Finally had a chance to check out some of her Stardom matches, as I don't keep up on joshi like that. SHE IS AMAZING. Better than Charlotte, better than Toni Storm, better than Kairi, better than Tessa.

Matter of fact, I hope she stay in NXT a long time and have classic feuds with Kairi and Toni.

Haven't read the report, but it sounds like she just got tired of the Joshi scene and wanted something new. Wouldn't be surprised if she got sick of it after a few months if she hated it on first sight, though.

The single funniest thing about Asuka's WWE run is how docile she's been behind the scenes, given that she alienated EVERYONE in Japan (she was Low Ki bad, seriously). The Triple Tails fallout was fairly acrimonious, if I remember correctly, so it'll be interesting to see how that dynamic plays out in WWE.
:patrice: Really now? Got any stories. I only know Asuka from WWE and a few of her past matches I've watched, so this is news to me. Like you said, she seems so nice in the E.

Edit: Nvm. See now that you already posted.

Barring injury, her NXT run should be fire.

They’ve got a healthy rotation of women now

I hope they do the Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn nxt storyline (or similar to that) with Io and Kairi.
