AJW Region, Round 1 # 8 Sherri Martel vs # 9 Leilani Kai

[Bernkastel]

# 8 Sensational Sherri Martel vs # 9 Leilani Kai

This match will take place in Kyoto, Japan

1.) Not a popularity contest, tournament based on in ring skills

2.) Will rules of a region come into play (All matches in this region will be subject to Joshi rules and regulations, not WWE's or TNA's, please keep that in mind)

3.) Will the crowd be a factor

 

[Bernkastel]

See now this is a good match, a good old school match. Both these women were phenomenal in their day, both have held the WWE Womens championship, both were household names in the 80's, and both were known on an international level. This is one of the harder matches to predict, especially if you haven't seen anything by either lady (which highly suggest that you do before you decide to vote.)

I would say, factoring in primes, as well as overall skill level, I would say that Leilani Kai takes this. Sherri was a good wrestler, but she didn't have a diverse style like Kai did. Kai could brawl, mat wrestle, fly when wanted to, and she was a power wrestler at heart. Leilani was the complete package in her day, and she wasn't limited to one or two styles like Sherri Martel was. I'd vote Leilani Kai to take this.

Oh jeeze this is the hardest match up to vote in for me because I really think both were fantastic back in the day. I love Leilani's styles when it came to wrestling, I love her swagger and how she really sold her character when she was wrestling, and the matches that I have seen of Leilani's are very good. On the other hand Sherri had unbelievable charisma, and I definitely think she beats Leilani on that, but overall Leilani, as Ech said, is the person to vote for because she really was the complete package. As much as I adore Sherri, Leilani gets my vote.
