Is Kairi Hojo the best female wrestler in the world right now?
>>766027
Kill yourself you fucking faggot
>>766037
Nikki Bella wouldn't crack the top 50 female wrestlers.
She has the best elbow drop since Macho Man

>We're talkiing about the kind of wrestling the fucking board is dedicated to.
But anon, this board also includes freestyle wrestling, and greco-roman wrestling, as well as other grappling arts like Judo, BJJ and MMA.
We were here first.
>>766079
Not anymore grandpa.
>>766043
It's just wrestling.

>implying your pussy ass wrestling stands a chance against eastern Wu martial arts
WU where the fuck are you?
Don't watch enough Joshi to make an informed opinion, but as far as North Americans go, Gail is the GOAT
>>766017
>>766474

>I posted it again!!!!
>>766037
>Thats not thicki bella or sasha banks
Because he asked for the best female wrestler in the world.
>>766017
If she's that great, how come she can't beat Meiko?
>>766121
>>766053
>>766027
She's not cute! She's tough!
But she isn't family
>>766079
NOPE! Fuck off with that horseshit and put it in the >>>/trash/ where it belongs.
>>766616
I'm convinced these Sasha marks are just trolls trying to make people think she's being overrated.
>>766616
but she is yo
So how do I get into Stardom? What are their best wrestlers and what PPVs should I watch? My only contact with japanese female wrestling are some Kana matches I watched when I heard about her signing and they were really good.
>>766088
It isn't m8
>>766079
>we were here first
And now its our turn. This board belongs to us now, grandpa.
>>766707
The top stars of Stardom are Io Shirai, Kairi Hojo, Mayu Iwatani, and Act Yasukawa.
Io Shirai is the ace of the company, their Tanahashi or John Cena if you will. The top star. She's a high flyer with high stamina who has never been gassed in her entire life. Kairi Hojo is the skilled underdog everyone loves. She's also a pirate and has a killer elbow drop. She's amazing at selling a beating.
Act Yasukawa is an outrageous drunken samurai that everyone loves, but not especially skilled in the ring. Mayu is Randy Orton. Whether or not you think that's a good thing is up to you.
Stardom's World Championship is currently held by Meiko Satomura, a highly regarded veteran from the Sendai Girls promotion. She is not a part of Stardom, and she took their championship, so Stardom is currently in a rivalry with Sendai Girls, trying to reclaim their championship.
Stardom is easy enough to follow, as they tape shows regularly and it gets uploaded to dailymotion usually.
Here's a good match between Kairi Hojo and the current champ.

