Is Akai a model/idol turned wrestler like Jurina? I ask because she seems so stiff in the ring. Given her height, I think she could be like a ladyhoss but she's so skinny.

Yes, she's a fashion model.

Hard to believe that there are only two weeks left of the MYC. Next week are all the quarterfinal matches, and then the week after are the two semi final matches. Speaking of women's wrestling, has anyone heard anything about that Women of Wrestling program that is supposedly launching on AXS? I looked at their site and felt a bit skeevy.

They have a website and youtube videos if you're interested. As said its super campy stuff from the exact same guy who did GLOW. Its got some real wrestlers involved but its also got a bunch of actresses trained to wrestle (Melissa Santos was one of them). Its had a weird life where it ran as a season and a PPV like 20 years ago, returned a few years back and has been filming stuff for years but without an actual TV Show so they just release clips and call them "seasons" or something and occasionally do a new round of tapings and title changes for a "new season." I imagine they've just been shopping for a TV slot this entire time but its very odd.

So they announced a handful of women for a "Creative Has Nothing For You" Battle Royal. The only people on the main roster not booked on the show so far is...

Raw:
Natalya
Bayley
Sasha Banks
Liv Morgan
Ruby Riott
Sarah Logan

SD:
Zelina Vega

So we're clearly getting that tag match. Maybe they'll add Zelina to the battle royal with some ?

That battle royal is gonna have a bunch of NXT women too like Dakota Kia, Mia Yim, Nikki Cross, etc.

I wish they built up multiple storylines for Evolution. They had so long to build it up that they could have created storylines and continued them past PPVs until they would ultimately pay off at Evolution.

They build to multiple PPVs at once now so it's kind of hard to do that.

You would think after all these months and months of random women's tag matches that they were building to something. That Sasha Bayley storyline from a few months ago was awful, but I assumed there was an end goal to them forming a tag team.

I thought this whole time they were building up to a Women's Tag Team Title tournament, they lose and blow up at each other, and then the big blow off match happens at Evolution.

Nope. Just throw them with Nattie

They uploaded the MYC episode early this week. Probably the best episode of the 7 so far. But, that 3rd match is.....hard to watch.

The one thing the live crowd didn't hear is Tegan telling the trainers "I'm good, I'm good" before attempting to continue. You could tell by her tone how desperate she was to continue. It makes what happened even more heartbreaking.

Followed Nixon's climb on the UK indies and met her a few times in passing. Couldn't help get weepy.

She disclosed her status finally. It is worse than Janela's:

Can't help but wonder how much easier the recovery would've been if she hadn't tried to work through it. Coincidentally enough, one of the times HHH blew his knee/quad out, the doctor told him that essentially a grenade went off inside his leg and asked HHH what he was thinking trying to grind through it. HHH just kinda shrugged sheepishly.

I assume with all the apologizing she was supposed to win, so that probably contributes a bit to her trying to make it work.
