the wildest thing about the ddt saki akai photobook championship reign has been learning that saki akai is 34, what the gently caress

it's cool that she has basically had, for joshi at least, a late career resurgence? seems like she was stuck in the ddt comedy undercard forever but with her french cousin in tjpw and eruption she's got a great thing going

She didn't debut until she was 27

She's signed with her talent agency. The UUG and Saki Akai are doing the same thing

Maki definitely is heading over to the AEW, part-time excursion or full time who the hell knows, but yeah highly doubt it's going to be this soon, not even considering the quarnatine but after the tourney in general. Already have a Joshi fighting the champ and trying to make a big deal out of her. Having the jobber she beat in the first round show up so soon doesn't look good for either of them.

Stardom's next two major shows are up against major NJPW shows which is slightly odd considering they're the same company. Their 4.4 Yokohama Budokan show is clashing sign Sakura Genesis and their 5.29 Ota Ward show is up against the Tokyo Dome show.

Watching the 13/2 Stardom from Korakuen and I'm finding it pretty off-putting how little they are using the hardcam. A lot of shots from one camera on the floor and it's a real strange aesthetic choice.

Watching the 14/2 Stardom on the phone waiting for a bus that never arrived, I gotta say that Kaori Yoneyama is great in her role. Her match against Lady C is just a very silly enjoyable match that had me laughing a lot. Like they go to do a test of strength at the start but Lady C is far too tall so Gokigen Death stomps on her feet, Bringing C to her knees. Where of course she is still too tall with her arms extended to do a test of strength. It's not revolutionary stuff but the timing she has is fantastic

Yoneyama is ridiculously funny no matter where she goes.

She brought the concept of a mid-match "recess" to ChocoPro, which was already extremely silly.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I would assume if Maki was coming to the States she'd still have to stay in a disinfected broom closet for two weeks. Even if the state of Florida seems to give no fucks about Covid, AEW in general is really cautious about it

The one season of fantasy football I played taught me that even things you think are sure bets often aren't but if it's something small like an avatar bet or something I'm down. Though if someone makes me use a Raku avatar for any decent length of time I may delete my account in shame.
