My joshi promotion got fucked recently. I was pretty bummed about it. But I think whoever fucked it was probably more happy to fuck it than I am sad to get cucked. The total happiness in the world increased. So, whatever.

She probably wouldn't have been signed if she hadn't done a stint in Stardom, no one really knew who she was, she was just some random bimbo from England, so yeah I can see his point

He didn’t seem to give a fuck quite honestly. I don’t think he like the foreigners that much.
>>12289665
He’s passionate about joshi players.

rossy liked mariah quite a lot. he's the one who gave her the foreign ace nickname she had been going by. his goodbye post about her spoke very highly of both her and her time there. from all sonny kept leaking out apparently her and mina's brief tag title reign was even as a thank you to her for her hard work during her 9 months there, which she was only originally slated to spend 3. also from what sonny leaked it seems she kept her cards very close regarding what she was doing after leaving. maybe he thought she would actually be returning. rossy's post about her debut was diplomatic though. i didn't get any bitterness or ill will from it

white people leaving is the price you pay for bringing them in. especially women never want to stay in japan too long.
you know it's coming from day one, an old man in the wrestling business knows better than to be bitter about it

Remember when people swore that Tony was forming good partnerships with these other feds to help them instead of poaching talent like WWE was? Yea.

for sure. i wouldn't argue a word of this for a second. like i had mentioned she even ended up staying 3x longer than either she or them had planned for. so it's not like they thought she'd be there forever. it's not a bad message to send either with what kidani is saying. mariah always had the charisma but her wrestling itself improved at least tenfold during her time there. she's a great posterchild so to speak for them if they want to make stardom a destination for more western talent to come through

She wasn't poached though. Stardom never had her under a formal full time contract, which if they wanted to keep her was a mistake for them. But it also opened up the doors for offers to come in for May like what had been reported

I wasn't saying it was. For May to go from Stardom directly to AEW though and not just back to the indies is something I'm sure a lot of indie names would or at least should want to try and get in on if they're looking for that next step

Considering what Stardom does to every other joshi promotion and what NJPW does to a lesser extent, he knows he's not in a position to be throwing stones.

So close that everyone knew for months she was going to AEW. Sonny is a bullshitter and will lie and say whatever he can to make Stardom look better.

I mean he could very well be right but the usual Japanese issue of keeping them is at play. If more women do show interest in Stardom because of her though it's way better than they could have hoped for initially.

Women wrestlers or fans?
If you're talking about women wrestlers, an army of them has run through Stardom in the days.
Go check the cards post COVID back to 2012.
The idea that some new generation of women wrestlers is going to discover Stardom because of Mariah 'fucking' May is some deep copium by Kidani.

Dakota Kai is right there you post-Hana newfags

Which other gaijins Stardom should sign then?

To be fair how often is Dakota's history in Stardom brought up? Then again how often is Dakota brought up even though she's on tv every week? Mariah's been on tv for less than 3 minutes combined so far and has name dropped Stardom both times. She amongst the first gaijin over there since covid so it's not impossible that people could be learning about Stardom through her
>>12290827
If you're asking which other gaijin who have been to Stardom recently should be signed then honestly none of them. Xia Brookside was worse than she's ever been. Xena was carried to one decent farewell match by Syuri but otherwise was as unnoticeable as possible. Jessi may as well have not even gone given how quick and uneventful her tour was. Megan Bayne is apparently already signed to AEW? That whole situation is odd, but given what I've seen of her there I wouldn't take her either
