"My top rated women's wrestler, despite everything, she's connected with me greatly throughout her career in different environments. This doesn't count for much but as someone who generally dislikes intergender wrestling she's one of the few women that's ever made it work for me. To the point where I wish she'd come in and beat up Kazuchika Okada for ripping off one of her iconic looks but I digress." Dylan Harris



"Has started to become more and more appreciated lately. I am also thinking more and more highly of her work myself." stunning_grover



Recommended Match:


Shinobu Kandori vs Akira Hokuto (AJW, 4/2/93)
