The Ghastly Match

That is the name the now infamous match between Yoshiko and Act Yasukawa at World Wonder Ring Stardom's Queen's Shout event is known by. The match, which saw Yoshiko defend the company's top title, the World of Stardom Championship, against Yasukawa, seems good on paper. Yoshiko was a dominant monster and a protege of one of Stardom's founders, joshi legend Nanae Takahashi, while Yasukawa was one of the company's rising stars, having held Stardom's secondary championship, the Wonder of Stardom title, twice, and held it going into this match. This was also a match we were supposed to get earlier than we had, only for that match to be canceled due to Yasukawa suffering a Graves' disease flare-up. On top of all that, Stardom, founded in 2010 by longtime joshi promoter Rossy Ogawa, former wrestler Fuka, and the aforementioned Nanae Takahashi, is widely considered to have some of the top wrestling in the world, and you can count the number of genuine in-ring disasters the company has had on one hand. However, this match ended up being one of those disasters, and nearly a decade later, it's still a match that is considered one of the worst, if not the worst, matches in the history of wrestling.

There is zero concrete information about why this happened. Whether it be legit heat between the two or Yoshiko not liking the booking, there are a ton of answers that I can't verify. From what I've been able to find, it seems like a big part of the background to this match is the contrast between old school and new school values in joshi puroresu. Anyone whose seen the documentary Gaea Girls knows that old-school joshi training is intense and brutal, both physically and mentally, to say the least. That brings us back to Nanae Takahashi, who came out of All Japan Women's training classes (the same promotion that Gaea Japan founder & Gaea Girls subject Chigusa Nagayo graduated from, albeit 16 years apart), and has been considered to carry that tough mentality into Stardom. As I mentioned, one of the people who followed Takahashi's mentality was her protege Yoshiko, who was a brawling monster who wouldn't have been out of place taking on Bull Nakano or Aja Kong. Compare that to Yasukawa, who embodied the more modern style that Stardom is best known for. It's a combustible situation that combusts very quickly in the ring.

This match is now infamous, not just in modern wrestling, but wrestling in general. Even if you've never watched a minute of a Stardom show, you've probably heard about Yoshiko vs Yasukawa. And when I say infamous, I don't mean in the sense of the normal matches I cover here. This goes beyond bad wrestling, it's a horrible, beyond unpleasant experience. In fact, this match is so unpleasant that it actually holds the distinction of being the absolute worst-rated match on Cagematch.net, coming in at a 0.05 out of 10. This match is easily the biggest black eye in the history of Stardom. Now, if you've never heard anything about this match, you might be wondering "How bad can this actually be?" Well, let's get into this.

The match starts with a stare-down, with Yasukawa pacing around the ring while Yoshiko stands in the corner. Yasukawa slowly approaches Yoshiko before landing a forearm strike. Yoshiko responds with a forearm of her own, and just like that, the match is fucked. Yasukawa fires back with a punch which seems to connect with Yoshiko's face. Yoshiko responds by punching back, sending Yasukawa stumbling into the corner. This is where Yoshiko just lays into Yasukawa with very stiff, very real punches. The referee Kyohei Wada tries to break them up, but Yoshiko doesn't stop, grabbing Yasukawa by the hair before dragging her down to the mat with a headlock. Despite Wada's attempts, Yoshiko continues pinning Yasukawa into the mat, punching her directly in the face while Yasukawa can't defend herself. Wada even tries to physically pull Yoshiko off of Yasukawa, but she doesn't budge before Wada tries counting her out. Any semblance of this being an actual match is completely out the window. And yet, for some reason, it's still going.

Yoshiko finally backs away from Yasukawa and goes back to her corner. Yasukawa is in rough shape, bleeding from her nose, and with her face starting to swell up. Yasukawa crawls over to her corner, where her Oedo Tai stablemates, among them Kyoko Kimura, Heidi Lovelace (the future Ruby Riott/Ruby Soho) and I believe Kris Wolf, Hudson Envy, and Dragonita (not 100% sure on the last three) attend to her. I believe Wada asks Yasukawa if she wants to continue, and she says yes. The match restarts, only for Yoshiko to immediately walk over and grab Yasukawa by the hair. Yasukawa gives Yoshiko a few stiff punches to the face, prompting Wada to step in again, only for Yoshiko to again start pummeling Yasukawa with punches to the face. Yasukawa falls to the mat, but Yoshiko continues punching & clubbing her in the head and face. She finally lands a kick to the head, but Yasukawa quickly gets back up. I genuinely cannot fathom why this is still going.

