Warrior Queen 2020: Babes, Blood and Barb Wire


Recommended Posts

That was a fun first show! Also, I really need to listen to more of Killing Joke. I'd only ever heard songs of theirs from the 80s before so I never knew they had any heavy songs.

Thank you. I am told Dave Grohl was involved in that song (album?) so that might explain the sound. I personally enjoy

from their recent (2011) album.

Where did you find this old footage of me waiting for the Women's Revolution mod?

Hm I wish I had checked this mod out before I started writing up my current project. Loving it so far. Looking forward to reading as you go! I do so love me some Joshi wrestling!

Welcome, nice to have you around. Hope you enjoy the joshi deathmatch action!

I looked up more songs from their 03 album after loving Death & Resurrection Show and found out not only did Dave Grohl do the drums, but he did it for free because he was such a huge fan. And you've got to respect a band that can do so many genre leaps that songs of theirs from 2003 and 2011 sound almost nothing alike.

<p><em>Sendai, February 2020</em></p><p><em>

Disposable Queens</em></p><p><em>

A disappointing debut. Underwhelming. Not living up to the hype. Lacking major stars. Ranked “originally Small, but now Tiny at best” and “third -by a long shot- best wrestling show in Tohoku”. And yet, here we were, ready to hold our second show. Just 50 fans less, give or take. No backstage incidents. Just Mushashibo missing this show due to injury. This wasn’t that bad after all. This could work. I would make it work.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>

SUPREME Yoshida opened the show with her entrance, sequined robe and all. The name, the look, the swagger (especially for someone with just a full year in the business), it was all out of an ‘80s SWF tape. So of course our fans hated her and they weren’t shy to make their opinion heard, but I’m unshakable in my decision to push her as a face, initially at least, if only to get even more under those fans’ collective skin. Gotta go with the reverse psychology on these counter culture people. Plus, girl’s a moving merch stand with all that ring gear and they’ll buy it all while hating her intensely.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>

After that start, Kaori Mochizuki was greeted with cheers as the hero who’d rescue the audience from Yoshida. It is a messed up place if fans are cheering their hearts out for the biggest, baddest monster heel, I’m telling you. Mochizuki is the largest woman in WQ2020 and that’s an achievement on its own in a roster that includes Monster Ishimura and Unstoppable Tai. Yeah, she’s got the charisma to be more than a hulking brute, but until she polishes her skills or is able to cut a half decent promo, it’s big bad brute for her right now.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>

Yoshida did the smart thing and dodged her opponent as much as she could, drawing even more heat out of the crowd, before she was cornered. Again, she outsmarted her opponent with her antics to escape. This was brilliant. She was depriving them of a proper match, then going right into sports entertainment territory. Then, to make matters worse, she attempted to retaliate using weapons. Yup, SUPREME Yoshida was finally getting into deathmatch wrestling and it was surreal, almost comical, to see such a character be so out of their element. Once contact was made though, Mochizuki no-sold the weapon shots and promptly proceeded to demolish her opponent, with Yoshida selling her butt off to make her opponent look devastating. Might have been a tad too late to try and garner sympathy, but at least the chaos helped hide the rookie’s flaws, as did being on the receiving end of most moves for the rest of the match, leading to a scary Jack-Knife Powerbomb for the finish.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>

Time for some proper deathmatch action and seriously, how did I not think of pairing Etelka and Manhunter right from our first show? I mean, just look at them next to each other! Probably keep looking at that instead of the match too, because matching styles were the only thing these teams had going on for them. In a perfect world, this would have been the savage team versus the street hooligan team, but this world is far from perfect and all these four did was bash each other with whatever they could get their hands on. Hannah even landed awkwardly during one of the final spots and shattered her ankle. I mean, should have seen it coming because her head was someplace else since the opening bell, but she had to tone it down and let Helena take the pin instead. Easily the worst match of the night.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>

