I'm hoping Kairi stays. I just have trouble seeing her do as well as Io.

I like to pretend that last season doesn't exist. It was a fun show before it.

Its more that I see no reason for her to become a freelancer otherwise as she is already a regular or been a regular just about everywhere sans Stardom & Sendai. Of course it could just be a case of cutting out the middleman in JWP when negotiating her appearances. Maybe its just that. Regardless Is till hope she shows up in Stardom next year. I remember liking Miyu a while back so I'm a bit disappointed though its not JWP was going to do anything with her anyways.

That makes me think Arisa is either heading for WWE or at least wrestling in the supposed Women's tournament for next year. I hope she works some Stardom tours if not.

Supergirl is ranking the highest with me which is somewhat odd since I like the characters in LoT & Flash much more. Arrow is ranking the lowest, but I actually do think the season has been ok so far.

Or Bryan is a little cocky and believes Ziggler can't lose.

I really wish Zayn had been on SDL. He would have been great as the one to beat Miz for the belt.

Is it a crime to like the guy? Thought his gimmick was nice in NXT and that he has steadily improved.

I'm perfectly fine with that.

I hope that narrator voice means Clancy Brown is in the game.

Show was decent. Dean/AJ was a fine match. The build to SS was alright. Glad Baron is a part of the SDL team.

Don't see a need for Miz to jump since he still has a rematch clause. They have been running that for a week or two now.

I'm honestly hoping Bray isn't at all. Or if he does both he and Braun abandoned their teams.

I'm hoping Corbin makes to SDL's team.

I already liked him well enough as Ezekial. The fact that he is Cyborg from TTG/NTT & Aqualad from YJ is just awesome. I've never seen him act in non-voice roles before.

I hope not. I really don't need Bayley beating Nia way too early again like in NXT.

Bayley losing tonight was fine. Nia is a monster that is undefeated to most of the WWE universe, and Bayley is nursing an injured shoulder. The match was nice with Bayley still getting her moments. Charlotte was nice on commentary actually talking Bayley up a few times. I thought this was much better than the loss to Dana a few weeks back. Roman/Jericho was much better than I expected. So are there going to be any title defenses at SS?

Kimura had death matches safer than that dumb spot. I kind of hope she goes more the death match route. It would be kind of nice to see her return to the style that originally got her notice before she bows out.

Roman/Rusev built was good but unremarkable. Bayley/Dana was pretty solid and the best Dana has looked since arriving on the main roster. Owen/Rollins was good. Kendrick/TJP was nice while it lasted, but damn was it heatless. The tag titles match was nice enough save for the ending. Charlotte/Sasha was great up until that flat ending. Not sure why the hell Charlotte is champ again. She is one of my favorite wrestlers in WWE right now but damn did I not need to see her hold the belt again.

As far as I can tell he doesn't run Stardom World. He seems to work as a go between for the fans & the people who do run the service. And honestly I'm not sure that is his actual job so much as him trying to help out fans. I've heard about streaming trouble, but no one getting their accounts banned. Not saying you're wrong, I just haven't seen it.

From what I've seen so far whoever runs the twitter tends to not mention match quality unless it was something they were really impressed by.

Io retained. Saw the Stardom twitter hype up the match with Bito so I'm looking forward to it.

WWE had joshi wrestlers in the 80s & 90s. Bull Nakano was WWF Women's champ. Meiko and various other joshi talent wrestled for WCW as part of working agreements with joshi promotions. Akira Hokuto was WCW Women's champ. It had representation before Asuka. Not sure how popular joshi wrestling was outside of Japan. Also not sure the interest has been strong from the Japanese women's side until recent years where.

Anyone know when the big crossover is supposed ot happen?

Meiko is runs Sendai Girls. You should check more of her work out. She and Io had an amazing match back in July. Kyoko Kimura is actually a freelancer and is retiring in January. I thought Yuhi was overrated. She was talented but got frustrated way too easily. She would occasionally get mad at other rookies over fuck ups that were her own fault. All interesting choices regardless.
