KingofSports Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 The best women's wrestler of all time, 'Dangerous Queen' Akira Hokuto in London last week. She's on a cruise. Currently in Scandinavia: Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's people pointing out that it's fucking stupid on a whole bunch of levels. And it's the kind of thing that's far more risk than any reward it has potential for is worth. Some people are going to think it reflect badly on wrestling in terms of safety. Some are going to think it's invasive of other people's space. Some are going to think it's sleazy as fuck for a 30-year-old bloke to be that enthusiastic about any kind of physicality with a 15-year-old girl.

Oh Iâm not using her as an example of why this is acceptable (although wasnât her spinal issues always with her, wrestling just sped up the decline). My point was there was no outrage about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should she not be afforded this opportunity on the grounds of that sheâs a girl? she was working with a very accustomed wrestler who no doubt would keep her safe, and is arguably better than putting her in a match with someone less experienced. Shes incredibly talented so why not reward her with a chance to be a key part of the card? If she wants to do these match types, so be it. I would also argue that all across the globe there is young wrestlers wrestling a variety of matches every week, with varying ages and skill levels. Would you rather she fulfils her wrestling match fantasies in the backyard, with light tubes and untrained pals, just because it doesnât conform to what you think is right for her to be doing what sheâs doing on a show? There is also kids much younger than Chantal that participate in all sorts of combat sports like boxing and martial arts, and donât have the luxury of the person who is your opponent looking out for you. Dare I say it some of these situations are much more dangerous. Maybe if she was 13 and taking legit punches to the face and head as a boxer itâd be far more acceptable? Also, is it not entirely within the realms of possibility that the police, and local shops were in on it? Or is that far too sensible? shes a cracking talent from what Iâve seen and Janela elevated her. Wow. For a start Iâm not outraged I just think itâs dumb as fuck and a sad inditement on the wrestling business. No I donât think 15 year old girls (or boys for that matter) should be having matches in front of a paying audience. The argument that âoh well Rey Rey started wrestling at 9â is B.S. 50 year old men used to marry 13 year old girls, doesnât make it right. She might be amazingly talented but any responsible adult who has any ounce of respect for the business would encourage her to continue to train in a safe environment until the age of 18 at which point she can do whatever the fuck she likes. Yes Iâd rather she fulfilled her fantasies with her pals in the backyard. Like, you know, I did, because I was 15 at the time and thatâs what kids do. Believe it or not I actually think itâs a positive thing for kids to learn a form of self-defence however show me one example of a grown adult having a boxing match against a 13 year old where theyâre getting punched in the face and head. The police would laugh in your face if you approached them regarding something like that. Elevated her to what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thatâs a very odd question which Iâm not sure even dignifies a response. My comment on the police laughing in your face was in regard to someone approaching them saying âjust letting you know if you see a 30 year old man piledriving a 15 year old girl on a car, donât worry itâs just wrestling innitâ! My comment saying âelevated to whatâ was in regards to Janela. Heâs elevating her to what? The level of a 30 year old man who wrestles kids? Not a very high level to elevate someone to if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
