Really good in-ring with lots of potential, and worst of all only 22. Terrible week for wrestling with this, Larry Csonka and Shad.

It's all over my timeline at the moment but what really strikes home about the beautiful messages pouring in for her this morning is that this was a 22 year old, vibrant, social and talented girl that's gone and the people mourning her are in and around the same age, young adults. You see the names and you have a perception that these are superheroes, and what they do is incredible, but before the shows and after the shows, a lot of them are young adults and honestly wrestling fandom needs to take a look at itself for how it treats its heroes. Going to someone's profile and verbally abusing them online because you watch them for 20 minutes once every couple of weeks is not acceptable. Also the Terrace House stans are trash.

Debut in Wrestle-1, two time Artist of Stardom champion (one in a team with her mom Kyoko), leader of the Tokyo Cyber Squad, winner of the 2019 5STAR Grand Prix, part of that crazy 6-person tag against Suzuki, Kong & Satomura, plus performed at both MSG and the Tokyo Dome. Terrible loss!

RollieFingers wrote: » Yeh it was a reality show, the link was thrown up earlier. Like some Big Brother type show I guess, seems she got into an argument with a lad because he used the washing machine when her stuff was already in it (turns out apparently it was the custom made gear she had for WK14 so no wonder she wanted to look after it), they had words and she knocked his hat off his head is basically it. So insignificant it shouldn't have warranted any reaction but the rest unfortunately is history. I know online wrestling fans can get labelled as toxic, and no doubt rightfully so in some cases, but the messages she was getting over this was next level abuse, people gleefully wishing death on her etc.

Japanese government officials are calling for action against cyberbullying, amid a national outpouring of grief after the death of professional wrestler and reality television star Hana Kimura.

During a match (taped) with Kairi Sane recently, Kairi suffered what was described as a significant head injury, cutting her head outside the ring. Match had to be stopped, such was the blood loss, but once patched up, Kairi insisted on continuing

So it's carelessness on Nia's part, I get it's wrestling, accidents can and will happen, but when Nia's got form for these kind of incidents, she doesn't paint herself as someone you'd wanna be stuck with in a storyline/match, plus it's her 2nd incident with Kairi after the botched turnbuckle spot last month.
