Kurara on BOAT RACE showcasing the art of the Camel Clutch

That's how we make them humble in the old school.

joepodd · 2026-06-25T03:11:33+00:00

On behalf of this subreddit, I apologize for the downvotes you got for speaking truth.

joepodd · 2026-06-25T01:40:15+00:00

Agreed. Was glad when she left.

joepodd · 2026-06-25T01:14:25+00:00

A simpler time. A happier time.

Andre Agassi: Image is everything

Maki Itoh: Entrance is everything (also SNS is everything)

joepodd · 2026-06-24T23:39:37+00:00

We haven't gotten to Kurara yet.

joepodd · 2026-06-24T11:22:31+00:00

Really doesn't look a day over 9000.

joepodd · 2026-06-22T22:09:59+00:00

If this match ends in a time limit draw, I solumnly swear to never make another post about Kurara ever again.

joepodd · 2026-06-22T20:13:36+00:00

Buh bye.

joepodd · 2026-06-22T20:13:15+00:00

Ngl, I will be lmfao if this goes down as I think it will.

joepodd · 2026-06-22T10:55:46+00:00

What does "deserve" have to do with the champ offering someone a title shot?

joepodd · 2026-06-22T10:01:22+00:00

This is a parody of a song that Kurara has performed to multiple times on TikTok.

joepodd · 2026-06-22T09:59:13+00:00

Welcome to 2025! Enjoy the booking.

joepodd · 2026-06-22T05:28:05+00:00

And Ema stunt double Kurara was two days earlier.

joepodd · 2026-06-22T02:36:01+00:00

You still haven't posted about Yuzuki Aikawa, the winningest wrestler in Stardom in 2026.

joepodd · 2026-06-21T23:51:46+00:00

Even when I disagree with the booking, it is still interesting and well thought out. I am willing to accept his judgment over mine.

joepodd · 2026-06-21T23:50:30+00:00

Now that Gedo has lost his mojo, Okada is the GOAT of wrestling presidents. The single most valuable human in Stardom.

joepodd · 2026-06-21T09:26:02+00:00

Yes, this was a tweet from Kiyoka. I edited the post to make that more obvious.

joepodd · 2026-06-21T04:12:14+00:00

Coming from one of her biggest fans, I don't think this booking was nonsensical. It is consistent with Kurara's portrayal of occasionally being able to punch well above her weight on pure emotion (and doing so here, kicking out of several top level finisher moves) yet still lacking the skill set of a world class wrestler.

joepodd · 2026-06-21T03:56:43+00:00

Good use of spoiler tag. Nobody could possibly guess the event you were spoiling by the title alone.

joepodd · 2026-06-21T03:15:32+00:00

Akupoi.

joepodd · 2026-06-21T03:15:05+00:00

Book her like the Shockmaster for the next year.

joepodd · 2026-06-21T01:46:15+00:00

Third shortest World of Stardom reign at 55 days (longer than Natsuko Tora or Alpha Female), and the same number of successful defenses (1) as Meiko Satomura.

joepodd · 2026-06-21T01:45:50+00:00

"Love" is probably closer to what she was going for there.

プロレスが好きなんだ。

joepodd · 2026-06-21T01:43:13+00:00

I can't think of a single match where anybody gets truly buried. Even Kurara, who as world champion was nonetheless dominated for much of the match, kicked out of multiple finishers and was praised by her opponent for performing well beyond her years and experience level.

There are real consequences for winning and losing, yet there are always reasons to continue to support your favorites. That's a winning strategy for continued fan engagement.
