And who says AEW doesn’t care about their women’s division. This is a super stacked cars!
>>12950742Won't get even a tenth of the mainstream penetration Nia saying "My hole" will get
>>12950742>Yuka vs Maki finalWritten in the stars.
>>12950809sorry Itoh bro, but I don't see Ryo going down to her
>>12950742Cody wants it, the network wants it.Maki's winning. Pray for Riho.
Only person who could go over Aja is Mizunami, Aja is for sure winning this.
does anyone of these 16 have the passion to get the job done?
Tay Conti gets the first round upset, book it
>>12950831Ryo is going to have to win. Aja winning her bracket would not be good. She's just not in the best physical shape these days. It'll be a huge rub to have Ryo go over.
>>12950742>Tay Conti getting murdered by Brandon in the first roundFUCK OFF
In terms of star power, can a Joshichad rank the right bracket?
>Britt beats Anna and then her friend TayKino booking
>>12950867You're probably right, plus Ryo can lose to whoever wins the US bracket but Aja for sure isn't laying down for someone like Britt or Riho or Deeb or Rosa. Mizunami or Aja vs Shida again would slap though.
>>12950878>He thinks Tony coom is gonna job Taynara

>>12950935huh how is emi/ryo/asuka lower than itoh and yuka?
>>12950929a couple of tweets aren't changing this, kong picks and choses who she lays down for, she sure as fuck isn't laying down for maki
>>12950972>kong picks and choses who she lays downfuck that bitch
>>12950962It's actually one of the best choices for maki, it'll get her even more over if she gets the shit beat out of her.
>>12950972>The words of an executive and the network he's under doesnt matter.Uh huhI don't think she should go over either but I think that they are definitely going to ride this train.
>>12950979a legend shouldn't be getting beat by just anyone, that devalues beating them
>tfw no kris
>>12950988cody doesnt watch joshi puroresu. the most hes watched was when kenny put on an episode of gatoh move to show him riho. shit was funny
>>12950997yuka and itoh are the future. it makes sense for aja to lay down for either one
>>12950742The final is Britt vs Yuka, they have history already. Don't overthink it weebs.
>>12950988They don't know who itoh is outside of le funny twitter meme which they can visit again later when the coof isn't fucking things up, they're not changing their booking plans for maki, she'll be way more over getting destroyed by ryo in the first.
>>12950742Are they showing this on dynamite?
KEK at Kong jobbing to a random lesser JoshiPeople who defeated her in the last decade>Yoshiko>Sareee>Hikaru Shida>Kaori Yoneyama>Chihiro Hashimoto>Meiko Satomura >Sonoko Kato>Sara Del Rey>KAORUAnd basically all of them after jobbing to her 2 or 3 times
>>12951036yes its live tonight, the full 2 hours from Japan.
>>12951028Yuka sure. Itoh is a meme, an entertaining meme but a meme nonetheless.
>>12951028they aren't beating aja, ryo will beat aja or aja will win it all
>people think AEW will fly a 50+ year old with weight and heath problems halfway across the globe to lose one match on TV
>>12950742Let's fucking GOOOOO!!! I love tournaments. I fell off wrestling a couple months ago but I'll come back for this.
>>12951055aja also wouldn't lose to britt or rosa or deeb, she'd lose to shida, that's why I think ryo will probably win it all
>>12950962Based rainmaker btfo’s joshipedos
>>12950742>Maki vs Aja Konggood luck trying to sell me the incredibly giant bullshit that would be Maki beating Kong.
>>12950988Itoh isn't winning this. She's going to get smashed by Ryo, and get even more over in the process. She's going to be a star for AEW but she's not winning this. This is just her introduction.
>>12951104Maki isn't beating Ryo much less Kong, she's an underdog they'd be retarded to put her over strong this early when they're bringing her in for one match.
