>>10142763You aren't wrong Anon, and as someone who as worked behind the scenes on a few shows, it's heart breaking. First-off, wrestling was my hobby, I had my masters degree and knew very well it's a dying industry that will have to evolve along side MMA for survival. Comic books were the same way, it got tangled with cinema and now they have this weird parasitic relationship that's about to fall apart. Molly Holly I hear is living a pretty good life via religion, she does a lot of charity work and I'm genuinely proud of her. Lita, Victoria, Torrie... God it kills me. Melina is probably the most depressing, as she never found her footing. Across the sea in Japan, you have a few that run the dojo system over there. At least in Japan they take it a bit more seriously, however, the pay isn't good as you make about $200 US per-week as a bottom level joshi. Plus there's the idol culture and perversion that gives it an extra dimension of sadness. Manami Toyota MIGHT be gay, but at the end of the day she's still alone. Apparently Bull married a younger guy, but then again Bull knows business. Yet Aja Kong and Sumie Sakai still pop up all the time, Sumie once said she only got into MMA for the money. I genuinely feel like Sumie has found peace through teaching and being a step-Mom to talent, but ultimately she's under financial pressure. You're either an attraction like Awesome Kong, or fans just want to fuck you. The thirst and simping for female wrestlers is unreal, even among bookers/wrestlers. Fingers crossed Hikaru Shida goes back into acting, as she can actually have a nice life for herself and not be crippled at comic-con by 50.
