🤚" This is our first time meeting. We are not friends. Please. 🤚" the queen has spoken

[@matthewbush2371]

I am speechless 😮😮😮

[@wereshnefer]

This exchange MUST be recreated on television.

[@Sd12sx23]

Good on her. Finally saying what every guest on hey ew has a right to say.

[@XxAdamPyrexX]

Making sure RJ does not come out of pocket

[@moze-x]

Killer culture block

[@ValhallaRaven]

“Why you know? So scary..you’re a stalker”. The most accurate description of RJ City I’ve ever heard 😂

[@thereelpineapple]

When she said that, I was crying I was laughing so hard

[@Thumbperhand2]

Baby reindeer

[@JasonTopo]

Emi Sakura is a fucking legend. She has wrestled Manami Toyota and trained Hikaru Shida and Riho. We owe her so much.

[@VenVile]

The "I am a thick queen" part, took me out! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@Tranceplant82]

"Don't touch me." 😂😂😂😂

[@NickCorvello]

RJ City is spot on when he says Emi doesn't look like a woman who's wrestled 30 years, and says how good she looks now. She definitely is a cougar-type of hotness

[@JimmyMidnite]

And she’s as quick and nimble as someone 20 years younger lol

[@DomSum7]

Facts

[@CoolNFoolKlub]

Yes

[@RevanLockheart-]

Experience.

[@djdonald243]

In ten minutes they went through a whole relationship, with a tearful breakup at the end. I feel like I watched a movie.

[@nbbim2012]

Emi: Why are you laughing? RJ City: I don't hear any laughter

[@MAni04me]

😂 "I love you too........as a friend "

[@lemoncake6002]

RJ just got "Friend-zoned" by the Queen. Poor RJ. 😂😂

[@JohnathanNicol]

Look at the bright side, RJ finally made a friend!

[@MartyNozz]

She got her nose busted by Billie Starks in a Dark match and kept going like it was nothing. What an absolute legend.

[@AnarquiaCookbook]

Billie didn't do nearly the kind of shit that the Joshi in the 90s did to her lmao

[@mistamuthafuka]

Yeah, I think she got hurt during a match with WIllow and didn't stop that match either. Emi is tougher than I am.

[@MrOhydro]

1 OF MY FAVORITE WRESTLING MATCHES EVER ... SERIOUSLY...

[@masashiyeo]

That's nothing compared to what happened in the past

[@TrevorSteven]

Emi comes across as such a lovely person.

[@NickCorvello]

"wrestling dont need ring. Wrestling need people" This has been immensely proven not only with Chocopro but also the rising in popularity SGW Uganda

[@EmhyrAndarz]

man, it just shows the different views and mindset about wrestling.

[@123haninhk]

Also, Baka Gaijin & Friends

[@Slagomancer]

And DDT having many great shows that don't even take place in a wrestling ring

[@godspeedyoublacknerd]

"Mei Sugura... Tom's wife" goddammit RJ

[@Dadmcdadface]

RJ will be coming up in May 🤣

[@ShoggothsAway]

After your match make sure you come by for some moose soup.

[@robertlogan5354]

i almost went to look that up...

[@TorchMeetsWorld]

Just slipped it right in

[@masashiyeo]

Tom???

[@PACNYY]

Ema "Where's my tea cup?" RJ "I'm sorry I I didn't think that far ahead." 😂😂😂😂

[@matthewbush2371]

🤣🤣🤣

[@icetrae91]

"oh no, not today!" lmao

[@jackchong5324]

As a tea enthusiast, I'm appalled by RJ's lack of decorum.

[@eburb8147]

Emi is an absolute gem. Fantastic wrestler, fantastic trainer, and it would seem a fantastic person. AEW is lucky to have her. Also, no guest has ever deserved to give RJ a chop more than Emi.

[@kwyjibo_]

I love how RJ uses simple english, and still works out well. She deserves better than only putting young talents over

[@JohnnyV123]

I agree. She's really good and deserves to be a more credible threat

[@lordhong1093]

My favorite thing about Emi Sakura is when she was wrestling Riho, she would yell RIHOOOOOOOOOO!

