Willow Nightingale SHOOTS SOFTLY On Emi Sakura, Maki Itoh, Hyan

Willow Nightingale is one of the nicest wrestlers in the business. 

So saying nice things about her fellow competitors was probably one of the easiest things she’s ever done in wrestling. 

This is SHOOTING SOFTLY. 

Emi Sakura

The first time Emi ever came up and spoke to me, after one of my dark matches, I was marking out personally. She was like, ‘I run this company ChocoPro,’ ‘I know about ChocoPro.’ She had the most lovely things to say about me. She is someone who has so much experience. She doesn’t ever look down on people learning. She is helpful backstage. She does all she can to make that connection because the AEW product and the Japanese fanbase as possible. What a sweetheart. 

Maki Itoh

She’s great. When I went over to Tokyo Joshi Pro, I had gone to Disney with her and she went around the theme park in these four-inch platform boots the entire time. I could not believe it. The amount of strength, balance, and stability that takes. Hats off to her. A ball of delight and entertainment factory she is.

LuFisto

Another one who is an idol and role model to me. I love and is never short on sharing experience with the up and coming girls. I remember the first time I met her, I was so intimidated and did not want to go over and approach her. Then I saw her talking to other girls backstage and having a great time and it made me feel more comfortable. Much love to the legend LuFisto. 

Hyan

She is somebody who I think is an incredible worker and I think she has traveled the world and taken in each of those experiences and gotten better from them. It’s just a matter of time before her time comes.
