How in the FUCK was this yen magnet hidden on the roster of such a piss ant fed for so long?She's having a generational run and putting on an absolute CLINIC in Stardom right now.
It's unappealing when they lean into the anime girl shit. You have so many sexo gimmicks over there, a geisha, a club hostess, a shrine maiden, a JAV star but there's just something off-putting about an IRL anime girl
>>19724614Agreed, I like Stardom well enough but what she's been doing has been must watch.>>19724632Maki isn't anime, she's pretty much her own gimmick at this point. Failed idol. Which describes a lot of joshis I guess but she's leaned into it like no one else.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag7CTgdgy40
>>19724614She literally had zero wrestling skills for 80% of her career. She's managed to cobble together a few decent moves like the rolling boston crab and the stunner and she's brushed up on her basics so she can run the ropes like a normal wrestler. I'm glad TJPW did nothing with her because it seems to have motivated her to learn how to wrestle instead of just relying on her charisma to carry her.
>>19724614I have nothing against TJPW but Itoh probably should have left a couple years ago. She'd clearly hit a ceiling as a character there. She's not really my cup of tea, but she's definitely a breath of fresh air for Stardom at the moment. Plus, she seems to finally be working on being a more complete wrestler instead of just a gimmick. So, good for her.
how has itohchan been able to get so far with only a middle school education
It funny how we can take any janetty from their roster and make them into a total superstar
TJPW is cursed to never gain or lose any fans. They're stuck with the same 500 damned souls for all eternity.
She'll definitely be on the national variety program circuit soon
omg she swore :O
>>19724802There is only so many old men that won't expire in the next 10 years
>>19724829It's not that she swears, she's just over-the-top like wrestlers are supposed to be in a way that they often aren't anymore. Knows how to play to the crowd. It's nice to see.
Itoh schizo samefagging threads now?
I didn't want Itoh, the real goalpoach is Yamashita
>>19724614TJPW was unironically better than Stardom under Rossy. Rika Tatsumi was like a discount Fujinami and they had Maki, prime Miyu back in like 2021 and they put on fun shows.
>>19724614The funniest thing is she gets more over with Stardom crowds at every show when Stardom loyalists here and on social media who only watched her through GCW swore she wouldn't be a good fit not realizing she's a real good storyteller and enhances other characters mainly with her act.Stardom already has 99% great workers on their roster. They needed someone like her to diversify the product more.
>>19724870I always thought she was interesting but was never really able to get into TJPW. Her strongest asset is that, despite what one might say about her in-ring skills, she understands wrestling. Yes, you're faking a fight, but the goal at the end of the day is to entertain the fans and, in wrestling, that means going a bit overboard. It's one of the things TJPW really does do better than Stardom.
>>19724614she genuinely got a lot better over the last few years she figured out how to combine her over the top character with her wrestling style seamlessly
>>19724802but they have gained fans? their attendance even went up even more after itoh left
>>19724895Working in the US probably helped with that quite a bit, since her current style is more of a Western concept. She reminds me a lot of how Toni Storm put her whole Timeless thing together.
It's pretty funny how someone that was in the end maybe the 15th most popular wrestler in TJPW can jump and absolutely mog everyone in Stardom. Really gets the ol' noggin' joggin'
>>19724614pump your brakes anon, it hasn't even been 2 weeks yet. i remember people being positive about mirai when she joined too
TJPW is spinning in their wheels right now. The characters seem stuck exactly where they were five years ago.
>>19724968Miu is carrying the whole circus plus it adds new girls every year its only Koda booking that's the problem but that's usually a seasonal issue
Mizuki to Stardom when?
>>19725040She's too busy being prime minster
>>19725040Next, probably
>>19725054kek
>>19725054jej
>>19724614>goes to USA>does meth with the GCW crew and has tons of unprotected sex with fans for meth money>becomes dimesJoey Janela made another career, you just gotta love the Joester
>>19725340what the fuck, why didn't maki have sex with me?
>>19725340>Itoh>having sexis a femcel so fraid not
>>19724896You're replying to a samefagging schizo lol
Always seem like some who's good in small doses
She has about 2 rehearsed matches in her repertoire. She'll be exposed as a shitter soon.
>>19724633Yes I want to lick her pits like a clit!-... wait, what?
>>19724614stuck in a vortex between two dimeless Miyus
>>19727229Why are you so negative BRO
>>19724614she is literally perfect
Stardom crowd didn't care today. Her shtick has already got tired there
>>19728149No need to lie.
>>19728197Watch the product.
>>19728209Turn your sound on.
sound was on, still was rows of bald uncles sitting stone faced when she came on
maki got a DEAFENING response
>>19725359You should have bought meth for her, bro
>>19724802There is no curse. It's a DDT subsidiary. They are simply destined to only ever moderately decline, stagnant for eternity or grow slightly just like big brother.
>>19728242Turn your monitor on next time then.
try a third time itoh schizo
>>19728703What on earth are you blathering about
>>19724802TJPW in Texas out drew every American Stardom show combined
>>19728770Yeah but you're talking two very obscure companies here in the US that practically no one here knows at all. It doesn't really reflect overall popularity.
what i have learned is that GCW and stardom are regional equivalents.
Itoh is still trash. She's a fresh gimmick for stardom uncs for now but they'll be sleeping through her games like the itabashi green hall uncs did by next month because itoh is a one match wrestler
>>19728785Sadly, wrestling isn't as big in Japan as it once was.Stardom is still the second largest wrestling company in Japan though. Market position matters.
>>19728793>I only consume Maki Itoh trough GCW Twitter clipsYeah, we can tell.
>>19728800I and most of /tjpw/ were rooting for her to leave with miyu for over two years. You're an absolute retarded faggot
>>19728803And now she's gone, so you should be happy and shut the fuck up about her, faggot.
>>19728803Maki Itoh makes people care about her, her matches and her opponents, gets crowd reactions and sells merch.That's what matters as a wrestler.Your job is to make money. Nothing else.
>>19728811Itoh simps are the most pathetic fans in wrestling lmaoooo
>>19728818I'm not an Itoh simp though, I barely post about her.But even more pathetic than simps are people who can't shut the fuck up about their exes.
betrayer.
>>19728842ok itoh slurper
>>19729070Now try saying it without sounding mad. :)
>tfw you've had another exhausting day dealing with Maki Itoh's bullshit
