoras before. 1st fall is all about the visiting AJW girls showing off and controlling things as they run through their low level offense. Toyota spazes out while Yamada gets some kicks in and stretches folks on their way to an easy win. 2nd fall is quick and sees Maria & Tania bust out a big bag of pedestrian arm drags...and stomps..and stuff...not exactly making a great first impression on me here. 1 of them pins Yamada with a simple drop kick while the other pins Toyota with a sidewalk slam...yup. Final fall is a repeat of the first only Toyota does bigger dives and Yamada does fancier kicks. A Double flying head butt wins it for them. Entire thing only went 8 mins and was pretty much just a squash to highlight Toyota & Yamada who even though they weren't even doing anything that spectacular still got over pretty big with the crowd here. Action was kinda sloppy a lot of the time since the lucha ladies had a hard time adjusting to taking Japanese style offense but this was ok enough.
As is customary when ever we get a joshi show highlighting a Mexican trip we get a ton of sightseeing footage now with the highlights being
- Kyoko Inoue & Aja Kong visit Kendo at what appears to be a mask making factory set up in someones living room. Kyoko picks out a Tiger Mask while Aja finds one of Liger and starts huming his freaking theme song. Aja then tries to steal a Super Porky Brazo mask but Kendo gives it to her as a gift :)
- Toyota & Yamada visit a lucha museum. They play with the giant toy ring, try on diffrent mask and find a pic of Yoshida & Shimoda hitting a double flying drop kick to Martha Villalobos that happened to be hanging up for some odd reason.
- Lioness Asuka shows up to chill with Yamada & Toyota after and they take stroll through a park.
- Aja & Kyoko visit the Wagner/Moreno family home. Minus Silver King & Esther the whole clan is thear pretty much. Wagner Sr, Mama Wagner, Wagner Jr, Cynthia, Alda & Rossy Moreno & I belive Alda's kids. Cynthia makes them all lunch.
- (2 out of 3 falls) Aja Kong, Kyoko Inoue & La Diabolica vs La Sirenita, Neftali & Lady Apache
Cool, except for Sirenita i'm familiar with all the luchadoras here. Nice to see Diabolica again as she hasn't been back over to Japan sine 90. So unlike the previous match this is wrestled a little more evenly. Aja & Kyoko along with Diabolica are working ruda and this follows your basic tag formular. The good girls out wrestle and outsmart the big evil monsters. Pretty awesome seeing Aja do the wacky lucha miscomunication spot whear you get tricked into destroying your own team mates. Eventually the technica's get caught and destroyed with power stuff. Nasty looking power slam off the top from Aja to end the 1st fall. 2nd fall is more of the same, things pick up when they start busting out a few dives and stuff but it ends badly as Diablica takes out Apache with a flip tope and Apache gets knocked out hitting the back of her head on a chair. A few mins later the other 2 fall to the #s game with Aja beating one with the flying back elbow and Kyoko dropping the other with the Niagra Driver to sweep things 2 falls to 0. Pretty fun match as Aja & Kyoko have no prob eating lucha offense so they all meshed quite well here.
