Crush Gals are back together.... sort of. Hotta has been cycled down hard while a new push finally begins in Bull Nakano. With JBA on the verge of a long excursion, and many top mandatory retirements coming, this tag league was important establishing the next round of stars.

The Crush Gals are still broken up. It's Grand Prix time and after a slew of injuries, the tournament found itself in interesting situations. We saw the launch of Nagayo into official singles top push action as well as the attempt of Yumiko Hotta.

A show of injuries. Blood was spilled in the main event. Both Bull Nakano and Hisako Uno (Akira Hokuto) suffer bad injuries taking them out of action. This was a very interesting and historical show.

The Grand Prix begins with Masami and Nagayo rekindling their 1985 big match fire. 1985 Super Rookies of Hotta and Uno (Hokuto) continue their upward momentum by taking on top foreigners The Glamour Girls. However... in the main event Ohmori continues her reign of terror with the title and now she has giant golden shoulder pads to give her power.

It's the giant return hair match as Dump and Chigusa go to absolute war. The reign of Yukari Ohmori continues into total horror. Yumi Ogura proves to be one of the best mid-card talents of her era.

A double shot show within the week was a common play for AJW. One featured top of the company star Nagayo defending the White belt against a member of the Glamour Girls. The other was the recent Grand Prix winner in Yukari Omori trying to become the next top champion. Can the chop win her the Red title?
