>>9665388>>9665419>>9665478I will say, I was under the impression that those who lost before the Rookie Cup would be eliminated for whatever reason. At least I recall that being mentioned as a stipulation with Sheila vs Little Beaver, I didn't think that was for a spot though, I just assumed it was an unwritten rule or something.
That didn't 100% influence my decision with Daimaou though. I think her potentially interfering with Shogun after a match or during the tournament would make for some solid story and make Daimaou look a bit more threatening.
If everyone's cool with a little suspension of disbelief after the bantz with Holly and Daimaou that Shogun can make it to the ring, I'd love to put her in Onigiri's corner since I was intending to have them potentially team at some point anyway. I worry that seems a bit silly after Shogun specifically refused Daimaou, but I think that can be explained by Shogun more willing to help someone in a match than fight a demonic heel who specifically wants to hurt her.
