Las Cachorras Orientales - A Tribute

[Ringmistress]

Hey, it's benn a while, but I've been busy. Anyway, since Mima Shimoda called it a career last month, I thought it was only fitting to witness one of her and Etsu's best moments, the cage match with Kaoru Ito and Tomoko Watanabe back in September '97. I heard it was a literal bloodbath, so I'm pumped to pay tribute to this amazing lady and the team she helped create.

While I wait for my Rage in the Cage tape, let's look back fondly at some other great LCO moments... For me, a great LCO moment is the little things, like on Big Egg when Michiko Nagashima (from LLPW) had Mima in a submission, then she moved back towards Etsuko, who smacks Michiko upside the head. Body language is something the Cachorres excel in. Let's hear some of your fave LCO moments.

Great choice Ringmistress that's the match that made me an LCO fan for life. When you watch it pay close attention to their faces I can't think of a better example of selling with your facial expressions than this match. Really the only way it could have been better is if they had Ito escape before Watanabe but I guess they had to get her out first because of her shoulder anyway back to your question. The first moment that popped into my head was from late 1999 in Arsion when they were wrestling Akino and Hamada. Aja Kong and some of the other workers were out cheering for her girls but they are getting a terrific beating. Both of them were bleeding and the blood is getting on Mima's hands when she wipes it on Aja's sweatshirt. Terrific match but I can't remember which show it was on.

It was on Carnival ARSION 1999 and was probably the match of the year.

I will agree of all my favorite matches with LCO, the cage match with Kaoru Ito and Tomoko Watanabe back in September '97 sticks out as my favorite. And Ringmistress it was just your average everyday cagematch bloodbath (LOL)

I'm very interested in the "Rage in the Cage" match. Is that the name of the event because I would like to purchase it. Where is a good dealer to acquire it from? Thank you.

Well, I got mine from prowrestlingtapes.com, but Jeff Lynch has it too. Quite a few people actually. Quebrada has it too, I think. At some sites it goes under the name "Kawasaki Cage Lgegnd", but most has it under Rage In the Cage. The only thing you need to remember is the date - 9/21/97. With either name, it's the same show. Hope this helps.

Thanks alot, I'll track it down and you were very helpful.
