From the recent AEW closeup with Willow Nightingale, Willow talks about how she's in a rare league of womens wrestlers to have reigned as champions in America, Mexico and Japan.

Bull Nakano, Akira Hokuto and Ayako Hamada are the only other women to do this so obviously she joins an absolutely HUGE and iconic list of names for female wrestling, but to be the first american to do it aswell as being a black woman really does speak to just how fucking awesome Willow is, she's a fucking trailblazer for women across wrestling and I think thats really damn cool.

You really haven't had too many women like her in wrestling in north america until AEW came around, a bigger gal thats just allowed to be a positive babyface and not a stereotype, she's just a happy gal that's all smiles, great stuff.

You and Cassandro decided to stop by your parents house just for a visit and to look through childhood things; Cassandro became your best friend a year a go when y’all were wrestling on some old independent wrestling company. You guys still wrestle just not for that Independent company anymore, your parents loved your best friend ever since they met him. They thought he was a genuinely nice person, you both went inside greeting your parents saying hi then they let you go look around since you haven’t seen the house since before you left to become an independent wrestler.

You both went to the attic to look there first. You started with old picture books that your parents kept in a box with other photos that was not put into the books yet. You picked up the first book looking through the pictures stopping when he asked questions about them to know more about the story behind the pictures. You pointed to a picture “this is me and my older sister, in this photo this is when we went to a camp I forgot the name of and I miss her so much” “how come, where is she at?”

“She lives states away and I never get to see her unless it’s on social media or Hollidays, we used to have so much fun I miss her” you smile at the photo turning to the next page in the photo album. You looked through the rest of the photos then you took him downstairs to show him your old room. He loved how excited you were to show him everything and even loved the stories you told him because you missed everything in this room. You let him look around the room telling him stories about everything he saw.

After looking around you stayed there for dinner sitting at the table, you and him thanked your parents for having you over and for the food you guys are about to eat. Your mom looked at you “can you tell us how the both of you became best friends?” You smile as you start to tell the story “we met at in independent show in Colorado we were both scheduled to fight that night and before we left the building I stopped to talk to him because I liked his makeup look so I told him happily” you smile again.

You always loved telling that story because duh that’s how you met your best friend. You all talked while you had dinner and even though your older sister was not here you still had a fun time with your family and your best friend. “Thank you for having us mom and dad but we have to go we have a show scheduled in the morning” “thank you the food was amazing” you said as Cassandro added on the second sentence. You guys headed out after because the next show was in Mississippi and that is a long drive from here.

You guys arrive at the Mississippi arena walking inside together as always then splitting up to go to the locker rooms. You were talking to another friend that you met on the road as you did your makeup to match your ring gear colors. After you got ready you met up with Cass in the catering area like you usually did before every match, he looked over at you “should we eat?” “No, let’s wait until after the show to go get something to eat” “a diner” “you know it, that’s the only thing open late after we get done.”

You sat down by the tv that they kept backstage watching Cass fight Jeff Jerrett; his feud at the time. Later that night you will be wrestling Ayako Hamada; your feud at the time. You watched the control of the match go back and forth from him to Jeff; and so on. Cass lost the match but you could tell he was just happy to be there and wrestle, that’s what you always admired the most about him. “You did so great” you greeted him with a hug when he came backstage which made him smile everytime you did it.

He helped you prepare for your match and just giving you a pep talk to hype you up. The match went at a fast pace; you are a Lucha libre style wrestler and a high flyer which always made your matches a must see and can’t look away. Just like Cassandro’s match you did have your weak points then got back in control like you always did. You won the match which was a surprise to you since Ayako Hamada was always considered a tough person to beat. After your hand was raised you shook her hand to show respect.

After the show you and Cass headed out to get something to eat at the local diner in the city that you wrestled in. You and him sat down in a booth looking at the menus reading them to yourselves. “Cass?” “Yes Y/n?” “Where is the next show that we wrestle at?” “It’s in Missouri” “another almost 8 hour drive ughhh” you groan as he chuckles at you. “At least we have each other Y/n” “I mean you’re right” you answer him as he chuckles again. You guys stayed there eating until you got full then left after you paid.

You guys drive for around 2 hours then stopping when you see a field of grass to take a break, he parks the car in the grass then you both get out ti stretch you legs. You laid in the grass as he sat on the hood of the car, you look at the stars as he asked “you ever wish you could go back in time?” You thought about it before you responded “I mean yeah I’ve thought about it but I would just hang out with my sister again like we used to do before she moved away.”

“How about you?” You ask looking over at him. “Of course I do hun, I would love to go back in time I’m just getting older and older by the day” he chuckled. “You are not getting old, it’s just your imagination” you argued in a joking tone, he looked over at you “it’s been awhile since I first wrestled which is making me old love, but thanks though” you both shared a laugh. You guys stayed there for awhile talking before getting back on the road again because hey, Missouri isn’t getting closer just by you guys sitting there.

Shin Saburi and Mieko Takamine in Brothers and Sisters of the Toda Family (Yasujiro Ozu, 1941)

Cast: Mieko Takamine, Shin Saburi, Hideo Fujino, Ayako Katsuragi, Mitsuko Yoshikawa, Chishu Ryu, Masao Hayama, Tatsuo Saito, Kuniko Miyake, Michiko Kuwano. Screenplay: Tadao Ikeda, Yasujiro Ozu. Cinematography: Yuharu Atsuta. Art direction: Tatsuo Hamada. Film editing: Yoshiyasu Hamamura. Music: Senji Ito. 

Brothers and Sisters of the Toda Family is an insular work like the novels of Jane Austen, which were written during the upheavals in Europe during the Napoleonic wars. Austen created her own world of domestic conflict while ignoring the larger world's conflicts, alluding to them only with incidental characters like the soldiers who delight the younger Bennet girls in Pride and Prejudice or the naval officers who appear in Persuasion. Similarly, Ozu creates a little island of family in the midst of Tokyo, and does so in the fateful year of 1941, when Japan's imperial ambitions would finally bring the United States and its allies into global war. The film focuses on family tensions following the death of the patriarch, Shintaro (Hideo Fujino), which reveals his bankruptcy and forces his widow (Ayako Katsuragi) and unmarried daughter Setsuko (Mieko Takamine) to depend on the other family members. The difficulties of living with Setsuko's siblings and in-laws form the plot of the film, until finally the two women go to live in a rundown family property by the sea. Meanwhile, the unmarried brother, Shojiro (Shin Saburi), is off running a business in the city of Tianjin, in China. When he returns for the anniversary of his father's death, Shojiro, who has always been somewhat at odds with his siblings, excoriates them for their neglect of their mother and sister, and invites the two women to come with him to China. There's a brief comic episode in which Shijoro arranges a marriage for Setsuko and she does likewise for him -- though the film ends with Shojiro shyly avoiding an encounter with the bride-to-be. What makes the insularity of Ozu's film so poignant is that Tianjin had been acquired by Japan in the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937, and Japan ordered troops from Great Britain to leave in 1940 and followed with an expulsion of American Marines stationed there in November 1941, just weeks before the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was clearly not a peaceful place to do business, let alone to bring one's wife and mother to. Censorship would have forbidden Ozu from acknowledging any of this, but history has a way of imposing irony where none would have been intended.
