Remember when ricochet and Aleister challenged for all three sets of tag titles, and lost every time? The matches were breathtaking, the one versus the Viking raiders was match of the year quality. They were still losers who choked Why would someone expect pushes for them?

If they turn Miz and Morrison into zombies and have someone try to cure them I’d probably watch the YouTube recaps.

I know its WWE so wins and losses don't matter in their eyes but holy poo poo Asuka has fallen hard over the past ~6 months. Arguably year. Someone compiled her list of wins/losses over the past several years and its pretty wild to see how far she's fallen. Keep in mind until April, she was the RAW Women's Champion as well. Apparently the only women who have lost more than her this year are the Riott Squad. Everyone else has a higher win% at the very least.

MJeff posted:Man she was doomed when she stopped feuding with Bayley and Sasha, huh. It's pretty loving astounding that she has the second/third lowest winrate among all of the women on the main roster right now. It doesn't help optics that some of the more brokebrain fans out there keep insisting this is long term booking and when she inevitably loses to Alexa/Lilly she will bring back the facepaint and become an unstoppable monster again. Nevermind the fact that nothing came out of that earlier this year when she was squashed twice by Fiend Alexa except a serious loss of credibility.

People were convinced she was going to bring back the facepaint for Bayley and Sasha too, but I guess Asuka was just content with getting her title back and not like, avenging the career-ending injury of her friend.

Sega 32X posted:I mean she is almost 40, maybe she is winding down to put over new stars or whatever? She made no indication of her career winding down in a fairly recent interview, and I don't think age plays a factor considering she still looks pretty drat young on top of moving way better than both Rhea and Charlotte in the ring. I think it's pretty noteworthy that the Kabuki Warriors debuted on Smackdown, but immediately fell off the radar with Bruce's booking. But the moment they were moved to RAW, they got all the love in the world from Heyman. But now that Bruce is in charge on RAW, Asuka has rapidly fallen down the card again. If I recall, he's said some questionable things about non-white talents in the past as well, but I might be misremembering. DarkstarIV fucked around with this message at 16:41 on May 17, 2021 |

Age shouldn't be an issue as Asuka should be smart enough to work a style that won't make any physical limitations noticeable. I think that if anything WWE may look at her age and either wind her down, with no input from her, or maybe release her like they did with Mickie James who's around the same age range. (They won't release her but she's definitely being fed to others)

She's likely in WWE for life, because they probably know if they release her, it'll hit the women's locker room much harder than it did with the IIconics being released (Becky, Charlotte, and Naomi have all mentioned that Asuka is basically the locker room leader, along with someone that a lot of the women backstage feel safe confiding in). That's ignoring the fact that AEW would snap her up in an instant.

Those two seem to have the same ideas about asian talents not being great in spite of these same talents having a good track record outside of the wwe, that I wonder if it's a generational mindset.

No idea, but I did find this, and while it doesn't pertain to people of Asian descent in particular, it doesn't paint Bruce in a good light when it comes to that kind of stuff. https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/jvkdr3/while_on_the_subject_of_problematic_wwe_employees/

Asuka is rich af. She's there for the clout since the last japanese women's wrestler in WWE/F before her was like Dump Matsumoto. Or maybe Sumie Saki did jobs, I'm not bothering to look it up. Either way, WWE is a means to a much more fulfilling end post-WWE.

I remember a LOT of people were pissed off a year or two ago when she lost the title + how she was treated which I guess was a sign that she was respected a lot. And yeah, iirc Omega has said Asuka/Kairi/Io are like top of the top of his list of people he'd poach from WWE so expect none of them to ever be let go.

Asuka forever being done dirty when she's easily the most credible woman on the Raw roster as it stands. honestly the difference in speed between the Japanese ladies and the American ladies inside the squared circle is always noticeable to me. They look like they're moving so quickly compared to a lot of their competition (bayley and sasha are on that level of movement). Can't wait to watch zombie match high af and laugh my rear end off.

Oh boy. Charlotte getting angry about her booking again. On the angle with Lacey:quote:“It wasn’t so much about Lacey. It is very difficult with my dad. I had an extensive amount of time off for the first time ever in my career, I was eager and excited to come back and start fresh. I wanted to add layers to my characters as I felt stale. I wanted these changes. When my dad got brought into the picture, I was like man is 2021 and I don’t want to share the screen with my dad. I am Charlotte Flair now, I am not longer Ric Flair’s daughter, that’s Charlotte’s dad. I was like why I have to be on TV with my dad. Emphesis mine. Charlotte's entire career on the main roster has been a tribute act to Ric Flair, and its painfully obvious all of her title reigns are because of that. I seriously doubt she would be anywhere near as prominent as she is without being related to him, to be honest.

Having been eaten by zombies, maybe the plan is to combine the supernatural gimmicks and have Miz be Alexa's zombie muscle.
