The Top Ten Finishers of All Japan Women's

A grand start to what's to come in the vid forecast......a top ten to one of THE greatest wrestling organizations to EVER exist.

Zen Nihon Joshi Puroresu (nicknamed Zenjo) was the shining star of women's wrestling since the 1980's. It consistently brought in great viewings on Japanese television sets. And with the increasing popularity of legends such as the Beauty Pair (Jackie Sato & Maki Ueda) and the Crush Gals (Chigusa Nagayo & Lioness Asuka) EVERYONE wanted to become a wrestler.

And with the aid of amazing trainer/wrestler Jaguar Yokota and others, future star wrestlers such as Akira Hokuto, Aja Kong, Manami Toyota, Mariko Yoshida, Kyoko Inoue, Megumi Kudo, Mima Shimoda, Etsuko Mita, and MANY MANY MORE came about. AJW consistently put out great to classic matches and shows and solidified its place in wrestling history.

Unfortunately, due to financial decisions, the formation of new promotions and competition, and the loss of several key stars, AJW was eventually forced to close its doors in 2005.

But that doesn't mean that we STILL can't revel in its massive libraries of great matches constantly rediscovered and thus here's a top ten of what I considered the best finishers from amazing ladies throughout its legendary era.

The funny thing with the Uraken is that while it's little more than a fast, heavy backhand, it still looks devastating.

And fuck yeah Victoria Driver... that was the first instance of the move, before it got called the Burning Hammer, right?

[bitchmisteress]

Yes, I believe so and I think Inoue's only used it two times ever.

[princesstamika]

Women's wrestling fans against fakers?

Awesome. Can I be apart of that?

[bitchmisteress]

You certainly may :)

[wattsatllan18]

did you use my vid? for the first one??

[bitchmisteress]

You posted yours after mine lol... i just ripped the second half of the match DoubleMiz. I did borrow the Uraken and RGSB clips from TheSuicidalDragon to shave time, though I prefer ripping the entire matches for the best quality.

[altohart]

While these are great moves, aren't they called "finishers", and aren't they kicked out of in all but the first clip?

[sscc587]

Not only are these some of the top finishers but most of them are invented by the woman who uses them.

The TNA Knockouts and WWE Divas couldn't lace one of these women's boots...these are the real female wrestlers
