Loss Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 It was already waning, but it seems like 2005 marked a turning point in Joshi interest with AJW and GAEA folding. I know some of you have continued to follow the scene during that time, so I wanted to ask what you would consider the best Joshi from 2006-2014? (I'll use that as a stopping point since we've had a few advocates for 2015 Joshi on the board.) Putting it in tiers would be super helpful. Something like this: Tier 1 - All-time classics Tier 2 - Very good-great matches but not quite MOTYC-level Tier 3 - Solid-good matchesTier 4 - Worth watching for other reasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsem43 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I didn't really start following joshi again until a couple of years ago. Even then it was more out of the curiosity of what it had become that led me to checking it out. I'll work on a list next week, but the match that convinced me to check out recent joshi was the 12/9/07 Azumi Hyuga vs. Karoi Yoneyama JWP title match. Played out the "Company Ace vs. Young Star" storyline perfectly. Clear Tier 1 match for me.

ohtani's jacket Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 All I can recommend you do is scroll through Joshifans, which still exists. Azumi Hyuga is a good person to start with, as you're probably familiar with her from the yearbooks. From memory, she had some high profile matches against Yoshiko Tamura somewhere around 2006. The last time I checked out any modern Joshi was when Arisa Nakajima was the next big young thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwegian Rudo Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Here's the highest rated matches from Punq's extensive Japan review threads for 2006-2010.

ns1257 Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Oh awesome, I can finally post on here! Been wanting to contribute to this thread for a while but my account remained in pending status for around a month. So I've been going back and watching a lot of stuff from Joshi's "dead" period, which was around from 2005 when both AJW and GAEA folded to 2011 when STARDOM was formed which has somewhat gotten the joshi scene back on its feet (emphasis on "somewhat"). 2005 was a pretty depressing year for the Joshi, with no real highlights at all. 2006 was where things started to pick up again, and there were definitely some gems to be had. 2007 was full of fantastic matches and my personal favorite year of the dead period. This is a work in progress, I've finished 2006 and almost finished going through 2007, and will get to work on the following years soon. Bolded are top tier matches and are a must-watch for that year. Italtics are second tier matches which are solid to really good matches but not quite on the same level as the bolded matches. The rest are notable matches from that year that were okay or ones that I personally didn't care for, but are still worth taking a look at, Maekawa vs Takahashi in particular since this was the last time the WWWA belt was defended as an active belt. 2006 Mayumi Ozaki, Chikayo Nagashima & Carlos Amano vs Manami Toyota, Meiko Satomura & Nanae Takahashi – Oz Academy 9/1/2006 Chikayo Nagashima vs Kaori Yoneyama – T-1 Grand Prix 23/2/2006 Carlos Amano vs Mika Nishio – Oz Academy 26/3/2006 Kumiko Maekawa © vs Nanae Takahashi – WWWA Title & Maekawa Retirement Match – Maekawa Produce 26/3/2006 Atsuko Emoto & Ayumi Kurihara vs Kyoko Kimura & Bambi – Ibuki 6/5/2006 Tsubasa Kuragaki © vs Manami Toyota – JWP Openweight Title – JWP 28/5/2006 Meiko Satomura vs Aja Kong – SENDAI 9/7/2006 Mariko Yoshida vs Kyoko Kimura – 2/3 Falls – Ibuki 16/7/2006 Yoshiko Tamura © vs Kayoko Haruyama – NEO Singles/NWA Women's Pacific Titles – NEO 17/7/2006 Manami Toyota, Mariko Yoshida, Kaoru Ito & Tomoko Watanabe vs Azumi Hyuga, Chikayo Nagashima, Carlos Amano & Tsubasa Kuragaki – Toyota Produce 6/8/2006 Manami Toyota vs Aja Kong – Toyota Produce 6/8/2006 Yoshiko Tamura © vs Chikayo Nagashima – NEO Singles/NWA Women's Pacific Titles – NEO 17/9/2006 Manami Toyota © vs Azumi Hyuga – JWP Openweight Title – JWP 18/9/2006 Ran Yu Yu & Toshie Uematsu © vs Tojuki Leon & Kaori Yoneyama – JWP Tag Team Titles – JWP 18/9/2006 Yoshiko Tamura © vs Mariko Yoshida – NEO Singles/NWA Women's Pacific Titles – NEO 3/11/2006 Meiko Satomura vs Mayumi Ozaki – SENDAI 11/11/2006 Meiko Satomura vs Kyoko Kimura – SENDAI 3/12/2006 Azumi Hyuga © vs Yoshiko Tamura © – JWP Openweight Title & NEO Singles/NWA Women's Pacific Titles – JWP 24/12/2006 2007 Mariko Yoshida vs Atsuko Emoto – Ibuki 28/1/2007 Yoshiko Tamura © vs Ayako Hamada – NEO Singles/NWA Women's Pacific Titles – NEO 18/2/2007 Azumi Hyuga & Meiko Satomura vs Nanae Takahashi & Misae Genki – NEO 18/2/2007 Yoshiko Tamura vs Ayumi Kurihara – NEO 10/3/2007 Azumi Hyuga & Arisa Nakajima vs Yoshiko Tamura & Ayumi Kurihara – Discover New Heroine Tournament Round 2 – JWP 15/4/2007 Yoshiko Tamura & Azumi Hyuga vs Ayumi Kurihara & Shu Shibutani – NEO 29/7/2007 Natsuki*Taiyo © vs Kyoko Kimura – World-1 Women’s Title – Pro Wrestling SUN 27/5/2007 Yoshiko Tamura © vs Emi Sakura – NEO Singles/NWA Women's Pacific Titles – NEO 3/5/2007 Haruka Matsuo vs Azumi Hyuga – NEO 5/5/2007 Meiko Satomura vs Manami Toyota – Battlefield WAR Tournament Round 2 – SENDAI 6/5/2007 Yoshiko Tamura vs Arisa Nakajima – NEO 27/5/2007 Chikayo Nagashima vs Sonoko Kato – Oz Academy 10/6/2007 Nanae Takahashi & Natsuki*Taiyo vs Azumi Hyuga & Kayoko Haruyama – Pro Wrestling SUN 12/7/2007 Misae Genki & Haruka Matsuo © vs Yoshiko Tamura & Emi Sakura – NEO Tag Team Titles – NEO 16/7/2007 Aja Kong vs Ayako Hamada – Battlefield WAR Tournament Semi-finals – SENDAI 22/7/2007 Meiko Satomura vs Ayako Hamada – Battlefield WAR Tournament Final – SENDAI 22/7/2007 Azumi Hyuga © vs Amazing Kong – JWP Openweight Title – JWP 26/08/2007 Ran Yu Yu & Toshie Uematsu vs Michiko Ohmukai & Yumi Ohka – WAVE 26/08/2007 Meiko Satomura, Chikayo Nagashima & Toshie Uematsu vs Sonoko Kato, Carlos Amano & Ran Yu Yu – Nagayo Produce 30/9/2007 Azumi Hyuga & Arisa Nakajima vs Meiko Satomura & Tyrannosaurus Okuda – SENDAI 5/10/2007 Nanae Takahashi vs Azumi Hyuga – Pro Wrestling SUN 7/10/2007 Ayako Hamada & Kaoru Ito © vs Yoshiko Tamura & Misae Genki – NEO Tag Team Titles – NEO 4/11/2007 Azumi Hyuga © vs Kaori Yoneyama – JWP Openweight Title – JWP 9/12/2007 Kayoko Haruyama & Tsubasa Kuragaki © vs Nanae Takahashi & Natsuki*Taiyo – JWP Tag Team Titles – JWP 9/12/2007 Commando Bolshoi vs Tojuki Leon – JWP 9/12/2007 Arisa Nakajima, Hiroyo Matsumoto, & Hanako Kobayashi vs Tyrannosaurus Okuda, Aya Yuki, & Aoi Kizuki – JWP 31/12/2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
