A current All Elite Wrestling womens division star wants to compete inside the Tokyo Dome.
During her recent chat with Fightful’s Grapsody podcast, Willow Nightingale discussed her desire to work inside the 55,000 seat venue in Tokyo, Japan.
Featured below is an excerpt from the podcast where Nightingale shares her dream with the listeners:
I don’t think I’ve ever hidden the fact that wrestling in Japan was a goal of mine. Working the biggest venue there would obviously be on my list. I know STARDOM did a show in New York a couple of weeks ago, so you’re seeing more opportunity pop up in the US too to be wrestling over there and hopefully, more exchange happening everywhere. You never know where you can end up or what random one-off matches are happening nowadays. I never want to put myself in a box and limit what I am possibly able to do one day. When I started wrestling, the trainer asked everyone in the class, ‘What is your biggest goal in wrestling?’ The trainer was Blake Morris. He said, ‘My biggest goal was to main event WrestleMania.’ At that time, no women had main evented WrestleMania, let alone black women, but when he said it, I was like, ‘Damn, you’re right, I want to do that too. I want to main event WrestleMania.’ There were a few people who were like, ‘That’s crazy, why would you even say that?’ In the time I’ve been wrestling, it’s happened. Never limit what you think you can and can’t do in this business. Don’t put limitations on yourself. If other people put limitations on you, that’s on them. It’s up to you to say, ‘Nope, I can make it happen.'”
