Baron Corbyn posted:Are you guys sure it's not going to be an actual name Stardom talent? Because I know you got to build hype and stuff but saying you're "very excited" and have it be Xia or Chardonnay seems like you're setting people up to expect Io or Mayu (realistically Io is the only name most people will really know though) and then disappointing them. Apparently Io has no interest in working in Women of Honor. Dave reported it awhile back, but the word going around was that she felt like working for them would damage her chances of getting into WWE. It also doesn't help that she would be working with people like Mandy and Kelly who almost paralyzed her. But yeah, its likely going to be Xia, considering she is a full roster member for STARDOM. Io inducted her on camera. That being said, I'm pretty sure Kairi called in a favor or something to get her in as a full roster member as well.

ROH has had a string of really awful women's matches. With wrestlers I like, even. Its wild. Sometimes it feels like the booker didn't give them a match time until like 5 minutes to the bell. In Hana's ROH match, she looked terrified, like poo poo went south or something. Other times poo poo just looks sloppy. Missed holds, scootches during turnbuckle spots, stuff like that.

Konami was signed onto the STARDOM roster full time. Also the Io vs Momo match will be the main event of this Wednesday's show at Korakuen Hall. I am pretty confident there is a title change coming. https://twitter.com/we_are_stardom/status/998157921946025984 It's worth noting that Count 2.99 has Io scheduled for a Q&A next week on Friday as well. And she has nothing booked past mid June at this time. Including STARDOM stuff. I'm most likely looking into it too much (I am like 95% sure of that), but I wouldn't rule out Io's last match being on Wednesday, or the start of her farewell tour. She'll probably announce she signed with WWE or something during the upcoming Japan tour if that's the case. DarkstarIV fucked around with this message at 14:04 on May 20, 2018 |

I missed Kairi’s farewell, and it will be awesome to see Io at least once in the proper environment. Apparently Nao Yamaguchi is also missing Wednesday’s show under the advice of her doctor, which makes two who will not be on the original card. I haven’t seen word yet who will replace them.

Meltzer dropped this about the match too https://twitter.com/davemeltzerWON/status/995940669645455360 I've no idea but I am aware of WWE making some other swift/quiet signings between now and July. Secrecy is the ethic of the day. rovert fucked around with this message at 17:54 on May 20, 2018 |

I am at Korakuen Hall as I speak. I’ve seen one of the JAN shirts here, and it’s not so horrible in person. Looks like a home printed shirt from someone’s first day learning Illustrator, but I wouldn’t laugh at them for wearing it. I got good seats too so there is a non-zero chance you might see me on the recording.

By the way, the Drop Kick On My Devil collab was silly and awkward. There were some fun bits but for the most part, they were playing to a crowd of otaku and I don’t like anime so I kind of tuned out. Also it went on way too long. Mayu Iwatani slapping people around with a fake snake tail was cute though.

TV Zombie posted:I wonder if Karen Q will be getting a look for the MYC. While I wouldn't rule it out, I think its more likely they use Xia Li again this year if they have anyone represent China. I think the only country that is questionable is Japan. If Io doesn't get cleared, I imagine Mayu Iwatani will probably be picked up. I remember reading that WWE sent a talent scout to Supercard of Honor during Wrestlemania weekend just to see Mayu wrestle live. However, she doesn't have the WWE look which is why I'm skeptical. But I would expect names like Nixon Newell, Rhea Ripley, Toni Storm, etc to be in it. The only question is how far they will go. Toni will almost certainly go to the finals at the very least considering she signed a WWE UK deal. Although I can see her losing to someone who has signed a full time deal.

The elimination tag was wild affair but really turned up the HATE in the finals between Tam and Jungle. Really played up the friction between Jungle's crew and the rest of the STARS. Great stuff.

Great stuff. I was watching that match and felt Kyona was just owning that ring. Maybe it's her working heel, but she seemed like she had a lot of fire. She's really come into her own in the past few months, and I'm really glad they're giving her a push. I'm hoping that JAN ends up a bit more heelish, because Kyona needs that edge to be not just a happy babyface. Right now, I buy her against pretty much anyone that's not Kagetsu or Io.

Hana is contracted to Wrestle-1 until next year, and she's only 20 right now. WWE doesn't like to sign anyone under 21 these days since they've been burned pretty hard in the past when they have.
