    I'll be honest, these days I'm so desperate for anything that isn't completely bullshit, I'm just happy that she completely commits to her gimmick and fully lives it. At least she doesn't give an interview saying "yeah wrestling's fake and I'm fake by the way" the next day. Hell, the whole "crazy pop idol dropout" gimmick isn't even much goofier than all the American comic book gimmicks WWE has thrown us over the decades. Never seen her wrestle though, so she could easily be the shits in the ring. And OBVIOUSLY her gimmick has no chance in hell of drawing a single pair of eyeballs in America, where no one except anime nerds even have the slightest idea what a "Japanese pop idol" is.

    She does have the "it factor". Her backstory is solid and she is actually improving as a worker. I see in her the same universal appeal that I saw in Hana Kimura (live at ROH, prior to her reinvention in Mexico), just more in tune with the gimmick and audience. Not a badass like Kana/Asuka where she'll challenge Minoru Suzuki but she's got a definite upside and appeal. If you think that Jim doesn't know Joshi, he just name dropped Chigusa Nagayo a few episodes back.

    Jim can't win a Twitter war with someone who's character is that she's a self hating spoiled gremlin that seeks validation and attention and just so happens to do that in the skin of a japanese pop star. Whatever you throw at her she will just eat up and spit back out. She literally isn't phased by anything. She's gone through enough in her life to know that Jim Cornette isn't a threat, but rather free publicity. Because of Jim, I know Maki now. I never even knew anything about Joshi wrestling. It's crazy that Maki Itoh is tied with Hardcore Holly, Tommy Dreamer and Crash Holly as my favorite wrestler just based on this alone. She's so different and it's refreshing.

    Either way, Maki and her goons are as mudshow as mudshow gets. Also, the main reason why they wear "sailor" suits is to appease the European/British/Scandinavian crowd of the 1800s during the Meiji Restoration. When you figure out the cultures of various nations, including your native nation's (in my case, the UK's), it's all propaganda and bullshit that was never interesting, smart or good in the first place.

Some people just like watching the product. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't think that means they're not allowed to claim to be "big fans." But for sure their idea of what's considered "must know" stuff about wrestling is going to be real different from what someone listening to Corny would consider "must know" -- can't disagree with you there. I'm just saying, I don't think that makes them any less of a "fan," fwiw

    Yuka Sakazaki has worked with AEW before, a triple threat vs Nyla Rose & Riho, also a tag team bout where an opponent of hers was Britt Baker. Her gimmick is she's a magical girl from a magical girl anime (something like "A Certain Magical Index"), and Riho was the first AEW Women's Champion... she's also Kenny Omega's mixed gender tag partner of choice. Riho has also done the "avoiding a lawsuit so we're calling it the area code kick instead of the 619" before. Best part of the aforementioned triple threat these ladies had vs Nyla Rose was when Nyla was about to pin Riho, looked back as if she was going to go for Yuka, and immediately you see one guy in the front row shout "DON'T TOUCH HER!" 9:57 Idol groups in Japan are pop singers/dancers, sort of like the boy bands of the 90's. Japan has real music too, however. A personal favorite of mine is metalcore group Coldrain, who record exclusively in English.

    When you consider that the age of consent is 13 in japan and many idols are that age or maybe a bit lower man that makes your comment all the darker.

    To get your entire wrestling career and back story read out on the show, you apparently must send Jim a naked picture of yourself smothered in chocolate. I fear what this event may spawn. I think may have taken careful aim before he shot himself in the foot.

    Maki Itoh has tough skin than most of these wrestlers in America. She doesn’t care about what people think about her. That’s her strength in wrestling and wrestling fans love Maki Itoh. She is the Becky Lynch of Joshi wrestling without being cringeworthy. If Tony Khan signs Maki Itoh in AEW. She will make AEW women division interesting and better. However, Tony Khan doesn’t like women wrestling. Even Cody Rhodes wouldn’t allow any women wrestlers to outshine his pregnant wife Brandi Rhodes.
