Apparently Asuka is their example of why she shouldn't even tho Asuka was pushed about as well as WWE will push anyone

Asuka was pushed just so she could make Charlotte look strong.

probably knee stuff. I'm glad people are pushing for TUE stuff in their contracts so they can get around the bullshit wellness policy.

MotU is making a weed joke most likely. Io got busted for weed awhile back. She's clean now though.

Asuka is being advertised as having a match at Extreme Rules according to WON. Very likely a rematch against Carmella, to get her rematch clause out of the way, so they can start building towards Charlotte/Asuka II at Summerslam. :ssh:

You keep saying this like you know her

And you keep using the word "clean" like she's some kind of a heroin addict. It's just weed, and she's leaving the Weed Gulag Island so guess what, she's gonna be smoking that Orlando dirt

It's not that hard to find out. She's publicly admitted she's kicked the habit of smoking weed as she wants to focus exclusively on her career. I don't know how that means I suddenly "know her", when she's been very public about no longer smoking it, especially since it almost ruined her life completely (her words, not mine). I don't think she's going to go back to it when she moves to Orlando, simply because like it was brought up earlier, WWE is the place she wants to be. And they'll pop her for a wellness violation at the very minimum if she gets caught with it.

It might be that you will never top "adorable wrestler gets bullied and finally stands up for herself in an exploding bat deathmatch" as a storyline, so they are just leaving things as perfect and moving on.

If that's the case, I just wish she would've gotten her big blowoff with Hana. Most of that story was so much about Hana trying everything she could think of to kill Tam and to have the big blowoff feature Io (instead of Mayu) and Sumire (instead of Hana) felt kind of unsatisfying.

Also that news about Maho is so sad. Hopefully she takes the time she needs.

If the proposed BBC Scotland expansion goes through (it's been provisionally approved by the broadcasting regulator here) that could be interesting for ICW. They already produce a TV show, so it would be cheap programming to fill out a schedule and it would fit the mission statement of homegrown material, plus Dallas obviously has some connections there with this, the previous documentary and the reality show they're doing.

June is THE month when it comes if ICW and PROGRESS join the Network anytime soon. I've heard a third promotion a US-based one which is possibly the worse possible choice but that's a different matter.

Meiko has one of DDT's anywhere/anytime gauntlets that let her cash in for a shot against their champion at any time but can be lost by taking a fall to any opponent in any match in any promotion. What if Io pins her and takes the gauntlet to WWE?!

Not for nothin' but Tam's not half as good at wrestling as any of those four, and Stardom knows she's a draw whether she's getting pushed or not.

I picked up the latest issue of Shukan Puroresu, the one that has Io Shirai on the cover with accompanying interview (where she's very open about going to WWE), and I noticed something funny. Very rarely do I have a second angle on anything, but I seemed to take a picture of Momo Watanabe's victory lap right before the Shukan Puroresu picture was taken.

Also according to Mick Foley in Have A Nice Day, no one gets to keep their comically oversized trophies.

Speaking of Io, her match with Momo was uploaded to STARDOM World a few hours ago. Go watch it! It's real good.

It basically confirms the speculation that Io is leaving Stardom because she feels she's done everything she could there and she wants to grow by going to the WWE. She sees the success that Kairi and Asuka have had in their respective runs and sees them as rivals in terms of what she can do to succeed and how she can increase the visibility of women's wrestling as well as become a better competitor in her own right. Nothing terribly noteworthy as far as has been previously discussed but it does put into print what we had heard she was thinking.

The promoter is kind of a scumbag and multiple women have complained about him. Not to mention like half the roster up and quit the company a couple years ago. Lexi Fyfe also quit, and she was basically the co-founder of SHINE.

Florida Wrestling, in general, is a cesspool. I always worry for female wrestlers who move there if they aren't contracted to a major company or a partner of someone who is.

Also, wrestlers think moving there will increase their WWE prospects and that pretty much never, ever happens.
