Jaguar Yokota vs La Galactica Uwa title 1/5/85

 Another great encounter between these two and la galactica would easily be pick at the moment for most improved from my first impression of her. I don't think there's enough footage of her thanks to her being as far as i know a UWA talent to get her on the ballot overall unless there's been an upsurge in the amount of UWA footage available and I'm just not aware. The match kind of goes as you'd expect it to with galactica taking control on the mat and eventually upping the pace with Jaguar gushing red eventually. There's an early strike exchange before the mat control begins though if i were to nitpick this I'd say that galactica was so firmly in control that when she upped the pace felt a tad arbitrary even though to be fair it's great in how it's executed. Jaguar makes the comback with a suplex. 8.5/10

On comics and wrestling in 2025

 It's odd how at least for my fandoms 2025 feels like a dark mirror of 2016-17 or maybe oddly darker given how dark the first administration already was. First administration... I'll stop before this becomes ranting about the triplet sins of wealth racism and ableism. This is my first month trying to test if the wrestling fandom in me was like dead yeast or not by picking out two shows and seeing how i reacted to them. the shows being Ase's televised product on YouTube and deadlock pro. Verdict yup it's alive and burning hot. It's interesting that there was or maybe still is an instinctive cringe at comparisons between comics and wrestling from the wrestling side of things. There's still a lingering trauma response to the cartoony elements of 80s wwf presentation but that's enough of that.  It strikes me that both times I've successfully dived back into wrestling have been when the world has been going to shit. Now that I think about it the same holds tr...

Jaguar Yokota vs La galactica 2/27/85 wwwa title match and disk 7 retrospective

 we start off this bout with a sneak attack by Galactica which responds to with appropriate ferocity. Jaguar wins the strike exchanges and eventually gets Galactica to ringside via an over-the-top back body drop. this back body drop ends up being a mistake because by going to ringside Jaguar opens herself up to shenanigans. Big thing strategically is this the first impact on the arm early in this match and as Jaguar prepares herself to reenter the ring we see her shaking her arm out. Interestingly Galactica is seemingly of two minds cause she vacillates a little between working the arm as a means to gain a foothold and using it as her primary target. the deciding factor is that when given the opportunity Jaguar can still win head to head exchanges at this point there's copious use of nunchucks alongside two instances of smashing the shoulder into the ringpost and attacking the shoulder while the arm is wrapped around the top rope causing it to bleed. Galactica goes full vampiric in...

Crush Girls vs Dump Matsumoto and Bull Nakano Tag league the best Final

 We start off with the Alliance in identical prematch outfits starting the match with a massive attack on the crush girls and a body double for Dump which is such a fun touch. The first fall is defined by the alliance taking advantage of the lead given by the sneak attack to focus on targeting Chigusa's injured knee. The alliance is eventually disqualified for excessive use of illegal tactics giving the crush girls the first fall. It's readily apparent that the alliance don't give a fuck because they're confident the damage they inflicted will be telling enough to win them the war. The second fall is an odd one cause it's so short due to a surprise knockout of Lioness Asuka via doomsday device which rocks. Prior to the finish you get what you'd expect Chigusa trying to get back into the action while trying to protect her leg and Asuka being a house of fire. The third fall is essentially a struggle for survival for the crush girls with Chigusa having to start off...
