Posted October 27, 201015 yr comment_5457725 One thing you won't forget about 80's joshi even if you haven't watched it in a while is that Dump Matsumoto is a top ten heel of all time, and consequently, it's not hard to pick up on the context of this match almost immediately as she and Bull (who looks alarmingly like Shark Tsuchiya at this point, but thankfully doesn't wrestle like her) roll in, with Dump swinging her kendo stick at everything that moves. The plucky Jumping Bomb Angels aren't afraid to get in the grill of the big bullies, with Itsuki actually having the balls to shove Dump when she tries to intimidate her. This is all about the Angels trying their best to stand their ground as the heels pull every dirty trick in the book (many in full view of the ref, who I'm pretty sure isn't Dump's heel ref, unless she has two...and she's not afraid of pushing this one around) to try and get the win. Some of the stuff with the ref getting bullied didn't sit right with me, but fuck it, this was still a crazy great monster heels vs. plucky underdog faces brawl, and feels like an easy nomination. Bonus points for Itsuki monkey flipping the cowardly ref post-match.
