>>197490515 good matches and 500 botches ain't good bro
>>19749068LMFAO, that's better than most wrestlers since most don't usually have even one good match a year and everyone botches.
>>19749051I forgot her match vs Utami, which despite the ref save was still very good.
>>19749075Was shite
>>19749079You're entitled to your opinion but a lot of people don't agree.
>>19749084Trannies on cagematch aren't considered people due to the horrific things they've done to their bodies.
Should we get someone from Mayu's past at the event? Nah just bring fat The Rock.
>>19749088Cope.
>>19749084wow a whole 103 people
>>19749108More than the one person that's just you.
>>19749111and less than the 6k that were at DQ
>>19749116>pretending you even watched the thingYou're cute
>>19749100See. The WWE partnership is real.
>>19749122I watched for ema then switched it off
>>19749132kek, Ema's Stardom.
>>19749140well yeah i said DQ
>>19749146Sorry, this was my bad - when I said watched the thing I meant Mayu vs Utami but that wasn't given what I was responding to.
>>19749149*wasn't clear given - I'm still waking up
>IyoGoes to wwe>AsukaGoes to wwe>TheclaGoes to aewWhy doesn't this idiot get a clue?? She probably doesn't have many years left. Money and miles concept seems to elude her.
>>19749168She's not smart. She had a high paying job where they buried her in the mid-card and were scared to ask her to do anything because her mental issues and gave it up to do 2 hour autograph sessions after every match and work pachinko parlors.
>>19749168She's menhara. She was a shut-in before she became a wrestler. She regularly gets lost in medium sized cities, and that's in Japan. She's happy with her cozy life with her dogs and apartment.She's not looking to live in the US and that's okay.
>>19749168but she has the highest cage match rating of any current wrestler due to not selling out and joining wwe. if she went to wwe she would lose that.
Thecla
>>19749180what an honor that enriches her life every day
>>19749180I doubt she even knows what Cagematch is.She just likes her cozy life. She's probably got a guy on the side or is set to inherit Rossy's money or something.Not everyone wants to go to the US and wrestle in WWE and be in the spotlight and that's fine, doesn't mean she's not a good wrestler.
>>19749200>Guy on the side>He doesn't know the Mrs. Green Apple saga
>>19749203I'm aware, but she's menhara so who knows if that's real or not.My point was that she's probably fine.
Funniest thing Mayu ever did was make Sumie's retirement about her and force NJPW to change her retirement match so Mayu wouldn't have a meltdown
The resident STARdrone parasocial schizo tranny is having another Mayu Meltdown.
>>19749051>nanae>iyo>irohaso, you mean to tell me she can with great wrestlers? you don’t say
>>19749882So you're confirming that Mayu's 15th anniversary with a GHC title main event drew less than Konami vs. Rina on a weekday?
>>19749897can work*
>>19749897>>>Got solid matches out of Seri Yamaoka, Victoria Yuzuki, and HummingbirdAlso said she got good matches out of not-so-great wrestlers, funny how you had to cherrypick what I wrote to attack my point
>>19749897Nanae made Ryoko Sakimura look so good that people thought she was a super rookie. And now she's fired.
LOVE MAYU
I liked when Mayu joined she said she's going to go to the dojo and work with the rookies to make them better and then she's never gone to the dojo once.
>>19749928It this confirmed? The rookies seem to respect her a lot so it seems obvious she spends quite a bit of time with them.
>>19749933Yes. Rossy was cheap and bought a dojo in the middle of nowhere where if you run the ropes you hit the walls and the ceiling is low so no one goes.
>>19749941Gotta love the Rosster
Let's just make shit up
>>19749933Do they? Rossy said no one in Stardom respected Mayu because they were too focused on themselves. Wonder what is different.
>>19749898WWE outdraws your pissant fed every show.
>>19749955What a mess of a company, especially when the owner is bad-mouthing the top wrestler
>>19749952Show one picture of Mayu in the dojo. You can't because she doesn't even know where it was. She's a useless shitter who is bad for wrestling as a hole. Doesn't give back and makes everything about her or she has a meltdown on instagram late at night. She ruined Stardom, sumie's retirement, and now Marigold with her behavior.
>>19749956No one here cares about WWE
>>19749963It draws more money and sells more seats and that's the only thing that matters.
>>19749975No, what's important is what people enjoy watching and I don't enjoy watching WWE.Glad you like it but I honest-to-god don't give a fuck.
