Bring back Maki Itoh

[Vice honcho room temperature]

There I said it.

[Lupin the Third]

I agree with this sentiment.

I want Maki Itoh paired with Danhausen.

Boom. Million Dollars instantly.

Opposites attract.

and Yuka too...

[ppl591]

I hope eventually she comes over full time. I'm sure she'll be even better in ring when she does from working regularly.

[Kalmia]

I think she's too busy being a champ in TJPW to take time out and come to the States.

[Cyno]

Maki Itoh and Yuka Sakazaki are both champs in TJPW. Hopefully we're finally getting out of the pandemic and travel restrictions make international guest workers more feasible in the near future.

And Shoko! ...seriously, I need Shoko meeting Luchasaurus and then the two of them teaming in a Kaiju Big Battel match.

Maki is a titleholder in TJPW, but it's the International title; the main point of that belt is to interact more with foreign and non-TJPW talent so they put it on Itoh, who's got more international recognition than most of the rest of the roster. I won't be shocked at all if once travel is a little easier she pops up here and there to defend it stateside.

...I also can't get it out of my head how someone once took Mr. Sparkle's dialog and said it basically works as a Maki Itoh Tinder profile quote.

Prestige have booked her in May so maybe she'll stop by AEW while she's in the USA.
She's already mentioned a rematch with Thunder Rosa and it could be champion vs champion.

More importantly she's already got Suzuki and Onita in her neo respect army (or has at least teamed with them), surely Mox is the next logical step.

Travel's been a major issue for peeps like Maki and Yuka especially because TJPW uses them too much for them to be out for any periods of time

When that officially drops to "No quarantine needed", I think we see them again

[AwamoriRock]

She is almost definitely going to retain against Arai at TJPW's Grand Princess Sumo Hall show (although with how Arai's popularity has sky-rocketed nothing is certain, and that match could be really fun) this month, but like others said she has the International Princess Championship, which was originally made years ago for international defenses, and has said she wants to defend it in AEW and of course against Rosa, who initially beat her for the title. Prestige booking her in May in Portland suggests she could make a stop over in AEW on the way back to Japan. Miyu Yamashita is booked on the same shows and would be an even bigger treat to show up as well.

When Takagi was listing TJPW/DDT wrestlers he wanted to make guest appearances in AEW he named Hikari Noa (who is wrestling Hikaru Shida in a couple weeks at Grand Princess) and that would be great for me since she's my fav of the roster and would probably do well.

Been a few months but finally

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

The restrictions ending on the pandemic are going to allow this to happen so much more effortlessly, and I'm very glad for it

Itoh is over, Yuka apparently was too on Elevation pre-Dynamite too

[markymark]

TJPW said there will be more US excursions next month.

At the very least, they already have Miyu/Maki/Yuka with several overseas promotions booked.

[eJm]

Minor point and more of a nitpick than anything but I was gobsmacked when they had Itoh come out, they talk about her being Britt's tag partner last year...then showed a clip from said match on the bottom of the screen.

Like...you can do that stuff. Do it with matches from Dark or Elevation to showcase wins! It'll literally solve a lot of problems in a few seconds of footage!

[Glitch]

While we're on this, can not have the announcers talk over her music? I swear, Excalibur's voice was louder than her entrance.

[Abdullah]

I’ve never seen her before, and I came really impressed and charmed.
