I have seen Kikutaro's face and I don't know how to feel about that

Probably the same as Kana, tbqh

Could be something to do with him naming Britt Baker on commentary during the Wargames match. In the post show conference call:

Wasn't one of the Highlanders fired for getting filmed by TNA at a show?

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Asukas shocked reaction to him taking off his mask to eat was what made that video.

Also his response the first time.

"I think I saw something I am not supposed to!"
"It was just your imagination"

Kikutaro is cool and good.

But seriously, they are friends in real life, so I am pretty sure Asuka has seen Kikutaros face many times.

I could see the m trying to deflect by saying "We don't want to get Britt it trouble", when the actuality is "You idiot, people are going to look her up and find out about the other company now!"

kikutaro is her husband but they kayfabe it quite well. especially toward people in the wrestling community who you'd think would know best; they believe otherwise the most. the more you know about them and japanese wrestlers in general, the more you believe otherwise, even though it's true. they even have a fake guy who very few people know about and claim that he's asuka's husband, for those who are able to dig "too" deep. it's actually just deep enough for that trap.

They wanted to show her to try to cause trouble for her but they didn’t want Mauro to acknowledge her.

Mauro was tweeting before the show that he was having some trouble mentally but was gonna try to keep it at bay for the show. Maybe he crashed afterwards and closed his twitter for the time being.

a lot of people with similar personality traits to mauro will go through and block people who follow or are followed by someone else they blocked. tends to help them feel a bit more secure on there. i got nothing against it unless that person is on there being a shithead to begin with but can't take it back toward themselves

I watched the Showtime doc on Mauro a few days ago. It seems harrowing and exhausting to be him. I can't imagine trying to live life with his condition. I was always a fan, but it really endeared him to me. Hope he's ok.

He’s started to teeter on the line of self parody or trying too hard which is the exact same kind of thing that happened to Matt Striker and Corey Graves. Yeah, they were super fans and entertaining at first but completely and totally got so absorbed in themselves and quickly turned to lovely announcers.

He seems like a nice guy and I empathize on a very personal level with his mental health struggles but I watched a clip of him screaming "Holy Bleep! Holy Bleep!" when Kevin Owens showed up and he deserves to go to jail for that.

I like Mauro the person a lot. I begrudgingly tolerated him as an MMA announcer and can't stand him as a WWE announcer. WWE just encourages all of his bad habits and he's too focused on the next wacky thing to say.

he acts that way out of an unbearably strong desire to be accepted and liked. he works hard on his references and stuff, thinking it's funny or fun to others. you can dislike his work and talk about that here but please don't be mean toward him directly

I do not know this Mauro fellow or his works. But he sounds like somebody who could use the occasional 'You are awesome' chant. And also a hug or six. And therapy.

I think Mauro is a good announcer. My only complaint is how he always seems to be at an 11 and doesn't have lulls in his commentary. It's like, he should be working up to big moments. Dude calls a headlock like its a finisher at WM.

I don’t know how to start this and I can’t speak on other’s behalves. I can only speak for myself and what’s in my heart. I don’t know many rumors and honestly try to stay away from everything, obviously 😅. But here: nobody made me leave. AEW took my career to new levels and I’m beyond grateful for every opportunity and experience that has come along the way and wish nothing but the best. It’s a great group of people who truly love wrestling and just want everyone to succeed. I’ve always tried to be a good person but I make many mistakes along the way. I needed to get my mind, body, and soul right with God. I wish I had the answers but the truth I don’t. We all go through obstacles in life and we may want all the answers but we don’t need them. It’s God’s plan and he has shown me what’s truly important in life and to find a blessing in every moment because in the blink of an eye, everything can be gone. So instead of bashing, let’s just love one another and appreciate what we have, or something like that lol sorry I’m awkward.

I’m torn on Mauro a lot of the time because the references are groan worthy but everything else is very good. At the end of the day, in a company with graves and Lawler, I find it hard to be too critical of Mauro. For me, he adds more to matches than he takes away from them.
