What did she say
from what i could find on reddit

Okay, the general idea is that Asuka (kana at the time) had been a wrestler for roughly five years at the time. If people were aware, got into wrestling due to male wrestling both japanese and wwe. And after half a decade into her career, she found herself largely disillusioned and disgusted by the joshi scene which she found overly stylized and more focused on how the women looked than the product itself.

So she writes a manifesto for the industry. There are numerous points, but the most important were these five

  • Expand joshi wrestling to include other styles

  • Eliminate obviously fake moves

  • Conduct a review of the industry as a whole and get rid of wrestlers there that clearly shouldn't

  • Deal with the negative toxic enivornment of the scene and promote positivity and mutual respect

  • Encourage those who couldn't develop their persona or style to try other industries rather than flounder in uncertainty
So you got a hotshot joshi known for her stiff style calling for a motion to improve the industry.

So even though there was nothing wrong with her demands, she was in most folks eyes a rookie overstepping her bounds and similarly by extension burying the industry by pointing out its very blatant flaws. In a society that values conformity, age, and seniority.

Funnily enough, that manifesto shot Asuka to the top of the industry because essentially everybody hated her and wanted to see her get her comeuppance.

So an article she wrote trying to improve the industry effectively turned her into one of the biggest joshi of the era

A rookie after 5yrs?, sometimes you just have to laugh at the rules in wrestling:mjlol: I've always hated the whole "pay your dues" ideology, because if a wrestler has the ability and charisma from jump then they don't need to be wasted in mediocrity just because they're new. It's always the wrestlers that were stuck in the indies for 15yrs that want others to suffer the same fate they did.

Agree about Io being so smooth in the ring with her tiny self, those missile drop-kicks she hits :wow:

Asuka is always entertaining, her dancing at the end :russ:. Really good match even with the interference towards the end.

Sasha slamming Io into the plexiglass :picard:

Rhea handicap was a lot of fun :skip:

Grime's doing his best Damian Priest impression :heh:
