TV Zombie posted:How did Bate burn them? If I recall, he got caught up in some drama on twitter. He apparently cheated on Toni Storm, and it wasn't exactly...pretty. It's less burning them from a PR standpoint and more from a maturity standpoint. I think Hana is mostly grounded in real life, but WWE is probably gunshy still.

I thought it was something to do with him bringing people to the WWE hotel when Raw was in town. Unrelated to Tyler Bate, but Meiko Satomura has been added to the number one contenders match for the KO-D Openweight Championship in KO-D.

Whatever wrestling Hana needs to improve on, her character work is really good and she makes a deliciously evil heel that has far and away the most personality on the Stardom roster.

Yeah, which is why its very likely she'll be picked up by WWE the moment she turns 21 and is out of her Wrestle-1 contract. If she can become somewhat fluent in English, she would probably do very well in WWE, even on the main roster. Especially since they seem to love heels like her. They would have to tone down a few of her mannerisms (she wouldn't be allowed to give people the bird anymore), and polish her ring skills, but she has a lot of potential. Not to mention if she's ever mishandled/mistreated, Vince runs the risk of pissing off Kyoko, who would probably kill him.

Anyone doubting Hana can go in the ring should check out her matches with Mika Iwata from Sendai Girls this year. https://rutube.ru/video/0a04bb10778796a00ecd67af4144c1f3 https://rutube.ru/video/4a7a18041051c639fed2752d036448f8 The second one was really great and probably slightly overshadowed by being followed by Io vs Meiko but it was really loving good.

https://twitter.com/ifyouseekcasey/status/1000151394106658817 Really happy for Isla. Talent but kinda hasn't gained a foothold in the US or UK as splits time in both being Scottish and being the girlfriend of Orlando based Alistair Black. Killer Kelly is someone gaining a name in Europe quickly primarily due to her performances and wXw and a bunch of UK and Irish fans travelling to and watching their shows in Germany. https://twitter.com/ifyouseekcasey/status/1000157716478865408

Just a heads up, but Bradcat (guy who follows a lot of the joshi scene and lives in Japan) is covering the Io Shirai Q&A right now. The most important thing revealed so far is that Jungle Assault Nation should be pronounced as JAN instead of JOHN. https://twitter.com/bradcat/status/1000339384674144256 I don't expect anything earthshattering to be revealed during this Q&A since WWE tells people to not reveal if they've been signed or not, plus if she has signed, its likely WWE springs the "surprise" (Dave, and others would likely find out beforehand and report on it) on everyone during the Japan tour.

https://twitter.com/we_are_stardom/status/1000676772948541440 Also in STARDOM fan community reaction news to Io possibly going to WWE: They think WWE won't sign her because "she's not marketable at all, and doesn't have much of a character". Even if she clears medicals.

DarkstarIV posted:What is Free Agent Flowcharting? I'm not familiar with it, sorry! when a player's contract expires for a team and they choose to sign with another team, fans of the previous team will all declare he sucked anyway and the team is better off without him. of course if he chose to resign with the team, he's a valuable asset who will be key to victory in the coming year.

That's the STARDOM community in a nutshell pretty much. They turned on Kairi once they learned she signed with WWE. Claiming she was old and was a falling star. I mean that's besides the fact that WWE would love to toot their own horn about having one of the best female wrestlers in the world under their banner. And the fact they have so much money that signing Io wouldn't even leave the smallest of scratches in their newfound wealth. Like its okay to hate the WWE. But don't turn on the talent who decide to sign with them. And WWE will sign people with no personality/shoddy character work, and usually find something in there, at least in NXT. Main roster is a different beast. I mean there's also the fact that apparently when Io was over there trying out last year, she apparently really impressed HBK and Undertaker. And most of the coaches there as well. DarkstarIV fucked around with this message at 14:01 on May 27, 2018 |

That’s some high level crack those people are smoking. All I know is, watching Io/Momo live was one of the most awesome things I’ve experienced in quite some time and I’ll support Io wherever she goes.

Are there videos of the tryouts? I kinda want to see what Io did to impress HBK and Taker.

TV Zombie posted:Are there videos of the tryouts? I kinda want to see what Io did to impress HBK and Taker. Videos aren't uploaded. But several sites reported that Io impressed both of them at her last tryout. Odds are it has to do with her athleticism. No other female wrestler comes close to her when it comes to that. That being said, some people have uploaded tribute/video compilations of some of her feats. Of course, it being a tribute package means the audio choice is...questionable to say the least. The second video is 8 months older than the first, by the way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgauZj6BEN0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OniONrJPN4A

I've seen Io shoot before, its like watching a cat juggle a mouse. She's not quite at Yano Toru's level but she's more than capable of making people do what she wants in the ring. I don't know how well that will translate in WWE's world. Io's smarter than doing obvious stuff unless WWE puts her in a position where she feels she has to torpedo her way out. Lke Kairi, Io will smack a person real dang hard because they hosed up and almost injured someone, but Io won't apologize about it afterwards.

But it wasn't the most amazing tryout field either: http://www.diva-dirt.com/131894/international-female-stars-partake-wwe-tryout/ Someone who was at the PC DM'd me saying that Io was the standout of the tryout in this tone like it would be an honest surprise to me or something. Like Shirai eeked it out or something.

Though, it could also be a Stardom gaijin, which could be Viper, KLR, Toni or a few other people. My guess is Toni. Go RV! fucked around with this message at 16:34 on May 28, 2018 |

Hana is likely out (due to Wrestle-1), so its possibly Mayu. Or Tam. They've shifted the spotlight away from her lately.
