She's not a pirate, she's a yachtsperson. Get it right, people! Complaining about JR repeating the same talking points again and again, but not picking up on them yourself, smdh.

I've literally heard her call herself a pirate. Although with her accent it it sounded like pilot which would honestly be a good gimmick for someone that jumps off the top rope.

I don't know why everyone keeps bring up Toni Storm's age as a plus when she already older than Sasha. I completely forgot how crazy young Sasha's been this whole time.

Yeah the little profile on the side if you google her says 26, but I don't know where Google sources those. It doesn't have the right month or day either.

drat, if she's 21 she's a bright prospect. I'm not as soured on Sasha as some people in PSP, so I keep thinking she can do a lot of wrestling and get a lot better if WWE doesn't break her spirit.

Yeah, the gimmick was that Burchill was just a guy deciding he wanted to be a pirate. The whole thing with Regal was trying to get Burchill to drop the pirate stuff, like you can see in the clip.

Vince didn't understand that at all and thought he should actually think he's a pirate.

It was also because Vince didn't get the pirate gimmick because nobody likes pirates, they aren't popular or good guys and wasn't aware that the Pirates of the Carribean franchise was a thing that was going on and actually popular.

I wouldn't. Kairi would probably be over even without the pirate gimmick (she's a super likable babyface, and she knows how to pander/appeal to people), and I don't see her coming up for a long while. Earliest I can see her being called up is the Smackdown or RAW following Wrestlemania next year.

Plus she seems super affable so I can hardly imagine fans not connecting with her and management not liking her (at least in the hosed up way WWE Management likes people).

Like legit, the worst thing I've heard about Kairi is that she...is dating someone??? And the only people who are mad about that are absolute shut-ins who hate that she isn't pure. :psyduck:

So in short, I don't think she has any skeletons in her closet, or she does a drat good job of hiding them.

Would actually lol if Kairi was some kind of monster or even just a fake. Spends hours a day leaving nice messages to her wrestler friends on social media.

There's literally nothing to get or not get with Kairi's pirate thing it's not really a gimmick? She just dresses like a pirate for her entrance that's it. It's a look.

Oh I know its not encouraged, I'm just saying. Also its not her Japanese fans saying this stuff. It's a handful of westerners who are mad that she's supposedly dating Shane Thorne (TM61 guy). My stance on the entire thing is: Who gives a poo poo? What goes on in a wrestler's personal life is none of my concern (or yours) as long as its not actively harmful to their career/health (see: Paige/Del Rio).

Shane Thorne? Really? Then again, I guess the two of them makes a little more sense than Nikki Cross and Killian Dain.

Still, in the end, who really gives a poo poo as long as the various couples are happy and treating each other decently? (again, see: Paige/DelRio.)

Kairi and Dakota are my favorites from the tourney. I hope they both get good pushes in NXT and eventually the main roster.

A lot of potential with Rhea Ripley too. She looks great and is only 20. She's not quite on Toni Storm's level, but not that far off of it. With those two being so young, there's a lot of potential for them down the road. Hopefully Toni can sign with WWE before too long, since she's got it all.
