WWE attempting to court Giulia

[Comrade Khan]

She's one of the best wrestlers in stardom and has a good look. Speaks no English

 

[Comrade Khan]

Very charismatic

 

[Cwalker]

Ah ok.

The no English thing may be concerning if she does come to wrestle in America but can be overcome. Hell, Nakamura’s promos are better in Japanese with the subtitles.

But if she’s as good as you guys say, then I can understand why everyone is after her.

 

[Chris]

I don't even think the in-ring as good as she is matters, she'll definitely have to tone down a lot of that style and might have a more generic WWE one but she can do that too. It's just the outright star presence, like I'd say Iyo has it too also despite not speaking the language much either but Giulia just comes off as a bigger deal to me simply from walking into a room

Dakota gonna be the mouthpiece for an all Japanese women’s stable

I don't believe the report of WWE wanting to work with Stardom I've heard that a 3 or 4 times especially when WWE wanted to buy them and Stardom was like hell no because they didn't like what WWE had planned for them. When it comes to Kairi and Giulia and her presence and aura I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that coming from her. I started watching Stardom in 2013 wow I just thought about a decade plus now and Kairi was the lady who I felt that Superstar coming from her from the jump. I feel Giulia has that presence and going to WWE would be a challenge she would love to take up but I bet she has on her mind well what happens if it doesn't work for me and I'm not loving where I am. Till I see her show up during a NXT Show I'll still go with the thought she is going to be with Stardom long term.

The thing with WWE/Stardom is weird. Who owns Stardom, and why do I think it's the same people as New Japan? Why would the owners work with WWE in one promotion and AEW in another. Also why would they be good with WWE working with All Japan too?

Finally Giulia can learn enough English to get by eventually. I think Triple H figured out how to work Shinsuke with these subtitled promos. He can do similar with Giulia, while also giving her a mouthpiece if needed.

 

[Chris]

Stardom is owned by Bushiroad, the parent company of NJPW yeah. I doubt that part really means anything, but also AEW has done nothing with Stardom (except for Megan Bayne being there now), their joshi talent has mostly come from TJPW so I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility. Also I'm sure Bushiroad in general would love good relationships with both but the company honestly baffles me a lot so Im not really comfortable making any predictions for them business wise.

As for the AJPW question, the big Japanese companies just recently united to form a conglomerate with special shows being booked featuring them. The politics don't seem that bad, I think the only issues would be if WWE or AEW specially have issues with them working with the competition, not the Japanese companies having issues

 

[Comrade Khan]

I also don't think WWE is actually working with the these companies beyond a one off here and there for special occasions or talent. less ice cold than before, but I don't see as open relationship as we see with aew or impact. perhaps I am wrong

Stardom may also be more open to working with other companies now that a lot of their issues have come to light and domestic only revenue isnt enough with dwindling crowds and a weak yen. the relunctance to work with other companies to focus on japan only may not be appropriate today

Tokyo Sports: “There are reports that WWE is interested in acquiring you. What do you think about that?”

Giulia: “I've become a big name. Ha ha! But I still have things to do in Japan.”

At the 1/4 show at Tokyo Dome City Hall, Giulia announced that Donna Del Mondo would be breaking up. The rest of the group, Maika, Mai Sakurai and Thekla came to the ring and they talked about every woman who had ever been part of the group that Giulia started in January 2020, which includes Natsupoi, Himeka, Syuri and Mirai. This was a decision made to get ahead of things as Bushiroad was told by Giulia that she won’t be signing a new contract when her deal is up in March so this was the reason. In March, she will take some time off wrestling to extensively study English so that isn’t perceived as a negative for her when she arrives in WWE. As noted, right now it won’t be straight to WWE but her plan right now would be later in 2024 and she may do some wrestling in Japan later in the year before eventually leaving.​

-WON​

 

[Kairi HoHo]

I will say this now if she's taking off time and focusing on learning English theirs a high possiblity she still stays with Stardom between now and March. Bushiroad/Stardom in those Months to come easily could raise the deal with her who knows.

 

[Dale]

Dave Meltzer says that Giulia is signing with WWE but is delaying things out of loyalty to Rossy Ogawa. She will help Rossy to get the new company going before heading to America.​

 

[Comrade Khan]

How curious that WWE is ok with that

 

[Kairi HoHo]

How curious that WWE is ok with that

They can't really do anything it's probably a verbal agreement but it's not on Paper she could legit stay in Japan for another 6 Months to a Year before wanting to truly leave.