Remember last time when I mentioned how Piper Hale was a U.S. Marine? Never got around to why she no longer is. Piper got medically discharged due to a bad knee and that’s why she wears a brace when wrestling. Which, of course, makes it a prime target for opponents and a pain in the ass when something happens to it. And happen it did, somehow due to Piper’s fault and not her opponent’s, who was sloppy as hell. The spectre of vengeance was gunning to regain some momentum after failing to capture the Queen of the Deathmatch title but clearly something was ringing in her head still from that match. This meant that rookie Hale got most of the offense in while her opponent no-sold it, until the injury happened and Onryo had to wrap it up with a hasty submission. What the hell.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>

Brianna F’N Riott! The ultimate “attention prostitute” and even that attention part is optional, given her track record, so is it really any surprise she got into wrestling? Anyway, this whole segment was better in my mind than the catfight that ensued. Fans barely know of Brianna and did not appreciate the interruption, but that was about it. They didn’t care about the catfight that ensued either, especially since it didn’t involve any barb wire or broken tables. Seriously, Iha’s torn outfit probably got more sympathy than her bloodied, clawed-out pretty face did. People are weird.</em></p><p><em>

Personal favorite right here, probably my personal match of the night. Takudome and Tsujimura built up some steam in light of their upcoming title match by defeating Unkillable and my booking genius shone once again, because both these teams seem to naturally gel together as units. Unkillable merch disappeared after this debut match of theirs, with Mad Millie Morgan taking her usual tough British punk character to dark, bloodthirsty places in order to fit in with this company and her suicidal teammate. I could tell she was out of her comfort zone, because she took a nasty bump that caused her to shatter her collar bone. Actually, the entire match was a raging dumpster fire of a spotfest and the winners weren’t spared either, since Angel faceplanted herself on the turnbuckle and somehow managed to bruise her eye socket. Speaking of her, fans nearly booed her out of the building, which makes sense because she’s made her name in clean-cut joshi matches for years. That’s part of why the match was booked to be a chaotic, fast paced mess, in-and-out before they notice the bad parts, but Rika apparently took the fans’ reaction to heart and decided to improvise, using the ropes for some extra leverage on her pin. Might be overdoing the reverse psychology thing with having our top babyface team be hypocrites, but then again, who needs absolutes in wrestling morality?</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>

Next out was Tereza Smirnov, who cut a promo in Russian -again- while her tracksuited bodyguards had surrounded the ring. She was interrupted (can see a pattern developing here) by Australia’s prime white trash character, Bonnie Bogan, who apparently had enough of her yapping and decided to shut her up. That meant she had to fight past the bodyguards of course, but Bonnie was all too happy to throw hands with them. Tereza used the distraction to escape, Bonnie beat up a bunch of dudes to look awesome and the segment tanked significantly less than the Iha-Riott variant earlier.</em></p><p><em>

Now the funny part is, Smirnov’s bodyguards were actually our ringside crew in tracksuits and this next match started before they could reset the ring, mainly before they could spread out the deathmatch toys. As a result, you had two teams of maniacs with nothing around to utilize, which of course took away some of the excitement. Not just that, it made a fair fight pretty hard to sell, since Majima and Dr. Yumaniac had little to use in order to avoid getting squashed, but somehow they pulled it off using -gasp- wrestling moves! Mostly on Tai who can sell and has a modicum of agility in her movement, but I digress. Ten minutes never felt longer, but they salvaged what they could before Mizucore’s music started playing out of the blue, distracting Dr. Yumaniac who got hit by Ishimura for the finish.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>

Once the ring was cleared again, Mizucore made her proper entrance and performed one of her bands songs. Obviously on playback, because we couldn’t afford to have her band play live. Not that fans minded much. Myself, I loved the part right before the song, where she apologized for whoever on sound control made a mistake and blasted her song earlier than scheduled. She nailed that pokerface, to the point where I couldn’t tell whether she was being ironic or if the sound guy actually had her song set on a timer and the match went on for a little longer than expected.</em></p><p><em>

