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 NXT 4/5/21 | A Coherent Review.

It looks like the Divas era is back based on the time these women get in a wrestling match on the main roster as well as Eva Marie's return (huh? Wrong show? Oh, thank God!). All lame jokes aside, this week's episode of NXT is apples to spaceships difference between this show and Monday Night BORE (I legit fell asleep while watching the show which is why I didn't post a RAW review yesterday). Last week's episode wasn't great so it's awesome to witness an improvement. Images via WWE.com Leon Ruff vs Isiah Swerve Scott In A Falls Count Anywhere Match. Leon took a nasty looking knee strike from Swerve Scott minutes into the match. Swerve Scott delivered his finisher using the barricade and it isn't a surprise when I tell you that it was executed perfectly. Thanks to the debuting AJ Francis, Isiah Swerve Scott nailed his finisher to pick up the victory. This opening encounter gave me Takeover vibes. In other words, the match was f**kin...

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...

WWE RAW 3/12/18 | My Coherent Review

It's December everyone and RAW is still awful. Now usually on my reviews, I tell you what's good, what's okay and what's bad. For the first time since I started reviewing Monday Night RAW back in June, I'm going to put every segment and every match on what's bad for obvious reasons. Here we go. WHAT'S BAD The opening match of the night The purpose of an opening match is to build excitement for the rest of the show but this did the opposite. I appreciate WWE for going straight to a match instead of a boring, generic and downright formulaic (in a bad way) opening segment but the execution was pretty bad. This was supposed to be a tag match between Ronda and Natalya vs Nia Jax and Tamina but instead, the Riott Squad came out and they put Natalya through a table on the outside. Sasha Banks and Bayley vs Mickie James and Alicia Fox What can I say? This was a skippable match. Mickie was going for her DDT finish but ins...
