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. 🤷

I thought she was gonna pull back a little, this woman has gotten rid of all of her muscle… you’d never know how big she was unless you saw these photos smh wild. 😞

I saw some recent pics of her. I mean, she is still very fit. It's not like she completely let herself go.

Some of these women cant resist the urge to change into their "old" selves. So they finally give in and want to be "normal" again. Hope she has more success in her new things and maybe one day she comes back, just hope she doesnt feel sorry for the decision she took. Is one of the worst things anyone can feel.