And finally, our big main event, picking up from where our debut show left off. Title wasn’t on the line, as the story goes that Takami cared more about giving me a taste of “proper wrestling” than winning my title. Which kinda sounds degrading of the title, but it also makes her claim all the more serious if she’s willing to forgo a title shot in order to prove a point. Anyway, we took this to the limit and mostly out of the ring, brawling wildly in the stands between the fans. It was nice because I took her out of the ring where I’m most comfortable, but we still got to do hardcore spots without giving up on showcasing her wrestling skills. Think my best spot was when we were all the way to the back rows and she hit me with a Death Valley Driver on the stairs, which I proceeded to roll down all the way to the ring. That was also the cue to bring the match back to the ring for the finish and following the ladder spot, she gave me a roundhouse to the back of the head that felt like she was trying to kick my head off my shoulders and put me in a neck wrench. I tapped, proving I’m not invincible, she made her point, thing is, will she also stake a claim at my gold after this victory? Ah, come back again next month to find out!</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>

That show would end up getting an even worse rating than the first one and probably lost us some more fans, but I was fine with it. If I had to break this place down to build it back up, I would do so. Meanwhile, I had more pressing matters to attend to, like encouraging Angel Takudome. Poor girl was brought in to be the veteran presence, instead she got booed and injured, so I figured she could use the pick-me-up. She’s probably been through worse in her long career, but it wouldn’t hurt to cheer her up a bit either. Speaking of injuries, I gave the softest of hugs to Mad Millie Morgan for her efforts that night, trying really hard to not further aggravate her damaged collar bone. Hannah Hooligan was limping her way out of the locker room too and I gave her a shout out for being awesome enough to continue wrestling past her injury, but I doubt she cared much, assuming she heard me in the first place. Painkillers man, they make you numb.</em></p>

Another good show! Getting established is the hardest part with booking deathmatch (actually, overness-heavy styles in general) promotions. Once you find a star or two and get them up the card the show ratings will start creeping up.

 

I thought the driving force behind such companies is something along the lines of "just throw more bodies into the meat grinder" :rolleyes:

 

Not just any bodies though, you need people insane or masochistic enough to risk their lives for pocket change.

I think I am slowly coming to terms with our situation. Not settling for it, but accepting it. At first I thought the novelty of a deathmatch joshi promotion and the weight of my last name would be enough to carry us to new heights, but it’s kinda like wanting to work out and get fit versus realizing how much work and time it takes to get there. And we will get there, eventually.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>

Our opening match built on Bonnie Bogan crashing Tereza Smirnov’s promo last month. During the build-up to this show, Tereza had challenged Bonnie to a match, then the company announced a tag match between them, teasing who would be their teammates. Tereza came out first, presenting her teammate Rina Kasahara, who’s doing a solid job of portraying this kind of bully, gun-for-hire character. Bonnie made her entrance next and introduced… Storm!</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>

Yeah, not many Queens of the Colosseum fans in our audience. Might have something to do with the fact that the show was shot and broadcasted in Canada.

Bonnie led the match as she locked up with the less experienced Kasahara, while Smirnov immediately went looking for weapons as her team was clearly, seriously out-muscled. This set the tone for the match, with all four hitting each other using whatever they could get their hands on. Despite the adrenaline and bloodshed, fans didn't take the bait. It actually backfired and ended up with them booing. Might have been because they barely knew or cared about any of the four competitors, but it didn't help that Bonnie, who was supposed to be the ring general here, messed up pretty much all her spots. Somehow, that wasn't even the low point of the match because Tereza Smirnov trapped Storm's leg in a chair, dropped a knee on it and managed to shatter her opponent's knee in the process. Guess that's what made Bonnie realized it was time to take this home and she hit Kasahara with a lariat to win it.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>

Following Hannah Hooligan's injury, her twin sister Helena had to go solo and she was unlucky enough to land in a deathmatch against Naoko Majima. For some weird reason, a lot of this match was strikes and a lot of straight wrestling, which I didn't mind as it served to cleanse the fans' palette after that messy opening match. Helena even hit a few aerial moves to mix it up, but of course this being a deathmatch in a deathmatch promotion, Majima made sure her young opponent bled buckets before trapping her in a chokehold. Having lost a lot of blood, Helena passed out almost immediately and, unable as she was to tap out, the ref called for the bell instead.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>

