BestInTheWorld614 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Maybe that's why JR has limited days and doing projects like the women's tourney and U.K. Show so he has time to look into the talent and make it special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E#37 Posted May 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Regarding Io Shirai what happened just moments ago. Io retained her red belt in a match that went to a 30 minute draw so there is that. All signs point to her staying in Stardom at this point. Edit: Mayu Iwatani just came out to challenge Io fo the red belt next so that could still happen before the Tournament. TL;DR We still know nothing about the Io Shirai situation.

Beardd Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 In Jim's defense, he did say he plans to do research on the UK talents since he wasn't so familiar with them. So I'd assume he'd do the same for the women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oresama Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Io Shirai, one of the biggest womens wrestling stars in Japan, has accepted WWEs offer to join the company, Dave Meltzer reports. Shirai, 27, is considered one of the top wrestlers in the Stardom promotion. She had previously attended a Performance Center tryout back in March, though WWE quickly wiped out all mentions of her in an accompanying article. She has been speculated to come in since the beginning of the year when Meltzer mentioned WWE was interested in both her and Kairi Hojo. http://squaredcirclesirens.com/io-shirai-signs-with-wwe/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssaultDriver720 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Looks like Io Shirai's trip to WWE didn't go as well as expected and she hasn't signed yet. Stardom is reportedly doing all they can to keep her so we might not see her in this. LOL Nope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmerc Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 i have no idea about anyone outside WWE but I'm excited for this chick because everyone is hyped for her! One of the reasons I loved the UK and CWC tournaments is that I get exposed to new faces and talents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Eastwood Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I hate to be that guy but is JR a big women's wrestling guy? I always got the feeling that that was not really his thing. I know he's really against intergender matches, at least. He'll be better then the king going "puppies" every few minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturi Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Well it already happened what I thought will happen. The wwe asked Kairi Hojo to change her finisher (top rope elbow drop) because Bayley is using a top rope elbow drop as her signature and sometimes as a finisher. I really hate this stupid moveset restrictions, most of all since Kairis elbow drop is not only executed differently but also looks different to the one that bayley does. I'm pretty sure that they will also ask Mia Yim and Io Shirai to change their finishers because both are using piledriver variations and as we know the wwe does only allow undertaker to execute a piledriver and no one else. However, this is one of the women I would love to see in the tournament or at least on nxt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayXV5JcJ_KQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E#37 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 To be fair, Io uses the tombstone as set up move. the Moosault is her main finisher. But that will most likely change as well. Her variation Moonstomp would be cool but there is no way she will be allowed to do that in WWE. I could see her Deadlift German Suplex becoming the finisher in WWE.

They will probably cut like 90% of her moveset. Unless they will let her use the 619 Variation as her finisher which is actually one of her signatures rather. Akira is already using the german suplex as his finisher so I doubt she will be allowed to use that one. As about the piledriver I didn't meant the tombstone one, I meant the flipping one she also did in LU against Pentagon Dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of that move, Nixon Newell will of course have to drop her version, the Welsh Destroyer as well. I just hope she gets to keep The Shiniest Wizard.

Emrys Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hopefully the WWE learns their lesson from the CWC in that last year they didn't sign ZSJ or Kota Ibushi. WWE wanted to sign ZSJ... ZSJ didn't want to sign with them. Not sure about Ibushi. But I imagine they wanted him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
