“A word different from “break the heart” was born…” Shinobu Kandori reveals the “biggest what if” in the history of women’s professional wrestling…What if the “duel” with Chikusa Nagayo had come true[Maverick interview]| NumberPREMIER

In the 1980s, the women’s professional wrestling world was filled with conflict between the Crash Gals and the Villainous Alliance, and a dangerous fighter who was imbued with New Japan’s strong style appeared. The truth of the phantom match revealed by a unique foreign enemy who rose to the top in Japan in judo, broke Jackie Sato’s heart after converting, and whom Chikusa Nagayo was eager to compete against.(Original title:[The Biggest If in Women’s Professional History]Shinobu Kandori “The Heretic Who Appeared in the Final Episode”)

In episode 5 of the final episode of the Netflix series “The Villainous Queen,” Shinobu Kandori was the one who showed an “invisible presence.”

The loser haircut death match between Chikusa Nagayo vs. Dump Matsumoto is over, and as the era of enthusiasm between the Crash Gals and the Villainous Alliance slowly fades away, Dump Matsumoto, played by Yuriyan Retriever, is watching from the audience seats in front of the audience. Pro wrestling magazine. What was posted there was that Jackie Sato, a former beauty pair who was admired by all the female professional wrestlers of the Dump and Crash generation, had returned to active duty with a new organization, “Japan Women’s Pro Wrestling,” and in a match she became the former number one judoka in Japan. His face was swollen after being punched by Shinobu Kandori (then known as Shinobu).

Why did Jackie return to active duty with another organization? Why does such a big star have to be exposed with his swollen face? And what kind of person is Kandori who beat up Jackie?

In the drama, Kandori only appeared in the photo that appeared in this magazine. Still, it can be said that this is a famous scene that well expresses the mysterious and quiet fear that all female wrestlers of the time felt deep within their hearts, towards the presence of Kandori on the other side of the walls of their group.

And in the real world, Kandori at that time was a foreign entity that appeared in the world of women’s professional wrestling, which was in the midst of the Crash vs. Villainous boom.

This is the first time in the history of women’s professional wrestling that a top athlete with an overwhelming track record of winning three consecutive All Japan Weight Group Judo Championships and third place in the World Judo Championships has made the switch. Moreover, while almost all of the new female wrestlers at the time entered the world with aspirations of becoming professional women, she was the only one who had no connection to their aspirations. In March 1986, at a press conference to join the Japan Women’s Team, she said, “One hand is enough for a dump. A 10-second knockout is enough for a crash,” which excited all the female wrestlers, officials, and fans alike.
