Place in History - Aja Kong had an uphill climb in the world as a half-black, half-Japanese woman trying to make it in a sport that can has a limited success rate. After overcoming several hurdles, Aja Kong soon established herself as the premier monster heel. She formed a formidable team with Bison Kimura (Jungle Jack) in `90 and it was all uphill from there. Aja turned into an amazing worker, like across between Dump Matsumoto and Big Van Vader, only better. Blossoming into perhaps the greatest monster heel worker of all-time, Aja Kong was paired with many talented smaller workers, who she'd brutalize and some people more her, namely Bull Nakano and Dynamite Kansai.
