Quoted By:
>Mayu Iwatani (29), the "icon" of women's professional wrestling "Stardom," has been training in English with Mr. Yuji Nagata (54) of New Japan Pro-Wrestling to advance into the world.
>She is scheduled to challenge SWA World Champion Thekla (28) at the Fukuoka International Center on May 5. If she is crowned the champion, she will complete the Grand Slam of belts under Stardom's jurisdiction (excluding the Future Title, which has restrictions on eligibility).
>Since the title was created for the world, Iwatani immediately shouted in English, "Good night! I'M Icon of Stardom! Mayu Iwatani" and introduced herself. Mr. Nagata, who has been appointed temporary coach of the STARS, looked at her with a sullen expression, but pointed out, "Good night is good night. Good evening," he pointed out.
>Iwatani then said, "Good Evening! I'm Icon of Stardom! Mayu Iwatani! Check it out!" She spoke fluent English as if he had never seen it before. The leadership skills of a man who knows the world are indeed impressive.
>Anyway, Iwatani is now fired up for the SWA match, saying, "I haven't been able to wear the belt for more than one year and five months. She also lost the world title match on March 27. I wondered if that was good enough for the icon of Stardom, so I decided to achieve the grand slam of the championship that only I could do.
>Once I win the SWA, I will fight anywhere in the world. I will raise the value of the SWA and make it the world's number one belt, thereby making Stardom famous around the world," she said with a burning desire to fight for the title.
