Watch the princess cup. Itoh is legit loving good. And she has inexplicably become my favorite kind of wrestler, its amazing. She is just a hard brawler type with vicious submissions now and it rules. Judging her based on working soft in the US is gonna result in a complete misidentification of how good she is.

I wanna watch more itoh matches. though from the few i've seen, jesus, please do less headbutts. you are going to give yourself cte.

She got a lot better after she started going viral and taking wrestling a lot more serious. She's twice better than she was when she was in AEW and that was six months ago

The difference is that, unlike Shibata, Maki Itoh knows that wrestling is fake.

That's cool.

Imagine the deals he can get with a good product.
Having a prejudice against ex-Impact guys is dumb. A whole lot of AEW have worked there, and they have a lot of talent AEW would be lucky to get.

Late to the Karl meltdown but I 100% agree with him, Vince has gone on record saying that he owes his wrestlers nothing and pays for rehab and therapy strictly to avoid bad PR when a wrestler dies of an overdose or kills themselves.

They're the nastiest chops in the company. Before the women's title tournament I had no idea she could hit that hard. Queen Emi rules.

Worked for Brother Love and Johnny Ace, will work for Bill Demott. This is no laughing matter.

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.

This is so beautiful we should hang it with the other kids drawings.

At this point Bill DeMott serves the important purpose of introducing trainees to the abusive bullshit that is WWE so they can do the sensible thing and quit early.

I know Johnny Ace and Brother Love have had little to no impact on WWE's PR but if they can bring those two back then they can definitely bring back DeMott. They seem very eager to regress as a company.

Vince is taking WWE back to the era of divas and immobile muscleheads, what makes you think he gives a gently caress about PR shitstorms or cosmic dunkings for maybe possibly rehiring a shithead bully to help train rookies
