4. The Jumping Bomb Angels Versus The Glamour Girls
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JphPnczSojI Having already been the heel Women's Champion at Wrestlemania I wrestling Wendi Richter, Leilani Kai's importance to the history of women's wrestling was obvious. However, couple her with veteran women's wrestler Judy Martin as "The Glamour Girls" and put them in the ring with the All Japan Women's promotion tandem the Jumping Bomb Angels (Noriyo Tateno and Itsuki Yamazaki) and wrestling mania of another type ensues. The foursome wrestled numerous times throughout 1987, including matches at the Survivor Series AND Royal Rumble. Women's wrestling in 1987 that's so good that it deserves PPV highlighting and an almost year-long feud? Amazing and groundbreaking, too.
