>>6096Yeah it doesn't seem that smart to put it on Goto, if they didnt want to go with one of the old guys like Shingo or Ishii, they could always just put it on someone who isnt that well known and give them a chance.

>>6102They had it on ZSJ for a bit but there was a ton of interest in Goto *finally* getting the belt when he was booked against him. I think Goto is probably their biggest domestic draw out of all those names, which was why they went with him.
Seems to me like they're building him up with the idea of having one of the younger guys taking it off him. They apparently want to position Shota Umino as the next ace but he just doesn't have "It", at least at the moment. He wrestled at Wrestle Kingdom against ZSJ (Umino didn't win the G1 - ZSJ won and took his title shot early) and it was a giant flop. Yota Tsuji is the strongest of the "younger" talent but he's 32. Yuya Uemura and Ryohei Oiwa are other possible choices, with a slight edge to the latter because he's a little younger but neither has quite the experience as Tsuji. And meanwhile there's Gabe Kidd, who's managed to get over with the fans and had a good match with Kenny Omega several months ago.
It's an interesting scene that isn't quite as bleak as it sounds but there isn't really anyone who "stands out" and that's what they really need.

>>6097So what caused the shoot? Did they both have the same baby daddy or something?

>>6103I have to say I never liked Shota Umino, and never particularly liked Iyo/Io. With Shota, I agree with you that he doesn't have what it takes. Even Ren Narita might be better than him because he is at least a decent wrestler. Actually, when I think about it, the smartest move would be to put it on Tsuji. As for Iyo, I admit I am biased because some of her fans are rather obnoxious. that makes me want to hate on Iyo just to piss them off lol.

>>6104Backstage stuff, mostly. Apparently there was a lot of bullying allowed and quite a bit of jealousy that Act was over as much as she was (again, she got over mostly through showmanship and charisma). The trainer was old school and apparently pushed that attitude.
It also didn't help that Yoshiko was like 22 at the time, young, and brash. There was just a lot of tension that should have never been allowed to reach the point it did. Backstage heat can make for some of the best wrestling but it can also lead to explosions when not managed properly.

>>6105Kek, Shota is a legit beef but Iyo doesn't deserve it. She was Stardom's original ace and deserved that title. I agree her fans can be obnoxious as fuck though so I see no shame ripping on her to spite them.
I agree about Tsuji. They just need *someone*. Doesn't have to be *the guy*. But he's a much better choice than Shota. I honestly don't know what they're doing with Narita, he seems buried in these conversations due to the whole HoT thing and I don't understand why New Japan would do him that way.

>>6106Always sad when things get that badly out of hand. It might have actually been better if they had fought out back in the parking lot after the show or something like that. If it had happened like that, there likely would have been people around to break it up before it went that far.
β6110[Quote]
>>6108Yeah Narita has no charisma but he could maybe develop that. He can at least put on a good match and they could always work with him on the rest. I have always thought Tsuji would become a very big deal, he stands out and everyone seems to like him. And I'll admit, it's not Iyo's fault that some of her fans are filth.

>>6110>And I'll admit, it's not Iyo's fault that some of her fans are filth.It's the case with a lot of joshi fans, sadly. And I say that as a joshi fan.
I really never got why people complained about "joshipedos" until I started the joshi general. I just wanted to share matches mostly, kind of like I'm doing in this thread. But dear god that thread became a mess, and worse there were people who wanted to flirt with the line I was intentionally trying to avoid.
There's a lot to enjoy about joshi but goddamn are the most outspoken fans a bunch of creepers.

>>6113I do see what you meant about Mayu Iwatani being very good. I can kind of see why people talk about her a lot.
β6119[Quote]
>>6115She has an interesting background as well.
She was gangraped when she was back in school. Dropped out and went full on shut-in afterwards.
Then one day she saw pro-wrestling on TV and got the idea in her head that she wanted to do that. Saw a company offering try-outs so she ran away from home and ended up living under the roof of the guy who started the company.
She was the worst prospect out of the new students but she stuck with it. Paid her dues. Continued to improve. And now she's largely seen as one of the best.
Rossy, the guy who started Stardom, was fired last year for poaching talent to start his new company (he knew the writing was on the wall). Mayu wanted to go with him but didn't because she had a year on her contract and they made a movie about her life story so she stayed on to promote it.
She connects well because, despite being very good, she is also personally quite clumsy, a bit goofy, and is prone to things like getting lost in new cities. WWE had expressed interest in her but she's not really interested in leaving Japan because she has her apartment, her dogs, her life, and is happy with that.

>>6119Good for her. I doubt they would have done much with her, probably would have jobbed her out to that fat coconut slurping samon bitch.

>>6127I really cant help but wonder if the anoa'i family has some really terrible dirt on vince and WWE as a whole. They really have been shown an extreme degree of favoritism and there must be some reason for that. Would be funny if they were a shoot samoan mafia family who killed people for Vince back in the day.
