My Take
I'll be honest, the first time I clocked Mayu Iwatani I figured this slight, soft-spoken kid from Yamaguchi would get folded in half the moment the bell rang. Then she went airborne and I had to eat every word. What gets me is the contradiction she lives in: gentle, almost shy out of the ring, then absolutely fearless once she's launching herself off the top rope and bouncing back up from spots that should keep a person down. She's spent years carrying the banner for joshi wrestling, and that quiet stubborn spine of hers is the whole reason it works. I love performers who run that hot underneath a calm surface, and she's one of them. Born in '93 and still flying, she feels like someone with plenty of altitude left in the tank, and I'm cheering.
