Dave interrupting his own UFC review to chime in about Yujiro's valet is amazing

Bryan got excited too.

Then I watched the show and got excited as well.

Those camera angles are bonkers.

The song in today's Bryan and Vinny is absolutely worth checking out if you haven't.

I don't listen to the Sunday B&V shows, could I have a timestamp for this song?

urghhhhhhhh NJPW's representation of women is so loving bad. Haven't listened to the show yet, but from the last few posts it sounds like Dave's okay with Yujiro despite his gimmick being incredibly misogynistic and his valets being represented so loving grossly. Yujiro can gently caress off, and so can Taichi while we're at it.

e: actually, while we're on this subject, https://twitter.com/wrestlingsexism/status/841434191636123648

Aren't his valets all idols or video girls or whatever it's called over there? Like they are professional sexy women...

The guys gimmick is pimp/sexy man. What is the problem?

Also I don't think Dave supports the gimmick as much as he was in awe of a very attractive woman.

I don't think anyone is saying that? There's a difference between "gently caress whores for dressing scantily" and "the only female representation on this show is either evil homewrecker or literal prostitute and it's kind of a bad look for the company"

"At least Maria is done with the company" is quite a different statement than "I wish Maria had been portrayed a bit differently when she was there."

Maria makes really good money doing what she does and some of the attitudes towards her are very similar to the attitudes toward Sable when people found out how much she made.

I was under the impression she had no say or leverage in the role she played in the company during her time there. That isn't exactly uncommon a situation. If I was completely off the mark with that, I apologize completely and retract my original statement.

yeah this reminds me of the Stroud thing when the "Give Divas A Chance" in some corners of the internet turned into "gently caress these dumb bimbos who get pushed because of their look", because no bad male wrestler was ever pushed because entirely because of his look

Women aren't in New Japan because they've proven they can draw on their own and don't need to be midcarders in a men's promotion in order to be relevant.

Because historically there are men's promotions and women's promotions in Japan.
