Thekla: Asuka Is Still Whooping Ass. Somebody Like That Never Retires

Thekla gives her take on Asuka.

There has been much speculation about the future of Asuka after she had what looked to be an emotional sendoff at WWE Backlash after a loss to IYO SKY. On WWE Raw, Asuka and IYO said goodbye and Asuka left the building.

Speaking to TMZ Inside The Ring, Thekla was asked if she had ever met Asuka.

“No, she is one of the few people….I’ve met IYO. I meet a lot of people. I don’t think I’ve ever met Asuka, which is a bummer. I think she’s really good. Especially growing up and starting out as a wrestler, I was like, ‘That chick is just fucking cool.’

“I don’t think she is (retiring). Somebody like her, she’s so fucking tough. She’s in her mid-40s and still whooping people’s asses. Somebody like that never retires,” she said.
