Despite all the stories, and questionable history.
Rossy Ogawa was going to be a star - In America - for much higher reasons.
But old habits, Showa - Starmaking Habits - die hard.
Many of you fans who dont understand how he came about? That he was 18 years old when he started taking the pictures of the Zenjo wrestlers.
It was those pictures of the gajin - the famous ones, that got these women to the Federation and other western wrestling territories.
It is the pictures. That made him a booker. That made him the queen maker of some of the greatest talent ever known.
That also made him the pervert. The teaser, the shower, Madam Woo Apologist - Kogal revisionist.
He has his hands in the land of yokai, connected to the myriad hell’s of Buddhist teaching. Only towards the human reality his other hand is - and very little of it is beautiful, the rest being a mirror of the yokai world.
Only two films show that connection - one animated - at the height of anime’s second golden age - another a film made in France, never shown in the US or Japan - both about the hubris of human desire, beyond the edge beyond the pale.
But there was a way, a better way.
Do I have to remind the audience that is reading this missive, that Vince McMahon almost bought Stardom. Rossy said no then. Rossy chose BushiRoad.
For growth. International Shows. Live and On TV.
The tragedies came. Stardom still soldiered on.
Then you know the rest.
Now, we got MariGold - the newer promotion - Rossy’s last shot.
But he is fibbing, through his teeth. Through his mouth. Rossy did poaching. Of AWG. He wanted more. He might get more.
13 is enough for now.
But I want you in the IWC to think, for the first time in this long existence through AOL and all the rest. Think.
Did you see how the mainstream media has treated TKO Group, Sporting Productions throughout the 40th Wrestlemania?
Kid gloves.
Awful Announcing - AWFUL ANNOUNCING carried the water for Sporting Productions. IGN did too. Richard Deitrich - respectable sports reporter of high levels, doing THE SPIN MOVE~ when it comes to Sporting Productions.
Everybody calling WCW 2000 over a tape that proved a john is a john.
And the usual subjects - the fan brands covering for Triple H and his new boys, the new day for Sporting Productions.
Watch what is going to happen - and has already has happened and might will happen - with Giulia and MariGold. All the new rules for the women of MariGold. That it is OK when they do it ,these Sporting Production’s fans would say. Not when AEW and BRUV and the Icky Ones do it.
I was there when the women of Stardom went to Philadelphia. I saw these women happy and thriving.
“Oh, they were trained to do that”
“Oh, its just standard business practice”
Really?
Folks in places that should be “great spaces to talk about this wrestling business” just dismiss my first wrestling experience live - seeing some of the most talented Athletes in the world, you heard me right The WORLD saying “this is the basic standard business practice?”
Some of you were never baptized in any sort of water, sand, oil any the fuck thing and it shows up in the most inopportune moments in ones life. Going 3000 miles to a city going through crisis after crisis and finding joy in that place is not fucking STANDARD BUSINESS PRACTICE. Who raise people who don’t know what human joy looks…
Oh wait, I have to temper my expectations - some times your host’s observations are right and dangerously so, many of these denizens of the internet were not raised right at all in real life or in the internet and it shows.
I think I have reached a certain level of maturity to know what is a tictok video and the actions from them, from actual joy of seeing an American city some for the FIRST TIME. But some people are just beyond jaded, some rightly, many wrongly about what they see.
And some of the observations about Rossy is thus:
Bushiroad under Harada had issues with the pandemic, which wasn’t fully solved by then. There was a lot Bushiroad could have done better - but those are the breaks.
Rossy got back wrestlers from the past and it seemed that as the pandemic era started to wane he fought for certain wrestlers. Biggest one was ChanYota of PPP Tokyo who had her best performance in the recent match that the New Blood Titles were defended.
They were both planning a big 2024 - things seemed be up.
However, certain people in Rossy’s circle started to talk against certain wrestlers. We know about the “tough love” Rossy gave. But it extended to certain questionable complaints about Dark Stardust Kid and Momo Watanabe that reached to the level of shaming of body type and “lack of will”
The Incident that I will not mention here about Dark Stardust Kid.
The amount of injuries and heavy duty scheduling that caused even more injuries.
