Asuka Tells Story Of Media Company Pressuring Her To Allow Them Ringside Or They Would Bury Her Promotion
Asuka tells a story about a media company in Japan.
Before she was Asuka, she was Kana and was not only an in ring talent as the multi time WWE Women’s Champion also had her own promotion. In this promotion, Asuka faced off with some of the top names in Japan, including Minoru Suzuki.
On Monday night, Asuka took to social media and posted a story of a media company in Japan who tried to strong arm her into front row tickets to her events. She would claim this company would want access to the ringside area, something she would not budge on due to it obstructing the fans few of the action.
The company would then pressure her and try to bury her promotion, which Asuka claims she stood firm against despite the negative effects to her promotion.
One day I was threatened by a certain media company. I was the only person in Japan who could put on a big show on a regular basis. I had told them in advance that I would not allow the media to enter the ringside area because it would interfere with the fans’ view of the show. However, the media demanded that I open up the ringside area. I refused, preferring the fans. The media made it a company-wide issue! They said they would never cover you in the news again. I told them I would not give in to them because the fans are more important than the media. They formed a clique and got ahead of me, spreading my bad reputation. However, some of the media staff and others, out of a sense of guilt, told me what was going on behind the scenes. I developed a strategy to resist the control of the media.
