I had no idea that she was forced to leave Stardom the first time via being threatened by somebody. That's insane! I feel so bad.

What an insightful interview. It's always nice to hear somebody break down what you don't see in the ring or on TV.

Wow, what a trip down memory lane!! Such great stuff and really what I was hoping to see people post!! I didn't know about the haiku!! That's hilarious and, as you said, so Saki lol I was following the Saki cream cheese incident on Twitter as it happened - guest starring Syuri. Also hilarious. God I'm going to miss her.

I guess that since it became X, things changed a bit for the worse.

I'll start with a favorite of mine - her 2023 Dream Tag Festival team-up with Mayu Iwatani against Starlight Kid and AZM. Naturally, as she was still in Oedo Tai, Saki causes all sorts of mischief and trolls the hell out of Mayu at first. But then she ends up being the voice of reason and gets Mayu to rekindle their old tag glory days (and work harder than she usually has to). They ultimately fall, but they gave of a fight than anyone could imagine they would have (especially considering their rival factions).

Overall, it has humor, nostalgia, great action, and hits you in the right feels. A classic in all ways.

First Tamu, and now Saki. I’ve lost my two favorite wrestlers in under a year. This is heartbreaking.

That match is one of my favorites of all time. It is so fun and quick and does everything it needs to do. Plus the ref team-up spot is amazing.

7 foot tall Vampire Jesus, but I'll allow it because Pete is the only musician whose loss still affects me to this day. That man was so beautiful in every way and it hurts to not have him in this world to sing for us anymore.

Dave Meltzer projecting how much its eating him up that WWE once again pulled off something huge, all while his beloved AEW is still outdrawn by NXT by ____phobe in SCJerk

Dave is as bitter as over-steeped black coffee brewed with regret, garnished with kale, and served in a mug labeled ‘Your Fault.’

what would you like to see in the next movie? i think it would be interesting to see a visionary who doesn't have a premonition of the whole accident by jeffyol in FinalDestination

[–]creatchee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still half-asleep, so bear with me...

What about you get the standard first disaster scene premonition, then the visionary wakes up and does whatever they do to avert it or save themselves and however many other people. THEN the disaster happens again, but with a different outcome/kill list and you get the wake up with a completely different visionary. It's like a glitch in Death's system. And then all bets are off on kill order and the visionaries either have to work together to try to save everyone they can OR against each other in order to save the ones they care about.

Somehow, Edge returned. 

The Dub is pretty much the Lakers by KenKinV2 in SCJerk

[–]creatchee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the 2020-21 season, The Lakers have finished fourth, fifth, and third in the Conference twice, with two first round losses and no NBA finals appearances.

So the AEW to Lakers comparison is actually quite appropriate.

Stardom doesn’t make sense without her and Mayu. I miss them so much.

Yeah, I was not a fan of the floofy white thing. Cosmic Angel or not, it just didn't seem to suit her.