>>12951006What Cody watches or doesn't watch is of no consequence, Maki is where he's decided to point his finger.>>12951034>She'll be way more over jobbing.We've likely watched and dropped enough WWE to know that isn't ever true. All the network sees is what might make them money.
>>12951120>losing first roundthat would be a complete indication that AEW wants nothing to do with her.
Ryo or Aja winning the japanese side would be underwhelming af. Kong is too old and no one knows who Ryo is.
>>12951104wrestling isnt real
>>12951133that's ridiculous. how many women has AEW brought in and have lose in their debut but have them return or even signing them later? Hint: a lot of them
>>12951127Americans aren't the same as Japanese. First impression is everything. If Itoh doesn't even make it to America how would anyone even get to know her? The retarded thing here would be bring nobodies like Ryo or Kong just to please the militant joshipedos.
>>12951163Yeah and all of them are green jobbers. Some haven't even come back.
Semi-finalists are probably Maki, Yuka, Rosa, Britt, who wins each bracket? Who wins the tournament?
>>12950972Who says she has to lay down? DQ her or count her out, I can see Maki cheesing a victory out of her.
Rosa and Maki have history
>>12950742>one match per weekthey're not gonna make it to Revolution
>>12950742WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?! MAKI ITOH!?!?! I LEFT FOR LIKE 4 DAMN WEEKS WTF IS GOING ON??
>>12950972No. Kenny and Brandy pick who she lays down for and she has to either do it or get the fuck out.
>>12951200all the japan stuff is getting dumped on youtube
>>12950972Buddy, if she doesn't lay down, they probably go "k, bye" and find somebody else.
>>12951028Yuka is around 35 lol
>>12951182>>12950912Honestly Yuka and Maki is a toss up right now and I'm only giving it to Maki because she's the network's pick. It could easily go to Yuka, eitherway, Riho is definitely winning the US block.
>>12951200Even if they have two after to tonight there won’t be enough time.My guess is they have a filler defence at Revolution and do the winner of the tiring vs. Shida on a special Dynamite.
>>12950742Here is my best bet. I can only do the Americans because I am normie scum. I see Nyla brutalizing Conti leading to an Anna Jay revenge match.
>>12951244You don't think Riho can lose to Britt or Rosa?
>>12950818Will she go down on her?
>>12951256>Britt losing in the first roundAnon.
>>12950839It doesn’t make sense to ship this passionate turtle to Japan unless they’re shooting some angle, which likely means that the winner will be on the Japanese side.
>>12951256I had Tay pulling the upset over Nyla desu
>>12950742LMAO HIKARU WITH THE SHOVEL. It's obvious Ryo won't lose against Maki. So there you go new Maki fans, she always loses, we told you. Ryo worked with AEW before, is friends with Hikaru and worked with her dozens of times, while Maki is from TJPW, an isolated promotion, she's never crossed paths with Shida. So, unless Tony Khan says "This bitch is getting too much attention to make her lose in round #1" and pisses Hikaru off, I don't see the Queen of Simps making it far.
They put one of their 2 hottest girls against a tranny. If Tay Conti loses then AEW is officially a tranny fed actively promoting deviance.
>>12951205oh dude, you have no idea
AYAYAYAYAYAYI CAN FLY
>>12951281Buddy, Shida ain't the one booking the tournament, she's just producing the matches. Khan is going to push the person he thinks he can make the biggest star of and draw the most money with.
>>12951205Yeah she's probably losing first round
Poor Tay going to get feed to AEW's version of Nia Jax. Do we want to take bets on how long she'll be out with injury now?
>>12951130Darby Allin got over by losing and losing for like a year straight.
>>12951324I'm telling you dude, that's the upset match.
>>12950742It’ll be Britt, they’re building the division around her. It’s obvious at this point.
Joshichad here, my prediction based on bookings, previous history and logic.
>>12951352Darby has pretty much always won against everybody but top guys.
