The Queen of Villains (Japan)
This new biopic series reveals the untold story of Dump Matsumoto (Yuriyan Retriever, The Naked Director), one of the most disliked figures in Japanese wrestling history. She entered the ring as a professional wrestler in 1980 and went on to gain a cult-like popularity with her villain persona over the course of that decade.
During the 1970s to 1980s, female pro-wrestling tag teams like Beauty Pair (Jackie Sato and Maki Ueda) and Crush Gals (Chigusa Nagayo and Lioness Asuka) were national icons in Japan. Not only did they compete in wrestling matches, they also sang and danced in the ring. Then there was Dump Matsumoto, who entertained audiences in a dramatically different way: by being the sworn rival of the Crush Gals, wreaking havoc in and out of the ring, and making all of Japan her enemy — which whipped the country into a fan frenzy. As a result, Dump Matsumoto ignited a boom in women’s wrestling in the 1980s, turning Japanese female wrestlers into a cultural phenomenon that captivated the nation and dominated television screens.
Costarring in the five-episode series as the Crush Gals are Erika Karata (Arthdal Chronicles) as Chigusa Nagayo, who rose to stardom after beginning her career as a failed wrestling trainee, and Ayame Goriki (Black Butler) as Lioness Asuka, known for being the most athletic and technical wrestler amongst her peers. (Nagayo also worked on the show, leading the actors’ physical training and supervising the wrestling scenes.)
