We are going to miss Yuzuki Aikawa after 4/29
All Photos by Resuner Yokoyama
Stardom's chief draw, Yuzuki Aikawa, who has delivered one of the most successful model-become-wrestler career moves ever made, will call it quits on April 29 after Stardom's big Sumo Hall show. She is sighting injuries among other things in her rationale for quitting the Stardom ring. She will be missed. Female fans admired her; male fans fantasized about her; and in the end she put an awful lot of butts in the Stardom seats over the past two years. Enjoy these photos from the January 19 Stardom event.
