MY/THE GOAT IS FINALLY HOME!

After 6yrs I can FINALLY get to watch Io go 100% again for even just a night (please HatMan I need you to negotiate more matches to bring her back).

Me when that music hits in sumo hall and for the proceeding 30+min.

Keep in mind, card subject to change, but according to a friend in Japan, they are advertising this as the house show match for one of the nights on the upcoming Japan tour:

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}
Shayna Baszler, Sonya Deville, and Zoey Stark vs IYO SKY, Kairi Sane, and Dakota Kai

I am just gonna copy what I posted in the MariGold thread because I am just on such a f***ing majestic feeling right now.

for me this wasn't about whether IYO won or lost THIS WAS ABOUT REMINDING EVERYONE WHO THE f*** THIS WOMAN IS!! and she not only showed but she proved AINT NO ONE BARRING a handful of other currently active Joshi IS ON HER GAWD DAMN LEVEL.



And a reminder IYO f***ing did this after bumping and dieing like a mad woman at MITB...then went to Raw took 3 different finishers and then got a plane for 14hrs and put on THIS? f*** yalls for thinking anyone is on this womans level because she put on a performance that very few could match with the schedule she has been taking on this month and she still has the Japan tour to do.



GIVE THIS WOMAN HER f***ING FLOWERS because tonight showed how wide the gap is between the REAL Io and the WWE version and it aint even f***ing close....IYO sky may as well be moving in slow motion in WWE after watching her tonight.



I told yall Io hits f***ing different and she hits levels that are unreal...THE GOAT OF HER GENERATION! And I am so so so happy for Utami she got to wrestle her idol and what a performance from her and there is no doubt in my mind IO won tonight because it sets the table for the rematch down the line.

[PHD-FENDERBAUM]

The look on her face here I have never seen her this happy in awhile.

Literally had the time of her life through that entire match and just kept with her.

[J is Justice]

She's still got it! *clap clap claplapclap* She's still got it! *clap clap clapclapclap*

Note: She'esalwayshaditshewasjustholdingbackinWWE.

Gonna guess that between the MARIGOLD show earlier today and the overseas tour in Japan next week that they’re gonna have Damage Ctrl out for a few weeks to sell last week’s beat down before returning for revenge.

[Totorob101]

Iyo just looks like a superstar doesn't she? And a heel vs heel feuds with Sonyas team sounds like fun, just 6 badass women beating each other up should be awesome

[PHD-FENDERBAUM]

Just a little run down.

Besides the usual weekly TV beforehand.
She competes in MITB and f***ing just dies 
Then goes to Raw competes in a six woman tag and takes 3 different finishers
flies 14hrs to Japan
Wrestles a style she hasn't had to in 6yrs

And put on a no holding back 100% full tilt IO SHIRAI match and did it so flawlessly and effortlessly it felt like these six years never happened and she never left Japan and walked in there and was just the best wrestler on the show and it was not close and that is not to take anything away from every other woman on the show but Io is in her own damn level.

This is not even just me heaping praise but this is praise from across the damn board and deservedly it cannot be emphasised how gawd damn special she is and what this showed is she is literally holding back like 90% so every other woman in WWE could feasably keep up and that is the most insane thought that she could just turn to this anytime she clearly wants but holds back purposefully.


And this match is now the highest rated womens match of all time on Cagematch.

Yeah, I fully expect Damage CTRL to be the faces here, with them probably going over, because its Shayna, Zoey, and Sonya. Sonya alone has had almost 500 matches in her career, and won less than 100. That is utterly abysmal.

If Bianca vs Jade is being saved for next years WM, then this feud between Damage Ctrl and SSZ will probably be a sidequests to keep IYO busy before going after Rhea. I can see this year’s War Games match being Rhea/Damage Ctrl vs Liv/SSZ with a stare down between Rhea/IYO post-match

That is my running theory here and has been since IYO got drafted to Raw.

IYO is either winning the rumble or chamber and it will be her Vs Rhea at Mania and all of this is just to keep IYO and the rest of Dmg Cntrl busy and away from Rhea in the mean time meanwhile they are gonna run Rhea Vs Liv for atleast the next 3 PLE's which should get us to the build to the rumble.

IYO talks about the difference between Japanese and stateside fans.

Also this is what she had to say about using certain moves she does not use in WWE aka I hold the f*** back as not to kill those western hooches.

IYO SKY on using the Tombstone Piledriver against Utami Hayashishita:



"Today, I fought not as WWE superstar IYO SKY, but in a Japanese style.



In order to beat her (Hayashishita), I had no choice but to use the Tombstone before the finish. I think it was her power that brought out moves that I don't use in WWE.

IYO on how it felt to be performing back in Japan.

IYO SKY on how she felt performing in front of the Japanese fans again:



"It gave me courage. The way they said, 'Welcome back' and every single pause between the cheers was completely different from America, and I felt a deep fondness for it, thinking, 'This is Japan. I'm back.
