DM Punk posted:She's literally a tag champion in SHIMMER, the gold standard for women's wrestling outside of Japan. She's basically a regular in almost every major women's fed in the US. Really the only big companies she doesn't work for is Beyond/WWR, AAW, and Nova Pro. Like with others those belts were probably put on her as Prazak knew WWE had no interest in her between tapings. The former Champs are MYC II entrant Vanessa Kraven and then angling to sign to WWE Tessa Blanchard.

Cavauro posted:who would you say is more of a wwe staple between Blue Pants and Tessa Blanchard. All-time Leva was literally brought in to do one job for Carmella and she turned it into a bunch of return bookings. She was never meant to even be noticed and she got her own WWE shirt out of it. Pretty cool honestly. She was never gonna get a contract due to age and other factors but she made the most of her opportunity.

Leva's put in the road work but her physical skill is still green. She'll blow spots, lose holds and gas out quickly. A lot of it has to do with how shallow the women's talent pool has been for the longest time. Before SHIMMER, there were no main event level talent being cultivated. Women were 10 minute feature spots and nothing else. poo poo has changed. Look at where Gabby Ortiz's skill level is vs Leva's. Women coming up now have more opportunities to put in the work and learn. And I'm not saying this to poo poo on Leva. She's entertaining but when you compare her work vs other younger talents, you can see why she's getting squeezed out of these top dollar spots.

Leva is never gonna be the star attraction to a show. She's there to fill a role. She's the goofy, fun, light-hearted match. There's more to wrestling than just moves and technical ability. Leva excels in charisma, character, and crowd participation. I've seen a ton of shows where she's had longer merch lines than more skilled workers. I honestly thought her and Mia Yim made a great team because as good in ring as Mia is, she was never the best promo. So, they complimented each other really well.

Their break up was a relative money feud in SHINE. Before SHINE SHINE'D. When Mia mocked Leva's injury and dressed up as an injured Leva it drew legit heat. Also, I've said in the past Leva and Alison Danger's tag team in SHIMMER were more than sufficient over to win their tag titles when the roster depth was really deep. I am just providing a degree in balance here.

I feel like Neveah and Havok were supposed to be the ones to take the tag straps off Tessa and Kraven, but Tessa showed up and gave notice the taping before Neveah was healthy (thought she was getting signed?). Also, the Takeover stuff is legit. Granted, no one would know about it if salty talents weren't working overtime to bury her.

Gearl Hebner got introduced by what seems like her shoot name at DEFY tonight. Got very loud applause and you deserve it chants. She seemed surprised and got emotional (positive way), and turned away for a bit to compose herself.

The Mirror has confirmed that Toni Storm will be a part of the MYC II. Not really shocking, but whatever. That being said, I don't think she'll win due to being an NXT UK talent, and likely being the inaugural NXT UK Women's Champion. https://twitter.com/maeyoungclassic/status/1022609342082809857?s=21

Rovert posted about it, but here's the official confirmation on Meiko being in the MYC this year. https://twitter.com/MaeYoungClassic/status/1022845306097025024 This is a very huge deal for WWE as she is a wrestling legend, and easily the top female wrestler in the world. The only person who comes even remotely close to her is Io.

Yeah, I bet she faces Io in like the semis, as a big showcase match. Kinda like how they had ZSJ face Gulak in the CWC and Shayna vs Mercedes in the first MYC.

I really want to like her but she needs to tighten up her grappling and footwork. A 10th planet mall bjj whitebelt would sweep her effortlessly.

GEORGE W BUSHI posted:Any speculation on who the To Be Announced is? Absolutely no clue at all. Hana isn't back until September. And a lot of the gaijin they wanted to bring in are booked elsewhere or a part of the MYC. Speaking of the MYC, while I wouldn't rule out Mia Yim getting a contract, I am leaning towards no again. She's accepting bookings in September apparently, and is also wrestling at the F4D convention in August. As a result, I sorta expect her to be eliminated in the second or third round.

Just like the MYC and the CWC there's a chance that someone can be totally outstanding and end up getting signed full time. I think Mia Yim has a chance to get in and retire there. I still wish Kris Wolf could be brought in for a spot then become a female announcer because despite her age, she's one of the most energetic and likable people out there and has TONS of charisma.

I don't think Kris does or is willing to play the game so to speak in terms of "calling the office"/emailing WWE talent relations. Which can take a lot of resolve and outside advise in terms of approach and what to emphasise. Kris in an interview said lots of fellow wrestlers told her to apply for MYC but she spaced out on applying. I think most people posting in this thread have a fair account of how she is like IRL in terms of being really ADD/ADHD, anxious, unsure of herself and definitely not having an appreciation for her value.

Yep, Round robins are pretty common in Japanese promotions, and as I understand it, the 5 Star GP is kind of the women's G1.

the cool thing about Stardom is they open the matches with subtitled pretape promos so every show is a great place to dive in. They don't run really detailed stories so most of the angles are "gimme a title shot" or "let me join your faction" Its pure and simple quality joshi with the occasional gaijin talent.
