It's a drat shame Maki's got the outgoing personality and shitposting abilities because Miyu is by far the cooler member of the team. Peeps should be simping for her dammit

I’ve never seen Maki Itoh do anything and I’m sure she’s a nice person and all, but all this talk of simps and what not generally makes me think she sucks.

If you've got 20 minutes spare you can watch her match from January 4th this year against Miyu Yamashita, which was PSP's first MOTYC of 2021. She's a solid wrestler who has apparently improved a ton in the last couple of years, and she has a good enough grasp on written English to attract Western fans including other wrestlers.

Yep, their tag team offence is getting more and more convoluted as they get more comfortable in the partnership. But Miyu won't give up on kicking her, just like Maki can't stop with the friendly(?) headbutts. It's in their DNA.

Besides, standing right next to your partner at the start of the match is optimal headkick range, she'd be a fool not to take advantage

An interesting note was that Misawa approached everyone in the locker room personally, including Takashi Sugiura who was still a trainee & wouldn't actually make his debut in ring until December 2000, 6 months after the exodus.

Hasn't Kawada said in the past that one of the reasons he stayed with All Japan is that Misawa didn't ask him personally to leave, rather he went through Taue?
