6 | 30.09.2024 | Dweeeab | 10.0 | The best way to describe this match is a frantic 1 hour sprint. The moves and speed these 2 were doing so late into the match was so impressive and kept me hooked through the whole thing. |

14 | 22.07.2023 | NewBreizhOrder | 10.0 | Manami Toyota is the greatest female wrestler of all time that is for sure and Kyoko Inoue is one of the best joshi wrestler ever! This match is one of my favourite joshi match in history, 10/10 is not enough ! |
15 | 19.07.2023 | GMS18 | 8.0 | One of the breezier very long matches I've seen with simply cool shit throughout. Not like an all-time great match for me but hey, it went an hour without losing much steam and felt ahead of its time. **** |
16 | 06.07.2023 | tommyyy1714 | 7.0 | Feels almost impossible to rate this, they went at a break neck pace for 60 damn minutes and it was incredibly impressive. Dangerous bumps from the opening minute to the last, super hot crowd but the selling left a bit to be desired and by the 30 min mark or so, the big high spots did wear off a little. Gotta applaud the performance though, truly insane stuff - ***3/4 |

23 | 10.09.2022 | vel | 10.0 | The best 60+ minutes match I've ever seen. Usually I'm not a fan of such undertakings, but here the time has passed unnoticed thanks to the excellently told story by the performers. For the first 40 minutes, Inoue could do anything with the champion except for her main moves. Toyota prepared superbly and reversed the Niagara Driver over and over again. The physical strength of these ladies is amazing. |

27 | 21.02.2022 | Mizzle Assault Ant | 1.0 | I respect the effort but by 20 minutes in I was ready for this to be over, and by 30 minutes in it felt like both wrestlers really wanted it to be over as well, they seemed very banged up and exhausted but trudged an additional 30 minutes to an awkward finish. Different strokes but for me this was just far, far too long for the content. One of the only AJW matches I've ever seen that I actually disliked. |

29 | 17.11.2021 | choreography | | Twenty-five minutes of action (and it is good action) stretched over an hour. Proof that longer is not better. |
30 | 07.09.2021 | The Beholder | 10.0 | I can't believe the pace they go at in this match. They never let up and throw everything they can into this match but they both refuse to stay down for the 3-count. Not even 2 Ocean Cyclone Suplexes can keep Kyoko down for 3. This is absolutely one of the most unbelievable hour long matches or women's matches I've ever seen. That said, I still don't know that I'd give it the full 5 stars. There's enough sloppiness to keep it under 5 stars for me, but there's no question as to its status as an all-time classic. I think it hurts this match that the WON gave it match of the year over the Misawa/Kobashi vs. Kawada/Taue match that I consider to be perhaps the best match I've ever seen. That fact alone has made this Toyota/Kyoko match one of the more polarizing in history. Some people love it, some seem to hate it. Personally, I loved it, but I wouldn't put it on the same level as that 6/9/95 match. I'm not sure it's even the best hour long match of 1995, which I would almost rather give to Kobashi vs. Kawada from 1/19/95, although that match has its haters too. Either way, I do agree to this match being one of the greatest women's matches and hour long matches of all time. ****3/4 |

40 | 07.10.2019 | TSwifty | 7.0 | This match might have the largest differential between the Cagematch user rating and the WON rating, and the icing on the cake is this won MOTY 1995 over the legendary Misawa/Kobashi v. Kawada/Taue tag match. Let's get some of the good things out of the way first. This is an astounding display of athleticism. To go 60 minutes and still be able to wrestle at a quick pace is quite the accomplishment. The crowd was hot throughout the whole. They quieted down from time to time, but they never zoned out too long. There's some terrific spots, like the top rope German and the trio of Moonsaults. But this match has a lot to dislike. The structure is pretty bad. This is far from 60 minutes of non-stop action, there's a ton of drawn out submissions and sequences. Going 60 minutes means there's going to be recycled offense, but the offense felt more recycled then most 60 min matches. How many Boston Crabs and Dropkicks can one person watch until it gets boring? There were quite a few botches and poorly executed moves too, which killed momentum. The transitions between the control segments made no sense either. Something felt lost in translation, perhaps the fact that i knew it was a draw took away some of my interest. As none of the plethora of nearfalls entertained me. This isn't a bad match. There's plenty of good wrestling here, the problem is staying awake to see it. ***3/4 |

