Had a WWE try out as well. If she is like any of his other trainees she is pretty good to great with the basics.

At OZ Academy, Aja Kong challenged Hikaru Shida to a match before she leaves Japan so I guess that's the main of the Shida farewell show.

E: actually they decided to tag against Mayumi Ozaki and a partner of her choosing.

RISE lowered their streaming service's subscription price to $3/month https://rise-wrestling.com/2019/08/25/subscription-to-riseascent-com-ios-and-android-apps-now-only-2-99-per-month/

OZ Academy drew 2137 people to Yokohama Bunka Gymnasium yesterday main evented by Mayumi Ozaki vs. Hiroyo Matsumoto for the Wizard of Oz and Blast Queen Championships, which means they've probably put on the biggest joshi show of the year once again unless Ice Ribbon does a big number there in two weeks.

For context that's a bigger number than AJPW pulled with Kento Miyahara vs. Suwama in that building.

I'd recommend the match if you enjoy overbooked spectacles. Oz is my favourite promotion so I'm biased but it was one of the most fun matches I've seen.

Something is up with Stardom's English translator. @we_are_stardom hasn't tweeted in 4 days and @sonny_stardom has been deleted.

The most recent responses to it were in May so maybe it's been gone a while.

I think he might have deleted it after the whole Israeli fan debacle because the last tweets are related to that.

Is Rossy a creeper or sleazeball?

GEORGE W BUSHI
Jul 1, 2012

The new Stardom got uploaded and the promos are clearly machine translated so I guess Sonny is gone. It's a shame because as much of a massive weirdo he is, the translations were good and he got the characters across well.

Pinche Rudo posted:

Sleazy businessman who has no qualms about taking advantage of his roster to appeal to the creepers in order to fund his true passion of bringing over his favourite old luchadores for a show once a year with the profits from his photobooks is the sense I get.

Rossy is a greedy little weirdo and he’d have better English penetration if he hadn’t been paying Kris Wolf peanuts the entire time.

I wouldn't, they definitely approached a friend of mine who makes wrestling youtube videos about doing stuff for them, but wanted him to stop doing his own videos on his own time and said they might pay him if he did a good job for a few months

jesus. when I say jesus i'm putting forth the feeling of flabbergastedness. The flabbergast feeling. About working for a few months to prove that you deserve to be paid a wage, without even documentation to make sure that proposition would be held up on their end. i bet it wouldn't. and I'm not Saying it would be ok if the bargain was honored. It's still very flabbergasting.

i feel like stardom is probably quite good in ring but a certain creepy vibe to the thing puts me off from watching it also my preferences run to large butch women with crazy facepaint

Like, I kinda get it, because obviously your priority is going to be all the folks who come to shows and drop a hundo-plus once or twice a month (or more) vs. the howevermany World subscribers giving you just shy of ten bucks, but it sounds like Sonny's still on the payroll*. I can't fathom what they need him doing badly enough to take him off of this.

Either way it feels like they were deliberately trying to expand their overseas reach and then dropped this all of a sudden. Deeply weird.

* Until someone finds the tweets/reddit comments, I guess, because if there's one thing Japanese companies hate it's airing internal dirty laundry. I feel for the dude but it's pretty bad he can't turn off his need to flex being inside the company even now

Maybe they think if they drive off all the foreign fans with shoddy machine translations they won't get a situation like they did with the Israeli fan during Golden Week.

That makes sense for the live shows, but not for the streaming platform. If the majority of the users of your platform are presumably there because you have subtitles, don’t loving kneecap that.
