One of the greatest crowd reactions ever The screams and tears of the crowd are awesome here I'm not as big of a fan of Dump as I'm sure many are But when she was on top there were few better And Chigusa is just an all timer lol Love this match

Nagayo was also one of the biggest pop stars in japan as well so your taylor swift comparisons was spot on. This is genuinely if taylor was one of the best wrestlers in the world and lost against the devil themself and got her head shaved today.

Yeah, when people talk about pro wrestling being more than just good wrestling, I hope this is one of the examples they would refer to. This match isn't a wrestling clinic, but I personally think it encapsulates exactly what the foundation of pro wrestling is all about. The beloved hero that the crowd desperately wants to overcome the big bad villain. It's the feeling of pro wrestling being as real as it can and that you're actively rooting for one over the other. it definitely can feel over-dramatic considering that hair can just grow back. But hair vs. hair historically has always been a big emotional deal. Presentation is a big part of what makes a wrestler and when they get their hair shaved publicly, it's treated and/or sold as humiliation and taking away a big part of who they are (especially when it's after they just lost the match). Imagine someone like Bianca getting put in a hair vs. hair feud. It's not gonna be to this level, but it'd be their job to sell it enough to make the fans feel like it's a huge deal. Enjoyed your reaction to this! Wrestling is so big that it's always great to see you experience the different sides of it.

I think you picked it up, but the "Dump" name came from dump truck. She was given the name because of her build and power. There's actually a Dump Matsumoto scripted biographical series released by Netflix called "The Queen of Villains." It's in Japanese, but the English dubbed version has a small and funny connection to American wrestling. Alexa Bliss voices Maki Ueda. It's not the biggest part because Ueda was a forerunner of the Crush Gals and Dump Matsumoto. As her story in wrestling is ending theirs is just beginning, but it's something I thought was neat anyway.

AJW during this time period is some of my favorite wrestling. Love this match and the angle afterwards is quite possibly my favorite ever.

I preface this comment because it can be considered and interpreted as rude, but I love anime and respect Japan, its language, customs, etc, but the immature part of me laughs at the first name “Dump”.

I guess the hair stipulations can be a bit confusing for new fans. I think mask stipulations are easier to understand because there are a lot of Luchador’s in American wrestling and so we have it hammered in our heads that this mask is a really important part of who you are, but if you think about it, it just means you can’t wear a particular piece of clothing anymore, but in wrestling it matters a lot more. Historically hair matches have always been significant, of course the most famous one being Trump VS McMahon, which is ironic considering that neither one of them were the ones wrestling, but I’d digress. I will also say, as far as the crowd reaction goes, not only were the ratings for all Japan Women, which is the name of the promotion by the way since you were asking, really off the charts, but the fan base was almost exclusively female, and particularly, teenage females. While it is true that hair can just grow back, but hair can be made significant in wrestling due to its context in the history of the sport, if there was ever a believable audience that, even without that history being what it is, that would take losing your hair as something a kin too, as you put it, being beheaded, it would be teenage girls, who, not sure if you are aware, really seem to care a lot about their hair, and how they look in general. I see matches like this and even though I don’t want human beings worshiped as gods and or, on the other side of it, being assaulted just for playing their roles really well, I wish that crowds could be as invested in good guys and bad guys as this, but it hasn’t happened in America since the 90s. Don’t get me wrong, despite what people read online, as everyone knows, when you go to the arena, pretty much everyone is rooting for Cody to win for instance, but if he loses, no one outside of a couple of kids would be bawling their eyes out, here it seemed like almost everyone was crying, and that is a kind of energy that just can’t be replaced.

Public figures who "shame" the government or the country still have to shave their head publicly to this day. I think the hair vs hair thing here could be related to that in regards to the drama. Nagayo and ashoka were also in a pop duo with like top 10 or number one singles type deal , after starting wrestling and in between. You were on the ball with what you was thinking akin to swift and shame

One of the top matches in the 1980's. The local indie promotion brings in Japanese women from Chigusa's promotion in Japan.One time both of them were there. That was a cool moment to see them. I'm a new Patreon this was a match I was going to suggest,
