Kandori Mapped out Your Lie and You Aren't Good For Her

Shinobu Kandori vs. Desiree Peterson LPWA 2/23/92 - FUN

PAS: LPWA was a Joe Pedicino run GLOW competitor which ran the same Vegas casino which had dying day AWA tapings. They had some deal with LLPW and brought in Kandori to work ex WWF Womens tag champion Peterson. Kandori had some really nice moments in what was a short TV match. Opened with a pretty stiff dropkick, put on a nasty abdominal stretch and ended with a Tiger Driver. Peterson looked pretty bad though, she looked like a low end hair whip and stomach kick 80s WWF women's wrestler, I imagine this would have been better with Velvet McIntyre or Rockin Robin. Still not a lot of chance to watch Jim Cornette call a Kandori match.

Shinobu Kandori/Mizuki Endo vs. Yumiko Hotta/Kumiko Maekawa AJW 8/22/97 - GREAT

PAS: This is a classic Puro tag set up, with a veteran teaming with young boy (or girl in this case). The structure is pretty classic, the veteran will beat the shit out of the younger wrestler while taunting their rival. We start with the Kandori and Endo team nastily working over the knee of Maekawa. I hadn't seen Endo before, but she was pretty good, she had this great half lariat/half STO, and is willing to get kicked hard in the head by Hotta and Maekawa. Maekawa has this harrowing thrust kick and she looks like she loosened some teeth on both Kandori and Endo. Kandori is at her mugging, smirking best, at one point she drops Maekawa with a palm thrust and does this little palm thrust dance which was super dickish. Your big star showdown section was pretty awesome, Hotta hits Kandori with a couple of low kicks and Kandori taunts her to take off her kick pads, both ladies go to the corner and remove their boots and kick pads and get into some MMA style sprawling which looked awesome. Finish was great with Hotta just wheel kicking Endo unconscious and getting right in Kandori's face to stare her down. Two matches in, this feels like an all time great rivalry.
