This isn't the worst take

Serious question since I don't watch WWE: who would be better modern comparisons to explain to a casual fan?

Miu is still kind on that rung below Yuka, Miyu, Shoko & Miu's tag partner Rika. Maybe even below Mizuki who has at least held the POP belt even if the reign was hampered her challengers being Itoh, Kakuta & outsider Sawyer Wreck before dropping the belt to Yamashita.

I'd honestly go more with a 4 Pillars comparison, with Yuka Sakazaki & Miyu Yamashita being Misawa & Kawada, which I guess makes Shoko Nakajima Kobashi & Rika Tatsumi Taue? I don't know.

I meant if you were trying to explain to someone who only knows WWE

I feel like Miyu isn't really Roman because he's his own thing. Maybe Nakamura since he's still kinda strong style?

And Miu is like, IDK, LA Knight?

Miyu to John Cena isn't a terrible comparison but if Miu got pushed as hard as Randy did I wouldn't spend half my waking hours being mad at Tetsuya Koda.

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


Miyu is the Ace. When she's not the champ she's at most one step away from number one contendership. In AEW she would be Moxley. In WWE... poo poo, I don't know. Seth Rollins?

Miu isn't quite on the same level but she's a special attraction. Great and physical and the crowd really appreciate her. Top of the midcard stretching into the main event credibly. In AEW she'd maybe be Cesaro. In WWE... maybe Gunther if they actually pushed him?

the workers rights line was out of line because he hadn't cleared it with Punk, but presumably Punk cleared calling him an empty headed dumb gently caress at the scrum so it's fine

I would honestly and truly be interested to pluck Roman Reigns out of WWE and see how a match between him and Kenny Omega would go. I wonder how his style would work if he was fully on and trying outside of the WWE bubble.

Who even are these people? The only problem was the weird cut out, which was explained slightly by the brawl coming to the ramp, and Nick's mom being a bad actor, which is FINE

that segment was awesome and I laughed so much

They must not like fun (or like the one whiner in the comments, that Nick Wayne is too small to wrestle :shrug:)

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Nick Wayne's youth reminds these people of their own mortality and eventual death. It frightens them.

It’s true, this was way worse than Mark Henry loving Mae Young and her giving birth to a hand or HHH dressed up as Kane loving the spaghettios out of dead Katie Vick’s skull
