Mimi Hagiwara and Jaguar Yokota taking on Devil Masami and Tarantula

Here is a video of  Mimi Hagiwara and Jaguar Yokota taking on Devil Masami and Tarantula (Wild Kazuki).
This match is from January 4th, 1983 and took place at the Korakuen Hall in Japan.
Devil Masami and Tarantula were the WWWA World Tag Team Champions.

Watching this video I realized that I had forgotten just how strong Devil was.
I really think that she could have won the match alone.

She pretty much brutalizes Mimi and Jaguar both.

The Tragic Death of Plum Mariko

It was well known that the weekend of August 15th-17th would be a sad one for women’s wrestling fans, as one of the most promising young stars, JWP’s Candy Okutsu, was retiring way before her time due to a bad back. However, the weekend turned into a catastrophe when long-time JWP star Plum Mariko tragically died after her match on the 15th. Plum, real name Mariko Umeda, teamed with Bolshoi Kid against Mayumi Ozaki & Rieko Amano at Hiroshima Sun Plaza. Ozaki used one of her regular spots, the Ligerbomb, to pin Plum. The move was not blown, rather it was executed no differently than normal, but it appears that have triggered a pre-existing problem, an abscess on Mariko’s brain. Since other wrestlers had faked not being able to get up after the finish (sold the finish) that night, the fans in the arena didn’t immediately realize there was a problem. It seems that this spot may not have been the planned finish of the match. In any case, Plum was knocked out from the Ligerbomb and didn’t kick out. After the match, Ozaki and the other wrestlers saw Plum, who still hadn't budged, snoring, which is a sign that her brain was bleeding.
