Spoiler Other than some Western joshi fans who mostly already hate Bea and Toyota herself most don't seem to have an issue with it. Taka mocked Toyota about it when she was complaining. Even Rossy Ogawa kind of blew it off with a fake half apology saying they will change the name (its called the Queen's Landing under Bea). I don't really think Toyota or the move were held on as some sort of sacred cow to Japanese fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, DEAN said: Why do they hate Bea Priestley? Various reasons. You have some who dislike her general push as one Stardom's top wrestlers. They had this issue with Toni Storm as well. Some think Bea is sloppy and dangerous as a wrestler though I haven't seen her look particularly sloppy in well over a year (I only watch her Stardom work to be fair). Of course these same people likely love Asuka/Kana who was sloppy and dangerous as fuck the first two years she was wrestling the style we see her use today (she broke someone's orbital bone). Some just don't enjoy Bea as a wrestler which is fine. Others dislike her for the general rumors surrounding her and Ospreay as going after other indy women she dislikes for whatever reason. I'm not sure how truthful that one is though there is likely some truth to it in the case of Sadie Gibbs who supposedly got into some altercation with Bea backstage at All Out. This would have been over issues from earlier this year with Ospreay trying to torpedo Gibbs's career after Gibbs left her Stardom tour early w/o permission. She was grieving and needed to go to a funeral. Stardom basically kept trying to ignore her because they already booked a title match or two with her.

Jiji Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) To expand, I feel like westerners in Japan get a lot of hate from diehards because they have this uneducated view that Japanese wrestling is for Japanese only. You get it with fans of NJPW, AJPW, Stardom, all sorts. I'm not saying all of the hate on Bea is from this, and Eivion listed some valid and less valid reasons above, but I am strongly of the mind that this bullshit reasoning is at play some of the time too. Fucking noobs not knowing that foreigners have always played a key role in Japanese wrestling for both genders. God damn weeaboos.

I wonder what those "diehards" would say if somebody mentioned Hansen, Brody, Funk, etc. I'm unfortunately not as in touch with Japanese wrestling as I'd like to be but even I know that foreigners have been an integral part of it since at least the Rikidozan days (unaware of it earlier than that) Edited September 6, 2019 by NikoBaltimore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Puro Woke twitter wants all the Gaijins gone. Also most of them are pretending to be diehards that followed Puroresu for years when none of them posted on any site to my recollection.

AxB Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I'm pretty sure there wasn't any Pro Wrestling in Japan before Rikidozan. Unless you count Sumo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naito fans from that corner endlessly ripping on whatever success Omega got. Like Naito has exactly killed it when getting his chances. The worst of the lot seem to be the Noah nerdlingers who lap up the concussion violence and love them not having any prominent outsiders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To play Devil's Advocate, if I can think of one era of Japanese Wrestling that didn't have many (or any) foreigners, it would be the era of AJW Dream Slams & Big Egg Wrestling Universe. Monster Ripper was gone, Madusa had gone to WCW to be a valet, and there didn't seem to be any female wrestlers coming up for them to use. So if that was your first experience of watching Japanese Wrestling, it might possibly make you think that having no gaijins was normal. But it really isn't. ANYWAY, Tim Thatcher vs Minoru Suzuki!

DEAN Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Chilean pro wrestling is very NOAH influenced- or maybe NOAH liked Chilean wrestlers because they work so stiff. Anyway, this is the first night of a tag tournament last night and it is thus all very stiff. Watch all of it if get some spare time. -------------------- Daga vs Puma King in PCW Ultra. https://youtu.be/DBOKkfaWCmM?list=WL&t=277 -------------------- NOAH show streamed earlier today.