>>766728
>Act Yasukawa
Isn't that a girl that got in a shoot fight with a big gorilla that left her bleeding? I heard she also had some dangerous shit in her eye and has overall pretty poor health or something. I don't like getting invested into wrestlers that are near their retirement, it makes me sad cause I couldn't grab them in their prime.
Also, I've heard that apart of wrestling, Stardom does shit like gravure photo shoots and stuff like that kind of like japanese idols, is that true?
>>766737
Act Yasukawa did indeed get shoot beat up by another wrestler who has since retired. Act already had a number of health problems, including being blind in one eye due to Grave's Disease, being rendered infertile due to Grave's Disease treatments, and generally having a weak body. In that fight, her surgically repaired eye was specifically targeted for attack by Yoshiko (the woman she was wrestling) and broke her orbital. Left her a swollen and bloodly mess.
But she overcame all of that for her love of wrestling. She powered through all that and returned to the ring. She trained hard, bulked up, and I don't think she's retiring any time soon. She really loves wrestling. Her story and perseverance are what draw a lot of people to her in addition to her outrageous character. If she was actually amazing at wrestling too, she could be the biggest star ever. But she's only okay.
And as you can see in this thread >>766456
>>766469
Stardom does indeed to gravure stuff.
>>766756
>Them bodies
I don't know if to start with the wrestling or the photo shoots.
>>766769
The most attractive feature of any woman is her workrate.
>>766769
>Them bodies
fuck yes
>>766778
based fuckin' Meiko
>>766737
>Stardom does shit like gravure photo shoots and stuff like that
Boy, do they.
>>766756
>broke her orbital
Yeesh. That happened to me and it was probably the most painful injury on my life (it actually happened while yardtarding, lel). Fuck Yoshiko; she deserves to get blacklisted from women's wrestling.
>>766881
Makes me furious to think that bitch got to be in anime since she's such a psychopath.
>>766891
What anime? Also is there porn?
>>766896
It's called Wanna Be the Strongest in the World. It was about an idol who gets goaded into becoming a wrestler to prove she's tough.
Like a lot of modern anime, it's meant to pander to super horny people, so it's basically already porn. Every match is the protagonist being put in Boston Crabs and various holds while she moans with her boobs practically busting out of her singlet.
>>766905
Sounds like shit. Does it break kayfabe?
>>766911
It's total shit. And forget the suggestive submission holds, the swerves alone would make Russo jizz everywhere.
>>766785
muh dick
I heard she deadlifts like 500 pounds.
>>766041
>>766017
What's it say on her thigh?
>>767011
Picture perfect.
>>767034
>property of the yakuza
>>767034
Look at my oshiri! (oshiri means butt)
>>767242
That's the Ass Craftsman for ya
>>767034
Idk what the first row means as I don't recognize the kanji, but the second row is 来たよ! which basically means 'came'.
Although because the first row has the て-verb ending, the 来た is most likely just a verb conjugation, expressing that something has happened that is still continuing.
So really I have no clue what the fuck it says but I figured I might as well explain why I have no clue what it says.
>>766053
Ronda isn't a wrestler anyway. Her background is Judo.
so we agree she's the best
Kairi Hojo always has time for pictures with her fans.
>>767727
>paige
BASED AS FUCK
>>766905
i miss the /a/ threads.
>>766911
>breaking kayfabe
>in Japanese media
Literally would never happen. They still make "professional wrestling" a fighting style in video games. Fucking Kinnikuman still exists.
>>767727
She's actually the fan in this picture though.
>>766651
you can't just call someone overrated and not explain why you think they're over rated
>>766786
based Asuka
I want to watch Japanese women's wrestling, but my Japanese listening comprehension isn't up to par.
>>768486
Don't worry about it.
I watched men's Japanese wrestling for years and you literally never need to know what the commentary is saying. Their emotions carry through highly (they get really excited for nearfalls) and 95% of moves in Japanese are called in Engrish (Suplex = "Surprexu", clothesline/lariat "lariato") so if you primarily listen to commentary to hear move names, well, there it is.
Japanese wrestling (in general) tends to use in-ring storytelling as its medium instead of massive promos, backstage or in-ring segments, and usually the answer to "why are these two fighting" is no more complicated than "this guy doesn't like that guy, so now they're fighting" or "this guy has this belt and that guy wants it," or at best, "this guy beat the fuck out of the other guy last match so he's pissed." So you never have to worry much about being "lost" in the storyline because the commentators don't need to explain the backstory.
>>768413
Kairi always has time for her fans.
>>768229
Based japs. It's still real to them dammit.
WWE is fake.
>>768826
So are your mom's tits but they're still fun to motorboat.
>women's wrestling or as I prefer to say Joshi Puroresu
Bring back the baddest motherfucker in the land. New Jack/Yoshiko tag when?
>>768917
What the hell is that thing
>>768927
It's a psychopath who thinks it's okay to try to legitimately injure another person on national television.
>>768937
But does she break arms for her master?
>All these people getting worked by YoIVko
>>768937
lmao act waifufag end yourself. yoshiko is the baddest fucker in the land.
>>768957
Someone put this bitch in a match with Kyoko Kimura and lets see what an internet tough guy she is then.
The guys over on reddit said that Stardom isn't even close to being the best joshi promotion in Japan. Which is the best lads?
>>766756
I still don't see the hype with Io Shirai. She has a great moveset, but lacks psychology. It's my opinion, you don't have to agree with me.
>>767034
Billy Gunn was here.
>>770761
They're the best in promoting, which makes them the most watched. In the same vein as WWE. They have the most exposure, but are not necessarily the best wrestling show.
I don't know what I'd call the best. I don't watch them enough. I like WAVE, which is mostly comedy wrestling. Oz Academy is pretty good. Sendai Girls might become the best though.
>>771774
She can do psychology when she wants to. And when she does, I think she's great at it. But there is nothing wrong with popping the marks with lots of flips. Also, she's at her best when she's working heel.
>>766040
She was ranked best female wrestler in the world by pwi. Nikki is the best. She is so fearless
That's not Charlotte
> talking to WWE divas fanboy
> says he wants to see real wrestling where women are given the spotlight

You're right. It's someone better.
>>774008
>Wow they wrestle like men, that's awful!"
Stop hanging out with plebs.
>>774011
Than Charlotte? Nah. Charlotte's the best. Her dad is a 16 time champ.
>>774016
My dad is an 18 time champ, and I'm not better than Kairi Hojo.
>>774023
tbf, nobody cares about your roody poo candy ass dad because he's not slick Ric

Realized that in the very moment.

>>774008
> "Wow they wrestle like men, that's awful!"
As /asp/ is mostly WWE babies, I fear that's the majority opinion here.
>>775409
The type of "wrestling fans" that boo a fluid and exciting chain wrestling sequence, just like "MMA fans" who think ground grappling is just homoerotic hugging. Though I think it's more of an American thing; if it isn't fast and flashy, the innate ADD most of its population possesses kicks in.
Kairi is pretty close. My heart always screams for Madison Eagles though.
>>776646
fake
>>776655
No Shit. It's wrestling.
Could /asp/ handle a general Joshi thread?
>>779922
Is that a joke?
>>779922
I could.
This place is far too sheltered and stupid to have a joshi general.
It'll literally be nothing but racist shit, 'why ain't they hot', and 'no one cares about women's wrestling' shitposting.
>>779922
Yes. Maybe a few fans of Sterile Style will take the time to watch a match and ditch the Divas garbage.
>>780280
Lots of joshi are hot and joshi is pretty much the only womens' wrestling worth caring about.
>>780506
>joshi is pretty much the only womens' wrestling worth caring about.
But that's wrong.
>>780516
Which womens' wrestling besides joshi and some American indies consistently produces exciting matches?
I've always liked Hamada :/
