Their wrestling style is awesome i hope it's taught in north american pro wrestling so we can enjoy female WWE or TNA level action because of it. Refreshing to see this match, thank you.
@jimjoneswsw Not so long as some guy by the name Vince McMahon is in charge at the WWE will we see this quality, it's all about what makes him money, and he sees that as porn and soap stars.
Compare this to any of the fake-tits-no-talent bimbos WWE shove down your throats and tell me what's better. If I wanted to see tits and arse, I'd buy a porn film, if I wanted to see wrestling, I'll buy a wrestling DVD!!
Also, Hokuto once broke her neck in the first match of a best of 3 from a top rope brain buster and continued to work that match holding in head in place the entire time.
I've been watching wrestling for about 25 years, and one of my favorite promotions of all time is AJW. To anyone reading this, try to find a DVD, or some way to watch DreamSlam 1. One of the best super shows of all time.
Tremendous match. It's a shame neither WWE nor TNA have the inclination to bring us matches like this nowadays. It was one of the major reasons why serious wrestling fans preferred WCW to the WWF for several years.
@xena224 Hokuto had a great program with Madusa in WCW in late 1996 and into 1997. You'll find some of those matches on youtube with a quick search, and they're great.
Wow, I remember watching this match when it aired. I was 16 and this absolutely blew me away. I wrote down Akira Hokuto's name and tried to find out more about her. I was blown away not just by her wrestling skill but her awesome entrance attire and character. WCW had some problems, but they were always great about bringing in international talent.
REAL women wrestlers right here. It's nice to hear that the US crowd responded will to this match and showed appreciation for it. Keep in mind that as good as this match was, the stuff they did in Japan was even more amazing.
especially that woman in pink. she was the best wrestler ever. male or female..if you don't know about Akira Hokuto, then you need to inform yourself. She was the QUEEN of Puro.
@Tonfa4brutality Well, WCW fans at the time, loved it all...and during that year, wrestling was on top of it's game in america. This is a rematch from world war 3 I believe. But it's awesome nonetheless.
So what do you have against Bull Nakano who was among the best ever? She was big but also thick, sexy and as Bobby the brain said, attractive in an Oriental kind of way. Akira was at one time head of a Nakano fan club. But yes Akira was fantastic; but honestly I think Jaguar Yokota and Manami Toyota were the best.
Yes; interestingly, although she debuted two years after Nakano, she is about 6 months older. Hard to believe that in the golden age of joshi, so many fans were young school girls who became ardent fans of this harsh sport and Akira was one of them. By the way, I have been trying to reach our friend Roy but he has been off channel for a few days. I have a picture of the famous luchadora Cynthia Moreno doing a flying cross body press on Bull which I wll send to you.