[@joey_sum]

Like CM Punk, Emi Sakura confirmed as a fan of the Jim Cornette Experience and Drive-Thru.

[@JimmyMidnite]

Yep! And that’s a very common joshi thing to yell out your opponent’s name before obliterating them lol

[@chamae01]

Emi cult of Cornette confirmed

[@toxxict-rexx]

emi sakura is an international treasure

[@dbt-dt6zx]

"So scary, you stalker" 😆

[@ppizzola]

Love Emi and Chocopro! Also, it is a known fact that Japanese tables refuse to sell, unlike American ones!

[@shallendor]

Emi is so entertaining outside of the ring as she is inside the ring!

[@TheJasonaut]

Wow. I swear, when I think "This episode can't possibly work" it not only DOES work, it is awesome! Emi is amazing and RJ is so freaking good at this :)

[@StephanieLefebvre]

Gâteau = Cake in french. She was talking about staying active after eating cake, if not you feel sleepy after eating. Still doesn't make full of sens, but I saw what she tried to do there lol! 😅

[@practicalwerewolf]

Ofcourse Emi Sakura worked with Luna Vachon. Beautiful to see how Luna has truly laid the landscape for what woman's wrestling is today. RJ you are a treasure.

[@RedKingdom28]

He gave her poor flashbacks she’d forgotten in her career like the table not breaking 😂🤣 I’m gonna need Yuka or Riho as well on this show 😤

[@MGD313]

To be fair, RJ's go-to icebreaker for first time meetings is to ask whether or not you eat placenta.

[@ItsMe-fs4df]

Had to google (stalk) that 'Nyan Nyan Press', damn that's a hard table 😅 Emi is an absolute boss 👑

[@paulrobinson3213]

From 2009. I bet the Queen still feels that spot today. It looks nasty. Perfectly executed that 450. Man, I wish there was an AEW when she was younger. She would have been a sensation.

[@ItsMe-fs4df]

@@paulrobinson3213 Right? Nyan Nyan Press sounds so cutesy, but the skills to execute that? 🤯 And her English skills have improved out of sight. Legend.

[@laceyk1425]

Emi is my QUEEN. She is the reason I became a wrestling fan. I was so casual about it. But she…! She changed my life.

[@dragonberrymead9525]

"So scary. You're a stalker!" lol awesome! Love Emi Sakura

[@EmhyrAndarz]

“Wrestling doesn't need a ring Wrestling needs people” Brilliant mind All the respect in the world for Emi Sakura

[@mikes.7654]

Every wrestler needs to hear this, because there's a powerful lesson taught by Emi here that should be learned and studied by everyone in the business.

[@TopSuperKicker]

EMI FOR WEMBLEY 👑

[@waterfeature73]

And if she doesn’t? She gonna cry again

[@cesarcanete3402]

Emi Sakura is one of my favorites in AEW. I had no idea she was a major Queen fan. Her gimmick makes sense now. I never really thought of it whenever I'd watch her wrestle.

[@marktheshark7588]

And here I thought the Ospreay episode couldn't be topped.But this episode was amazing😂😂😂

[@TW2Vlog]

I already loved Emi Sakura. All this did was make me love her more.

[@EfrenBlackjack]

“DON’T TOUCH ME!!!”

[@johnhuston3576]

Emi is so underrated love her and this episode was great

[@rinzo2009]

Poor RJ. RJ "I love you". Emi Sama "I love you. As a friend". That was one KO blow if I have ever seen one. Trust me, I know. 😢😢

[@LT3]

The copyright cut 🤣

[@EAprima]

I was cracking up! lol.

[@rinzo2009]

And unfortunately for RJ, TK ain't around to cover for the legal fees. So Matthew and Nicolas will have to cut their losses.

[@LT3]

@@rinzo2009 That's a fine.

[@rinzo2009]

@@LT3 Why am I being fined? I'm not the one that made the copyright infringement.

[@LT3]

@@rinzo2009 You forgot to put some respect on the Executive Vice Presidents, you call them by their full god given Christian names, that's Matthew Ronjon Jackson and Nicholas Lee Jackson. You also showed up late to the episode, they frown on tardiness. They don't want to fine you, but they have to you know, best for business.

