The 2018 MAE YOUNG CLASSIC Officially Adds Legendary Japanese Wrestler Meiko Satomura
There were rumors that she might be set to compete in the tournament, and WWE has now officially confirmed that Japanese legend Meiko Satomura will be a part of the second annual Mae Young Classic...
WWE has just announced that "head-kicking demigod of the Japanese wrestling scene" Meiko Satomura will be a part of the Mae Young Classic 2018.
Satomura is a 23-year veteran and one of the most well-respected wrestlers in the business, taking strong style, or "Joshi," to a whole new level with her devastating strikes.
A living legend in the Far East, Satomura began training for the ring in 1994 at age 14. She made her professional debut the following year and stands as one of the few active competitors whose origin dates to Japan’s thunderous women’s wrestling boom in the 1990s. Viewed as a top prospect from day one, Satomura even competed in WCW early in her career. Mentored by Chigusa Nagayo (one-half of the famous Crush Girls tag team), she also trained under catch-wrestling icon Billy Robinson.
Known for her debilitating Death Valley Bomb and explosive Scorpion Rising axe kick, Satomura is a master of Joshi Strong Style (the hard-hitting in-ring style associated with Japanese female wrestlers). As the founder of Sendai Girls Pro Wrestling, she has been a formidable advocate for women’s wrestling.
Satomura is a terrific addition to the tournament, but her involvement does raise one interesting question: Who on earth is she going to lay down for?
