Beautiful Wrestlers: Down for the Count (美少女プロレス 失神10秒前 Bishôjo puroresu: shisshin 10-byo mae) is a 1984 Japanese film in Nikkatsu Studios "Roman Porno" period. Directed by Hiroyuki Nasu.
Megu (Natsuko Yamamoto) enrolls in an extracurricular girls' wrestling club, but things aren't quite what she expected. She soon learns the club's training program includes humiliating sexual submission to the senior female wrestlers and that the club's finances are secured with the prostitution of the girls to the members of a nearby all-male wrestling club. Megu's life is further strained when a rival wrestler Shinobu (Kaoru Ada) shows interest in her new boyfriend. This tension erupts at a no-holds-barred wrestling match. Megu's strength is pushed to the limit but she has a secret weapon—superhuman strength whenever she removes her tampon.
Director Nasu shot "Beautiful Wrestler: Down for the Count" to fulfill contractual obligations with Nikkatsu before moving on to Toei.
