Reika Saiki announces retirement from pro-wrestling and bodybuilding 😢

Here is the link to her announcement tweet (fully in Japanese): https://twitter.com/saikireika/status/1507658...

Here is a link that gives a brief translation of her message: https://www.postwrestling.com/2022/03/26/reik...

But to sum it up, she is retiring from pro-wrestling because of her jaw injury a couple years back and she is retiring from bodybuilding because she doesn’t want to be typecasted for her muscles.

Really gonna miss seeing her like this 😢but I hope that this transition will ultimately make her happy. 🌸

I gonna miss Reika a lot because her bodybuilding muscles is what got her noticed. Not much her wrestling career. She was in an episode of Kamen Rider Saber as a muscle fairy who helped the main character defeat the bad guy. Her transition to acting would be good for her. Hopefully she stars in movies and shows where she is a muscle villain or hero. We definitely would love to see that.

If she were to get into movies, I doubt she'd be a "muscle villain or hero" because, as she said, "she doesn’t want to be typecasted for her muscles."

I mean, her muscles is what brought her to the dance. 🤷
