I think it's just drunk tweeting. I am not about to decipher this. Her name dropping Syuri and Shirakawa as two wrestlers she likes in Stardom made me chuckle, Syuri of course I get but I dunno what her connection with Shirakawa is. I mean everyone loves Shirakawa but unless that was a joke it implies she still watches the Joshi scene since Shirakawa debuted well after she had already joined WWE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If her overall message is that she is scared they will be used wrong, she picked two people who are disguising their displeasure pretty damn well. Say what you will about her losing titles quickly, but I don't think Mina Shirakawa could ask for a better overall spot in Stardom. Syuri has been solidified as one of the top women for awhile now. Matter of fact, they "outgrew" the stables they were in and started their own splinter groups where both are de facto leaders of their respective group.

Dolfan in NYC Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 Since Maffew posted this, I wonder how quickly Dan would have realized shooting in a WWF ring would have been a massive mistake. (Especially with Austin, Blackman, Edge, AND *Vince* all in the ring at the time.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we will never know, I took her using the word "concerned" not in the literal sense based off the prior sentence, more like she wishes good luck to everyone and she is watching Syuri/Shirakawa the closest. Course, I don't know if her English has developed that much that she wrote all those tweets un-assisted, she uses translate tools to help, someone else wrote it... who knows. That's the beauty of Asuka. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when she refers to being against Joshi it’s more about the culture and the way things are expected to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 It seems like on her YouTube recently, she speaks less English than she used to before and does a lot more written English translations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackman would quickly realize what's going on compared to say Droz and fight back, next Blackman most likely has been in way way more street fight type fights compared to Severn and could hold his own, then once everyone backstage realizes what's going on the next two entrants would most likely be Ken Shamrock and The Godfather. Even if his fantasy became somewhat of a reality, once 3 or 4 guys get him down someone is pulling out one of his eyeballs, just out of principal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And look, Severn is/was no doubt a bad ass but there are few things in wrestling that require more "cooperation" than throwing someone over the ropes. They are chest high and easy to grab onto, and wrestlers are uh heavy people. I can't imagine he was really seriously considering it, probably just a funny thought that went through his head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he'd most likely get a hernia trying to shoot lift anyone in that ring over the top rope. After thinking about it, if his plan was to choke people out or break their arms, someone would have punted his head Ray Guy style once he was on the mat.

Haven't seen what went on in the Brawl for All and how this usually goes in wrestling outside of the territories or Japan, it's more likely something happens and then times just stand still until it abruptly comes to an end when folks start cooperating again. We're not talking about the Knoxville or Memphis or Mid-South territories. If it wasn't scripted to happened, you ain't pulling out anyone's eyeball under Vince's watch or soccer kicking anyone like you're Wanderlei Silva in a PRIDE FC fight.

While I mostly agree, I think with Vince actually IN the ring for this one, you might see someone give it a go in a perhaps misguided attempt to curry favor. Maybe not a Steve Austin, but I could see like, idk, one of the Headbangers or Papi Chulo or someone of that ilk thinking 'Might get a push out of it...'

On top of that, get their ass whooped in a failed attempt to intervene. These dudes were getting winded 45-60 seconds into a real fight. Now I have to believe they're doing Steven Seagal shit in real life on a trained professional fighter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dude big agree, hence 'misguided' - I just don't think it's out of the realm of possibility for a Shotgun/NY/Jakked/Metal-level guy to think that he could get something out of it were it to have occurred.

Of course now, I can see WWE not wanting those lawsuits. Talent on talent? Doesn't make too much sense cause both are giant fantasies. The shoot throwing people over the ropes (although I believe it can be done cause some folks are freaks of nature) as well as the resulting gang beating and/or eye gouging. They're not dummies on that front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, he used "Atomic Dog" in Florida. I totally forgot Atomic Dog was that old. I thought it came out a little later in the 80s. I love P-Funk. I love JYD. However, that is a weird song choice. "Another One Bites the Dust" at least got super over. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the use of it somewhat, but since I associate the song heavily with black fraternities, I never saw it as a kick someone's ass type of a song. It's too fun and party like. It's too silly for JYD. So is Grab Them Cakes but we're talking another era of JYD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
