RIPPA Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It was tough choosing the female rep for FMW but I felt it most fitting to use Combat... especially because this is her retirement match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSJ Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Am I alone in really missing FMW? I still think Onita is one of the best mic workers ever, even though I could only understand about 10% of what he was saying... Aja vs Combat was just wonderful.

cool arrow Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I miss Onita-era FMW too. Fuyuki era... maybe not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAHU Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I've been going to Japan every year to meet and hang out with old FMW wrestlers and still run a website based off those wrestlers so no you are not the only one who misses FMW OSJ. I met Combat Toyoda in 2011. She has a Korean BBQ resturant way out in Chiba. It was one of the highlights of that trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It was tough choosing the female rep for FMW but I felt it most fitting to use Combat... especially because this is her retirement match. I'd have gone with the obvious and picked Megumi Kudo so that Fresh could shrink in terror as plasma gushed freely from her cranium. Still, Mother-In-Law could whoop some ass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=344BcOwTCkI There are few things I love more than pro wrestling matches where the beatdown starts before the timekeeper rings the bell.

RandomAct Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Two things, I always thought "Mother-in-Law" was a surprisingly badass nickname. Secondly, I hate that most of my exposure to Toyoda and Kudo were through those awful Tokyo Pop videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Am I alone in really missing FMW? It is a horrible world since we all can no longer share in the joy of watching Mr. Gannosuke break someone's arm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I am still fuzzy on how she got her nickname. I assume she got it because of the running joke that she's the person you least want to see at your doorstep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 My first exposure to the retirement match (which is amazing) and Joshi in general was on a used VHS of Stranglemania 2 I bought in a pawn shop which had ICP rewinding the part where Combat gets dropped on her head over and over while laughing their asses off. I might hate ICP... but thank you, boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume she got it because of the running joke that she's the person you least want to see at your doorstep. She got the nickname from a Hollywood writer for the TokyoPop series thought she looked like a mother in law due to her being big and unattractive. It was never an actual nickname in FMW.

RandomAct Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 That's a shame. That is the only part of TokyoPop that was redeemable then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unattractive? I had fairly sketchy standards in my college years. I am sure that back then, she'd have started to look acceptable after five beers, but brown liquor might have to come into play. All big girls are freaks, too. Huge factor in the drunken decision making process. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSJ Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 The fact that she might beat you to death with a ball-peen hammer should you be so ungentlemanly as to try and sneak out in the morning only adds to the allure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingus Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'm with JT and OSJ on this one. Not that I specifically prefer crazy violent fat chicks, but historical precedent suggests that they sure do seem to prefer me. I actually liked one part of the godawful TokyoPop storylines: that Kudo and Toyoda were former lovers. For some reason that made the whole thing bizarrely more powerful. I still wanna book a completely intergender federation where you could do REAL soap opera storylines. Can you imagine "you cheated on me, you son of a bitch, so I'm gonna whip your ass in a steel cage!"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
