>Io Shirai is better than Asuka.... People actually say this.

>>2633497
Asuka coulda sold it still but shat in her face with that reaction

>>2633497
Auska >>> Io > Kairi

Auska triggers 1 /asp/ neet into a shoot. But real talk Auska is THE best female wrestler in the world hands down and one of the best wrestlers in the world period. Io and Kairi are good but not on her level. Meltz is crazy rating them as high as he does.

>>2633515
You keep spelling Asuka wrong, you stupid mark

>>2633497
Neither is better than the other. They're different wrestlers and both do their preferred style very well.

No.

>>2633507
>Io misses her kick by 3 feet
>Asuka should have pretended it connected
This is why wrestling is dead. WWEbabbies literally think like this. The wrestlers should have sold it and just cringed their way through the rest of the match.

Kana laughs, that gets Io worked up, so she kicks the shit out of the knee instead. Muh psychology.

>>2633515
Asuka is mediocre as fuck and would get exposed hard if she worked with the best Joshi women. She only looks good next to WWE shitters

>>2633507
sold that? she was in a different post code m80

>>2633497
Io is much, much better than Asuka. It's like comparing Balor to AJ Styles.

>>2633497
This is really funny gif and exactly how Kana should have reacted being the older of two and mentor to young and flippy Io. If Mio was there holding the leg, she would have probably gotten up and slapped her sister silly and then put poor other girl in something even more painful.

>>2633573
Yeah, it was awesome. Those three were great. I would love to see Asuka interact with Io if Io is in upcoming tourney. I would mark the fuck out of them exchanging glances and Asuka protecting her title and Io smiling at her and touching the title.

>>2633551
Who?

Am I crazy or does that not look like what they meant to do? It looks like a comedy spot.

>>2633648
Or give me Konami with Asuka. Or Syuri... current Syuri against current Asuka... salivating.

>>2633692
They turned a botch into a comedy spot. It was meant to connect the first time. The rest was her trying to cover it.

Professional in some sense, I'll give her that.

>>2633692
Io botched the drop kick. And Kana laughed in her face. She was the mentor, the older one. Io is like 18 or something like that in this. Maybe younger. She started wrestling 16 years old with her sister Mio.
Mio is now married with a child and retired. And Io just had her 10 year anniversary from debut.

>>2633695

Fair enough. Good on them for reacting quickly, 'cause I honestly couldn't tell the difference.

There is a reason they are both considered in top10 women wrestlers nowadays. And being in top50 of all wrestlers in the world. Both of them are fucking entertaining in their own way. Unkillable Ace Io Shirai and I-am-smug-as-fuck-and-you-cant-do-anything-about-it-I-dont-even-need-to-speak-english-you-filthy-merican-pigs monster Asuka.

>>2633720

She and 2 other Sendai Girls won King of Trios in Chikara last year. Also this year (or at the end last year) she debuted in England and when it was announced event sold out immediatly.

Anytime she has a big match inter-promotion she sells tickets, because people want to see her.

Outside of box office success (and she sells tickets, no doubt, you can't take it away from her) she is really great in the ring. I don't know if you watched her, but she is maybe coasting now, but when she was growing her prowess she was fucking awesome.

Nowadays, she does the greatest hits, as does every wrestler who doesn't need to try to get over, who already is over. But when she needs to put over some young protege (Chihiro is good example) she will try her hardest.

These are the same weebs who said Asuka was the best female wrestler in the world before she signed with WWE. They're also the same ones who said Nakamura and Styles were the best but now say Omega is better than both of them.

As soon as these women start picking up fans in NXT they'll start saying they're shit and move to the next Jap girl in line.

>>2636332
No, those are not the same people, those are different people who are trying to get you to like someone you haven't watched yet. Those people who said Asuka is the best don't need to say it, cause you already know how good Asuka is.

If those are same people then they are hypocrites.

No. People are saying Io is better than Asuka because she actually is much better. This has been generally accepted among 'weebs' for years.

Meiko and Io are the 2 best women's wrestlers in the world right now and it's not even close. They're interchangeable at 1/2 depending on your personal taste.

>>2639154
which ones? And what you want to learn? Do you want links?

>>2639162
Which one is actually signed on? What is all the hype about?

>>2639212
Actually signed is Kairi Hojo.
In Stardom she has a Pirate Princess gimmick, she has a yachting background, so it fits her.
You cannot imagine better wrestler at being white-meat babyface, who is so good at taking beatings, screaming in pain and pulling through. When is someone beating on her, you want to believe in her, you want her to win, because she sis so good in pulling you in.
Her signatures are beautiful Diving Elbow Drop, you can find lot of gifs of it. Other moves are Flying elbow (my image), double stomp (like Del Rio's), spear, backhand slap (she bloodied Mika with it) and sliding elbow. She also uses lot of cops, her being Kenta Kobashi's fangirl.
Outside of matches, she has great comedic timing and is genuinly likeable. And she losves pro-wrestling and you can feel it in everything she does in the ring. She loves it and she wants more of it.
She doesn't speak great English, but she is better then Asuka. A lot better, she is also younger, not much, she is the oldest of Threedom in Stardom.
Watch her in upcoming Women Tournament in July, she is great.

