10 Most Brutal Women's Wrestling Matches Ever

So insane were the events of STARDOM Queen's Shout in 2015, it led the two competitors involved to both step away from the wrestling business.

The two in question were Act Yasukawa and Yoshiko, and what played out was absolutely disgusting. While some of the matches featured on this list are violent by their very nature and design, Yasukawa vs. Yoshiko was a straight-up singles bout that immediately turned into somebody taken dangerous advantage of their opponent.

From the get-go, STARDOM World Champion Yoshiko hit her challenger with some very real punches that immediately left Yasukawa a bloody mess. The match quickly became stop/start as Yasukawa was checked on several times, but the larger, more powerful Yoshiko continued to take liberties with her opponent at every possible opportunity.

At five minutes of ugly brutality, the match was finally called off after pleas from Kyoko Kimura.

Act Yasukawa was left with a broken orbital bone, a broken cheek bone, a broken nose and a detached retina. She would vacate her Wonder of Stardom Championship, make a brief return four months later, then retire and return to the world of acting.

As for Yoshiko, STARDOM stripped her of the World Championship and suspended her indefinitely, with the wrestler herself walking away from the industry until resurfacing for the SEAdLINNNG promotion a year later.
