>Tsukushi's path to redemption that began 3 years ago
>Two successors of Manami Toyota finally face off on the biggest stage in Ice Ribbon history

Result =
"Tsukasa Fujimoto" 0/0
"Tsukushi" 0/0

I want Ice Ribbon to think carefully about these results.
There may be no choice but to goripush Yuuki Mashiro.

I agree but it was for a lesser belt which probably worked people into forgetting it slightly faster. The first half of the year was incredible for the NEVER with Shingo vs. Cobb, Tana vs. Shingo and Tana vs. Jay

4. Miyu Yamashita
5. Starlight Kid
6. Tsukasa Fujimoto

It's fan voting unlike Tokyo Sports which are editors on the take.
Japanese joshi fans and western fans aren't usually on the same page.

For comparison here is Women's Pro Wrestling Grand Prix 2020

1. Giulia
2. Yoshiko
3. Utami Hayashishita
4. Suzu Suzuki
5. Mayu Iwatani
6. Asuka (WWE)
7. Saori Anou
8. Sareee
9. Rina Yamashita
10. Ram Kaichou

Giulia went from having 2000 votes in 2020 to not even making the list and Mayu got knocked off for the first time in years.

That has to be western votes too, because TJPW Miyu has virtually no fans proven by how her merch barely sells.

Because she's an overrated, no-selling shitter who plays (very poorly) a serious character in a comedy fed. That would be like having Hagane Shinno as a top male wrestler because he's the only serious character booked in a playground fed like Gatoh Move.

If it is a westerner with a ShuPro app subscription yes but can't be more than a dozen of those. Here's the actual vote counts - Utami took it going away then Tam and everybody else was much lower in vote count

Why do Stardom fans seethe over TJPW so much
How dare a wrestler act like a wrestler
Is it because they are running Sumo Hall soon and you're threatened?

Merch sales is the only indicator of a wrestler's popularity. In a live event setting you pay to attend and have the rights to stand in line for the merch table, buy your favorite's merch. The fact she's one of the Top 5 with the least amount of sales proves people don't pay to see her compete. There's no other indicator.

I've heard that social media clicks are also and yet Starlight Kid can dance in her underwear for 100K views on TikTok and Tsukka can do a fan Q&A for 2K and the only amount of votes that seperate them when the fans vote on popularity is - 58

I watch both, and she's literally the worst. It's all about context, It's like watching Sesame street where one of the puppets thinks it's a drama show and not a kid's show. Doesn't fit, doesn't work, and it's cheap for "best wrestler points" when you're the only one not following the formula.

It's easy to stand out when you're the only actor who's given the serious role. Same shit that happens with DDT and Takeshita, guy is literally a charisma blackhole, but hey, his role was written to be "le serious badass guy" so people buy into it.
