Can we all finally agree that her entire main roster run has been a bust and has been beyond saving since losing to Charlotte at last year's Wrestlemanina?
>jobber matches > meaningful matches >poor promos and has to be carried by any she feuded with or interviewed by
b-b-but user muh... >2017 Survivor Series Sole Survivor This is about as relevant as winning a Slammy...member those? >2018 Mixed Match Challenge Winner Another slammy... >2018 Royal Rumble Winner I'll give you this one because it actually set up a decent match, but we all know how that went over and it led to her burial for no reason and to be pinned by Carmella by all people! >2018 Champion in 1st WTLC After being forgotten for six months to literally only became champion because both Charlotte and Becky already were off toe RAW to feud with Ronda and set up the 4 horsewomen holding all the gold at WM35.
Outside of injury, I can think of no other woman's career to take such a nose dive. Literally champ one week and dumped into a another meaningless Battle Royal just to keep her on the card at WM35 the next with ZERO explanation or retaliation. To be built up like such a beast in NXT to be destroyed in less than a year of being called up...and she was ONLY called up because she got injured. If she didn't get hurt, she'd still be there!
>you can not dispute this >INB4 rent free, reddit spacing, tldr, neet
this. shed be booked at the top. getting fucked over like that last minutes gotta be disheartening. Vince is an old prick
Thomas Parker
I don't think Asuka is that big of a mark for herself, honestly. She probably doesn't give two shits and doesn't really apply herself in the ring as is, but she looks a whole lot better than others because everyone else sucks that much.
Aiden Walker
She is one of the biggest self-marks among active wrestlers.
Nathaniel Roberts
>She is one of the biggest self-marks among active wrestlers. nice b8. all the bitch does is post about random vidya and shit.
Owen Nelson
Except when she posts a multiple page essay about why the joshi scene is shit and why she feels like she's above it.
Aiden Ortiz
source.
Connor Nelson
so by your rationale that's why she is going to quit the biggest wrestling company in the world and go back to the joshi scene and the indies? She clearly thinks she is too good to work with a T shirt company against girls she never even heard of...
Jack Wood
her run has been as good as anyone's in the WWE they don't book anyone well for more than a couple of weeks out of the year tops
Brody Lee
She'll go to AEW. I'm willing to bet money on this.
Jaxson Martinez
I'm a massive Asuka-fag but she is a self mark. Read some of her interviews about the wrestling scene.
Anthony Edwards
Everyone in WWE is booked to shit. Everyone. Asuka is as good as any female is going to be given the predicament of creative, we're lucky we even got the NXT run.
Anthony Carter
Asuka wants to wrestle men. She's said as much and how little she thinks of wrestling other women. Something that won't happen in WWE. Given how "SJW woke" AEW seems to be I doubt they would taker her in an edgier direction either.
Holy shit you two were worked harder than the Joshi scene. At least by now they know it was all supposed to be a work.
Ryan Myers
Jesus christ imagine her forcing you into that spot without any prior discussion
Jayden Evans
Everyone except coping weebs knows she is a big fat flop
Michael Barnes
>Asuka ranting against Joshi in April of 2016, long after leaving it and knowing she’ll probably never return, was a work Sure, bud.
Robert Ramirez
What is Roman? What is Brock? What is Seth? What is Cena? What is AJ? What is Charlotte? What is Becky (of late)?
Carter Kelly
OP here
I forgot to mention something. Why hasn't she attempted to learn a bit more English and/or work on her promos? Or at least bring Io or another Japanese countrywoman to counter her and perhaps form a stable or feud of some kind?
They have literally destroyed her and I can't help but think this is Vince's doing just to spite the smarks and HHH since she was super high on her back in NXT.
Nathaniel Fisher
>Why hasn't she attempted to learn a bit more English and/or work on her promos? Cause her brain is a mush.
Brandon Evans
And the new version of her theme song sounds like shit
Gabriel Perry
bullshit Maybe that's why they buried her since she didn't want to for some reason and is just riding out her contract before leaving for AEW or elsewhere.
Julian Bailey
NO SPREAK ENGRISH
Jeremiah Sullivan
Have you seen her matches with kyoko Kimura or Arisa nakajima, where they trade beadbutts? Her brain is dead. If you ever listen to wrestlers talking, they have problems with memory because of all the bumps they have taken. And she has taken multiple headbutt wars where both of the people got cut open by giving and receiving the headbutts.
Eli Nelson
>Why hasn't she attempted to learn a bit more English
Because the crowd chants "What" at everyone not speaking super perfect American English without an accent.
It's a lost effort with the racist WWE Crowd and the powers that be realize that as well.
Brandon Morgan
you should double check your dates simp.
Landon Davis
This. It will be the same with Kairi and Io despite they knowing English quite well
Jose Perry
>doubt Those matches were brutal, but why would they risk signing her given that kind of damage when they are super high on their concussion protocols?
>wrong that chant s done when they are bored or a smarky crowd. just like asshole or cmpunk chants
Ian James
>>Asuka ranting against Joshi in April of 2016 Wow. Wow. Are you sure about that date. I am so sorry to tell you, you are mistaken. The "manifesto", name of which she used to sell her gravure vids later on came some time sooner than 2016, dear user.