>>19749975>mcdonald's is better than your local fine steak restaurantget the fuck outta here
>>19749991>joshi wrestling is fine steakHAHAHAHA
>>19749997>shifts the goalpostsPoint was you made a retarded argument, but sure, draw a false analogy that wasn't made if it make ya feel superior. You're the one trying to big league. I didn't come and tell you that joshi is better than WWE. But you're the one who has to talk about how the fake fighting you enjoy is somehow "superior" to the fake fighting I enjoy so please, go on. :)
I think the funniest thing was instead of apologizing for copyright infringement Rossy had Mayu do it on her anniversary. What a cuck this bitch is.
>>19750010stardom better
>>19750036I mostly watch Stardom and just Marigold once in a while. Stardom is better but it's interesting watch Marigold to see wrestlers develop.
>>19750044stop enjoying things
>>19750050kek
>>19749975And for the record, it took WWE two shows to draw at Ryogoku what Stardom drew at one show, this shit is relative.But one isn't better than the other. It just boils down to what you like.
>>19749200>Not everyone wants to go to the US and wrestle in WWE and be in the spotlight and that's fine, doesn't mean she's not a good wrestler.Kek I literally have no response to this. so in other words she's not as desperate for money as them other broads. Her form is good and wwe would be disastrous for her.
>>19750083I think that's a spot-on summary.I really don't think she'd make it wrestling in the US and would possibly even Hana herself.
>>19749179Interesting
>>19749032Please post her doing something impressiveI can't understand how cagematch trannies suck up to this ugly, gangly, uncharismatic bitch so much that they seem to think shes one of the GOATs. All of the descriptions I listed are easily seen just from basic webmsSo whats the deal?
>>19750102Stick to will assplay kiddo
>>19750096Yeah, she was a shut-in, discovered pro-wrestling watching TV one day, then ran away from home to join a new company that was forming and looking for raw rookies at the time (Stardom). Her mother didn't approve and she only had like a few bucks to her name but bet it all on wrestling.
>>19750108Unfathomably based. I'm a shut in myself and watch TV everyday but how come I can't become like this
>>19750102She's just a good storyteller.I'm not going to post a bunch of moves. But here, I think this is one of her best matches and sums her up nicely, if you're willing to watch.Mayu Iwatani vs Io Shiraihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A85LEsVyMXM
>>19750112Just suck for 10 years and then have a bunch of trannies on twitter discover you during the covid pandemic and hype you up because they're as mentally ill as you and see themselves in you
>>19749032She should have just retired from Stardom.her last few years weren't the greatest anyway The last match i remember her even doing was against Horse face
>>19750128Nice. I'm also 229 pounds so that might be bad (it's ok cause I'm tall so it's natural weight). The reason I'm interested is because I was browsing YouTube and it randomly recommended a match between her and I iyo sky. I thought never seen that so watched it. My observation is that iyo dominates most of the match and is in fact, quite sadistic to mayu. The shoot backbreaker, stiff shots, crossface etc. Iyo seems to enjoy it. Does mayu let everyone abuse her like that?
>>19750153Pretty much. She's the quintessential underdog, which is how she works best.That's why the Marigold thing is such a big change for her. She's literally the best worker there so the underdog thing doesn't fly and she has to be more dominant.
Here are my raw thoughts after watching the show. No assist from ChatGPT. Mayu Iwatani's 15th Anniversary was everything one could hope for. A fantastic ceremony that helped celebrate her past, followed by a match with Utami Hayashishita that plays to all of her greatest hits, some silliness mixed in, and a closing that saw her do everything in her power to allow those around her to take part -- putting Marigold on her back for that very moment.Everything about the celebration was a wonderful, wonderful way of kicking Marigold into full force for 2026 -- with her and Utami leading by example with a big time main event on a big time show.I couldn't ask for much more from it all, and I think Mayu has already proven this month alone that 2026 is going to be one of the most special years of her entire career.So for one final time, Happy Anniversary Icon!The Greatest of All Time.
>>19750189Hot. I'll be watching a lot more mayu on YouTube the coming weeks. And any other ways.
>>19750189>dominant Impossible
>>19750198Enjoy! There's a list of a few matches over on the +1 thread. >>19674934
damn we are the point where mayu stans have to false flag they don't know who mayu is to recommend her matchesrough times
>>19749032Still Toni
>>19750219kek, you think too much of me, I ain't that clever.
>>19750219Tbh I actually only watched her wrestle this week's but I've known her for years. Lol. >>19750213Fuckin based
What's her best matches?
>>19750244I'd say the ones linked to here >>19674934But she had a lot of others I couldn't find links to.
