Posted June 4Jun 4 comment_6030741 LIONESS ASUKA & CHIGUSA NAGAYO vs JUDY MARTIN & DONNA CHRISTIANELLO (03/08/1986; WWF Boston Garden; 00:18:53) - Judy Martin is a really great heel. When Lioness gets the hot tag, the crowd actually got up for it. She locks in the Sharpshooter but Judy make sit to the ropes. Miscommunication flying clothesline gets a gasp from the crowd. They recover and get a modified sling blade clothesline on Martin. Judy just slaps one of them to stop the momentum. Double dropkick sets up the giant swing on Donna. The crowd is going wild as the Japanese girls get the win. It took a while but the Crush Gals won the crowd over. This might not even make it on a joshi set but that’s not why I am nominating it. . I think this deserves a nomination on how you can win a bored crowd over with smart and exciting work. SOLID NOMINATION.
June 4Jun 4 Author comment_6030746 EXPOSER: 3. The Crush Girls vs. Judy Martin/Donna Christianello This was a fun match. The crowd was really into the Crush Girls by the end of the match so it made the last few minutes really exciting. There wasn't much structure in this and it was a lot of back forth stuff. It also wasn't a spot fest either. Martin and Christianello were good stooges for Chigusa and Lioness. The finish was really fun with the Crush Girls winning the match after Asuka gave Christianello a giant swing. This didn't have any real tag structure but it was definitely fun in spots.