>>12951362I was gonna put Veny over to make it to the finals against Ryo, but then realized the logical thing here is to make the actual roster members win their matches, Emi and Yuka.
>>12951352He lost to stars though
>>12951360apparently not for all these yoshi cels
>>12951362>logic>puts a literal who in ryo winning over someone thats actually in the aew roster page
>>12951388The Joshi are almost all on the other side of the bracket
The only surefire prediction is that it's going to be disappointing.
>>12951397You can disagree all you want, but TJPW is not losing Yuka for 3 weeks due to the 2 week quarantine on return. While Ryo is a freelancer.
>>12951362Change that to Yuka winning via 450 splash. Britt/Yuka is the final, Britt wins and challenges Shida.
>>12951314Tony will strap the rocket on Maki now she is pissing off Cornette
>>12951368>>12951375She's losing to Aja Kong probably. AEW fans has mostly at least Aja.
All I know is that I can't wait for these matches to be on youtube with an iphone camera
Riho vs Thunder Rosa should be fun.Britt beating the shit out of Anna Jay and Tay WILL be fun.and I don't know shit about nipwrestling, but even I know who Aja Kong is. Is she the kind of granny that would let new(er) talent pin her or is the hag going to win the japanese side?
>>12951428tell me why yuka cant miss a month tops but shoko can? yuka is taking a backseat while a new crop of people(rika,kamiyu,bakuretsu sisters) take over
>>12950742Yeah can't wait to see Mitsubishi Toyota vs Subaru Honda for the AEW World Trannygook championship.
>>12951428>Here's a check to compensate you for not having this talent for this amount of time.Wow, that was hard.
>>12951464She doesn't lose to anyone
>>12951271To be fair Brit isn't exactly Goldberg over here. Sure she's 3-0 right now but that 19-11 overall record isn't the best. Compare that to Anna's 9-5 and it starts to look like more of a match. Brit gets the W 63% of the time.Jay squeaks by with a 64% win rate. Brit defiantly had to deal with the harder competition as Jay spent a lot of time farming AEW Dark but hey, according to the numbers it's a toss up.
MAKI ITOH BTFO LMAOCORNETTE CHADS RISE UP
>>12950878TayJay both losing in the first round, fuck this tournament
>>12951494britt has had higher profile matches and has momentum
You can tell AEW doesn't give a fuck about the joshi side. You can do a 5 minute google search for info, and still they failed so miserably they announced Ryo Mizunami as a TJPW wrestler. She's never stepped foot in a TJPW ring. Goddamn, they can't help themselves but be stupid and sloppy. https://twitter.com/ThatDamn_Chris/status/1359595612296077312
>>12951494Britt didn't just pin Thunder Rosa to lose in the first round of the tournament.
>>12951362>These two dingbats in every thread baiting people easily by false-flagging that Ryo or Aja have any chance of winning
>>12951397fuck you, ryo is based and charismatic and would get over big with an american audience.
>>12951509By definition, cucks arent chads.
>>12951509Based
>>12951483>Here's this check to pay for a good looking venue that doesn't look like it's filled with bedbugs and fleas. Tony Khan is cheap as fuck, stop acting like he's throwing money at people.
>>12951531The problem is that Maki already got over big with an american audience in 3 words
>>12951531>ryo is based and charismatic and would get over big with an american audience.AHAHAHAHAHA
>>12951531>Thinking the god of shit and piss wouldn't go over with the trannyfedAnon I.....
>>12951548problem?
>>12950972is there anyone in the tournament you think she would be willing to job to?
>>12951531>Ryo is based and charismatic and would get over big with an american audiencePeople don’t even remember that she wrestled at the very 1st AEW show
>>12951590Shut up Watame.
