Chigusa Nagayo & Cutie Suzuki vs Devil Masami & Plum Mariko (JWP - 11/20/1993)
Really awesome match. This is really all about Chigusa vs Devil with Cutie & Plum more as background players. So it is slower paced than your typical Mid 90s Joshi match with great psychology and escalation. Of course you still get a ton of awesome bombs and highspots. But the sleeper work is probably the most memorable part of this classic match. Something I could see sneaking on and deserves to be looked at and considered.

No. First match I've watched for this project that didn't convince me.
I've enjoyed 3 out of these 4 workers in the JWP that I've watched, but this was awful long and didn't exactly deliver in terms of Devil/Chigusa interactions. Match had it's moments, but there was nothing substantial going on and they kept losing the crowd with the constant restholds. It didn't build credibly into it's length, they just went "well, still got another 5 minutes to go, here's a half crab". The sleeper hold spots where a nice touch but after 10 seconds it was clear they were killing time. Then there's that butchered sequence where Devil wants Plum to hit another suplex for whatever reason, and Devil letting go off her pin before Chigusa was kicking out. Whenever Chigusa's involved things gotta be melodramatic so a slew of big moves being thrown out before the finish was to be expected, I guess.

2nd this for sure. The hatred and interactions between Chigusa and Devil are a delight, and both Plum and Suzuki more than justify their inclusion in this match.
