This pit Hokuto and Yamada together against Bull Nakano and Aja Kong, after their incident earlier in the tournament. Before the match even started, Hokuto again attacked Yamada and the two argued about using the kendo stick again all throughout the match. Yamada and Hokuto lost. Yamada's second match of the night featured her facing off against a fresh Manami Toyota for the IWA World Women's Championship in a hair vs hair match. The highly rated match would become one of the more memorable joshi matches ever with Toyota defeating Yamada. After the match, Toyota cried and tried to prevent the hair cut and even cut some of her own hair in protest. The two hugged after the match while the crowd chanted. From October to December 1992, Yamada and Toyota teamed up for Tag League the Best 1992. The team finished in second place. On November 26, at Dreamrush, the precursor to Dreamslam 1 and 2, Yamada and Toyota defended their WWWA titles against the JWP team of Dynamite Kansai and Mayumi Ozaki in a 2 out of 3 falls match. The highly-rated match ended in a somewhat controversial finish as Ozaki appeared to get her shoulder up in time before the 3 count.
