Matsumoto got into the business in 1980, where she immediately made a name for herself through sheer brutality, being quite a bit bigger than most of the girls in Zenjo at the time, and more than willing to utilize it to her advantage. She first got a taste of championship gold when she pummelled Lioness Asuka for the AJW World Championship, culminating in a six month feud between the two. But their battles were only beginning, for when Asuka joined up with Chigusa Nagayo to form Crush Gals and ascend to the top of the promotion, Matsumoto happened to pick up a couple of friends as well in Bull Nakano and Condor Yuu, culminating in the creation of the Atrocious Alliance, who immediately took the promotion by bulldozing pretty much everyone they could get their hands on, and catapulted Matsumoto to the top of AJW's card as it's premiere Monster Heel and evil leader, terrifying japanese youngsters all over the country with her ever escalating level of violence.
Finally, she came into the sights of Crush Gals, where both she and the Crush Gals entered the pinnacle of Japanese professional wrestling by drawing ratings well over 10.0 across the country. She solidified herself as one of the great heels of Japan in her first hair vs. hair match against Chigusa Nagayo, where she once again battered her opponent senseless, and even cheated to win, leaving thousands of fans openly weeping as they watched their hero get her head shaved. Nagayo however, got her back in the rematch, and the match is still considered one of the best of 80's AJW. Their feud finally came to a head at Tag Team The Best in 1986, where even then, she managed to come out victorious, but the Crush Gals were finally able to defeat her individually throughout the year. She officially retired from full-time competition in 1988, where she has since made sporadic appearances at reunion shows and major milestones for her career.
Matsumoto provides examples of:
- Arch-Enemy: Chigusa Nagayo by a country mile. She relished any opportunity to beat Nagayo to a pulp any time she could.
- Card-Carrying Villain: She reveled in beating up on the Faces of AJW with pleasure.
- Celebrity Endorsement: She lent her name and likeness to the arcade game Goukaku Doumei Dump Matsumoto, which became known as Body Slam in the west. Tragically, the home console version on the Master system doesn't feature her.
- Delinquent Hair: She had pretty much every possible variant throughout the 80's: dyed hair, teased hair, wild hair, a mohawk, and finally a mullet before her time in AJW was up.
- Garbage Wrestler: She was infamous for her use of picks, kendo sticks, and scissors, particularly on the ropes, and her opponents bled heavily for it. If a ref got involved? Well, he was just as much a target as anybody.
- The Heavy: One of the largest girls on AJW's roster, and filled that role as well as The Leader among the Atrocious Alliance.
- Hellbent For Leather: A prominent part of her look during the 80's
- Important Haircut: Her hair went from a Bright Orange bob to a Blonde mohawk/pompadour when she created the Atrocious Alliance, and heralded her becoming even worse than she already was.
- Makeup Is Evil: Matsumoto actually has a rather kind-looking face, so she typically wore garish looking makeup as her career continued on, often including swastikas and whole depictions of dragons, oni, and goblins on her left thigh just to make sure you knew damn-well that she was a bad guy.
- Signature Weapon: Her Kendo stick, which she usually brought to the ring.
- Stout Strength: She isn't actually that tall, and so she relied more on her overwhelming strength and weight advantage to ragdoll her competition, which she did with aplomb. When that didn't work, she'd begin cheating immediately.
