I worry about the future of women's wrestling in Japan if it becomes acceptable for married women to continue to wrestle.

While Kairi and Asuka have become god-like figures whose marriages didn't affect their popularity or potential, this is not the case for wrestlers in Japan.

Risa Sera and Hyper Misao experienced lower product sales when they announced their marriages.

Some fans may feel betrayed and no longer want to support a married joshi wrestler because there is a certain level of professionalism that must be upheld.

When you look at Rin Kadokura (29) and Kyuuri (23), for instance, both are players who had potential but never made it past a certain level. One has to wonder if they would have become greater if they had worked harder and been more focused instead of having fun with boys.

Skipping work and going out to have fun is what is "unprofessional."

It is a fact that marriage puts a stop gap on a joshi wrestler's potential for growth because most fans aren't going to be interested in supporting a married woman. From that point forward, there is no room for growth, only a downward trend.

Emi Sakura, veteran wrestler and AEW superstar said this, "The most important thing that I always say is every Pro Wrestler must keep their fans. Fans are the most important people in this business. You can do everything except do bad by your fans that support you. I don’t have any rules for my students, but I teach them to control themselves. If they have a boyfriend or want to smoke, they must move away from the fans and can’t let anybody know."

When you leave behind the fans who supported you, retirement is the only appropriate recourse.