[@PaulitoTheAlien]

She’s a legend … love her

[@stevendalzell5547]

She's adorable. Love her.

[@suplexorcist3646]

Love Emi!! She's wonderful and a total bad ass in the ring. A living legend Loved this episode!, the meow meow press is my new favorite move name haha

[@brendan9541]

Emi Sakura is a legend.

[@thereelpineapple]

RJ got to have the 👸 sit on his lap, lucky bastard.

[@rinzo2009]

Yeah, but at what cost?

[@Sd12sx23]

I dont think he's one to appreciate it fully.

[@1axe2grynd]

Emi is such a great trainer and coach but even better as the straight man to one RJ City

[@kaedopack]

We need to see that meow meow press on RJ City from Emi Sakura on AEW or ROH please! Legendary queen Emi🔥🙌

[@SeaniOwl]

She is amazing and super underrated in America A lot of her AEW stuff has been so funny In a good way Like when she tripped the ref and Started rubbing his bald head

[@spunoffsee]

Emi is the best. Love seeing her no matter where she's at.

[@fourdoorsoup]

"May Sagura, Tom's wife" incredible joke

[@MarkChan]

I didn't get the reference. Could you or someone explain for the people not in the know?

[@jfide650]

@@MarkChanTom Segura, comedian, last names sound similar. Do you need more of an explanation?

[@PristineTX]

@@MarkChan Mei SURUGA is a young female wrestler that Emi Sakura trained. Mei is an absolute prodigy. Super cute and charismatic, but an absolute beast goblin in the ring. Everything you want in a joshi star. Mei Suruga has had a few appearances in AEW, and one of the announcers (Tazz, I think) had the nasty habit of mispronouncing her name, calling her “Mei SEGURA.” Tom Segura is a famous standup comedian in the US. So RJ is making fun of the announcer’s mispronunciation, by saying Mei is Tom’s wife.

[@MarkChan]

​@@PristineTX ​thank you so much for the thorough explanation! From a previous answer, I was thinking maybe RJ is butchering it, but now it's clear the joke is in reference to Taz's mispronunciations and it makes sense, lol.

[@kpoplover14305]

That's a prodigy of emi sakura SURUGA MEI aka mei saint michelle is a legend herself at the tender age of 24 or 25 rn And thank god it was a joke I thought did she really married someone named tom 😨 Anyways she's been wrestling her whole life and has appeared in stardom tjpw and aew aswell Love her ❤️

[@mikeyc.6022]

Emi is so elegant and funny lol😂

[@TheReverendBenjaminPowers]

This was perfect. No notes. Somehow, I love Emi even more now and I didn't think that could be a Thing. Well done, RJ. :)

[@Imru_gamer]

Wow, she trained so many superstars. Emi Sakura is such a legend and entertaining. We need more of her in AEW, but she needs a great winning streek and some championships.

[@jamesvanderbeek19]

Shes so pretty..

[@notoriousnerd]

Next guest : Mina Shirakawa

[@RedKingdom28]

😮‍💨

[@zoelotero]

That would be something, especially if Mariah makes an appearance 😂😂😂

[@BlackShogun1]

That woman has my heart... what a spirit !!!

[@chocobosage]

Emi is the absolute best, an absolute joy to see her wrestle live.

[@supergravy6104]

And RJ gets friend zoned. Seems like an appropriate ending.

[@nailsandny6894]

So funny! She’s a literal queen!!!

[@bubbafontleroy]

Emi freaking out about RJ knowing about the 450 nyan-nyan on the table that didnt break, is fucking adorably hilarious.

[@kevinramsey417]

I don't think there's a wrestling fan around that doesn't love Joshis. I know why Japanese tables don't break. It's because I AM THE TABLE.

[@saptamghosh]

Because the table is Logan Paul

[@Aliver.25_Legue]

Emi Sakura ❤️

[@dynad00d15]

Finally, my queen is in Hey! ew.. And she friendzoned RJ City! lol

SErious. Emi Sakura is one of the gems among many gems in Tony Khan's Infinity Gauntlet. I bet she makes the backroom run really well just like CDaniels and the rest.