The incident that caused a 2 1/2 hour delay - a huge, massive NO NO in Japanese Culture.
The PPV issues with PIA TV.
Lack of Updates with Stardom World.
This leads into Rossy leaving Stardom and Tony Khan’s response. Mr Khan’s response to the firing implied there was TKO Group Sporting Productions malfeasance for the reasons why Rossy was fired from Stardom/Bushiroad.
Mariah May have broken the back of Rossy and sent Rossy in a tail spin. But it was almost a done deal with AEW. Mariah May had issues with The Formerly Known Promotion as The Brand - Development Division - issues of sexual misconduct with the now fired Sid Scalia. There was also a issue with Megan Bayne - she was already on AEW contract. Both women and others around the Bushiroad had told Tony EVERYTHING.
Mr Khan has put things on the table, something that hasn’t been done in wrestling in a while. The best wrestlers, both signed, and guests - in a place called AEW. It’s that simple.
But for some people - is a threat. To Rossy - and his underlings, is a existential threat.
I get the concept and reality of what is going on Japan and with men there. Too much westernization. The Showa spirit is weakened. The women are not pure and joyful and have taken aspects of the worse parts of the west. Even young men are shamed into submission - and things are not playful, expository, galvanizing. Idol Culture brings joy, Idol Culture doesn’t talk back, Idol culture sings, Idol culture stays cure and pure in a unpure and dying world.
Marigold is a rebuild of those eras of hard work and great miracles - despite the nasty undersides and dramas abound, Marigold is purity that many outsiders will never get because they haven’t lived in Japan and in someways can never fully understand.
Rossy, fails in this one aspect - his Achilles heel, the height of his hubris.
He believes that Triple H is the guy.
He believes that Nick Khan can protect Giulia
He believes that Simon Inoki can push his new wrestlers between Marigold and Sporting Productions.
NXT Japan isn’t existing. But Under Marigold? Thats the trick.
And Rossy isn’t using is RETIREMENT MONEY. YOU KIDDING ME? YOU SEE THAT YEN CARRY TRADE MOTHERFUCKERS?
Why is it that Vince McMahon, slowly took funds out the TKO stock worth nearly a billion dollars? They haven’t frozen the funds. He isn’t going back to TKO. So how does he stay in the Wrestling Business?
And can we talk about visas, why, maybe possibly we have issues with wrestlers and immigration?
Who is the Ambassador to Japan from the United States?
You can support the wrestlers of Marigold and wish them the best.
But there are way too many pieces of this chessboard and Tony Khan knows that the other side is cheating and has 66 years, hours upon hours of video tape wrestling shows, the modern American mainstream media not connected to the news, and certain dirt-sheets and certain wrestlers all paid on the sly by the same company.
They have a fanbase that sees a woman they say how high is the price? Dommy Goth Mommy their biggest star at the moment. Crazy Clown Lady the next. “MagaHera: The Zeus Coded” trying to get back into the swing of things, where as even more women are shown in the new CW Meatmarket, ran by Perry Sook, somebody who has talent to run a network but never met a woman he couldn’t bamboozle.
But in Kentucky, on AEW Collision; AZM stunned the world, and stunned the crowd. 21 year old wonderclass. Put the World Woman’s Champion on her heels.
That is all one ask from a world that cant stand beauty unless its in a prostitution alleyway, beyond your beauty - what do you have?
Its fighting, for me. Its where trust can start. It should be sport for all when it comes to women. Women can hate men forever and a day and its within their right to do so. In the end of the day - what does one have outside of beauty? Let it be sport.
Some men cannot see it that way.
Rossy should have been the Akira Kurosawa of the storyline. High Praise.
But he wants to become the Lead Pimp of the new Madam Woo’s paradise - in which the men who cannot get that the fact that money doesn’t bring women to your hands, will have their final last, great high. Kogal stanning, Yokai infected and infecting festering life.
Until Prostitution dies as the damn dark and demonic franchise that it is, no women will ever be truly free.
We still have a long way to go.
Rossy Ogawa, the one time bright eyed, bushy tailed, Shohen, Showa hero - is no more.
