It was part of Emi's early adventures in America where she was trying to figure out how to order stuff from Amazon. This happened during one of the times Mei was in the US (I think her first time?).

I remembered incorrectly, and it wasn't Tupperware containers, it was Ziploc containers. She needed 12 of those small Ziploc round Twist 'n Loc containers, which came 4 in a pack. She misunderstood an Amazon listing, and instead of ordering three 4-packs of containers to get her 12, she ordered from a listing which was selling three boxes of 24-count (so each box was six of the 4-packs), so she ended up with 60 more containers than she needed.

https://twitter.com/EmiSakura_gtmv/status/1465113965697150978

She would later find a way to get rid of her extra containers by having a special Christmas sale on the ChocoPro store where you could buy a "Killer Queens" package that was an autographed cheki and a ChocoPro chocolate, all inside a signed Ziploc container.

https://twitter.com/EmiSakura_gtmv/status/1469186392580313088

While this was supposed to have arrived in time for Christmas, due to a combination of Emi not knowing how to use the US postal system, and her getting busy with wrestling stuff, people didn't get them until way later. Like mine didn't arrive until February (around the time of ChocoPro #203), so not only did it have two chekis of Emi and Mei from Mei's time in the US (which was around ChocoPro #180), there was also a cheki that Mei was in from ChocoPro #200, so who knows how the timetable was looking regarding stuff being sent out. I think I saw some people not getting theirs until like July.

Why would Cody ever leave AEW he basically founded the company based on how much he hated his final days in the WWE to the point he even did a stupid throne breaking entrance about it

Cody was the one that many people figured would be the first to go back to WWE from AEW, and it a lot of that is firmly centered around Dusty Rhodes, Dusty's relationship with WWE, all the things that come with being the son of Dusty Rhodes, and the perspective Cody got as he got older and spent time away from the WWE.

If you look at some of the interviews he did, his leaving WWE, helping start AEW, and then going back to WWE becomes a lot less surprising.

Even the throne breaking thing becomes less surprising because it goes from a generic "taking a shot at WWE" to getting the feeling that it's some cathartic working some poo poo out for Cody because of the built up resentment he had against HHH for calling the wrestlers that Dusty was training for NXT "Dusty's Kids" during a time when Cody was struggling to find his own place while also not getting any training from Dusty, and also not wanting to say anything about those wrestlers because they were thriving under the training from Dusty.

Cody isn't a good measure for how other wrestlers would react to an offer from WWE, because other wrestlers don't come with the same kind of baggage towards the WWE that Cody did.

This starts off really scary and then I'm super impressed with how they have the body control and strength to actually slow down so the landing isn't as gnarly as I thought it would be. The one taking the move looks like she got in perfect position to take it on her shoulders.

Yeah Big Hash is really loving strong and German suplexes are kind of her thing, so she knows how to do them without completely annihilating the person on the receiving end.

It's because it's all pepper extract rather than actual pepper. I haven't had Da Bomb, but I had Mad Dog 357 which is also extract. It's one of the grossest sauces I've tasted. Complete battery acid flavor.

Pepper extract is the stupidest poo poo. It's a waste of food to put it on food because it's hot for the sake of hot with negative flavor. Whenever I see people willfully putting that garbage on something they're eating I can only think that they're doing it because they desperately feel the need to prove something to someone.

At least Hot Ones acknowledges that it's only there for the reactions and nothing else instead of whatever cope the dipshits that buy it try to say.

TBF, Mei is a tiny goblin who is shorter than nearly everyone and will bask in the very few situations where she's not. Like that time against Shoko.

Also TBF, a lot of joshi are just really short even when compare to what average would be for Japan; when Haru and Runa debuted for TJPW, I was amused by the fact that they're as tall or taller than like half the roster and they are literal children.

Saying that Emi's problem with Giulia is because of IR and not mentioning the time where Giulia tried to sneak diss Emi in an interview because Emi was critical of her hair vs hair match with Tam (as in questioning the purpose of one in this day and age because it's an outdated trope for women) which resulted in Emi making a nearly 2 hour long response video straight up titled "To Giulia from Emi Sakura" makes that reporting kind of suspect.

one time she brought a suitcase back from Mexico/the US filled only with Monster energy drinks. I thought it was absurd until I saw a Korean do basically the same with American snacks. The stuff we take for granted

With TJPW at least, it's become a tradition/thing for people visiting the US (i.e. usually Maki) to bring back Rice Krispies treats for people, because they're banned in Japan (because the additives added to Rice Krispies are banned/regulated in other countries). I think Kamiyu was the one that introduced them to everyone in the first place, and Kamiyu usually bugs Maki to bring back Rice Krispies treats.

Arisu bought a big box of them at Target when they were out for TJPW Live in LA, and when DPW went to Japan for their crossover with Gatoh Move, they brought another big box for Arisu since it was also her birthday.

Likewise circling back to my earlier question on inclusivity; wrestling in the United States has seen members of the LGBTQIA+ community such as Nyla Rose and Anthony Bowens become champions on National TV. However, Uganda passed the Anti-Homosexuality Act last year, are you one to challenge the rule and does it have an impact on what you want for SGW?

Everyone has a right to live their life the way they want. As SGW, we are a non-discriminative organization that only focuses on talent development rather than one’s gender, sexuality, or whatever they choose to embrace.

There comes a point where you have to ask yourself whether the information you're choosing to share with other people is particularly useful or helpful in the grand scheme of things and whether or not we need to know so much about the lives of others and in my humble opinion "The top heel of the Ugandan backyard wrestling company staffed by orphans is not a very progressive person" feels like the line.

Edit: Like, obviously, those are some vile tweets. I'm not disputing that. gently caress all that. But there's so much context to consider here culturally that there comes a point where it feels like tilting at windmills.

Your line isn't my line.

I care about wrestling a whole gently caress less than I care about not letting massive pieces of poo poo get platformed and popular.

And what loving context is there to consider? You know what's going to make people a lot less interested in the underdog Ugandan promotion? Trotting out the dipshit playing a colonizer gimmick who's openly and gleefully racist and phobic and has been for years.
