Place in History - The premier joshi heel in FMW during the Megumi Kudo years, Shark Tsuchiya played the big tough punk bitch well. What she lacked though was much ability, Shark had the look and to some extent the mannerisms, but she is amongst the worst pushed workers joshi has ever seen. She was the monster heel whom Kudo became great off of (largely because she had to carry Shark) and gave the rub to many newcomer heels. Some were good like Combat Toyoda, but most were pretty awful. But she did her job and did it as well as her (limited) abilities allowed. An important figure in the grand scheme of "women's divisions" as Tsuchiya was given a lot to work with and was the antogonist to one of FMW's best drawing cards.
