-------

The first set of videos come from an all-women's promotion in Japan, Arison
Hyper Fighting. And all these focus on American wrestler Cheerleader
Melissa. No particular reason why I picked all Cheerleader videos other than
it was a convenient theme for this Rap Sheet.  For some reason just after I
started writing this rap sheet Arison's own website went bye-bye.

Cheerleader Melissa 5'8" 135lbs. Los Angeles, CA vs. Mariko Yoshida 5'4"
140lbs. Hiroshima, Japan - This match was held on August 29, 2002. The

cheerleaders outfit. They trade insults to start, then waistlocks into the
ropes. Mariko's got a spider on her chest and a web on the back. Full nelson

effect, armdrag Melissa. Slam, elbow Melissa gets one. Headlock by the

two! Melissa is hurting, Mariko gets a schoolboy for two. Mariko gets a
backslide out of a neckbreaker attempt for two, then a double crossface, got
both arms stretched and yanking on the head and neck. It turns into a
hammerlock, then Mariko gets another submission hold on, leg scissors on the
head with both arms locked together pulling on the neck and it's too much as
Melissa taps! In one of the few words I could understand by the
commentators, this hold is called "The Final Destiny". Several women enter
the ring to check on Melissa, including TE Taylor. Mariko comes over to
shake hands but Melissa will have none of it and starts slugging away but is
restrained. Sheesh, sore loser. Lots of mat wrestling in this one, the WWE
ought to take notes, and when's the last time I've seen a women's match with
this high a rating?

WINNER: Mariko Yoshida submission -> 14:00 mins. ***¾

I don't really bother with vignettes, but decided to look at this for the
heck of it, even though it's all Japanese commentary.
http://video.clickwrestle.com/videos/misc/melissaarsionfood.asx The wrestler
known as GAMI is running around town with Taylor and Melissa. Unfortunately
for GAMI, they end up stopping at every restaurant to chow down different
dishes. They flash a graphic of how much yen is being tabbed, and much to
her dismay GAMI ends up paying for it all handing over her wallet to the
very last cook in the video.

Cheerleader Melissa 5'8" 135lbs. Los Angeles, CA vs. Bionic J 5'5" 165lbs

The cheerleader's home fed is All Pro Wrestling so let's look at some more
matches featuring this woman wrestler.

Man vs. Woman
Cheerleader Melissa 5'8" 135lbs. Los Angeles, CA vs. "The Bomb" Robert
Thompson 5'11" 261lbs. San Jose, CA - Man I never like the idea of putting a
woman up against a man in the ring. Melissa does some sort of mock, Thompson
says he's a nice guy (apparently he was the one who trained her) and says
something like everyone can beat him up for what he does to this girl. Man
what a small facility this is, the ring takes up nearly the whole room and
there's only one row of people against the walls. Lockup, Melissa is pushed
into the corner. Lockup, Thompson slaps her on the rear. Thompson points to
Melissa's dad, another lockup and Melissa slaps him on the rear. Another
lockup, waistlocks, then Melissa with a trip. Thompson rolls out, back in

shove, shoulderblock Melissa and an armdrag. Crossarm breaker Melissa, who's
HALF the weight of Thompson keep in mind. Thompson forearms her off, shove,
run of the ropes, drop kick Melissa and armdrag. Armbar on the mat, come on
Thompson isn't even TRYING to get out of this. He finally gets up, whip and
Melissa gets caught in a spinebuster...ouch. Thompson shakes the arm, slam,
rear chinlock, shot to the head. Thompson slugs her in the head, elbow, now
he chokes her with a foot. Thompson with a slam, drops an elbow, then the
lower leg and gets two. Forearm shot Thompson, to the corner, whip, takes
too long to charge and gets tripped. Flying headscissors from the top by
Melissa, kicks and chops away, whip reverse, VICIOUS clothesline by
Thompson. Thompson slugs away but Melissa fires back, whip and a clothesline
gets two. Thompson went down even though there was no force behind that.
Small package Melissa gets two. Melissa tries to pull him down to the mat,
Thompson with a roundhouse shot. Thompson with a backbreaker, airplane spin
into a neckbreaker and pins her. Melissa is slow to get up, case in point
why I don't like man vs. woman matches, can't stand seeing a man beat up a
woman. Match wasn't great in itself, slow and I couldn't take some things in
the match too seriously.
