Can we choose to ignore it then, instead of catering it every time and hijacking the thread with the constant back and forth. It'd also be nice if they could take the hint and not talk about them every single time to try and bait reaction but I guess that's not gonna happen. It's just tedious that any time a Joshi is mentioned here it has to be turned into this same runaround back and forth. Whether it's about a Joshi that could come in or Joshi who are already here doing their thing. It's obsessive how much they seem to put over other wrestlers in the division while also trying to take digs at Joshi. Like trying to will all the other girls to get over so he never has to see Joshi again... and the reason people conflict with him about it including me is that is a TERRIBLE look... it's drifting into uncomfortable lanes that aren't about wrestling anymore. As I said if I wanted that I'd listen to a certain dude from Louisville... and this is why I don't lol. Yeah the fact that he rushes in to talk shit about Joshi is starting to come across as deeply concerning and some "if you want to watch lucha libre, go to Japan" type of stuff. It's really starting to come across like a problem with Japanese women.

Poor dears having to share this place with the opinions of others. No everybody has fixation with joshi & comparing Shida's reign with of Britt's pretty much proves my point. Door has closed on division being a joshi novelty & that's a great thing, but ppl fantasy booking joshi factions going to war or feud stretching over from small Japanese promotions have no idea.

Not everyone indeed has a fixation with Joshi. But you sure as hell seem to for someone who hates them so much. And you constantly bumping up to users who might be fantasy booking Joshi in AEW or sharing posts about Joshi's having a dream of wrestling with AEW with shit like "It's not gonna happen. Joshi are a novelty. AEW has moved on." isn't an opinion. It's flat wrong. It keeps being proven wrong to you. Yet you just ignore it and keep going. It's become downright insufferable and eye rolling to see you literally rush in here to complain about the next wrong and bad thing Joshi are doing with your tinfoil hat on. I'm glad I'm not the only one to speak up about it either.

It's really starting to come across like a problem with Japanese women. I never said that nor do I have a problem with wrestlers from particular countries. My favorite wrestler is Mariko Yoshida. Such a line of argument avoids valid criticism of a division which is peaking in recent months.

This is so ridiculous. Emi wasn’t getting a standing ovation but they were responding to her. She was adequately over for a return squash. Nothing to get excited about either way really.

If your favorite wrestler is a Joshi, then why in gods name are you constantly peddling this shit that "Joshi arent over/are niche" and should just be swept out of the states? I have to imagine if Yoshida saw your comments she'd shake her head.

Honestly it went beyond Emi's reaction and more that this has been weeks of the same user doing the same thing with no break with every Joshi wrestler mentioned in the thread. The straw breaking the camels back if you will.

You aren't stating opinions. You're stating bigoted garbage that's easily disproven.

Opinion: I don't like Emi Sakura. Not an opinion: Nobody cared about Emi Sakura. Opinion: Britt is a great draw and the domestic talent they're rounding up and developing look like really great cornerstones for a way stronger division than the troubled one AEW started off with. Not an opinion: Japanese women being broguht in are inherently a novelty and anyone who likes them is selfishly demanding that AEW get worse.

One of the best decisions they've made this last year was bringing her in.

Also shows the girls aren't just keeping viewers but Rosa's drawing the highest numbers of the night. Glad for her. Glad for Ford too who had to wrestle the match in street clothes because her gear got lost...

Takes two to tango and you've got on some fancy dancing shoes in most of these tedious exchanges. I get you want to have a spirited debate, that's what the forum is for, but honestly speaking here, do you think you were having an actual conversation there?

I can understand why TK doesnt want Rosa to resume the Britt feud right away, he knows that feud is money and can the best feud in the history of AEW Women division.
They should heat up Kris asap with just 2 1/2 weeks away from All Out and its almost a given Velvet will go back to Elevation once Jamie beats her clean.

I get you want to have a spirited debate, that's what the forum is for, but honestly speaking here, do you think you were having an actual conversation there? The reason I was responding to them at all is because their posts had gotten tedious. Not just for me but multiple people in the thread. It started as simple counterpoints and then unfortunately it just kept getting worse... and my posts in the end didn't really have much to do with how Pippen would respond to Joshi. It became nothing of opinions as other posters have since pointed out and more of a tedious slog that people were just trying to sort out. I like debate. I also like civil and worthwhile conversation... none of what was happening there was giving me or anyone else in the thread those things. And again no one wasn't saying Pippen couldn't have their opinion... but it just drifted well out of that lane and began just flat out being logic defying takes. This really isn't how I wanted it to go... but at least I know I wasn't the only one tired of seeing it I suppose.

I brought up recently that Mel (Melanie Cruise) was still featured on the AEW roster page, despite not working any AEW shows in over a year. Well, she has now been removed, so she has indeed been released or her deal ran out. She has been working the indies lately.

I do love that Punk specifically mentioned Britt both in his promo and during the post-show press conference. Hopefully, with Punk on-side, the Women's Division might get more consideration moving forward. *crosses fingers*