It's Penny Ramone with the save! Again, no one knows her, but they do pop for the Ramones' music and they sort of know the other two women, so Penny still gets a bit of a cheer for making the save.</em></p><p><em>

Alright, time to give these people someone they know and care about: Me. I had to address my loss to Ai Takami, who I gave my respects to, before reminding her and everyone that I still am the champion. Oh and by the way, I was up next to wrestle in a 6 woman tag match.</em></p><p><em>

That new face in our team is Malady, a Dutch kickboxer turned wrestler. She's into the occult and goth stuff, so she's doing a sort of "Dark Avenger" gimmick, whatever that means, though fans seemed to like it. I figured she might look good next to Onryo anyway. We needed a touch of tag cohesion, visually at least, since the Chernobyl generation were in the opposing team. This was all about me looking good after my defeat last month, but damn that Kaori is a beast and there's a limit to how modestly she can be booked. Between her strength and the WQ Blood Sisters champions, they got the best of us in our hardcore, weapons-heavy bout and hit the rookie for the pin.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>

In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Kaori Mochizuki and Chernobyl Generation defeated Mirai Kajahara, Onryo and Malady in a Deathmatch match in 10:26 when Iryna Motyl pinned Malady.</em></p><p><em>

Oh great, another singles match for a champion where their title is not on the line. What the hell was I thinking. Fans are probably starting to lose faith in the legitimacy of our match making. Anyway, I hoped this one would pack such a punch it would sweep them off their feet before they could think about such things. Now, Dr. Yumaniac lives and breathes deathmatch wrestling, Róisín Gross is somewhat of a backyard legend in her native Ireland so I had high hopes for this, but Gross had a -pun intended- gross performance, botching a bunch of her big spots and causing her opponent to likely pull a muscle or something with her awful timing. The finish was supposed to be Gross getting pinned over thumbtacks, but I guess her opponent decided to deliver a receipt and instead put her in a Boston Crab, essentially forcing her to grind her face and chest on the tacks before tapping out to a move usually reserved for young lions.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>

Ah, yes, more fresh faces. "Battle Warrior" Kaori Takenouchi is all about the military outfits and warrior spirit. Which makes for an interesting opponent to the straight-laced, hard hitting Ai Takami, but sadly that means neither is willing to work a proper deathmatch so they've set up a glass ceiling for themselves there already. I tried to get around that limitation and play to their strengths, so I had them brawl out of the ring and all over the venue instead. I don't know why, but the crowd just wasn't feeling it. Either way, Takami won. Because of course she did, she beat ME last month, losing here would make her (and by extension, me) look weak.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>

Next up we had Angel Takudome and Rika Tsujimura cut a promo, first of all announcing that they shall be from now on be known as Angels of Death. Angel's not that great on the mic and fans tend to give her a lot of heat anyway, so I told her to just stand by and let Rika do the talking. More or less a standard promo to build up their future title match against the Chernobyl Generation, whenever that finally happens.</em></p><p><em>

Speaking of pairings getting a team name, Etelka the Hun and Maneater were announced as "Team Savage" in their main event fight against Unstoppable Monsters. If there's one team that looks able to -no pun intended- stop these two, it's Team Savage. Which they did, even if they had to resort to some cheating but at least they put on a solid fight and pushed the opposition instead of just getting squashed like most others, so it didn't feel like a fluke. It was a surprisingly even match actually and I'd have made it longer, were it not for Ishimura's terrible conditioning.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>

I waited behind the curtain to hug Ishimura and tell Tai she's awesome after the show was over. It really blows my mind how these two not only agreed to work for us while employed by 5SSW, they're also willing to do deathmatches. I like to dream they'll eventually pick a big push with us instead of being midcarders there, but the most likely scenario is they'll stick with the safer wrestling and secure pay, growing too popular and too expensive for our little promotion. I also gave Dr. Yumaniac a hug and leaned in to whisper in her ear that Gross was not to blame for her injury from what I saw in the replay, but good luck trying to convince an entire locker room about that.</em></p>