>>19749978>>19749991>>19750080>STARDOM > Marigold because seats:)>WWE > STARDOM because seats>:|
>>19750265I'm a fan of both and I never said STARDOM > Marigold because seats.STARDOM > Marigold because it has a stronger roster. But what I enjoy about Marigold is watching the talent develop and get better. I think it will get good someday.
>>19750153Actually the reason I mentioned this is because I kind of figured out that Mayu is a masochist/submissive/underdog from the webms on here but I never pegger Iyo as a sadist. She quite enjoys it. So the Babyface iyo is just a facade.
>>19750265>>19750273I would add that, yes, I think the WWE roster as a whole is better than either of those companies as well.It's just not a product I enjoy watching. I like more sports feel (I also prefer NJPW over American wrestling) and I don't like sitting through tons of commercials. But it's alright, I usually watch Rumble and Wrestlemania.
Mayu announced at the show today she's releasing her 2nd autobiography. Even though she released one a couple years ago and it was made into a movie. Her life is so interesting that she has to write a second one and release it the same time as Saya Kamitanis
I prefer Marigold, marvelous and senjo smaller rosters, less multi man matches involving 8 or more wrestler
>>19750306Yeah, I find that one of the biggest appeals of Marigold apart from the watching talent develop thing I mentioned as well. Matches seem a bit more personalized than just throwing two groups together.But a lot of the wrestlers are too raw in terms of talent for most people coming from western wrestling, where they largely hire some of the best of the best. You get downright *bad* matches even if you enjoy the two wrestlers involved (I found Misa vs Nao a few days ago dreadful).
>>19750317It's literally the same matches over and over in Marigold
>>19750321On tours, yeah. But I don't watch every show - they do that because they're mostly concerned about the in-person audiences who aren't going to watch every show.They're not working with Stardom's roster. The lower part of Stardom's roster isn't necessarily going to be to what Western fans are used to either but I find lower card matches entertaining at least. Its smaller shows are very watchable. Marigold, you're better off with a couple smaller shows but mostly bigger ones, and even then you might be disappointed because it's really a company in development.
>born February 1993Player is literally just 2 months older than me. Wow.
>>19749032[REMINDER]Marigold>Number 1 on Wrestle Universe>3 of the Top 4>4 of the Top 4 including Monday MagicAEW>Still No Charty >(despite having 100's of episodes on Wrestle Universe)
>>19750391Who cares about AEW and the only AEW matches on there are when they feature a TJPW wrestler
>>19750459OP does, that's the whole reason he does this
>>19750473As OP I don't care about AEW or WWE. They can both go out of business or don't, it doesn't affect my life.
>>19750482Why do you have to rip on Mayu though? Gal's just trying to live her life and put on the best wrestling shows she can given the other talents she has to work with.
>>19750482Sure, that must be why you're always posting about Kenny Omega in the thread
>>19750523I don't even know who Kenny Omega is. I don't watch men wrestle - not a fag.
where can I read more lore about her hikikomori days? does she talk about it in her book?
>>19750556I haven't read it, but there's a ton of lore out there about her if you look online.As an aside, I'll add that Stardom is a lot like New Japan in that the history goes back a ways and ties everyone to everyone else. Like you see a lot about Tam Nakano (Puddin') around here. She was Mayu's right hand gal until she left Mayu's group (because Mayu sucks as a leader). Starlight Kid was Mayu's protege and also left her when Mayu wasn't able to protect her.
oh NO NO NO
>>19751244The self proclaimed icon of professional wrestling can't sell out her 15th anniversary show. Inoki never declared himself the icon of professional wrestling but he was able to sell out shows.
>>19751249Looks pretty packed to me
>>19751255>can't sell out>sell outWhat level do you read at?
Iwatani's 15th anniversary is also Stardom's 15th anniversary, and it's impossible to separate the two, but because she's so comfortable doing things like pirated cards and other disrespectful things, she's been ostracized and it's a lonely memorial.
>>19751262>posts a picture of a packed house>"oh, there's a few empty seats here and there, her anniversary show is a failure!"Imagine pretending to watch something you don't even care about just so you can own people on an online anonymous wrestling board and try to ruin their enjoyment of something that makes them happy.Get a fucking life dude.
>>19751286It's not even 75% full retard lol. There are rows missing on the floor, the entire first row of the bleachers in the photo is empty. Empty seats all at the top. Mayu should stop calling herself the icon of professional wrestling. Maybe the icon of AEW with this draw. Not of women's or overall professional wrestling.
>>19751425Let me reiterate: get a fucking life.
