THAT'S WHO IT IS!!!! I have been racking my brain trying to figure out who this dude looks like!
This seems like ancient history. Go back to this and the AEW Women's division improves tremendously. Too bad they never got Aja Kong in her prime.
I legit fucks with Chelsea Green and Soyna Deville as a team. I think the two are hilariouson mic and they actually work well together as a team. I even loved the fact that they were one of the few teams who consistently picked one theme and rolled with it. Instead of having each member get there own entrance.
Sucks that they always choose Green's entrance music because Deville's theme is an banger.
In any case, I really hope Piper can hang around for a while without getting injuried or injuring someone else. The women's roster has come a long way since bra and panties match but apparently not long enough to maintain a tag division. Inconsistencies and sloppy ring work are making these titles a revolving door.
Damn, they did it!!..Over 80k ..This is very good look for AEW!!...Looking forward to watching this PPV!!...
Can they do that stateside?
I don't know. The most WCW had in attendance was like 41K in the Georgia Dome. If WCW with their money and better booking during their heydey couldn't....I think down the road...They can!!...
It will take at least two decades for AEW to get that number in the states. In the states Professional wrestling is oversaturated.
I don't see an attendance like that ever happening here in the states.I think down the road...They can!!...
This is their first time overseas, so the audience there is hot for the product and TK has lots of media contacts there because of his soccer team.
Here in the states, they've hit every market so the product is not new to anyone.
I've lost count of how many times they've gone to Chicago and even that market seems to be cooling off.
Since I'm the Joshi aficionado in these parts he's a little backstory behind these comments. They stem from particular fans constantly pestering her about leaving WWE and going back to Japan however she's happy in WWE/America.
In the past Asuka had heat with the Japanese media and the Joshi scene as a whole because she wrote a manifesto on how to improve the industry for women. Although she had some valid points in her manifesto they felt she was overstepping her boundaries because she was still looked at as a rookie in the business and she was burying the industry by pointing out it's flaws.
Because of this the media and various promotions weren't kind to her. In Japan you're still dealing with a country that places high value on patriarchy, conformity, age and honor. Speaking out of turn and shining a light on something negative is frowned upon over there.
Asuka was still able to use the heat to her advantage because now people were paying and wanting to see her lose so she ended up actually making a good amount of money from it before moving to the States.
Here were the top 5 points in her Manifesto ...
1. Expand Joshi wrestling to include other styles. (Asuka works a stiff kicking style. That particular style wasn't prominent on the Joshi scene back then. Nowadays wrestlers like Syuri, Mayu Iwatani and Mina Shirakawa work that style.)
2. Eliminate obviously fake moves (She's taking about moves that are overly choreographed or in general wouldn't logically cause much damage.)
3. Conduct a review of the industry as a whole and get rid of wrestlers who can't hack it. (I could see where this would rub people the wrong way. They're probably looking at her like who the fuck are you? This isn't Manami Toyota saying this it's 5 years in the business Asuka/Kana saying it.)
4. Deal with the negative toxic environment of the scene and promote positivity and mutual respect. ( here she could be talking about the overall sexualization of the women and not being taken serious as the male counterparts.)
5. Encourage those who couldn't successfully develop a gimmick or Style to try other avenues other than wrestling rather than staying on the scene going nowhere. (This is pretty self-explanatory.)
Thanks for the added context. I'm wondering if her points were a reason or influence in Kairi deciding to come back stateside though...
They couldn't have done a second take?!
Who's to say that wasn't the second, third, or forth take? The coke drip stops for no man.
Ya'll could be right!!...But hey, You never know!!..I'm looking forward to seeing this upcoming AEW PPV!!..80k to attend is a big thing reached!!..
It may have had some influence on her when she originally left Stardom but not now. The Joshi scene has changed for the better and starting to thrive again like back in the 80's/90's. KAIRI leaving now has more to do with her own bucket list of things she wants to accomplish in her career. She wants to be a WWE Women's Champion like Asuka and Iyo. There's nothing really left for her to do in Stardom.
The whole character and name (Virgil) was basically a rib on Dusty Rhodes so they made sure to make him look as ridiculous as possible.
Yeah I remember that, reason why they called him Vincent when he was in WCW.
Lolz red and white stripes instead of polka dots?
This was from the "Wave" promotion in 2010 I believe. Asuka/Kana did trios matches with Hikaru Shida and Syuri around this time. They would do dance numbers before their matches. In the first clip Shida is on the left, Asuka in the middle and Syuri on the right. In the second clip Asuka is on the left and Syuri is on the right. All three women have gone on to become World Champions in their various promotions.

Think about it. This may be the last era where we witness shit like this with guys that have the history that these guys do. I'll always prefer a healthy ecosystem in pro wrestling, but we are flying pretty close to the sun at the moment the shit that going on. It's like this was destined to happen as much as Tony loves Punk and had him in mind when AEW was conceived.
I've since to see any Punk material outside of these post since he returned. I was the biggest Punk fan during his peak but my God, there has been nothing but negativity surrounding him since his return.
He claimed to want to return and work with the younger talent, but that's hard when the company sees a walking bag of money whenever he's near so they always eventually book him to the top of the card.
Like when HBK returned after finding Jesus and said he didn't want or need a world title. To which Vince laughed and said, nice pants bitch. Now go hold this title."
Punk better be careful or he'll turn into Tony Kahn's Hogan. Old, out of shape, hated backstage, but still consistently booked to the top.
That's the same face I made watching her do that.
Good
He's exactly becoming Hogan. TK is Brichoff and has no control over the asylum.I've since to see any Punk material outside of these post since he returned. I was the biggest Punk fan during his peak but my God, there has been nothing but negativity surrounding him since his return.

In light of the Lacey Evans news it immediately brought me back to this clip.
