>>19486760i didnt even know ukraine had nxt
>>19486921Still, she's good - like I said, even managed to give Kairi a good match.Also had solid bouts with Asuka and the legendary Akira Hokuto (who also wrestled WCW, as did Satomura - >>19486881).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qx1B35rVcnwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm2_UYuHxPg
>>19486881It's interesting to think that in the late 90s, the available joshi talent pool was deep enough for WCW to prime their audience for women's wrestling like they did with Mexicans and cruiserweight wrestling. The audience wasn't really there for Japanese chicks at the time though. Except in Canada. Sailor Moon was like Hogan there in the late 90s.
>>19487121Yeah, I watched back in the day. We really weren't tuning in for women's wrestling, no matter how good they might have been. Shame because, like you said, there were some damn talented joshis at the time.
