THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
I woke up to go to work just in time to see Omega/Ospreay live. Cot damn that was a phenomenal match! Everything it needed to be. Surpassed expectations. Might as well give Omega/Ospreay MOTY right now. I feel sorry for Okada/White having to follow that masterpiece.
Exactly!
Didn't care for it!
Sounded like the beat to Kris Kross' "Jump"
I will say that this was a big moment for her and performing in front of a Japanese crowd at WK is a different animal than WWE events. And we know she can deliver. She should just cheap shotted with the ring on her hand then cut a short promo just to get the moment out of the way. But the segment could have gone differently with her connecting with the move properly.
Adjusting to the crowd. She has to go from basically screaming her promos in front of English speaking crowds to almost not even needing a mic now. She was likely advised to speak slower because she does have a slight speech impediment. This was her first appearance in front of a live Japanese crowd. She'll be alright.
Y'all who grew up with Mid-Atlantic wrestling better not be expecting pure perfection out of modem day wrestlers lol
Kairi is my Japanese wife in my head but she's the one who botched by hitting her knees too soon.
I just don't understand breaking up the baddies... That's the best part of that faction, plus it'll be dumb for her to lose to any of them
Haters on Twitter making fun of her not getting a big pop from the Japanese's crowd
guess they don't understand that's how that crowd shows respect for you their. Dumb Americans

I absolutely expected that. People exposing themselves.Haters on Twitter making fun of her not getting a big pop from the Javanese crowd
Yes, Japanese crowds aren't loud like American crowds....Lolz I might be wrong, but I do remember Chris Jericho receiving a loud reaction when he debuted in Japan though.....Haters on Twitter making fun of her not getting a big pop from the Javanese crowd
Regardless, Sasha's debut wasn't as big as it should have (or we thought it) could have been.
Kinda tired of these CEO/Money gimmicks. Lio Rush ran that into the ground in two different promotions.
Can't disagree with that.
This was the move she was trying to do if you haven't seen it done the right way.
And I've gotta see that Omega/Ospreay match.
When Jericho first debuted in Japan (97') he didn't get a reaction at all. He had on a full bodysuit with a mask and called himself Super Liger. It completely bombed. The crowd started to warm up to him once he changed his gimmick and started wrestling under the "Wild Pegasus" gimmick.
I'm talking about his debut from a few years ago against Omega.
Jericho was a nobody in 97
It's one of the reasons why UFC doesn't go to Japan all that often. Japanese crowds make their shows seem uneventful. I know I LOVE Japanese crowds all that chanting in the States and Brazil gets on my nerves or booing during wrestling is MIND NUMBING to me!!!

She was definitely nervous in front of that crowd, that's a lot quieter than an American crowd, and it's been a while since she's cut a promo.
She'll be alright. She's never been the best promo anyway.
Still not sure if her new name is pronounced "Money" or "Monay". I heard it pronounced both ways in the clip.
I do expect her to eventually make her way back to WWE at some point after she gets the Japanese bug out of her system.
She has always had an Asian fetish it seems. LOL
I don't expect her to join that clusterfuck of a women's division in AEW.
Thanks for the clarification. I thought you meant Jericho's first ever debut in Japan since that's the comparison here in relation to Mercedes's first ever debut in Japan.
The comparison is Sasha was a big star.
Jericho was a big star.
There is no comparison between Jericho's debut in 97 to Sasha's debut today (2023) as they were no where near the same level.
Jericho's debut in (2018) and Sasha's debut are more comparable.
She really missed out she could have made Bank on OnlyFans or this new age of Social Media
I wonder if there is a little bit of jealousy and they dont want the move to come off as expected to make Mercedes look as strong. Its funny how small she looks in the ring as Sasha Banks in NJPW she look tall and much bigger than Kairi. She is more believably as a champion by American Standards
Thanks again for the clarification.
Japanese fans don't really follow American Women's wrestling like that. New Japan just started opening up to the concept of having consistent women wrestlers. Sasha ain't gonna get the reaction like some of her male counterparts.
They should break her away from Hit Row and put her with the Street Profits.
Tell me about it. She actually did set up an onlyfans page but then deleted it. She probably wasn't going to get nude so the subscriptions dropped off.
I would go a step further and say that Japanese fans don't really follow WWE like that. If Roman went over there he wouldn't get a massive reaction because although he's huge in the states in Japan he's just another guy. Omega gets the reaction he gets in Japan because he's lived and wrestled over there on a regular basis. They've come to know him. They don't know Roman. Seeing someone on TV isn't the same to them. They want to see what you got up close and personal. I think over time Mercedes can win over the Japanese fans but she has a lot to prove.
Are people really that in love with women's wrestling.? I change the channel unless they are nearly naked and a possible nip slip may occur. I like the way some look but can't stand the matches. Just brutal and when they talk(yawnfest) but that's just my opinion
