Is she the best female in ring worker in the WWE. If yes, how big is the power gap between her and female talent in other companies (AEW,ROH,etc)
>>12944726ROH has a womens division?
>>12944736They used to
>>12944736Lol, I knew they had one, but forgot it existed.
>>12944742They haven't booked any since the return
>>12944726Io would automatically be the best in any company. Even aewtists admit she completely mogs their womens division.
>>12944726She's the GOAT
>>12944726In my opinion yes
>>12944726easily the best womemes wrestler in the west
>>12944726Io is the best women’s wrestler in the west but has regressed massively since joining WWE. Mayu is the best in the world.
>>12946197Has she actually regressed or is she just capped by who she's facing?
>>12944726obviously. the better question is if she's the best ring worker in WWE regardless of gender, which she isn't because of bryan, but she's in the conversation.
>>12944726dunno I think Silas Young has had better matches then she has
>>12946322She used to do way crazier shit in the ring, so I'd say she's capped because WWE's in house style is the shits.
>>12944726Nah Asuka is better
>>12946714I actually enjoyed Asuka's NXT run more and think she overall had better matches in that time period than Io but bell to bell Io is probably better now. Still insane to me WWE will have Io, Asuka and Meiko under contract and none of them will ever confront the others.
>>12946720lo should have won the rumble and done title v title with asuka at maniainstead asuka has to drop the belt to tranny charles who nobody gives a shit about and neither girl will wrestle at mania
>>12944726She's the best in the world
>>12946714Lmao no. Not in her prime and certainly not now as a washed up grandma.
>>12946746I'd argue Kana against Io in their primes, but that's mostly because I prefer ground based submission and striking matches as opposed to Io's insane athleticism and need to break her own/Mayu's neck.
>>12946322When I say she’s regressed I don’t necessarily blame her. WWE has a certain style of wrestling and she’s been forced to adapt to that style. And yes, she’s in the ring with absolute shitters.
>>12946758Io is better at that stuff too
>generic tiny flippy dippy Japanese schoolgirlShe's not even in the same ballpark as true stars like Rhea Ripley.
>>12946720Io gets to at least wrestle girls who can have a match longer than 5 mins though. Meanwhile Asuka saddled with sacks of crap the likes of Zelina, Lana, Nia Jax and now Lacey. Literally the worst on the whole roster.
>>12946815i think he's talking about her NXT run, but there were indeed some absolute shitters in that run too like the iconics and nia jax
>>12944736just like its name (Women of Honor), the division exist but you can argue about its existence.
