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 7/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

This episode of Friday night Smackdown was (not counting commercials) an hour and 26 minutes and it felt twice as long. Boy, what a boring show. The Return Of The Dirt Sheets. John Morrison and The Miz showed off their cinematic skills for a trailer they've made, a skill that they're still trying to be somewhat good at. Out came their Super showdown opponent in The New Day and they laughed at the notion of Miz and Morrison capturing the tag team titles from them. The Usos came out to tell the hosts of the dirt sheets that they'll put them in The Usos Penitentiary but Dolph Ziggler's music distracted The New Day which was an opportunity for Miz and Morrison to hit the tag champs from behind. The segment started off great but it had a lacklustre end to it. That Dirt Sheets intro narrated by Howard Finkel took me back though to a time that I didn't know what bills were (yes, I'm that young). Good times. The Usos vs Dolph Zigg...

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...

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...
