Road Dogg lays on heavy praise to Asuka’s ability and star power.
While speaking on the latest episode of “Oh…You Didn’t Know,” Road Dogg talked about Asuka’s career in pro wrestling. Road Dogg would go on to call Asuka the Roman Reigns of women’s wrestling.
“I think as far as presentation, in ring skills, dare I say promo skills just because I love what she does and how she represents herself via her verbal skills. I just love it and I think everybody else does too. I think she should probably be the Roman Reigns of women’s wrestling right now. It’s just my opinion. I know the big argument is, well, she can’t cut a promo domestically. I think we’re past that as a culture, as a society.
I think it’s totally okay if she spoke in her native tongue and we subtitled it. I think it would be totally fine how we do it now where she just goes off and you don’t know what she’s saying but you know she’s saying something that ain’t nice to you. You know what I mean? I think her work and her grasp mentally of just putting together a match and keeping her character strong in the match yet being selfless and selling for everybody, is probably the best female wrestler in the world.
I know people will doubt that. I always say Zoey Stark is one of the best female wrestlers I’ve ever seen and I firmly believe that, but I believe it’s more from an athletic standpoint and her in-ring work supersedes who she is, and I think Asuka’s in-ring work matches who she is so it just makes her a magnanimous star. She’s incredible. Asuka is incredible.”
Road Dogg on Oh You Didn’t Know?
Asuka has been absent from WWE television for well over a month, as she had teased going back to her old gimmick that she had in Japan, where she was known as Kana. She even went to Japan for that objective. With the Royal Rumble coming up on January 28th, it’s easy to picture her return at the event.
