RUMOUR: Asuka's English Is Causing Her Push?

Yes, people, this is an actual speculation. From Mike Johnston on the PWinsider elite audio show, he basically said that WWE doesn't have a storyline for her currently to which good old Dave Meltzer replied (Transcript via Ringside news):

“Oh there’s tons for her right now, he just doesn’t want to — she doesn’t speak good English, I mean say what you want but that’s the bottom line. If she spoke good English I think she would be getting more. He wants you to be able to cut promos.”

What do I think of this? Look, when you're a WWE performer or a professional wrestler for that matter, having good or decent promo skills is a must but Asuka is one of those wrestlers who can be great just by her demeanour alone and if Asuka or Andrade "Cien" Almas for example in NXT has taught me is that you don't really need to be fluent in English in order to grab the fan's attention.

What do you guys think about this? Sound off in the comments below and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE Smackdown 11/9/20 | A Coherent Review.

Smackdown is decent this week. But, I will say, they (Smackdown) have been by far the interesting show going into Clash Of Champions, unlike Monday Night RAW. pictures via WWE.com Roman Reigns' Wrecking Everyone Is Paul Heyman's Spoiler (no sh*t, Omar). Heyman started the show saying that Roman Reigns accomplished his goal to not only beat up people but as well as taking the championship that Reigns never lost. Heyman called out Jey Uso and Uso brought up the history between Jey's family and Paul Heyman. The history he was referring to was the fact that Paul Heyman managed The Usos' father, Rikishi back when Rikishi was part of the Head Skrinkers aka The Samoan Swat Team. King Corbin and Sheamus came out pretty much talking smack (see what just I did there?) about Jey Uso as number one contender. Uce then challenged the bad guys to a tag team match against himself and the big dog later in the night. T...

WWE Smackdown 20/5/22 | A Coherent Review.

Regarding the whole Naomi and Sasha Banks situation, WWE has (on top of saying that Banks and Naomi have disappointed the fans to which I say, "FACK OFF, WILL YA?!") relinquished the women's tag belts and they're going to have a tournament to which I say, "WHAT F**KING TEAMS!?" WWE has more women's tag teams than Arsenal has champions league titles. As far as how I feel about the show, it was really mediocre, to say the least. Roman Reigns Hypes Up The Usos In Purse Of The Tag Title Unification Match. I'm just going to describe the main event match since it was pretty darn short. The Usos did just defeat RKBRO to win the red belts which led to a beatdown from the Bloodline to RKBRO. While the 6 man match at Backlash was, dare I say, a match of the year candidate, this one was just too uneventful due to the sudden end of an okay match that could've been MUCH better. Shinsuke Nakamura vs Sami Zayn. I once remember that they had a match of th...

The 5 News Week Look-Back: Remember When Calvin Cambridge Wanted to WRESTLE!?

Another year, another look back at a year that started out like an anime filler arc and then suddenly, the month August came and we all know what happened from there. While yes, I didn't get to rebrand this weekly news series as "THE 5 NEWS WEEK: UNCORKED" or something which would've been a great thing if I pretended to have snitches throughout my "journalistic career". It was another year of dissecting the industry that gave you the Yeti, professional wrestling. Remember The Time Calvin Cambridge Wanted To WRESTLE!? Yes, he did and guess what, you literally forgot about that until I mentioned it, am I right? According to the man behind his yippy yo yippy yay, his aim is to focus on the wrestling business as a performer after his last album drops. WWE Hall Of Famer and a real somon**ga, Rikishi, mentioned in an interview with Chris Van Vliet that Shad Moss came over to his wrestling school to train. What makes the news particularly suspicious is that...
