>>15910923A few names aside (Miyu Yamashita), to me TJPW always felt like women playing wrestlers versus actually being wrestlers. As someone who's willing to suspend a lot of disbelief, I'm okay with it sometimes. But it's not something I'd show other people. I contrast this with Stardom, where there are women who really do put on matches that outshine what even a lot of guys do.
Yuka might have been alright in the TJPW environment, but now she's older and recovering from injuries and can't even perform at the same level she did while making a name for herself in TJPW. And she's no one in AEW. I feel bad for her because I like her but I really have my doubts that she's going to make it here and probably would have been better staying in Japan despite being an AEW original.
