Maki Itoh would do well in AEW. By all accounts. AEW wants her. Looks like Maki is doing what she can in Japan first.

AEW has already proven that they can't be trusted to do an exploding death match, so this weekend Itoh is doing one at Wrestle Peter Pan.

Actually the deathmacth itself was really good and the post match explosion was rigged by an outside company,not in house.So if anything they should trust in thenselves more

This year has been awesome for her. Between the exploding barbwire bat match where she teamed with Atsushi Onita (Okay that was last year but still), her apparently getting super into Michinoku Pro Wrestling during the pandemic leading to her being booked in a Michinoku Pro Wrestling inspired six man where she teams with Super Delfin and pays tribute to Gran Naniwa (Love that match and DDT put it on youtube) coming to the US for AEW, winning the Princess Cup and with the up coming exploding match where she teams with Onita, I can't help but feel Maki seems to be just having a great time this year.

I just saw Maki's victory. That was in no way in character tears. We didn't see her crybaby crying. She was overwhelmed with happiness for real. Maki finally got what she deserved. I can't wait for her to be back in AEW!

Maki has four new shirts(ok two new and two variants of previous) on PWT; a pink version of her Neo Itoh Respect shirt, a red version of her Simp shirt, a shirt celebrating her Princess Cup win(the one I’m getting), and a meme “Queen Shit” shirt where she holding a gun.

Maki Itoh is the drizzling shits as a wrestler. The next time I see her trying to wrestle will be too soon.

Her last two matches (vs Mizuki in the semis of the Princess Cup and vs Shoko in the final, hell even going back to the tag title match and her match against Miyu) are really good, great even. She’s limited but imo goes bonkers in big matches. I think the idea that she’s not good in the ring but all character is outdated by about half a year by now.

Plus even if she wasn’t that great in the ring, so what? As long as she wasn’t actually injuring anyone, her character work alone was enough to draw an audience. I really dislike the idea that everyone in wrestling needs to be able to consistently do 4 star matches at minimum or be utterly worthless. Wrestling is live athletic theatre, emphasis on the theatre part. You need characters. If a card is filled with nothing but people who can perfectly execute 360 flippy assbusters or whatever, that is going to get boring as everything will bleed together after a while.

Like, for me, the only unacceptable thing is if you're a Van Hammer and can't hit moves for crap and constantly look like you're about to literally kill your opponent because you have zero idea what you're doing. If you pass that threshold, you're acceptable.

Her moveset in the final princess cup match looks much more polished. She is far from from being drizzling shits in the ring.

It still annoys me that some people assume she can't work after two matches in AEW (where she looked just fine in one of them).

People saw that and use that any time they want to shit on her and cast her aside Because god forbid any wrestler ever have one awkward career moment.

And even that was understandable, seeing how she had an earpiece on at the time that she did those mic shots and doing a full-on hit with the mic could have blown her eardrum out.