>>12951603Watame.. DID NOTHING WRONG :D
Imagine thinking any of those emancipated gooks are gonna get over with the American audience, let alone win lmao
>>12951589Mizunami, Emi and VENY/ASUKA
>rosa/baker finals for women>yuka/itoh (probably kong though) for joshisthere's absolutely no fucking way itoh is losing in the first round you retards, that being said, conti losing to brandon is a crime against humanity
>>12951256>my best bet is the most over woman in the company losing in the first round
>>12951632t.doesn't know anything about joshi pro-wrestling and Itoh. Itoh's character is build on the fact that she's a loser. She never won against the top wrestlers in tjpw.
>>12951531Why do most Joshi fans have brain worms? No one even remembers that she wrestled in the first show.
>>12951656I'm well aware of that, but this isn't Japan and the American audiences don't know her shtick. You cannot sell Itoh within the first minute of the match by saying>"yea she loses all the time haha that's her thing xD"If they do a promo package on TV or something (they wont) to promote the wrestlers, sure. Otherwise you have all of this initial hype and she'll lose and people will scratch their head wondering what's going on. I'm not saying that's right or wrong, but you have to put yourself in the shoes of an American fan who knows literally 0 about her besides from le epik shitposter loser trying to find boyfriend
>>12951689The matches won't even be on Dynamite like always most of Itoh fans won't even watch the matches nobody will care that she lost in the first round as long as she tweets
>>12951711Glad I wasted my time responding to your retarded logic
Itoh shouldn't and probably won't win but that doesn't mean they aren't still going to bring her over. They're going to try to capitalize on her popularity, but winning the tournament isn't the right way to go about it with her.
>>12951802Itoh will win.Suck it Cornette fags.
>>12950742If Anna or Tay don't make the finals then TK is clueless about ratings.
>>12951259I think they are going to try to bring her momentum back after almost a year away due to covid.I guess it's possible she'll lose to Brit since her and Yuka already have something going on but that implies her getting past Nyla who is only there to scare viewers into thinking a man might win.I just don't see them not doing Nyla vs Riho in the semis really.
>>12951656That's why Big Bucks Tony will pull the dimes switcheroo and have her at least get to the finals
>>12950878She might get the upset. Conti's great lately and Nyla is a shitter who they're scared to put in a competitive match
>have rankings>decide your #1 contenders with battle royals and tournaments
They'll heavily push Itoh, primarily because it will upset Jim Cornette and he seems to live rent free in the head of the entire promotion at this point.
>>12951952If Itoh wins it's because TNT demanded it. Pissing off Cornette would just be icing.
>>12950742>Britt vs Anna Jay>First fucking round Terribad booking they are losing one of their best in the very first roundsloppy shop
>>12951127she implied on twitter she's joining and a bunch of active roster people gave her shout outs she is joining the company and moving to usa
probably narrows to aja vs. yuka and britt vs. rosa for britt vs. yuka
>>12951518i think wwe would have them face each other, imagine the webms of a tayjay match
>>12951876this has nothing to do with cornette, itoh works best as an underdog, having her run through the tournament as her first showing kills her character dead, her suffering is what endears her to fans, the twitter meme shit just gets more eyes on her
>>12950742People are going crazy over Maki Itoh in the Youtube comments.There's no way she's not winning her bracket.
>>12952123They already filmed the matches she probably lost in the first round
>>12952135Kek that’d be retarded
>>12952123>>12952135>>12952155I don't even know anything about Maki Itoh and I want to see her winShe has a dimes look and based social media presence who fucking cares about wrestling
>>12951973TNT doesn't give a shit.
>>12951205She got a lot of western attention when it was revealed she browsed 4chan
>>12952212They literally said they wanted her to win.Like I don't know what else you need here. If a career jobber fucking wins this tourney or even makes it to the finals you bet your ass TNT had a say.
>>12952155Her entire appeal is being a chaser, her getting significant distance would be missing the point.
>>12952243dude shut up. jesus. shes not winning. yea shes the favorite but the winner was already decided in advance before the contenders were announced.
>>12952243Theyre social media interns trying to ape the hype for her, retard. Why are you reading so much into some meaningless tweets?