43 | 25.04.2019 | Kas | 10.0 | This is just an absolutely insane athletic spectacle that has to be seen to be believed, as Toyota and Kyoko work a 60-minute match faster than most wrestlers work a sprint. Completely awe-inspiring with some insane bombs and cringe-worthy spots, put over the top by some fantastic selling in the last ten minutes. If you can overlook some structural issues and a scary botch halfway through the match that threatens to derail the match, you're in for one of the most remarkable feats to take place inside a wrestling ring. The ultimate work-rate match. (*****) |
44 | 30.11.2018 | FrenchDragon | 10.0 | Not their best match together but still great and entertaining for a one hour match. When we talk about women's wrestling, Joshi was the best aroud this time, that works for me. |
45 | 11.11.2018 | WrestlingGuru | 7.0 | As usual a very good showing from Toyota. A good back and forth bout where everything was tried. A good way to showcase the title. Really enjoyed this one. |
46 | 18.09.2018 | stilljre | 10.0 | A "what's it gonna take to put this person away? " match where they actually try everything, and it feels entirely real. Remarkable feat of endurance, strength, and athleticism from both wrestlers. Overall: 100/100 |
47 | 15.09.2018 | pikuchan | 10.0 | One of the best one hour match that I have ever watch. That top rope suplex spot looked immensely painful, to think those two women fought with that intensity for 60 minutes straight was simply unreal. *****. |

49 | 29.01.2018 | Blood Pump | 9.0 | Least I go and start commenting on others personal ratings, I'll simply stick to this absolute classic. The match starts really fast, and retains a generally quick pace throughout the 60 minutes. There's a lot of stuff that goes on in this match, but outside the first ten or so minutes it seems to go into a more free form style, with a lot of very lucha like rope stuff. The athleticism of both these gals certainly deserves praise. One of the earlier momentum shifters (and probably the best one) involves Inoue going for a springboard back elbow but being caught with a dropkick upon flying backward. There's a really excellent callback to it later in the match where Inoue tries for it again but this time is dropkicked while in the ropes, spilling to the outside. The ebb and flow of the match, as many have pointed out, seems off outside that first shift, but how often did either of these girls go 60 minutes without some grand lain out plan? There's a really insane german off the top turnbuckle early on that might've been the spot of the night, if not the triple moonsault (as a receipt to the triple elbows some minutes prior) that leads into one of the greatest 2. 9999 kickouts Ive ever seen in my life. Despite having specific targets early on (Inoue targets the back, Manami the leg) the only selling in this match is from exhaustion. This of course leads into a magnificent adrenaline burst near the end of the bout, in which Inoue kicks the crap out of Toyotas face and lariats her head off several times. There's a few botchy looking moments (particularly scary is the corner fumble near the mid point. That could've ended a lot worse then it did). Overall, while a few things kinda bugged me about this match (almost forgot to mention the table spot, which really did nothing and the table of course didn't break), there's enough going on from both these fine athletes to make up for most of it. Truly this was a memorable work of art. **** 3/4 |
50 | 04.11.2017 | smallupsetter | 8.0 | Hour-long matches tend to wear on me (like they honestly probably do anyone). That being said, it was an hour of almost constant action and a few spots that looked awfully painful. I have to give them credit for that. It was the least they could do to not fill the whole contest with a bunch of rest spots. Knowing the result of a 60-minute match ahead of time never really helps, but there really is enough to make it worth your time. |
51 | 09.10.2017 | sign squad | 10.0 | Wenn man den Vergleich zu anderen ***** Matches aus den Jahren 1993-1996 von AJW zieht, ist dies vielleicht das beste Match, wenn es um pures Wrestling geht. Es kommt aber nicht an die Emotionen der Kong vs Toyota und Kandori vs Hokuto Matches heran. - Definetly far from being **1/4. Only if you are not familiar with the wrestlers, the time and the setting. I know I should not take any of this serious but it is so very frustating. |

