Rules: (Click to expand)
1. Be Civil.
Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.
2. Keep content related to wrestling.
Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.
3. Spoilers.
Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.
4. Vague/Editorialized Title.
Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.
5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.
Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.

Stardom's Saya Kamitani went on IG live and told a story which just happened a day or so ago, where she was at a fan signing event and a fan bought 10 photo's of her for her to autograph. He took his time getting them autographed while he spent the whole time calling her names, yelling at her and giving her shit. Saying "I came here to make you cry", telling her he bought the autograph time specifically to do so. All because she is the one who lost the faction match which led to Lady C, Hina, AZM and Miyu Amasaki being kicked out of Queen's Quest.
@GeekFTW WTF !!! ๐ฑ
A bunch of people (Lady C, Waka, even Pres. Okada & Asuka, etc) all commented on her twitter post about people being disgusting, Asuka said the same shit has happened to her too. Okada's sounds, if the translation is right, like they may try to take action or are doing an investigation or something to that effect.
Saya seems in better spirits today at least by her mood but yeah..fucking idiots.
@GeekFTW what disgusting people who do something like that !!!
i never personaly meet a wrestler or saw it live in person since i watch wrestling...
i would be so honored be able to meet some of the great Women i watch on TV / streaming ๐ค
*edit*
to add : i even would shed some happy tears when i could meet some who are special to me...and im an 43 year old male ๐
Given that I don't follow stardom, or know any of these people, I'm gonna need a bit of context here.
You're saying this Japanese female wrestler did something in storyline in stardom to turn heel, and this guy paid money to get autographs just to try to piss her off?
If I have the context right, then I don't feel bad for her. I feel like she should feel proud of herself. Thats called working the marks. Thats old school as FUCK!!! Thats like 80s old school.
Except it's not the 1980's any more, and anyone of average intelligence knows wrestling results/storylines are predetermined. By the booker.
Regardless of your garbage take of "she should be proud", a "fan" made the conscious decision to harass an entertainer for events that were, more than likely, not her decision. Which is not okay in any context.
It's like an actor who people yell shit at on the street. If you've ever seen Archer, people will drive by in cars and yell "DANGER ZONE!!!" at him passing by. Which doesn't sound like much, until you see what H Jon Benjamin looks like. If you aren't a fan of his, uou would not suxpect he's even a celebrity. And so people around him just hear someone yell "DANGER ZONE!!!" and start freaking out like it's a bomb threat.
Or like that other celebrity who had someone ask if his scene where they cut off his head was real. So he just said "yes".
It just means their performances were so gripping that people BELIEVED in it, despite being clearly a performance.
Like those people who wrote death threats on twitter to the writers of Orange is the new Black, when they killed Posey in season 4. They were citing BLM movements, and racism. Then the actress who played Posey had to respond to say she's not dead, just out of a job.
That's why I say this Stardom wrestler worked the marks. She got them to pay money, just to say some shit. After 3 minutes they're taken away, and she keeps their $20 or whatever. And she knows she "got 'em"
You do not, you have the context horribly, horribly wrong lmao.
She's a face, she did nothing to turn heel. Her face faction which she led was effectively disbanded (technically, reduced down to only herself being allowed to remain with everyone else forced to leave per the rules of the match) because her faction lost a faction v faction match against the big heel faction. And now the embarrassing Internet wrestling community has begun bullying her online and in real life because 'she let her faction down', which isn't acceptable and is pretty fucking embarrassing.
Ok......THAT is completely different than what I was defending. That's just saaaaaad. Not on her part. More like in a "ITS STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!!!" kind of way. Which was hilarious, because of how sad he is.
Same kind of people bullying her are the type who bullied Stardom's Hana Kimura into suicide a few years ago because of shit that happened on a reality show she was on (which she was told to do by the shows producers)
