Candy Okutsu is probably one of my favorite 2 wrestlers of all time, young Jake Roberts being the other. I've got a couple of video clips of her work in realmedia format for you. I'm glad I've got somebody else interested in her
. Her finishers she usually used were the Triple German Suplex & Moonsaults (also usually in threes). Of coarse, when she was Tiger Dream she had a BEAUTIFUL Tiger Suplex. Her suplexes rivaled Benoit in execution.
Clip 1 Rolling German Suplexes to Mikiko Futagami - Great clip, this was Candy when she was early in her carreer & took a lot of risks. That led to her having a bad back, which forced her to retire before her time. Her career led a lot of parallels to Jeff Hardy, I think.
Clip 2 Triple German to Yumi Fukawa - Yumi was her longtime partner & opponent, putting on incredible matches all over Japan. It also helped to draw in people that they were both
steaming hot
.
Clip 3 Series of three moonsault presses to Mikiko Futagami - What else is there to say? THREE MOONSAULTS IN A ROW. Nuff said.
Clip 4 Mikiko Futagami gives her an X Tornado followed by a Kentucky Bomb - Not only was she a marvelous technical wrestler, but she could also take some sick-ass bumps. I think some american
male wrestlers would shy away from those 2 moves...
Finally, her Tiger Suplex.
Thanks for listening to me ramble, I feel better now
