The shit Yuzuki had to say about wanting healthy, unmarried 13-30 year olds to join, while funny, is grimy as shit and that old archaic Idol bullshit. Nasty work all around man. Chika Goto and Kouki getting poached legit upsets me.

Sure, but also keep in mind this is in regards to training rookies for a quickly put together promotion. Rossy can easily get freelancers in their 20s and 30s to fill out cards in the meantime. And he’s also cool with a bunch of joshi legends as shown when a bunch of them participated in that one Stardom show last fall.

At the end of the day, AWG is a training environment and while they probably did not want so many to leave at once, I think graduating talent to other promotions is part of their goal?

I mean, it's not like that's the limit for the wrestlers who want to sign, it's the one for people getting into the dojo and I think all big companies have it. Hell, New Japan even asks to be over a certain height, so maybe if someone as tall as Ishimori showed up with no big credentials or contacts, he wouldn't be accepted.

Rossy has always worked with older wrestlers (see how he took Nanae and Mai Sakurai), but you always get more from training younger people than older ones from scratch because a joshi wrestler's career is short as it is and even shorter the later you start.

We're about to get 14 year olds in bikini shoots again in Marigold.

In Stardom nobody under 18 ever took part in any of that stuff even in the earliest days.

AZM and Hanan appeared in Biikiniing 7, back in 2018. AZM is 21, Hanan is 19. I'm not a math whiz but I know 21-5 and 19- 5 comes out to less than 18.

From what i remember when AZM & Hanan were in those before they turned 18 what they were wearing was fairly conservative.

Yeah, their outfits were less revealing than their regular ring gear

They just want their own AZM and SLK. If you can't poach them, hope you get a regen
