Noriyo Tateno

Tateno, along with Itzuki Yamazaki, entered the World Wrestling Federation in mid-1987 known as "The Jumping Bomb Angels". At the first ever Survivor Series, The Jumping Bomb Angels were the sole survivors in a women's Survivor Series match. During the match, they received large cheers from the audience and praise from commentators Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse Ventura, especially after they dropkicked Jimmy Hart off the turnbuckle at the match's climax. On January 24, 1988, at the inaugural Royal Rumble, they beat The Glamour Girls (Leilani Kai and Judy Martin) in a two-out-of-three falls match to win the WWF Women's Tag Team Championship. The Angels would reign for 136 days until June 8, 1988, when The Glamour Girls defeated The Angels to recapture the WWF Women's Tag Team Championship.
