Career

After dropping out of high school, Rie Nakamura joined the Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling Dojo, where she was trained by Tarzan Goto and Megumi Kudo. She debuted on December 22, 1990, on FMW's first all-female show, losing to Keiko Iwami, who also made her debut. After paying her dues for over two years, she finally began to move up the ranks. In August 1993, she became known as Nurse Nakamura, portraying a sweet registered nurse. She was initially paired with former IWE veteran Mr. Chin, who was periodically wrestling comedy matches for FMW, due to his diabetes. She would (kayfabe) help examine Chin's condition.

In February 1995, Nakamura joined Shark Tsuchiya's Mad Dog Military, turning heel, and became Bad Nurse Nakamura (the name was influenced by Bad News Allen). Upon turning heel, she adopted kumadori paint and wearing a short kimono. On March 30, 1995, she defeated Megumi Kudo in a decision match to win the unified FMW Women's Championship. She would hold onto the titles for over a month, before losing them to Kudo on May 5. After a year and a half feuding with Kudo, she quit the Mad Dog Military in August 1996, turned face, and changed her name to simply Rie (stylized in all capital letters). She did not have much of an impact since turning, so in 1998, she left FMW after nearly eight years with the company.

After leaving FMW, she became a freelancer, alternating between her Bad Nurse Nakamura and Rie personas as she choose. She would wrestle for Gaea Japan, Oz Academy, NEO Ladies, and Onita Pro. However, a back injury forced Nakamura to retire in June 2000.

Retirement

After retiring, Nakamura remained active in pro wrestling. In 2001, she was a part-time trainer for Oz Academy. In 2004, she was an assistant manager for Kensuke Office. She was also a coach for Osaka Joshi Puroresu, most notably training Sawako Shimono.

Outside of pro wrestling, Nakamura has been running a hotel in Osaka since April 2008.[2]

Championships and accomplishments
gollark: Well, you can ask people to not put irrelevant random images in, but they'll probably do it for some stupid reason, and it's good if they can at least be mildly more efficient about it.
gollark: There's JPEG-XL or something, which will apparently allow *lossless* higher-efficiency representation of existing JPEGs. Very exciting.
gollark: Consider all those annoying mostly irrelevant images in articles. Those don't really need to actually be very high quality, and if you can lossily compress them to 20KB or so you can really shave off loading times.
gollark: Although vector graphics would often be nicer, they're not always practical.
gollark: It's perfectly fine for other things where you can get nice small images with little perceptible quality loss.
