    Without looking her up I’m assuming this is Bozilla’s first joshi show cause she at times seems a bit…clueless with what to do, how to move around. She does a lot of ‘just fucking standing there’. No selling Utami holding her outside the ring by just standing there, watching the others do shit while in the ring instead of wrestling…not realizing she’s not the legal woman, ok I gotta look this lady up cause she has to be relatively new…

    jfc yep, 2 years experience, 21 matches to her name total (22 now I guess) and they put her in a match with Giulia, Utami, and fucking Sareee? Don’t wanna sound like I’m killing the woman here but her highs were good and her low’s were abysmal lol. Crowd didn’t seem to mind since they were chanting for her a bit which at least is good.

    Edit: Damn the crowd really does like her. Well fingers crossed her awareness improves cause the better she gets, she may have something good.

    I feel blah about being forced to watch a Nanae match but I like Yuzuki so she’ll make it worthwhile until Nanae inevitably wins after yelling PASSION 37 times.

    Edit: Mmhmm…

        Duo is okay, but there are points where you just hit a wall where something doesn’t click and your only option really is to slam your head into said wall until it either makes sense, or you give up. After a month of being stuck, gave up. But I kept at it daily for over a year.

        Alas, that was 2020-2021 and I’ve probably forgotten most of what I did learn.

    Mirai is almost unrecognizable from what she was in TJPW. (probably not the first time I’ve said this)

      Not wrong, she’s come a long way. Only problem with her was Rossy’s booking but given she’s on the ground floor here I expect her to go pretty far.

        I dunno, bro. After what I saw, I think I’m a Chiaki mark now.

          You and me both. I know next to nothing of the non-Stardom talent in the company but she drew my eye from the start (idk why she kinda reminds me of one of the werewolf npc’s from Sims 4 with her face/hair/makeup rofl) but she looked fantastic.

    Calling it now since it’s Rossydom and we already had one: Main event goes to TLD.

    Edit: TLD despite having gaijin pin fodder, for good measure.

    All I want out of this match is Mai to get the win so she doesn’t start off her Marigold career on a loss, she ate enough pins.

    Edit: Well…good enough for now.

        I look forward to it.

        I can rewind since I’m not on the high seas for a change. But the WU chromecast app only rewinds 10 seconds per button tap, so it’s kinda ass.

    One thing I cannot argue about so far is the presentation. Halfway into the first show and the presentation is better than Spark Joshi, Sukeban and most American based NJPW shows lmao.

      Pretty par for the course for most major shows featured on WU. Minus the “on tour” shows that are typically shot with a single camera. But if a show on WU has English commentary, this is the level of production you can expect.
