Akira Hokuto and Shinobu Kandori vs. Gokumon-to (Aja Kong and Bull Nakano), from AJW Queendom 1994

Ah, yes, MURDER, my favorite pastime (note to police: this is not a confession or other admission of guilt, y’all never gonna catch me for nothin’). It’s saying something that the one addicted to ripping arms off is the least-scary worker here, and there’s a good twenty minutes or so of unbridled carnage that was on par with the best joshi. I’d even go as far as to say the below score would have been much higher without the stretches where everyone goes for submissions, which takes far too much time and doesn’t really go anywhere. Frightening but engaging violence.
