Somehow Ito attracted a bunch of non-wrestling fans with her shtick and now fanart is in demand. The power she holds...
Lucas Rivera
she's about to have another match in the states bros. she's doing it. she's becoming a star just like brandi said she would. no belts miyu the PIG striker BTFO.
I have only just realized that Raku's train autism comes from her oyasumi express move where she pretends to be a choo choo train running over her opponent.
Ethan King
>realising this now
I think you're the one with autism
Camden Hall
Isn't it more like the move derives from her interest in trains?
Bentley Collins
yes
Easton Taylor
fuck agua, support joshi. I'm watching Yuka and Riho vs the tranny on AEW right now
Gavin James
me too, my girl Riho won!
Caleb Davis
that was a pretty crazy match. Nyla was SO FUCKING SLOW though. Riho and Yuka's post-match character work was amazing
Charles Gray
Really great match. Riho and Yuka's exchanges were a bit loose, but the whole dynamic of trying to keep the monster down was very compelling and they were allotted the time to build some hot moments.
I agree with your movement. Glad Riho got the win, was a pretty fun albeit sloppy match. I'm convinced that Yuka can have an entertaining match with anybody
Jacob Parker
there were a couple botches but the girls know how to recover from them pretty easily. the spot where Nyla caught them both was great
Andrew Taylor
Support this nut down your throat.
Angel Kelly
seething

Joshi heel and actual heel are two different things.
Noah King
Saw a post in the archive where someone called Yuu an "Olympic caliber judoka". ROFL.
Nicholas Miller
I don't follow TJPW. Are Yuka and Riho always this sloppy or was it just a bad night?
Nathan Taylor
Likely bad night. Yuka can botch every so often but Riho's usually on point. I heard the Kurukuru Ribbon got messed up but I'm going to assume that was on whoever took it (probably Nyla) more than Riho. Lucha shit like that requires a good base.
Jonathan Brooks
It was with Yuka. Honestly I was surprised by Nyla she was a good base and I don't recall her botching. It was still a good match but sloppy at times especially Yuka.
Zachary Wood
kek based
Gavin Foster
Nyla had a legitimate ***3/4 match with those Tofu Pro girls and protected them well despite her offense looking devastating.
Asher White
I am concerned about this DDT Zoo match. Are they going to use the animals as weapons? I know Japanese can be callous towards animals.
Mina will do her best to try and salvage something from it. Pomu will kick her in the shins. It won't last long and won't be remembered. Dust in the wind.
Colton Wilson
*kicks you in the shins* *has a 0 star match in your path*
I don't know if you're right or not, but it's not ironic. TJPW's main event style of shoot style grappling leading to power moves is perfect for Yuu, in fact she's the pioneer of it.
I'm guessing that many of the stardom and sendai girls she's wrestler now don't know how to do mat grapple style.
Colton Miller
Yuu's mat grappling is ultra basic stuff. The problem is she is simply not given the opportunity to have great matches. She's not provided main event positions where she is allotted the time and focus to have matches as great as her match with Miyu at Korakuen Hall.
Logan Gomez
Did she got her match against Chihiro? Against Meiko? Against Iwata?
Jaxon Perez
I would slam so many drinks with these two.
Parker Diaz
Because they're all half-trained but only end up wrestling each other the entire time and probably have super scripted matches on top of that. And in Yuu's case (the case among others in TJPW), she literally had one match she worked. >chop, side slam, senton, chop, chop, maybe a submission tease, judo throw after getting hit and just standing there, tazmission If anyone else wants to leave to wrestle other promotions, they might as well start from scratch and re-train unless they actually get some good trainers that can actually teach them.
Justin Bailey
She could be booked against Kazuchika Okada, it wouldn't produce good results if the match was worked like an undercard exhibition match devoid of story, tension and drama.
William Green
Yuu is pretty cute!
Angel Ramirez
Because she's not able to outside of TJPW. If you can't perform at a solid level in an undercard outing you have no right to be in main events or treated as an equal.
Andrew Hughes
I don't know. Her matches with Miyu were dynamite, though. The grappling, the striking, the drama they could create.
>The problem is she is simply not given the opportunity to have great matches.
Because the other wrestlers don't know how to do grappling style. Watch the Mizuki/Shoko match and you can see they did a lot of it early on. Personally, I love it and I think we need to move past the "TJPW isn't a good workers promotion" meme. Yes they have a different style of work to other promotions and yes the lower card is mostly developmental in progress, but the mid to upper card of TJPW is as good as any joshi promotion
Henry Miller
oshit i just realized the cup finals is this weekend
Oliver Gray
Yup, we have G1 and TJP cup. it's fucking stacked.
Cameron Thomas
I never bought into that meme. I think TJPW is top 3 when it comes to working a match and a crowd. The big matches are generally well structured and tell compelling stories - it feels almost beyond the experience levels of the wrestlers involved at times.
>Because the other wrestlers don't know how to do grappling style You seriously believe Mika, Meiko, Mizunami, Utami and fucking Chihiro don't know how to grapple with a judoka doing basic transitions?
Adrian Harris
kek but the sad thing is he'd unironically make this argument
Nathan Garcia
Yuu's match with Meiko and at least two of her tag matches in Sendai Girls have benn really good matches. Her match with Miyuki Takase was also a match that in part was excellent. I'd say she is having a higher frequency of good matches outside TJPW than she would be having if she stayed. She's had more good matches this year than Miyu.
(because they were supposed to and this probably means that Yuka vs. Riho is happening).
Christopher Sullivan

Blake Foster
>making fun of gay men is not acceptable
has this guy ever even WATCHED a Dino bout
Nicholas Miller
Are you really asking Irie if he's ever seen a Dino match? He's wrestled him!
John Ramirez
Is there any known beef between them? I thought Irie's falling out was with Takagi.
Regardless how Damien tries to throw shade on Dino because he portrays a harmful stereotype, this is still a really great episode. It's probably my favorite and a must watch.
Jordan Anderson
Nope, there's just that angle they did over the summer and the Irie blog that was used to set up his disappearance and turn.
