Norwegian Rudo Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 On 5/25/2018 at 10:34 AM, TildeGuy~! said: The Observer are reporting Toni Storm and Io Shirai are the first 2 names confirmed for the Mae Young Classic in August Where are they reporting this? I'm a subscriber and I can't see this anywhere. They've reported Toni has signed a WWEUK contract and is likely to be in the tournament, but nothing about any names being confirmed, and nothing about Io at all that I can see. What kept Io from being signed was first reported to be a neck issue, but later Meltzer said it was actually a heart issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Wanted to mention the heart rumour myself but didn't know if there was any truth to it. Whatever the reason no one is talking. I'm also finding little online about current rumours other than some articles (most going back to February) saying that she still hopes to get a deal. Someone posted a short interview with Io on Reddit and she was name dropping Charlotte and Asuka. If legit she clearly wants a WWE run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) And everyone on Twitter is bitching about it. The typical mouthbreathers saying they'll use her wrong, having her lose to Funaki etc. Edited May 28, 2018 by Merzbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted May 28, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2018 I’ve read people say they’re going to waste her just like the did Asuka. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I saw similar tweets too! They must have confused 'wasted' with 'turned her into a global star', the fucking dimwits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted May 28, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2018 Is Io Shirai actually good or is she rubbish like Karai Sane? Because she is offensively bad. I don't think I've seen weaker offense from a male or female superstar in my entire time watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all depends how she is used in WWE though of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've seen weaker offense from a male or female superstar in my entire time watching. Nothing special and certainly not the 'best female wrestler in the world'. I've desribed her before as generic. Very little competition for her in her homeland, at least in terms of native, female Japanese wrestlers. Possibly the best of an increasingly poor bunch, if you like. Kairi isn't rubbish. She was over in Japan and not just because kawaii. I'd excpect half-decent matches if the 2 face each other, but that'd just be STARDOM again, in a different ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I’ve never heard of her because I don’t follow a whole lot of Japanese wrestling outside of New Japan. I assume “using her wrong” is just not having her steamroll everybody and giving her the Daniel Bryan burial treatment by, shock horror, have her lose a match at some point? So what would using her “right” be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. That's pretty much how I understand 'using him/her wrong' and 'wasting talent' whenever the neckbeards cry it on Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Good for Io. Means I won't be watching her as much as I used to (can't even be arsed with NXT anymore to be honest) but I'm sure she'll do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Supremo Posted May 28, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2018 Gallows and Anderson were over in Japan. They’re absolutely rubbish. I don’t mind Kairi, but I think I’m biased because I’m in love with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
