i'm not in her because she's japanese, she's hot and her friends too. probably she's stupid too, usually dancers aren't smart. maybe because she's japanese she's different but iwouldn't bet on it
American wrestling is amazing It seems to be considerably larger than Japan Japan was a really wonderful professional wrestling popularity decades ago. In the past, it seems that entire family enjoyed professional wrestling on TV (Part of Japanese who aren't accustomed to wrestling were scared) But now it has fallen in popularity...
It seems tough to improve or maintain the Japanese wrestling market Japanese professional wrestlers are pretty hard They seem to be keeping steady efforts, maintaining Japanese fans

I am curious. How corrupt is the Japanese government?
The only problem with Japanese pro wrestling is it's too rooted in real martial arts, so there's less high flying stuff and less technical/powerful slams. They've got much better showmanship than American wrestling now, though. It would be nice if we could have a wrestler exchange program where we could learn from each other, but the head of American wrestling is an insane asshole.
But part of Japanese wrestlers think that they should incorporate American wrestling shows. >アメリカン・プロレスのようなエンターテイメントが必要です。テーマパークやアミューズメントパーク的なものをライバルとして、プロレスという戦いの部分だけではなく、人を楽しませることを総合的に進化させなければいけないですね。そうすれば、今後良くなっていくと思います。 "We need entertainment like American Pro Wrestling. we must evolve comprehensively to entertain not just the part of the fight called pro-wrestling, as rivals as theme parks or amusement parks. That way, I think that Japan wrestling will become better in the future. "
That's a shame, guys like Jushin Liger are a hundred times more entertaining than anybody in the WWE. Maybe I'm just biased since I've seen more American wrestling though. The only kind of character American wrestling can put out anymore is the arrogant guy who yells a lot.
Compared to the stuff we used to have like William Regal or Jim Duggan, American wrestling is just kind of sad now. I can see the idea of wanting to copy the guy who makes the most money, but I think American wrestling is successful because of its legacy more than any actual business moves they're making.
>guys like Jushin Liger are a hundred times more entertaining than anybody in the WWE. Jushin Liger is a legendary wrestler in Japan too. Battle history is wonderful, but his passion and faithfulness towards wrestling are extraordinary. William Legal was a legendary wrestler with genuine techniques and strength. In the USA, I felt he did somewhat (?) flashy shows, but maybe it could be helped to become a popular wrestler in the USA. Jim Duggan...lol In Japan, he was called "Hansen II"
Thank you for memories of nostalgia. I'll go to bed soon. Good night.
