Damage CTRL Support Island: Return Of The King (Kota)

[schma]

I feel like if she goes face, it shouldn't be full hugger. However, if she uses the hugs sparingly, I think they could get some pretty awesome pops.

*Brandisgss fantasy booking pen*
Izzy gets brought in for a segment, confronting her idol and calling her out for all the terrible things she has done, all the people she’s hurt, the fans whose beards she broke. Bayley looks pissed, ready to lay the upstart out-until Izzy tells her “ I still think you’re the best. I still love you!” A shocked Bayley drops her mic, complete with audible thud. Her eyes well over with tears and she embraces her super fan, casting off her villainous ways to to turn face again.

Edit: realistically, if we are looking to capitalize for maximum momentum-Jade Cargill should oust Bayley as the new leader.

Only if Lince Dorado shows up and demands her father fight him in the parking lot.

Now I wanna see someone do this and then add in all the titles they won in Japan.

Dakota feels like she’s totally in on it with Iyo, Kairi, and Asuka as well.

They could reference Dakota having history in Japan as motivation potentially?

Dakota said in the promo she and IYO brought KAIRI back.

So Dakota has sided with IYO for a reason which I am interested to see what that reason is...and I said it before it easily sets her up to feud with Bayley down the line and also this could have been something that left Dakota behind to kind of be fogotten about but instead they have nicely actually made Dakota feel more important than she previously has.

Hell the other detail that is kind flying by the wayside right now...is that it did not seem initially that IYO and KAIRI even knew about Asuka ...I would have to go back to see Dakotas reaction but maybe she did than that asks how the hell did Dakota pull that off.

So Meltzer had more to say about Giulia and WWE's offer to her.

Meltzer wrote, “The Giulia stuff is far more serious as she has an “offer” and obviously Stardom and Rossy Ogawa are aware of it, and she’s close to Ogawa and did have a verbal agreement to work with him next year.”

If she goes to WWE and signs an NXT deal, then it could be matched by NJPW. If she signs a main roster deal, which starts at $250,000, that is more than “she can make in Japan by a wide margin.”

Interesting she has verbally agreed to work with Rossy next year but who knows for how long and also loyalty is very important in Japan so this could be the preverbial road block of showing up soon after he contract is up in march...maybe she debuts later in the year again depending on the verbal agreement between she and Rossy.

I mean, I don’t think loyalty is a huge dealbreaker for Giulia =P

JOSHI ISLAND GOES TO WAR AND WE GONNA SINK THEIR BATTTLE SHIPS!


Anime style of course.

Just need a fitting song....oh got it.

lol

The women's war games advantage is being determined by...a goddamn poll on WWE.com. What the hell? You could just have Kairi beat Shotzi or something.

[asuka007]

Dakota in kayfabe speaks Japanese (she did tours of Japan pre-WWE, but I have no clue if she speaks the language IRL)?

I like that detail.

Yeah I’m ready for babyface Bayley again. It’s been over 4 years. I don’t need the full Hugger look. Just the music would be fine. And the t shirt of cause!

And of cause the U.K. will just give her bigger reactions than before.

Yeah, I’m interested in what babyface post-Hugger Bayley actually looks like. She can’t exactly go back full-tilt into that gimmick, but there’s elements of it that she can invoke at different points if she needs to. Just, having properly colourful gear again would suffice.

I imagine some of the aesthetic would come back, albeit maybe not the side-pony.

If they want to really sell that she's a blend of new and old, though, have her wail on someone with a kendo stick to show she's moved past that hesitation.
