Is Asuka the best kayfabe friend in WWE?

We know who the worst friend is (I'm looking at YOU, Kevin Owens), but I've been thinking about who the best is and she has to at least be up there. She seems like she's always there for her pals and to my knowledge she's never betrayed anyone, which is something you can't say for most of the roster.

Well there was her misting Paige, though given how half assed that relationship seemed most of the time you could argue that was essentially Asuka turning on a loose associate.

I somehow forgot all about that, but I'm going to say Paige deserved it.

Depending on what time of day it is, Big Show is either everyone’s best friend or worst energy.

The rest of time he's just really tall.

Because of his massive size he can qualify as a local man anywhere.

Asuka is the friendship of tomorrow.

There’s no point in vilifying WWE faces for not being allowed to help out other babyfaces, because the company has had a deep rooted “the real stars fight their own battles, pal!” mentality in their writing for years.

[Magnus the Magnificent]

Anyone but Rey Mysterio.
Worst friend ever.

Which is part of many problems with WWE’s writing, but that’s a topic for another thread.

Which makes no sense because like... the first boom was all around Hogan... and Hogan was friends with like EVERYBODY.

yeah, the attitude era had lone wolf Austin but even he came out when someone messed with JR....

I mean, based on that thumbnail, you could argue that she was nice enough to aim for the forehead so that most of it wouldn't get in Paige's eyes.

I'd say Kurt Angle is the best kayfabe friend because when he'd be on the phone at the start of a backstage segment, he's the ONLY ONE who would end with saying "Goodbye" or "Let me call you right back" and not just hang up.

And while he may not have been their friend, he was at least nice enough to let KO and Sami know that TNA was hiring when both were looking for work.

I would love to see the three of them team up as a regular unit and just go around destroying everything in their path. also I also loved kairi calling asuka "big sis" during one of their backstage segments. it's like Io and kairi and asuka's wrestling lil siblings she makes sure she looks out for. (and murder-death-kill anyone who looks at them funny)

He’s a good friend for the fact that he’ll get you and a mate tiny cowboy hats and serenade you with “Jimmy Cracked Corn” to put a smile on your face.

And Lone Wolf Austin had a habit of coming out to make the save for Mick Foley in a beatdown situation.

Mind you, this isn't unique for Mick. Once The Rock n Sock Connection made up in late 1999, The Rock was rushing out for Foleys aid for years afterwards.
