Like with the Street Profits vs. Viking Raiders feud, her only involvement was to warn the Profits to stop goofing around and take the Raiders as a serious threat. Fast forward a couple of weeks and both teams are goofing off making everything she mentioned before meaningless. |

They’re doubling down on this “Greatest Wrestling Match Ever” tag for Orton/Edge at Backlash. You should see it on wwe.com.

I hope it lasts an hour and takes up 2/3 of the show

If you don’t think it’s the greatest wrestling match ever do you get your money back, got to be some false advertising there.
|
That's some weird/bad promotional philosophy. You never set something up like that. But also, what is the point of it? The idea of a match is to win in decisive fashion. Bullshit like "best bouts" and all that is contrary to the point of wrestling.
I'm thinking it doesn't even happen. Classic WWE. Either that or it's over in a couple of seconds. Maybe it spills into something else entirely? |

The Undertaker probably once ate a cucumber Paul Bearer had shoved up his ass or something.
Maybe he walked in on him pleasuring himself with a cucumber and realised that was the mystery flavour he had been tasting all along. |

That's quite true, and one of the biggest reasons I don't speak with her :)

Eh, its really just "whatever" at this point. I tried, really tried, to include her in the lives of her grandkids. She CBA to put down the bad habits. Been nearly 10 years now, so the emotional ties are gone.
Was awkward at my grandma's funeral in January being a pall bearer. My grandma was a fucking saint though, I'd carry her through Hellfire and Brimstone if I had to :D |
Now we're back to Paul Bearer and crack

See? it was related. Screw the squared circle, TPWW always goes full circle.

Fucking god damn it.
She's one of my favorites in Stardom. Been following her since her start in Wrestle-1 because she had so much potential. Between this and Arisa abrubtly retiring, I dunno if I can keep watching Stardom when it starts back up. One wonders if this would have happened if this COVID shit wasn't around. She would have been around friends and family a lot more if she was wrestling. |

Apparently Mayu Iwatani has similar mental issues and has cut herself in the past. Fuck's sake. |

Horrific and tragic.
Predictably, many of the scumbags tweeting at Hana to kill herself have gone back and deleted their tweets. |
Aside from the suicide, it does seem that there’s a recent trend of the Japanese women retiring very young. Arisa was only 24, Hazuki 22, Kagetsu 26. I know they all start training very young which unfortunately contributes to the injuries piling up very early on.
Meanwhile you’ve got Sumie Sakai still wrestling in the states at nearly 50. |
I mean sucks she killed herself but if i killed myself everytime i was called a slut,dyke,ugly or worthless i would have died a thousand deaths.
In short people need to stop giving words so much power especially when it's coming from a bunch Twitter nobodies. |
Cornette is probably jealous he couldn't cyberbully a woman to death.
|
A number of news sites including forbes are reporting wrestling fans drove her to this which is bullshit. It was the Terrace House fanbase which were the main contributors. She's pretty well loved in the wrestling fan community.

Do you believe "her mental state that drove her to this" would have even existed if said fans would never have said anything? Highly doubtful.

Apparently Hana might have been showing suicidal signs as early as around 3 weeks ago based on a cooking video Stardom posted on their Youtube channel where someone pointed out scars can be seen on her wrist at one point.

Quote:
She was a performer. It takes a certain kind of person to do that, and sometimes they put pressure on themselves or are dealing with some sort of depression from the start. |
Please ask yourself all the same questions and answer them please.
|
People don’t kill themselves because they want to die. They kill themselves when the pain caused by their mental illness outweighs their ability to cope with said pain. It’s a war of attrition that takes place over a long period of time. So it’s something she probably has been dealing with for a while now.
That said, I don’t think the role that people on social media played in her death should be downplayed. Especially considering she directly mentions it in her final farewell tweet. It’s one thing to fight severe depression. I couldn’t even imagine trying to fight it while hundreds of people are sending you death threats and telling you to kill yourself on a daily basis. |
The lack of understanding and empathy for someone suffering from severe mental illness taking their life is concerning.

In an industry founded on the bodies of lost souls, you would be more surprised if someone got over it... |
Based on early indications, Hana ended up killing herself via hydrogen sulfide.
Also her mother was the first to find her lying dead on the floor. Kairi Sane ended up being the first notable person to notice the disturbing tweet Hana had sent due to the timezones and contacted people from Stardom to rush to her aid. |
Kairi was also blaming herself for not noticing sooner. :(
Always hurts more than the person lost. Hope everyone is able to cope and move forward. |
I can't imagine finding your kid dead. A buddy of mine overdosed on Fentanyl and his mom found him dead in his apartment. Just the worst.

I've been saying the same thing. Whatever number RAW or SD eventually settles at, add about 200-300k to that when live crowds are back and that's the new normal. (My prediction for RAW is 1.5 and SD 1.8 during during 'rona) AEW and NXT might add 100k each is my guess. |
Even though AEW and NXT are suffering with the decline in DVR viewers, feel they still have a good chance to get back to pre-coronavirus levels when things return to normal after a while. Mainly due to the gap needing to be closed is a lot smaller than RAW and SD and both shows are still in the tv audience building stage.
All depends on how much longer these crowd-less shows last and people feeling comfortable enough to start regularly showing up in large enough numbers to make a real difference without also risking everything going right back to square one with the virus. |
So it looks like Hana's cause of death was Hydrogen Sulfide which I found strange, but apparently it is/was a popular method of suicide in Japan

Unlike AEW, seems its only going to be Performance Center talent used for crowds and they won't be shown on camera. |
Should still help the vibe of the show

Baron Corbin going to feud with Matt Riddle over having ugly feet probably

Quote:
Went from being a serious feud with the Raiders as this huge menacing threat and Profits needing to get their act together if they wanted to keep the belts into quickly becoming a feud that's been about both teams goofing off and playing sports games instead. Don't need Belair around for that nor her tough stance on the Profits goofing off habits. |