Yasukawa goes for a kick, but Yoshiko blocks it and immediately drags Yasukawa back down to the mat. Yoshiko forcefully pins Yasukawa down and Wada starts to count, but Yasukawa gets her foot on the ropes. Yoshiko responds with a stomp to the back of the head. Yasukawa gets to her feet, and I don't know why, but this is where they start to pretend this isn't a complete nightmare and try working for a bit. Yoshiko whips Yasukawa into the ropes and knocks her down to the mat with a rough shoulder block. Yoshiko does the same thing a second time before going back to just stomping & kicking Yasukawa in the head & face. Yoshiko tosses Yasukawa from one corner to the opposite corner before putting her in a front facelock, holding it in until Wada forces her to break. That's the end of the wrestling portion.

Yasukawa tries to fight back with a punch, but Yoshiko immediately blocks it and throws Yasukawa down to the mat by her hair. Yoshiko pins Yasukawa's face into the mat and starts punching her in the back of the head. Yoshiko rolls Yasukawa over and stomps & stands on her stomach before Yasukawa rolls out of the ring. Odeo Tai quickly attend to her at ringside, and it's here we see that the right side of Yasukawa's face is badly swollen. Yasukawa tries to get back in the ring, but the rest of Odeo Tai  physically restrain her and keep her out of the ring. Yasukawa screams as she tries to get in the ring, only for Kimura to throw in the towel, mercifully ending the match. Wada raises Yoshiko's hand, but this match would go down, understandably, as a no-contest.

With the rest of Odeo Tai holding Yasukawa, Kimura charges at Yoshiko and attacks her, grabbing her by the hair. Wada, along with another referee who runs out, Yoshiko's Heisei-gun stablemates, Io Shirai, Mayu Iwatani, Reo Hazuki, and Takumi Iroha (not 100% sure on the final two), and I believe Hudson Envy. Kimura's very clearly emotional, while the rest of Odeo Tai takes Yasukawa, still screaming, to the back.

The Fallout

So, I've never done a section like this for any other Worst in the World, but in a situation like this, the fallout is something I didn't want to just blow past. So, here it is. Yasukawa was taken to the hospital following the match, where she was diagnosed with fractured cheek, nasal, and orbital bones. She'd be out of action for seven months, and would vacate the Wonder of Stardom title. Three days later, Yoshiko would apologize at a press conference held by Stardom, where she would be stripped of the World of Stardom title and was suspended indefinitely. Along with that, Rossy Ogawa, Fuka, and Nanae Takahashi would all take a 30% pay cut for three months, and Takahashi would actually leave Stardom soon after. 

What actually happens next with Yoshiko in Stardom is messy. Three months after the match, Stardom announced that Yoshiko would be retiring from the ring. The retirement ceremony ended with a ten-bell salute, during which Yoshiko would promptly leave the ring before it was even finished. Whether or not Stardom actually fired her (just with different language) or Yoshiko quit the company is up for debate. Even if brutally assaulting your opponent during a match seems like it would prime grounds to blackball someone from the business, Yoshiko returned to wrestling in March 2016, over a full year after the Ghastly Match, working in across various Japanese promotions. Her main promotion, SEAdLINNNG, was founded by Nanae Takahashi. And if you were thinking "Well, Yoshiko must've been blacklisted from Stardom at least", Yoshiko would actually return to Stardom for a single match in 2021.

Yasukawa would return to the ring in September 2015, but would end up retiring just three months later due to her injuries. Yasukawa would act as a manager for Odeo Tai for a few months after before leaving Stardom in April 2016. However, in the one positive bit in this story, Yasukawa was able to return to the ring in 2021. Since returning, she has primarily wrestled in the Actwres girl'Z promotion.
