"Toni Storm is being allowed to work Stardom from 5/3 to 5/16. She was pushed as the top foreign star with the promotion prior to signing with WWE. Stardom has been told they can use anyone on the NXT U.K. roster, which is why Xia Brookside was part of their draft. WWE allowing her to go there signifies some of a relationship with Stardom"
AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. Yet another smaller promotion to be absorbed and spit out by the WWE. How do Stardomfags feel right now, knowing that Stardom will basically be used as a developmental for NXT Japan? Your treasured Joshi promotion, now being used as a feeder system for WWE. Stardom will go the way of Progress and ICW, offering nothing of value or importance after WWE handpicks who they want and takes them away with them to underutilize and store away in some abandoned warehouse in Orlando, Florida.
Make the switch to BASED TJPW, Stardom fags. Stardom has abandoned you, Ogawa Rossy has betrayed you and sold you, the loyal Stardom fan, out in exchange for the chance to be a developmental of a developmental of a developmental. Yikes!
NXT UK doesn't tours, the wrestlers gotta make money between tapings.

BEGGING YA on my hands and knees GET A CLUE and HAVE SEX

NXT UK wrestlers work indies, this is literally nothing. Stardom is the least likely joshi fed to be poached by WWE/AEW since they have visas through ROH for multiple years that make them exclusive there outside Japan.
Thomas Young
Then what the fuck is WWE doing then? I'm aware of ROH's relationship with Stardom, why the fuck is WWE trying to cozy up with them then? WWE doesn't let anyone under an NXT contract wrestle in Revolution Pro or against anyone from NJPW. What is WWE's strategy here, they're fully aware ROH has a relationship with Stardom. They're up to something.
David Hall
>Stardom >has no stars What did Stardometty mean by this?
They probably just want Rossy to convince Mayu to get the fuck out of that ROH contract so they can get her instead.
Ayden Gray
>Stardom gets to use NXT UK people >WWE gets to borrow some top level wrestlers for the MYC
Seems like a decent trade.
Brandon Gutierrez
Killer Kelly and Millie were just on Sendai Girls.
WWE figured out that the UK schedule isn't enough dates for the people they snatched up so they let them back onto the indies on leashes.

This nigga said "least" likely lol. Its the exact opposite. Stardom has been in bed with wwe for a while.

This. It's not just Stardom. Other promotions are using Nxt UK talent too. Not just the women either. Walter wrestles elsewhere and so has Pete Dunne, I'm pretty sure. Nxt UK contracts aren't locks like other WWE ones. Or Brits are somehow smarter and refuse to sign full mark contracts. It's can't just be a WWE thing either. Bea Priestley is signed with AEW and is a regular on Stardom and they booked that dentist chick on their New York show. They seem willing to work with anyone.
Sorry OP, but what this really means is that even with freedom to wrestle elsewhere, NXT UK wrestlers still don't think TJPW is worth it.
William King
And Kagetsu. 2 of the few only legit good female wrestlers around. And I normally think women's wrestling is a meme.
Jayden Martinez
They only work with ROH. Mayu isnt allowed to work AEW but Britt is allowed to work for Stardom. Kinda scummy bu Rossy
Grayson Gomez
Kagetsu has been wrestling since 2008. She joined STARDOM in 2016. Calling Kagetsu a STARDOM wrestle is like calling Io Shirai a STARDOM wrestler, the majority of their careers weren't even for that company.
Ethan Evans
>Borrow To job them out.
Jayden Edwards
Toni Storm is a nobody
Jayden Cook
I'm sure Walter is just finishing out the dates he agreed to work in 2019, I know he said he wanted to stay in Europe, but their's no way this guy isn't a part of WWE's long term plans
they're going get Walt jacked then strap the rocketship to his ass as the next great heel.
Michael Green
As far as I'm concerned a wrestler is of the company they're currently signed to.
Luis Watson
They throwed a shit ton of money and a cozy deal so he only works NXTUK and TakeOver shows.
Thomas Davis
ROH is jobbing them out to complete shitters like Kelly Klein, at least WWE will pay them better.
Jeremiah Kelly
I don't think that's a Rossy thing so much as RoH locking them with contracts that prevent them from wrestling with other promotions overseas. Although I guess you could blame Rossy for being stupid enough to sign that. Seeing them make Mayu wrestle Kelly multiple times because they have such a poor roste ris sad, though. That's stupid. A wrestler belongs to the company they're currently wrestling in. Not where they trained or how long they've been there. By that logic, WWE basically has nobody, since they rarely grow their own talent and most of their roster have spent more time in the indies. Oh, and Io has indeed wrestled the majority of her career with Stardom. Her career is 12 years old and she was with them for 6 and a half, not even counting freelancing for them for a lot of 2011. Walter has said he has no interest in moving to America full time. And NXT UK just doesn't run enough shows/pay enough, so they let them do indie shows as well. Maybe the top stars like Walter will be different and they'll pay him enough, but the midcarders will need other work unless NXT UK picks up or something. If you check a site that lists event history for most of the NXT UK talent, you'll see a lot of them are still doing indie stuff.
He wouldn't be at all. She's far too old for his pedo taste. She's at least in her 20s, so he'd have no interest and just job her out if she did somehow sign with them. Rossy only wants to push teens or white women.
And to add to this, she probably told him she won't suck his cock for a job.
Liam Barnes
I only watch Stardom on and off at times, but didn't Toni end her Stardom tour on questionable terms? Got the main belt, even if it wasn't planned, then was rarely there to defend it and even after they booked her ridiculously strong and signed her, ditched them for WWE and cut a promo about how bad the fans were before leaving? Not to mention injuring their wrestlers a few times. That's more what I heard, though.
William Peterson
>Calling Kagetsu a STARDOM wrestle is like calling Io Shirai a STARDOM wrestler Valid since their main career highlights and most well known work happened in Stardom?
>the majority of their careers weren't even for that company. Io's Stardom run was 7 years out of her 12-year career and she was the ace for 5 of those 7 years, with all her big accomplishments taking place in that timeframe. Sounds like a Stardom wrestler to me. Nobody thinks of Io Shirai's WAVE matches or TLW Tag Title run when they think of Io Shirai.
Lucas Nelson
Momo is the best 18 year old wrestler Meltzer has ever seen
Elijah Brown
Pretty shitty, I must say. Another mark company absorbed into the machine.
Does Japan not know how bad ratings and attendance are? Or how WWE is seen as a punchline in the west?
Adrian Gomez
They still think that WWE is this titan from the late 90's. Look at Kushida for example.
Jacob Sanders
From the Dome to a literal garage.
I hope that the major Japanese stars take a look at how Nakamura has been treated and avoid the shit hive at all costs.

NXT UK girls work 2 days a month and earn £24,000 a year. They literally have to work elsewhere if they want to be able to afford to eat more than Lidl baked beans.
Robert Jackson
Thats not what he said you misquoting faggot. He said she "MIGHT BE ONE OF". Then listed a bunch of better ones later. Also Meltzer doesnt know anyway, he put her over after only seeing like 3 momo matches. Ironically the 3 best ones.
Jeremiah Smith

they don't give a fuck about ROHetty
Lucas Adams
Hey pal, you just blow in from Stupid Town? Kagetsu is signed to Stardom so she's a Stardom wrestler. Get a clue.
Cameron Martin
Based. Asuka pulling strings to get Konami into NXT when?
Adrian White
They probably want a wrestler or two for the next MYC. There's no one worth signing atm
