1. All the more proof why putting the belt on her was the right, only decision. She’s out there advertising NJPW at a major mainstream Disney event. None of their talent get this kind of publicity.

2. This is what NWA thought they were doing with Tyrus

3. It is for sure nice and good she had the belt on/with her!

4. Who’s the bowlcut?

5. Something tells me she isnt advertising NJPW as much as shes trying to get noticed for a role

6. Damn one match and Mercedes gave more visibility to NJPW than any other gaijin in company history

7. In her best Arnold Schwarzenegger Conan gear

8. Keep in mind that everyone who sees this belt and has no idea what it is, and is maybe even the slightest bit curious, still has to do some digging to associate the letters IWGP with NJPW. The company’s name or logo isn’t on the belt, so Mercedes showing it off in front of uneducable people might garner some interest from non fans, but there isn’t an immediate brand recognition aspect to this appearance because unless you’re familiar with wrestling, you won’t know that IWGP isn’t the company’s name, just the fictional union who oversees the belts for the actual company, NJPW.

9. I don’t understand her pants

10. Pretty awesome she was confident enough that “Wrestling” wouldn’t hurt her reputation to Hollywood that she brought the title with her. Also lol at Rosario Dawson fangirling over it

11. Didn’t she say she wasn’t in season 3 why is she there
