How did one girl become hated in Japan and whip everyone into a frenzy? Developer, writer and producer Osamu Suzuki has formed a powerful tag team with Supervising Director Kazuya Shiraishi to create this semi-autobiographical drama that tells the untold story of Dump Matsumoto, whose charismatic popularity whipped up a whirlwind in women’s professional wrestling in the 1980s. At a time when pro wrestling was at the height of an unprecedented boom that gripped Japan, how did Kaoru Matsumoto (played by Yuriyan Retriever), a young girl who dreamed of the ring, turn into Dump Matsumoto — the target of an entire nation’s anger and the most famous heel in its history? Follow the lives of girls who were once nobodies, witness the sheer excitement they sparked, and discover what these wrestlers, who fought with all their might through a bygone era, are asking us in the present day.
