Her Englishis actually pretty darn good for a non-native speaker As a non-native speaker, it really isn't. I know it is extra hard for Japanese People since it uses sounds they basically don't know how to use, but it is passable english ,not pretty good. She can make short straight to the point sentences which is pretty much what she needs.

to feed Christian's starving orphans I need Christian to have a non-network reality show, so everyone can experience his greatness. Yesterday. (Not so) Serious answer: Asuka applied for the job, and was hired!!

Charisma Has a look that's part badass, part kawaii. Really good wrestler.
And......
Nobody is ready for Asuka.

Unique look, badass in the ring, promos short and sweet (even screaming in japanesse I can feel what she is saying without knowing what she said), and pretty.

With regards to her ringwork, one thing that hasn't been mentioned is how good she is at making everyone suspend disbelief.
Except when facing jobbers, Asuka doesn't crush her opponents like a Goldberg or a Strowman. Despite the fact that everyone expects her to win every big match, Asuka makes the crowd believe that THIS match is the one she's going to lose. And it works every time.

She also has the benefit of avoiding long shitty WWE promos filled with buzzwords written by Vince that hurt her character.

Disclaimer,I'm a big fan of Asuka an am 100% behind her. Just wondering how everything came together for Asuka?She can't speak proper english, almost any major push nowdays like this are seen with incredible pushbacks, almost any other woman people(Including me)would be complaining about getting too much at expense of others and she doesn't even look like a force of nature ala Goldberg,Braun,Kharma. She can speak English. They just don't give a mic often. I do find it racist when people assume she's unable to do so.

Plus the fact that she rarely talks, and keeps it to the point when she does, leads to people actually paying attention to what she says.

Because for the first time in history they actually have a female wrestler who is arguably the best in the world.
They briefly had it with Bull Nakano and Aja Kong, but they weren't around for long, but now we have someone who is genuinely one of the best and under a permanent contract.

Because this is one wrestler that creative has—in large part—gotten out of the way of. Imagine if they’d just let KO be KO or Ambrose be Ambrose or ... well, you get the picture. Some people benefit from help, like Elias and Braun, but some people you just have to let them work. Creative has ruined way more than they’ve helped.

Pure charisma. She's not the best talker for obvious reasons, but she makes up for it in facials and body language. Being able to go from mocking to devious to full on killer at a moment's notice.

It took me longer than it should have to understand what this thread is asking. I kept thinking, "To make a living? Duh!"

Not pretty good english.It is different.I can speak Japanese,but just like her with English,without reading soemthing in front of me,I can only speak very simple sentences.

Lmao definitely just Asuka being attractive. Same thing with Braun. No one cared until he started showing that sex appeal.

she makes it easy to suspend disbelief. She looks like she'd really win a bar fight
