SHIMMER and Chikara were vanity promotions run by toxic smarks who only booked joshi to get their no-talent friends over. Nakagawa teamed with a dead weight Australian, Yumi Ohka jobbed to Jessica Havok, Aja Kong jobbed to Sara Del Ray, AKINO jobbed to Mia Yim.
On the rare occasion two Japanese wrestlers fought each other (like Kana vs Ayako Hamada in SHIMMER), get the mute button ready because you know what US crowds are like.
