Abadon vs Emi Sakura Appreciation

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

This is an Elevation you should go out of your way to watch in general, but this was a great match between these two.

Crowd was way into both, and both played off each other so well. Abadon's really improving, and her matches with Joshi continue to be really good. This and Ryo were some of her best matches and I hope she gets some bouts with Riho or Yuka, or even an excursion in TJPW.

Definitely worth checking out though, great stuff!

Didn't like it as much as Abadon/Mizunami, but a good showcase for what kind of wrestler Abadon's turning into. The various sentons and such add a little more meat to her Attitude Era style brawling, and she's working the gimmick without relying on it to fill time in place of moves.

Ryo's still her best match, honestly, I wanna see them run it back because Abadon's improved so much

And yeah she's working more moves into her set, this is really important for her in terms of getting more consistent screentime for match pacing. She needs ways to fill match time through PIP's and such as well. She's been a pet project for them for awhile and the results are nice so far.

Abadon has done a great job of getting into wicked Shape.

And she plays off of Joshi’s so well.

It's why I said I think she'd do great for a TJPW talent exchange. She'd fit right in with the gimmicks there, and the Joshi could react to her and her gimmick super well. Definitely one of the one's I'd consider for an excursion at some point along with like maybe Skye Blue and AQA

I’m not an expert or anything. But from what I’ve heard, there’s particular things in Japanese culture and faith regarding demons and spirits. Which might explain why the Joshi sell Abadon’s gimmick the way they do?

They sold Su Yung really well when she was doing the gimmick over there too. Similar in tone to Abadon's. Legendary reactions from Yuka Sakazaki

Japanese is the example of "spiritual but not religious".

But a few things that help is that the core belief is that everything has a spirit and everything is spiritually connected but it takes an aspect in their daily lifes in less intrusive ways than other religions in other countries.

Also Japan is the birth of many popular ,gruesome horror stories, movies themed around the supernatural, and horror houses are extremely popular there.Which I assume has more to do with it.

Now I'm wondering how Rika Tatsumi would react to her. I mean her old tag team partner Maho Kurone was a zombie, a very different much nicer zombie but still a zombie. The more I think about it, the more I want to see Rika try and befriend Abadon
