Lil' Kazu Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Wasn't she banged up after the MYC tapings too? That's not good. Well the attack was Prior to Christmas and she was in Stardom at the 24th to join Yoko Bitos retirement ceremony since they were a tag team before. Maybe she took time off for a bit longer to be with friends and Family for a bit. At the ceremony she said that she is missing everyone cause she is totally alone in the USA. Before you ask, I know it because I watched it (I'm subscribed to Stardom). Thanks, I was about to ask!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Vercetti Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Nia Jax knows it's a long shot, but there's one superstar she wants to see come out of retirement for Raw 25 more than any other. The red brands anniversary show - which will broadcast live from two separate New York venues on January 22 - will already see several old-school legends make their WWE return. 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin confirmed his presence this week, adding his name to a list which includes The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and Kevin Nash. When asked for her personal hopes and dreams for who else might turn up, Jax reeled off several female superstars of the past, but one name stood out among the usual suspects. I would love to get in the ring with Bull Nakano, she told Sky Sports. I would be so excited. The nomination of Nakano as a chief source of inspiration for Jax is a curious one which gets less curious under examination. Jax has been presented as a monster heel throughout her WWE run and so it is perhaps obvious she should use Nakano - regarded as one of the best big hitter female competitors of all time - as her blueprint. She also acknowledges the contribution made by Nakano and her All-Japan Women contemporaries to the advancement of the womens division in WWE, citing those pioneers as vital to the cause of the modern-day crew. Watching her back in the day, she [Nakano] is the definition of a badass woman, she said. If you look back at their wrestling matches they were revolutionary back then, they just didnt get the spotlight that we do now. If it wasnt for those women putting in the work and the time, and showing people what they can do then I dont think we would have had the opportunities to show what we can do now. They went insane. If you go back and watch that stuff, its so cool. I always study and watch them, it was super cool. While the All-Japan Womens division was unquestionably hugely important in wrestling history, it was something of a niche interest during its mid-1990s heyday. Nakano, however, did translate to a mainstream western audience, primarily through her out-and-out face-against-heel clashes with Alundra Blayze in the then-WWF. They faced off on Monday Night Raw on several occasions, where the unique Nakano was able to exhibit some examples of the ultra-stiff Japanese style, before a brief run in WCW and then an eventual retirement in 2012. That [style] is something that I love, said Jax. You have women in UFC who are kicking the crap out of each other. If you look at what they were doing back then, you wouldnt want to be on the end of one of those backfists or the way they hit each other. http://www.skysports.com/amp/wwe/news/14203/11203224/nia-jax-wants-bull-nakano-at-wwe-raws-25th-anniversary-show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturi Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 I'd watch that for sure. I'd also like to see Madusa come back for one more match she looked great at the Hall of Fame. Both Madusa and Bull worked for Rise last month after Bull debuted as a Manager for Kris Wolf and Medusa for Shotzi Blackheart. You can watch parts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoONGfq8gpY Bull had arrived 5 days earlier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BS91KaYHrSs They also had announced a collaboration with Stardom so all the roster of RISE will get to tour in Japan with Stardom.

classiq. Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Jazzy Gabert underwent neck surgery today to repair the injury that caused WWE to rescind her contract offer following a standout performance in the Mae Young Classic. An update on her GoFundMe page reads: Jazzy had her neck surgery this morning and it was very successful. She is in great spirits and she is ready to tackle the road to recovery. 2018 is going to be a HUGE year for her on so many different platforms. Stay tuned. As we previously reported WWE doctors discovered three herniated discs in her neck as she underwent medical exams, so she was deemed medically disqualified. Gabert wrote a blog post before going under the knife and said, I dont know when or even if ever I can step back in the ring and start earning money again. Maybe I dont even want to.
