$0.99
Io Shirai arrested at Narita Airport in 2012. How the frame-up nearly destroyed her before she became WWE’s IYO SKY. The untold story.
Description
In May 2012, IYO SKY, then performing as Io Shirai and known privately as Masami Odate, stepped off a plane at Tokyo’s Narita Airport with two framed paintings in her luggage. At just 22, she was already considered one of the most promising names in Japanese wrestling, rapidly gaining attention through her meteoric rise in Stardom. But what should have been an uneventful return home took an alarming turn when customs officials discovered contraband hidden inside her bags. Within hours, she and her then-boyfriend, veteran wrestler Kazushige Nosawa Rongai, were taken into custody, their names circulating through headlines before they could process what had just happened. For the young Shirai, whose career was just beginning to ascend, the arrest threatened to destroy everything before it had truly started. It would take more than legal vindication to clear their names.