>>12952243Bro. The dude who runs the TNT social media doesn't have any sway.
>>12952246I’m not saying she should win, but having her lose in the first round would be dumb
>>12952243Source
>>12951518Nyla is not facing britt in the second round. Tay wins, anna loses.
>>12952266Because Cody did it too who IS an exec.They are going to keep this moving as much as possible.
>>12952246I get the impression she's at least joining AEW. I don't think she'll win the whole thing but they'd likely slot her higher in the card than she was in Japan because she seems to be more over here.
>>12952285>having her lose in the first round would be dumbSame goes for Britt Baker vs Anna JayYou can only pick one
>>12952326Well, Britt’s obviously winning that match. Mizunami shouldn’t beat Itoh, and I don’t care that she has seniority over her.
why does who wins the finals matter so much? 15 people are going to lose, no matter what. as long as anyone they want to push gets into a good storyline or rivalry, they can carry that over and continue the push whether they won or not.
>>12952306Ok, social media interns and Cody trying to ape the hype for her.
>>12952353You have a lot to work with. I can see riho and deeb having an nwa title match if riho beats her and losses in the next round
Yuka vs. Mei is the high speed matchup.VENY vs. Emi is the technical matchup.Maki vs. Ryo is the character matchup.Rin vs. Aja is the stiff matchup
>>12950742Yukabros... it's time
>>12952353No one cares who wins finals. People care who is getting to the finals on the joshi side because they're the ones who are actually going to be on tv instead of youtube.
Reminder that this tournament has people actually talking about women's wrestling in 2021 with a minimum of waifufagging. Everyone thank Based Bicep Tony.
>>12952394Yuka for the blowoff match against Britt. Itoh for the fan favorite support. Either one.
>>12951876This is why you're a mark. You think Cornette doesn't want Shitoh to win? It would be a gift to him.
nu-Itohfags are going to learn that you fall in love her by watching her try hard but get BTFO. having her burn through everyone on her debut is not booking to her strengths. She's being introduced to a new audience. It's a fresh stop on Itoh's journey to eventually overcoming and winning big.i'll try to make it easy for you to understand: she's Naito
Did they do any matches from the tourney on Dark last night?Pretty interested how they're gonna do the tournament in general and whether they're gonna stretch it out for 15 weeks on Dynamite.
>>12952463U.S. side starts today on Dynamite with Rosa vs HirschJapan side starts on Monday on YouTube.
>>12952450Who's Naito?
>>12952394>going to be on tvthistv time is king so book your prettiest girls to win obviously - knocking out Tayjay in the first round is suicide for ratings
>>12952450That's a nice story, if you had her on Dynamite every week and could focus on her.This is about bringing her to the U.S. side to expose her to more people and not following up on a underdog storyline everyone will forget in a year when people are allowed to travel normally again.
>>12950998She won't be back in the ring for at least another month or two. Knee injuries are a bitch.>>12951256Britt losing in the first round would be a shocker. She's probably winning the whole thing.More likely is Tay going over Nyla, leading to Tay vs Britt in the quarterfinals.>>12952038Anna is the least experienced wrestler on either side of the bracket. She's basically got a little over a year worth of in-ring work under her belt. Yes, she's popular, but she's still green (though she's coming along fast) and she hasn't paid her dues yet. Booking her to go deep just because she's popular would be the epitome of hotshotting. Instead, you use her popularity by feeding her to the heel, which continues her development while also building Britt for her likely upcoming title run.
>>12952516>feed her to the heelMy heart says you're right but my dick says you're righter
>>12952508she's going to get rekt by ryo after putting in a strong effort. fans will feel sad. she will give a promo and make a tweet that will encourage everyone to follow her because she will be back. she will be signed by aew. these things will boost fan confidence in her; and she'll be brought back sooner rather than later
>>12952505That's short-term thinking. Long-term, you need to build the women's division based on more than just the prettiest girls winning. You need compelling characters. Booking Tayjay to go deep doesn't grow the division, and it does them no favors, either.
