Loonng 2/3 falls match that has a ton of brawling and liberal interference from Dump Matsumoto and her army leading to some really wild and chaotic moments. This was one of the better Lioness performances in particular. Yet another classic from mid 80s AJW.

I thought this was fantastic. Great energy and passion from the Crush Gals from the jump. They gave off an ass kicking vibe in the first fall. They also sold down the stretch effectively, it felt like the beating they were taking kept adding up. Lola and Tarantula were nasty foils, adding up to a great story.
And then the interference comes. I had forgotten about Asuka for a minute and then she showed back up and looked all fucked up. I can’t say if it was presented that way on purpose but it was really effective. Great fire from the Crush Gals as they wrapped up the third fall and an overall great performance.

Wanted to give this one a bump, something I am considering.

Third. But also to add that I'm changing the title as despite the labelling on Classics it is clearly La Galactica not Tarantula.

I ranked this 66th and included these comments:
Getting to dig into the top Joshi matches of the 80s and 90s was the most worthwhile expedition of the whole project. This match may not be as high-profile as some of the other well-regarded matches, but it is a joy that I wanted to discuss, as I suspect I may be the high/only vote on this. We get technical wrestling, brawling, drama, blood, the works. Lola Gonzalez feels like the great lost worker of the 80s and takes some spectacular bumps here. La Galactica is as nasty as she wants to be, plus we get a reference to her great feud with Jaguar Yokota during some of the mayhem outside the ring. The mayhem is driven of course by Dump, who is here to continue her torture of the Crush Gals and drive the action forward. This is my favorite Lioness Asuka performance, she brings such fire and credibility. And Chigusa lives up to her rep as the best babyface in the 1980s.
