>>9322125I'm not a newfag. I've been watching since long. I never considered Ice to be a big company, just a medium company that had a few big years, and now it's reverting to where it historically has always been.
I'm sure they will rebuild because they always do. They trained most of their wrestlers from scratch. They always find new rookies, and they always turn out good.
Even after the traitors left in 2022 Ice Ribbon was building new stars like Yuuki Mashiro and Banny Oikawa. Creating athletic and charismatic players such as Tequila Saya, Matsuya Uno and Neko Nitta is what their internal development does. Nao Ishikawa will be next to break through on that level.
Anons want to screech about Satsuki Totoro but ignore the fact that Kurumi was equally as ugly and even more overpushed during Ice's peak years, and the company was still great overall.
Riho and Tsukushi started as literal children, Aoi Kizuki was fat and weak, and although they wrestled for different companies, even Mio Shirai was a slow burn, Rina Yamashita was boring, and I remember Misaki Ohata shouting "KORE HA NAN DA?!" at Asuka in the middle of a match because she was fucking a leglock up so badly.
The players people have a hateboner for now will be the ones they're marking out for next year.
