That however did not put down Kaoru, who was actually able to Bodyslam, the big woman. She hit Toyoda with a Belly-to-Back Suplex/Bridge Combo, to get a two count. As Toyoda tried to Suplex Kaoru, the youngster reversed it into a DDT and then hit a Moonsault for a two count.
Back and forth the match went, but Kaoru regained the advantage and performed a Brain Buster that would put any other woman away, but not Toyoda, who kicked out at two. Kaoru hit a Hurricanrana and again gets a two count. Toyoda reversed things with a Tiger Bomb, but she, herself, only picked up a two count. In fact, Kaoru showed tremendous strength by bridging out of Toyoda's pin attempts, lifting Toyoda up and out of the pin, keeping her alive for at least a few more seconds. Her survival came at the end when Toyoda landed a vicious Powerbomb to pick up the victory. Usually after a match this good, the two wrestlers will shake each other's hands. However, Kaoru let her pride get in the way. "I won't let you leave until I have beaten you," she said referring to Toyoda's possible retirement. "One more time...I won't shake your hand until then."
Nakayama could not even get any offense in this match and was brutalized by both heels until Kudo got the tag and cleared house of the vicious duo. Nakayama finally showed some offense when tagged in again. She hit a Bulldog on Mongo, not once, but twice in the match. She then landed a beautiful Flying Bodypress on Mongo, who was outside on the hard floor. The end came when Nakayama, the future flag bearer for women in FMW, flipped off of Kudo to hit her patented Moonsault on Mongo, followed by another Moonsault from the top ropes to get the big victory.
This was by far the best match of the show. I am totally a fan of Kudo's after watching her performances in the ring. She is the best woman wrestler I have ever seen in the ring. With barbed wire around the ring, I knew there was going to see blood.
Shark was able to launch Kudo into the barbed wire. Shark's friend Sato then pushed the barbed wire further into Kudo's head, bludgeoning the champ. Shark continued the onslaught and raked Kudo's head over the barbed wire. She then slammed a barbed wire bat into Kudo's stomach before raking that object across her head. Kudo now wearing a crimson mask was not about to let Shark get the victory. Kudo ducked Sato's swing of the bat and watched as Shark was hit with it, but Shark, almost impervious to the pain, launched Kudo stomach first into the wire. And all hell broke loose as a table was brought into the ring and Sato and Shark attempted to put Kudo through it. After a few tries, Kudo went through the table, but Shark only got a two count.
Kudo then showed her tenacity and through Shark through the table. However, Kudo is hurt and can't fight back. Shark then grabbed a sickle and attacked Kudo with it. Kudo defends herself and used a piece of the table to keep Shark away and the sickle got stuck in the table. Kudo then beat on Shark with the piece of table she had in her hand and then through Shark into the barbed wire.
Kudo then beat on Shark with the barbed wire bat and got her revenge. However, the two combatants went back and forth and barbed wire is cut off and brought into the ring as a weapon. Sato continues to help Kudo, but Toyoda, who was watching the match from ringside, evened the odds by throwing Kudo a chair to use in the match. Kudo Power Bombed Shark onto the table and got a two count. Kudo then did the impossible, lifting Shark up and finishing the match off with a reverse piledriver and pin.
Unfortunately, Kudo eventually retired from the sport and women wrestling would vanish soon after. After watching this tape, you will demand that FMW bring back what was probably the best women's division in the sport. This is all that is left of a legacy.