53 | 21.03.2017 | Jobbs | 0.0 | I saw that this was the WON MOTY for 1995 and after watching this match, I don't agree with that decision at all. Going 60 minutes on paper sounds alright but the way they executed it just didn't appeal to me at all especially the fact that it took place in Korakuen Hall and going 60 minutes there is never a good idea. The execution of this was just so bad, some botches happened along the way and then the transitions between control segments were just awful. The only good thing going for this was the hot crowd as the selling felt non-existent and this certainly lacked a story to it as well. To put it short though, it's one of the absolute worst matches I've ever seen. |
54 | 13.01.2017 | InactiveGuru | 7.0 | Good back and forth match, had a lot of good spots and exchanges. I just thought a few things were a little off (maybe it was just a bit dated) |
55 | 27.12.2016 | WhiteHummerDriver | 10.0 | Wenn man bedenkt, dass das Match 60 Minuten gelaufen ist, haben die beiden hier eine unglaubliche Workrate gezeigt. Klar, gegen Ende waren beide ziemlich müde, aber wer wäre das nach so einem Match nicht? Und trotzdem haben beide immer noch alles getan was sie konnten um die Geschwindigkeit und das Drama auf dem gleichen hohen Level zu halten. Das Publikum war auch das komplette Match voll dabei und die lauten "Kyoko" und "Toyota"-chants haben sich ständig gegenseitig abgewechselt. Die Nearfalls, auch wenn ich schon wusste, wie das Match ausgeht, waren objektiv betrachtet sehr gut und glaubhaft. Ich würde behaupten, dass ab der 25-Minuten Marke jeder Pin-Versuch nach einem großen Move ein glaubwürdiges Ende des Matches hätte sein können. Ein bisschen übertrieben fand ich, als Kyoko auch aus einem zweiten JOCS auskicken konnte, einem Move der normalerweise so gut geschützt wird, dass kaum jemand auch nur aus einem auskickt. Das Match hatte außerdem gute Psychologie und Matchstory mit Kyoko die das Match größtenteils dominiert indem sie Manamis Flugaktionen ausweicht und dann ihren Rücken bearbeitet. Der Kampf wogt hin und her während durchgehend die Zeit übers Hallenmikro durchgegeben wird. Etwas, das auch im US-Wrestling gemacht werden sollte, da es oft nur dann gemacht wird wenn tatsächlich ein Time Limit Draw ansteht, was natürlich jegliche Spannung tötet. Mit nur 10 Sekunden verbleibender Matchzeit versucht Manami nochmal den Victory Star Drop, aber das Zeitlimit läuft ab und Kyoko hatte sowieso einen Fuß im Seil verhakt um den Move zu blocken. Die hohe Anzahl an High Impact und High Risk moves in diesem Match war abgefahren. Deswegen hab ich auch lange versucht bei den Botches nochmal ein Auge zuzudrücken, aber einige waren dann doch zu groß und störend, deswegen nicht die vollen 5 Sterne von mir. **** 3/4 |
56 | 19.03.2016 | RaviC19 | 7.0 | I gave this match *** 1/2. Yes, the workrate is impressive but this wasn't a particularly exciting match, and it kind of faded away for me in the last 20 minutes. I noticed a few botches, and also thought the shit referee brought it down a bit |

59 | 02.08.2010 | Booker C | 5.0 | Lange Zeit war mir das Match 7 Punkte wert. Mehr nicht da dafür nicht fesselnd genug. Doch irgendwann zog sich das Match wie ein sehr langes Kaugummi. Durch die Nearfalls sollte jeder Zuschauer mitgerissen werden, aber für mich wirkten die meisten Nearfalls lieblos dahin geklatscht. 5 Sterne sind meiner Meinung nach nicht gerecht fertigt. |
60 | 14.10.2009 | Mick Funk | 10.0 | Ok, das Match hatte 2-3 üble upfucks, die allerdings zum Teil auch auf die totale Erschöpfung der beiden Frauen zurückzuführen ist. Zudem ist der Ref etwas seltsam, da er grundsätzlich für die 3 länger braucht als für 1 und 2. Wirkt manchmal gut, manchmal allerdings auch als würde er auf den Kick out warten, was natürlich schlecht ist. Ansonsten gibts hier eine hochspannende Schlacht mit sehr langer Matchtime, in der beide Kontrahenten immer wieder Kraftreserven mobilisieren um den Publikum noch etwas zu bieten. Man geht diverse Male davon aus, dass das Match jetzt vorbei sein muss, wenn es aber in Wirklichkeit noch lange nicht vorbei ist. Wegen der angesprochenen Schwächen vielleicht nicht die vollen 5*. aber 10 Punkte dennoch jederzeit. |
