Iyo also signed with STARDOM right when she was part of Triple Tails with Asuka and Io’s sister Mio. I imagine that did not help matters either. And it was the best choice IYO could have made. Triple Tails was successfull but IYO has always been to me someone that always bets on herself and she has succeeded everywhere and is now in icon status.

Speaking of Minoru Suzuki, they actually had a really solid match together. And she wanted Suzuki at his most Suzuki instead of holding back because of Asuka's gender, which only made him respect her more.

Also that’s just a thing in Japanese wrestling. Hikaru Shida did something similar when she faced Naomichi Marufuji as well.

It continues:
She isn't lying about this, by the way. Her produced shows regularly did very well attendance wise, usually breaking 1000 people. So the media over there would definitely want preferential access, despite the fact that as she said there, she prioritized fans over the media.

I'm so used to Wrestling Twitter almost exclusively talking about stupid bullshit that it's absolutely surreal to Asuka just going off all week about super complex corporate disputes.

Oh yeah, take it with a grain of salt and all that (as Dave's joshi sources are notoriously unreliable, especially when it comes to Asuka), but Dave mentioned that she isn't working here, that there is an actual story to her latest tweets and he plans to put an article out about it on Thursday.

It feels like that tweet talking of what sounded like she is getting ready to retire soon even though not quite yet and then this feels like she is making is crystal clear that when this is done do not expect any sort of even part time run back in Japan.

I'm amazed at how many western STARDOM fans are up in arms over Asuka's tweets about this, screaming about how this is opening up these women to attacks by mindless WWE fans.
When Asuka has gone out of her way to say that she doesn't know how the promotion is these days, she doesn't follow it, and don't attack the talent working there. All these people are doing is proving Asuka's point right.

Pineapple Pizza is fantastic, the sweetness of the pineapple just enhances the savoury and the texture is beautiful.
