Former WWE tag team The Jumping Bomb Angels have set their sights on a WWE Hall of Fame induction in 2026. To kick off the new year, the duo of Noriyo Tateno and Itsuki Yamazaki announced on social media that their New Year’s resolution is to gain enough fan support for induction, encouraging fans to sign a petition in their honor.

Here is what the petition states…

“The Jumping Bomb Angels, a legendary female wrestling tag team from Japan consisting of Noriyo Tateno and Itsuki Yamazaki, were pioneers in the world of women’s professional wrestling. Debuting in the 1980s in All Japan’s Women’s Pro-Wrestling (AJW), they quickly captivated audiences with their high-flying maneuvers, athletic prowess, and unparalleled charisma. Their influence on international wrestling is undeniable, and their groundbreaking performances paved the way for future generations of female wrestlers.

Though their time in the spotlight was relatively short, the Jumping Bomb Angels left an indelible mark on WWE’s (formerly WWF) women’s division. Among their most memorable accomplishments was winning the WWF Women’s Tag Team Championship at the inaugural Survivor Series in 1987, defeating The Glamour Girls (Leilani Kai and Judy Martin) in what would become a series of classic matches. Their innovative wrestling style and teamwork set new standards for excellence in women’s wrestling.

Despite their profound influence and contribution to the evolution of wrestling, the Jumping Bomb Angels have yet to be acknowledged with a rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame. Inducting them into the Hall of Fame would not only honor their remarkable achievements and contributions to the wrestling world but also recognize the historical significance of international stars in WWE’s rich legacy.

Join us in urging the WWE to right this oversight and celebrate the Jumping Bomb Angels for their unparalleled contributions to the sport. As they celebrate their 40th Anniversary, let’s give these trailblazing women the recognition they deserve and ensure their legacy endures for generations to come.

Please sign this petition to support the induction of the Jumping Bomb Angels into the WWE Hall of Fame and help cement their place in wrestling history.”
