I feel so bad for Asuka. I've really, really wanted her to get a nice, feel-good moment at Mania for once. She's only 1 year older then that up and comer Damien Priest,and she is around the age of a lot NXT title holders. She will always probably fall behind The Horsewomen,Alexa with management as far as priority. But who's to say in the future Sasha isn't going Hollywood or other top female stars don't take time off like Becky to have a kid or someone won't shake a hand properly backstage and get punished booking wise. She's a trusted talent they won't hesitate to but the strap on again even if she isn't the A plan. |

Never let her near Shayna and Nia. Nia takes out her friend, now Shayna takes out Asuka Can agree with keeping her away from Nia, but Shayna doesn't have the reputation of injuring people. This was just an accident. Look at the arm stomp that Shayna does, looks brutal as f*** and can go wrong, but Shayna's so far executed it perfectly. This was just an accident. I can't chalk this up to Shayna being reckless at all. Shayna wrestled a pregnant Becky and was tossing her around and kicking her ass, and Becky was perfectly fine. |

If she doesn't win this year, I don't ever see her winning at Wrestlemania. Eh, I could see her winning something, but it doesn't necessarily mean it'd be a marquee match. |

Yeah it's f***ing tragic that Asuka lost teeth, is concussed, and that plans may ahve been ruined, but like. Can you f***ing image if Shayna had slapped her leg, thereby breaking all illusion and immersion, and bespoiling the nobility of professional wrestling? Some sacrifices need to be made, and Asuka'd better be ready to make all those sacrifices to no credit or thanks from the company over it. Unless i'm mistaken, wasn't that just a mistake and not part of the no more slap the leg policy Sorry, we're in the hot takes business here. There's no such thing as a mistake. |

Mistakes are a problem. Having to make sure your kicks are more flush because you can't rely on thigh slapping can lead to more mistakes. The policy might not be causal to the injury, but can still look bad in light of the injury, because the entire concept of safety that the thigh slap is meant to give is lost, and this sort of tragic incident is at the extreme end of what people are trying to work safer to avoid. Just because some people want strawmen who say "Vince told everyone to go kick each other stupid because thigh slapping looks dumb" doesn't mean anybody is saying that. |

Charlotte vs Rhea for title at Mania, have Rhea get her win back from last year, and HARD RESET on that whole division.

Nia takes out her friend, now Shayna takes out Asuka Well to be absolutely fair to shayna this isn’t a trend for her to injure people in the ring and it was an accident. Nia on the other hand has form in being unsafe in the ring inured Becky which having rewatched it a few times since I still have no idea what nia was doing. An end of show brawl is something that’s easy to do. |

They could just have Asuka defend it in one of those multi-women matches they usually make the Smackdown champion defend in. If she isn't cleared in time, then it just turns into a number 1 contender match.

I don't think slaps help safety. If you mistime the kick then you mistime the kick either way. Sheamus kicked Jeff's tooth out and slapped his leg.  |

Where in the ever loving HELL does anything anywhere say this is what the talent has to do now?! The only people saying this are fans who seem to think wrestlers are morons who get told this policy and think to themselves, "Well durr, I guess I'll just have to kick people in the face as hard as I can now!!!" I've seen some dumb takes on things, but I can say this is the dumbest. |

I've seen some dumb takes on things, but I can say this is the dumbest. Here's some select quotes from that clip, if you don't feel like watching. "If you make solid contact, you're gonna have your noise." "One good solid kick, no matter where it is, if it's flush, it landed, you got it." "If you make solid contact, you're gonna have your noise. Just to try and concentrate on creating noise instead of contact is a mistake." I'm not saying people think "Oh yeah I got to go full f***ing force now." Obviously not. You're kinda tipping your hand in your own esteem of others for thinking that everyone else must be assuming people are as stupid as your tone's showing you think I am. But if you can't look at those above quotes and connect the dots yourself to see how maybe, if more kicks have to land to make the sound then that's more kicks that might, by accident, end up hurting somebody, then I will happily write a condescending forum post handholding you through the logical steps involved. But 'more flush' isn't me being a complete dumbass it's me quoting Arn Anderson's direct terminology about how you create kick sounds without slapping your thigh, so maybe I'm not a complete drooling-for-nickels buffoon in this sentiment. Wrestlers can make mistakes. Wrestlers do make mistakes. This thread is about a wrestler making a mistake. And drawing the lines from "You need your kicks to make contact to make the noise, no helping it along with your thigh" to "More people being kicked might lead to more botched kicks" is practically a connect-the-dots picture of a rubber duck. |

Charlotte vs Rhea for title at Mania, have Rhea get her win back from last year, and HARD RESET on that whole division. If Asuka's unable to return to the ring in time, I'd do an 8 woman tournament for the vacant title with the finals taking place at WM. Rhea Charlotte Peyton Nikki Cross Mandy Dana Naomi Lana |

You'd think considering she's most known for being a shoot style wrestler that she'd be injuring people left and right but, this is the only real case I can think of. |

Ruby said Shayna f***ed her jaw up once, but it sounded like it happened very early in Shayna's career when she was starting the transition from MMA. |

She’s scheduled for a match with Baszler tonight on RAW, so she’s possibly been cleared already.

WWE f***s around with a lot of stuff but I feel like concussions is one area where they don't f*** around. |