Austin Ramirez
>Those matches were brutal, but why would they risk signing her given that kind of damage when they are super high on their concussion protocols? Concussion protocol and being able to live normal life doesn't mean she can retain new knowledge. Really, listen to wrestlers talking about their memory. How they just loose things left and right. Also she was 34 when she signed, that is not prime age to start learning new language. And last point is - she was never supposed to go to main roster. She was supposed to be a player coach, like Kassius Ohno is.
Isaiah Williams
>she was never supposed to go to main roster then why move her at all? >start learning new language then why not give her a mouthpiece manager?
Parker Adams
Or Hideo Itami and Tozawa who know english really well but Itami was mute at the end of his run and they never let Tozawa say more than four words.
Brandon Brooks
>then why move her at all? They decided they have something in her. Also they needed people to fill Royal Rumble (and Survival Series). >then why not give her a mouthpiece manager? They just recently started to give people managers. If it was me, she'd already had one when she arrived. But WWE (Vince) is too stubborn and doesn't understand that they already have the money, it doesn't matter of they had to pay one more person to get an act over.
Daniel Ross
I forgot sadly...muh woman evolution run is why she was moved most likely, but to bury her in such a way...JUST
and managers have been around since the beginning, just not for women. easily could've made her a heyman girl and use him
Samuel Gray
Funaki >indeed
Noah Parker
She got the biggest opportunities that most Japanese wrestlers don’t get in the E ever. Not learning the language quickly probably hurt her push
Nathaniel Jackson
She's lazy. Vince gave her plenty of time to improve and she refused. Now the punishment has been handed out.
Colton Barnes
To give Charlotte another accolade. No streak, no call up. All those sexual favours Asuka did for Gaytch paid off
Tyler Cooper
She has done it twice. The second time was after beating Bayley on NXT.
John Morales
Charlotte is where she is by name and name only. She's gonna have 16 championships when it's said and done like her father and no one will ever come close to her. But to have that many in like 5 years or so being on the main is terrible
and you can be damn sure ric said his daughter aint laying down for a gook
Jason Fisher
What are you replying to? Your reply doesn't make any sense to the post you quoted.
Thomas Nguyen
Smarks fucking hate the WHAT chant. That's something self marks do and fortunately it's largely died out with younger fans.
Parker Scott
>they don't book anyone well for more than a couple of weeks out of the year tops literally everyone I posted has been booked top tier for years
Oliver Jackson
this desu
Jaxon Clark
TLC match was underrated af and she carried most of it
Ryder Cook
Charlotte carried it. Asuka did nothing but botch

Isaac Parker
I think there's a difference between bust and misused. Paradoxically it feels Asuka is both extremely overachieving and underutilized. No question this latest situation was a complete screwjob, however it's going down with some infamy and we don't know what it will lead to yet. Could be fan backlash rejuvenates her yet again. Or she could feel disrespected and just retires.
There are rumors that she was suppose to be more of a support and trainer role in NXT to help the women get better and was never even suppose to be a main roster talent. Even then once she was established she was completely shat on with the Carmella stuff and STILL overcame it to get back over and win a World Championship which at the time was the hottest title in the company. And yes that TLC match is probably the most memorable match from WWE in a long long time and was the height of the women's division being over.
At this point she is one of the most memorable people to come to the WWE in a long time and if you don't think fans will always talk about her and she'll be in the HOF without question you're crazy. Having said that yes of course it obvious that they could do much more with her and Vince clearly has no interest in her, it's everyone else around him that constantly supports her from HHH, talent, fans, production and herself that has gotten her this far.
Nah. If anything, I expect Charles to go on a Super Cena-tier run with the title so this loss means nothing really.
Bentley Hall
She was called up to put over Charlotte. Her injury had no effect on anything as she would have been cleared long before the next Takeover. If the company wanted her to remain on NXT and continue her reign, she easily could have.
Anthony Thomas
There was no botch in that match by any of the three idiot. Stop being an asshole.
Cameron Carter
i call this move "mating press"
Liam Moore
>the 4 horsewomen holding all the gold at WM35.
You people keep saying this shit. How the fuck is that going to work? Becky AND Charlotte are going to co-win the Triple Threat? PLEASE don't tell me The 'E is going to go full Russo with some wacky stip that whoever scores the first pinfall or submission just gets the belt of the one who was pinned or tapped. That would be so incredibly fucking stupid, considering they could have just saved Charlotte v Asuka for Mania, and had Charlotte and Becky win.
There is absolutely no path to "4 Horsewomen Holding All Belts" that isn't the most retarded shit I have ever heard in my life.
Only RAW title is on the line. Charlotte keeps her SDL title, Becky wins RAW title. Easy peasy.
Adam Hall
>strongly rumored to be "winner takes all" match >winner doesnt take all yup thats retarded
and if its not winner takes all, then theyre valueing the stupid horsewomen moment over giving the match the highest stakes possible, which is also retarded.
Jason Phillips
>le meltz Who gives a fuck about that stuttering dwarf. WWE themselves said it is still only a Raw women's championship match after Charlotte won the belt.
Aaron Clark
>theyre valueing the stupid horsewomen moment over giving the match the highest stakes possible and you're realizing this just now?
Josiah Price
No. Never my milk bae.
Dominic Wright
It's WWE so the finish is obviously Ronda tapped out when Charles put on the Figure 8 and Becky put on the Dis-armer so Becky gets the RAW title while Charles gets to keep her SDL title.
Bentley Reyes
Becky wins rumble title shot granted titles shot taken away must jump through hoops to get title shot back deck stacked against her in title match now
>what is mockery of royal rumble history? >wwe logic
