As for the results of the MYC, I've talked about it before, but I would say the two names I could see winning (or rather, should win) are Toni Storm or Kairi Hojo. Maybe Candice LaRae, but I don't know about that too much.

I fully expect it to be a TJP like person though.
So Mia Yim?

Sounds like Britt Baker isn't in the MYC which is a shame since she is probably one of the best despite being only starting around 2 years ago.

One thing I love from this batch is finding out that Marti Belle was so bad they changed the finish midmatch and had Evers win which makes sense since even looking bad tonight she's has much more potential to have good matches

Do people really not like Lacey Evans; her gimmick, or both?

I think it's a cool homage to the "We can do it posters", with a touch of classy sex appeal. Plus she's got that cool Marine SWAT background, which made actually look up what MARINES call in SWAT for.
gently caress the police, doubly so for Military Police :colbert:

I have no problem with Shayna as a worker. But I do think she only got this far because of Ronda. I doubt she would be in this spot otherwise. Its a valid concern and will likely hang over the tournament like a dark cloud if Shayna does end up winning.
Didn't she also help some of the Total Divas/Bellas crew train in a couple of MMA sessions?

I've no idea but Britt seems to know a lot of the right people in Pittsburgh. She's often at charity galas and stuff. Also is a Dental Student at the University of Pittsburgh. One of those high achiever types.
Yeah the local paper just ran a article on her, shame they don't mention her training in AIW with Johnny and Candace

Rise was a really fun show to go to, if you want to know where I was I was in the third row on hardcam side wearing a LIJ, got introduced to a lot of women's wrestlers I've never seen wrestle before (Shotzi Blackheart, Delilah Doom and Xia Brookside were the standouts from that perspective)
Also it was weird being at a wrestling show where the talent just mingled with the crowd during intermission, I didn't have cash and my social anxiety kind of prevented me from just hanging out and talking with the wrestlers

About weed though, there's history tied to hemp but it wasn't until the American occupation that everything taima-related became forbidden. But Japanese paranoia about drugs is kind of across the board, and celebrities who are caught taking them are regularly shamed. Except Paul McCartney.
Huh I always thought it was Japan looking what the British Empire did to China with the Opium Wars and going "gently caress that poo poo"

Again being at that show I can say this episode will be pretty good, especially the main event which I thought was great. Crowd is going to be weird (I'm the guy in the LIJ shirt that kind of stares around and doesn't chant, but claps with the crowd until I realized "poo poo my fitbit is recording these as steps") in that when its quiet, it's QUIET. Honestly it was like the stereotypical NJPW crowd where its quiet for the grappling and then everyone claps when they get back up to face off.

Also Xia's theme is stuck in my head

Man I really should have talked to the wrestlers at that show even though I had no cash to buy merch (what also sucked was there was no wifi at all since we were in White Oak PA instead of actually Pittsburgh PA)

Yeah. There are people mad. Will Osprey is one, and a bunch of others online are as well. Because she should be on the indies forever in their eyes. Please note that most Japanese fans are supportive of her move to WWE. It's only the English speaking portion I've seen a lot of complaints out of. I know when the WON story came out today, some went as far to say that she's a dumbass for being incredibly upset about not being able to sign with WWE [at the time] and pursue her dream and further her career. They want her to remain in Japan and be like Meiko Satomura at the very most. However unlike Meiko, she has higher ambitions and has hit a hard ceiling in STARDOM.

Oh yeah, English joshi fans are starting to call her a sellout for signing with WWE. :psyduck:
There is also the subsect of people who are tired of the take that "She's done all she could in Stardom!" because this is seems to be used only when great indie wrestlers get signed to WWE and not vice versa.

I felt Beth barely said anything the whole show. Seems like she was the odd one out. She had to basically sneak something in and a few times Cole cut her off in the middle of her talking to call a move.

But compared to Lita and JR, a million times better. It's cool to see Renee get to actually be a main part of the commentary team.
Yeah she was like that in the MMC too
