Actwres is a very good portmanteau/pun, tho

So probably some sort of insurance loophole, I guess?

Arisa Hoshiki retired from wrestling to leave Stardom, became a singer under the name Udon Sato, and then recently joined Actwres Girl'z under the new name Arisa Hoshiki, spelled differently in Japanese than it was spelled in Stardom.

lets just say i have some theories

Her promotion is Action Ring Girl'Z (ACTRING) for short. It's similar to Actwres girl'Z but there is no wrestling so they do not Actwres, only act.

Oh, I remember her! She did that cool Brazilian kick, didn't she?

So they ACT like they're fighting. Philip J. Fry, his eyes narrowed.

If you want to really push your logical thinking to the limit, Action Ring Girl'Z recently had an offer match action scene at the start of an Actwres Girl'Z Korakuen Hall show so try to figure out what that performance should class as within the kayfabe of Actwres Girl'Z as a pro wrestling company.

Her pinned tweet is her clamoring for recognition from Cornette while doing Cornette face, so people don't have to look.

This reminds me of somebody on Twitter being huffy about Punk and saying "what about how Vince ALLOWED him to buy his house!"

(Although going off JJ Dillon's book on how Vince would want people close to him to move to his upper-class Connecticut area and buy a house for which they could not afford BUT Vince would let them take out a loan with Titan, oh so generously, Vince does in fact sometimes allow people to buy houses.)

There is also the story of them having a deal with a real estate agent in Florida who gets people in development to sign for houses that will take ages for them to pay off so that they become dependent on the company. It's really twisted.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
If NJPW had 85% of the western fan base of AEW they'd have been doing cartwheels.

One side effect of NXT dying, even the gimmick accounts cant even spin it well and their niche itself is dead in the water.

That is the exact response I was hoping to find but had to give up looking for because Mike tweets too much to sift through it all. Thank you.

One Mike tweets too much, the superior Mike tweets too little :(
