Professional wrestling career
Early career (1988–1994)
Inoue was trained by famous Japanese wrestler, Jaguar Yokota. Inoue made her debut on October 11, 1988. From 1991 to 1992 she worked for CMLL in Mexico.
On March 26, 1995, as part of AJW's Wrestling Queendom Victory event, Inoue challenged Bull Nakano for her WWF Women's Championship - who had held it since Big Egg Wrestling Universe in November 1994.[8][9] Nakano retained at the 17:05 mark ahead of her anticipated title match with Alundra Blayze at Wrestlemania XI (it would instead happen on the April 3rd edition of Raw).
She has worked for many women's promotions in Japan.
