>[Stardom] Shirakawa Mina issues ultimatum to "evil" Thekura: "I'll make you look like this"
>Mina Shirakawa of the women's professional wrestling organization Stardom has issued an ultimatum to Thekla (31) of the villainous group H.A.T.E., who she will be clashing with at the Ota Ward General Gymnasium on the 15th.
>At the Korakuen Hall event in February, he was hit with a metal chair by Tekla and injured, and was out of action for about a month. He made his comeback at the Yokohama event on the 8th of this month, but was again attacked with a weapon by Tekla during the match, and was left covered in poison mist, causing him to suffer the humiliation. Furious, Shirakawa challenged Tekla to a one-on-one fight. If he won, he demanded that Tekla apologize by kneeling on the ground and pay the unpaid fine he had received for assaulting a member of the organization's staff.
>As the showdown approached, Shirakawa visited "the Gallery Omotesando," where Thekla's paintings were on display. He looked at Thekla's self-portrait with a sentimental expression and said with an anger that "I acknowledge his talent for painting...I think he should focus on being a painter. I'll make sure his face looks like this on the day of the match."
>For Shirakawa, who was busy last year participating in AEW many times, Hate was a thorn in her side. "I didn't have many matches in Japan so every match was important, but every big match I was paired with a member of Hate and it made me feel bad, so I didn't come back to Japan to be a stepping stone for Hate. In my last match, I finally had enough of Hate using lethal weapons," she recalled.
>He decided to put an end to his feud with Tekla with this fight. "What Tekla is doing is assault. I want to achieve something bigger, and I don't have time to bother with those guys. So I'm going to beat Tekla and make her kneel down on the ground," he declared, before leaving the gallery.
