Video of the match where "Forever 18" Cherry reveals her age. The 10 bell salute is amazing.

Is that Yoneyama at ringside wearing belt armor? :stare:

Mio apologizing for her sister implies she's aware Io is into recreational drugs, not that Io has basically been ostracized from society. Jeez. :psyduck:

Mio and Io not being their real names is a crushing blow. Next we'll find out Sachiko and Chisako are aliases.

Her slow descent into what, exactly? She was caught with some pot in a painting, which despite Japan's harsh view of the stuff does not imply she's a raging drug addict or something. While there's certainly a social stigma associated with dating Juggalos, that dude still has wrestlers sticking up for him, so it's not like that would've gotten her booted out of Triple Tails.

But isn't it true that if Io wanted to do these awful things, she'd distance herself from her closest friends and family? She doesn't even have to be doing anything but pot, but it's looked down upon in Japan heavily. It's unlike the US where you can get away with murder and people forgive and forget.

Are you basing the idea that Io's friends and family have all shunned her solely from that random guy's blog? Who also had this to say:

But befoer that, I was so surprised the fact that Io Shirai is NOSAWA Rongai's girl friend! and they are living together! Io Shirai is a beautiful wrestler. She once appeared Japanese famous TV show Ame talk. NOSAWA Rongai is 13 years older than Io Shirai. And NOSAWA Rongai is ugly. The reason why the fact that they are living together revealed is that police asked them their address. I am so jealous.

That goes for anybody with a fanbase. There's always going to be a creepy obsessive minority that go crazy over stuff like that. Japan is maybe unique in that some stuff gets directly marketed to that sub-fanbase to get more money out of them.

I don't know anything about people in Japan's views on pot, but I'd imagine it varies from person to person like it would anywhere.

I wouldn't really consider "Otaku" as the norm in Japan, but typically Japanese are more reserved and private about their personal lives, in contrast to America and the UK where tabloids are some of the biggest forms of entertainment.

They have lots of tabloid and rumor-mongering poo poo over there too.

The thing with the anime chick was a paper published photos of her post-coitus with a bandmate, and she had apparently hosed all her band mates. Not sure why this got left out of the previous post since, when you google, that's all you actually see and not much stuff about fans burning cartoons.

Actually I read the same thing last night while I was looking up voice actors and Google suggested it. It just said she revealed on a TV show she likes old guys and a bunch of enraged fans started breaking their merchandise. It didn't mention the actual scandal at all.

Wasn't Aikawa the gravure idol who got kicked in the boobs a lot until she was accepted as a pro wrestler?

Is the red on her chest from the blood or from chops?

That should be the picture people get shown when they ask what joshi wrestling is like. :gonk:

She seems to do a lot of top-rope legdrops. Maybe she's been Hoganized.
