Yuhi vs Hamada - Japanese Female Wrestling

Here is retired Japanese female wrestler Yuhi nailing Ayako Hamada with a flying kick to the side of the head.
After only two years as a pro wrestler, Yuhi retired in March of 2014.
Incredibly she retired just afetr he High School graduation.
Yeah, the two years that she wrestled, she was in High School and she retired at the ripe old age of 19.

Of course Ayako Hamada is still going strong.
She debuted in 1998 and is still going today.

The Top Ten Japanese Female Wrestlers in August

I haven't done a top ten of Japanese female wrestlers here in awhile, so here we go.

1. Hamada
Without a doubt the most popular Japanese lady wrestler on here.
Of course the worldwide exposure on TNA has a "little" something to do with that.
I'm hoping that might start some more interest in Joshi Puroresu over here.

2. Kaori Yoneyama
Surprisingly to me, Kaori Yoneyama came in at the second postion.
Last month HybridDolphinELPS put up a video tribute to Kaori on YouTube that you can see here:

3. Francoise
Last month, the lovely Francoise, recently from Hustle, came in at number three.
Here's a short video of Francoise wrestling another Japanese beauty Cherry posted by persicummalum on YouTube

I'd like to thank all of these posters that have put up Joshi videos on YouTube, that give eveyone a chance to get in on the action.
If you go to the vids (sorry I didn't hyperlink them, but Goggle seems to get cranky if I do that too much in a post) make sure to subscribe to these posters channels.
And let them know you appreciate their work at getting these matches out there.

Ayako Hamada Finally at TNA.com

I'm interrupting the Women of Hustle series to let everyone know that Ayako Hamada has finally been acknowledged on the TNA homepage.
You can read a press release about her from TNA here:
http://www.tnawrestling.com/content/view/1647/84/

It looks like TNA will call her just "Hamada".

Just thought I'd pop in with that since a lot of people have been wondering when she'd actually show up.
Now if I can just forgive them for that Cody Deaner crap......

Ayako Hamada Update

Finally an update on Ayako Hamada in TNA.
The Sun is reporting that Ayako is expected to start at the next set of TV tapings.

As you may recall, on April 8, 2009, it was announced at a press conference that Ayako had signed with TNA.
Of course I have been waiting since then to see just when she would pop up.

I'm still thinking a tag team with her and Sarah Stock (aka Dark Angel, aka Sarita) would be a great idea.
Lucha Libre AND Joshi Puroresu combined.

Manami Toyota wrestling Ayako Hamada in Japan

Here's a couple of photos of Manami Toyota wrestling Ayako Hamada in Japan.
It looks like Manami has her pretty well tied up here.