She is not in discussion for being best in-ring perfomer, but she is certainly better then most of western women,there are only few who can be said are good as her. But she is more complete package. She is fun, cute, likeable and can go in the ring. And her moves look beautiful.

More than Bayley/Cena?

>>2639264
Hojo could be fun, but with how NXT has booked Asuka in such a boring way but get away with it because muh Full Sail, I don't have high hopes especially if Hojo's going to be the one to end her streak/title reign. Also is it true that Kana was infamous for being really difficult to work with in Japan, or is that a meme.

>>2639264

Pls post kairi elbowdrops

>>2639309

More than Current Bayley. I'd compare her to an NXT Bayley with better acting ability.

>Cena
I honestly have no idea how to compare these two
>>2639321
>"it true that Kana was infamous for being really difficult to work with in Japan, or is that a meme?"
99% a meme. If there's any truth, it'd be because she refused to deal with any of the carny shit promoters tried to pull. In 2012 she publicly called out Wrestling New Classic for not paying talent when she left.

>>2633497
Was it a shoot?

>99% a meme. If there's any truth, it'd be because she refused to deal with any of the carny shit promoters tried to pull. In 2012 she publicly called out Wrestling New Classic for not paying talent when she left.
Based.

>>2639332
Yeah, then and than are kinda problem for me, I suck at those two, with English being third language I learned.

>>2639321
It is meme, she went and done that infamous promo which was a work to get her more bookings, but in the end, she burned lot of bridges.
And difficult to work with... she didn't want to job. Same with Meiko today or Hiroyo, they job only after long story or to someone they have investement in.

And by the way - boring booking was neccesary. There weren't any women ready to take the belt from her. They could have hot-shotted it on someone, but you would have hated it more. Now anyone who finally beats her will have be putted on higher level than anyone else. But to be honest I like the way she is booked, I like dominant champs who are being sold to me as best of the best all the time, not them being underdogs and overcoming the odds.
I like asskickers more and Asuka is the exactly what I like.

>>2639396
Compared to what she was making in japan and the indies, wwe is paying her a fortune. The E booked her stronger than Goldberg. She would kill a nigger in cold blood if Haich asked her to. That includes jobbing and putting over Hojo.

>>2639396
>And difficult to work with... she didn't want to job. Same with Meiko today or Hiroyo, they job only after long story or to someone they have investement in.
Nothing wrong with that attitude if they're willing to do the job in that way. It helps elevate both if done right.

>>2639407
Yeah, I would love if NXT crowds started chanting her name sake way they chant Goldberg.

And you are correct, anyone who pins her will be overnight star. And if she gets more and more heelish, it will be even better. People will still cheer her, cause she is such a fun monster to cheer, but she can be cocky and outright evil.

And she can have her cheers even if she ever moves to main roster (which I doubt). I think she will be the cornerstone of Network exclusive women only show. She can hold the belt until end of the tournament and drop it to the winner of the tournament, whoever that will be.

(only thing I ask - give her a throne... even better throne of skulls)

>>2633497
>>2633515
<3<3<3 °~°<(Yes plz, Kana)

>>2639321
>Also is it true that Kana was infamous for being really difficult to work with in Japan
Earlier in her career, yes. She was seen as having a bad attitude and a big ego. Some people also hated working with her because she was too stiff and reckless. This is the main reason Asuka never worked for Stardom, as one of the co-owners hated her.

Asuka sorted her shit out years before leaving Japan though. She got safer, stopped hurting people and stopped taking herself so seriously.

>>2639445
>She got safer, stopped hurting people and stopped taking herself so seriously.

Yeah, she basically grew up and stopped being teenage cunt. Being adult sometime does it to people. Or rather - being adult and having responsibilities and doing real work does that to people. If you don't grow up, you are forever cursed being cunt and asshole.

>>2639309
Kairi is lovable without being a cringeworthy, pussified bore like Bayley. Much better. WWE don't like their babyfaces to have some badass fire to them though, so I expect Kairi will be watered down.

So do I. It's been a really good title reign. The matches are fun and Asuka has the aura of a legit champion. I'm a sucker for a slow burn heel turn too and they've been building to hers since last year.

I didn't expect monthly 4* matches or any other unrealistic stuff so I haven't been disappointed at all. There's only so much you can get out of shitters like Billie Kay and Nia Jax.

>Io Shirai hasn’t signed yet and her coming to Orlando in late March to the Performance Center as WWE recruiting didn’t go swimmingly from her standpoint and there were a number of things she didn't like. Shirai is Stardom’s biggest star and Hojo was the No. 2. Stardom would be able to survive losing one, but losing both would be devastating.
Fresh from Le Meltz. Take his word with a pinch of salt though since he said in this very same article that Kana was Stardom's top star before going to WWE

>>2639487
How much time is left on her contract? She could probably get a job as a trainer if she wanted to. She got decent matches out of a lot of green talent, she even got a match out of Eva Marie. She's been doing house shows with SDL, so she has to get called up, right? Both women's divisions are thin as it is.
