"Deserves a nomination and a re-evaluation. She's an awesome heel and knows how to use her size well. The Jaguar match is a revelation. Good athlete when she was younger and could really bump for someone her size. I'd really like to watch everything out there in her prime. She had World Class opposition and looks more than capable of holding her own. The Jaguar match isn't a carry job but two wrestlers working beautifully together."

Honestly, someone i went on a little side binge watching not long ago after seeing the hyped Jaguar match. I haven't watched quite enough to evaluate, but she definitely deserves consideration. I came away with the impression that she knew how to place meaningful punctuation in matches that grabbed the attention and kept things engaging. Underdeveloped thought, but that was my initial take away.

I recall her being very good at the Dump role during her time in All Japan. I liked her feud with Jackie Sato.

Really cool, consider her in the 90s of my list. Her presentation of a Monster is really well especially for someone thrust in to the spotlight with little experience.

She is very engaging and character, presence. My favorite Jackie Sato and Jaguar Yokota matches were against her are really cool and maybe my favorite matches I have seen from either (still learning about both). She does feel like a proto-Dump Matsumoto and even had a fun match with Matsumoto later in her career.

Her Puerto Rico WWC is really enjoyable. I haven't gone through it all but, her to Japan work in the 80s and 90s is also good.