Lol at all the shit for brains opinions>Maki Itoh needs to win!Morons. Her entire character and story is based on losing. You dont introduce her as a winner.>Aja Kong had to do has she's told!Retards. She'd refuse to participate unless she got acceptable booking. She'll no-sell Rin, then put over Ryo after they beat each other senseless, as that will showcase old-school Joshi hoss fights.
>>12952606COPE
>>12952648this isnt koda booking it. theyre not going to wait 5 years stoopid
>>12952693They either wait or they hotshot her and miss the point
>>12952720>hotshotting her by having 1 match on Dynamite and 2 at best at the PPV then
>>12952403>>12952403>Based Bicep Tony.that era is over, Cocaine Fueled Tony is the now
I look forward to drinking the salt from Maki Itohfag tears
>>12952738yes, smoothbrain
>>12950742>Mei>Veny>Ryo>RinF
>>12952612You only need a constant supply of ass, no one gives a fuck about women's 'wrestling.'
>>12952792t. Vince Russo.
>>12951149>no one knows who Ryo is.She's an entertaining and good enough wrestler to win the crowd over. They were already popping big for her in the AEW tag match she was in.
>brit beats jay to get heat>brit beats tay after tay beats nyla to get heat>brit beats returning champ riho to get heat>maki ekes out her bracket and gets to the finals >brit beats the new super over babyface to get even more heat>brit is now a super heel going into her title match (she wins)>maki stays in the usa is the new fan favorite upstart underdog rebel ala darby allin who needs to fight her way to the top againhere is your tourny. riho and maki stay on the roster. not sure about the rest. yuka and veny have a good shot if i had to guess.
>>12951442I wish she would piss on me
>>12951590Yeah, I suppose it is easy to forget how fucking think americunts are.
I want a Maki doll
kek tayjayfags in fucking tears
Maki is one of the worst wrestlers, maybe even THE worst wrestler in the tournament
>>12952922Would Yuka be committed to AEW full time, even if there were no travel issues? Seems like she keeps a pretty full schedule in Japan.
>>12950742Im gonna drink everytime one of these samefaced schoolgirls botch the fuck outta their matchSee you in the afterlife bros
>>12951535swinging isnt cuckolding but what would virgins on this board know about anything regarding fucking. Cornettes gotten more pussy being a troll manager than the entire board will ever see
>>12953054No but I could see her hanging around for a few months if she gets a good pay day.
>>12951494Dark Order are jobbers
>>12953106no one is fucking that jackasshe can't even get a 4/10 wife
>>12952450She's Naito with the wrestling ability of Yujiro.
>>12953488Don't be mean to Yujiro
>>12953106Jim Cornette is a legitimate cuck.No one is coming out saying they fucked him and vice versa.He gets the boys to fuxk his wife because he is a cuck. Being a cuck is not Chad at all.
>>12952648For what it's worth, I don't think she should win at all and have said that. But the fact is an executive wants her to win, the network they are on wants her to win. Even if she doesn't, this is probably enough to get her far.
>>12953723I don't know why anyone is taking random Twitter banter seriously just because it's Cody and TNT. This was probably booked from start to finish long before Shida even left for Japan.
>>12950878I can see Tay winning with Anna's help.I wonder why they put Nyla in that side of the bracket. If Nyla wins, she's better against Rosa than Britt, and you could make Riho vs Britt in semis, unless their plan is Britt vs Riho in the US final and not Britt vs Rosa
>>12951182Tbh i want Maki vs Britt final. Just for shittalk
>>12953765Cody is one of the biggest self Marks breathing and has said who he wanted to have win while in an executive position.That can honestly be enough to get her through.Twitter literally destroyed the US, I think I can use Cody's tweet as an idea as to who they are trying to profit from.
