Whatever she does, if she comes to the States, Ai shouldn't go to WWE because Vince would bury her. TNA, on the other hand, could use more Knockouts, and I hear they're working on an agreement with Muta's Wrestle-1 promotion.

In Japan, Everyone can be in pro wrestling and in Soviet Russia LIFE is wrestling.

Will Ai-san wrestling career affect her seiyuu, believe she has lesser roles from now on and focus more on her wrestling career.

She already receded into the lesser roles thing, she's primarily been a visual novel/game voice actress for years now, far from her anime peak back in the early-mid ninties.

You might be thinking of the wrong person. Shimizu Ai hadn't debuted yet in the 90s. Her first listed role on ANN is 2001.

Oops! Meant to say 2000's.

Next year could be a igniting year again for Shimizu-san both as a seiyuu and a wrestler.

Plus I heard the revenue in Japanese wrestling is among highest paying work out there right now.

I saw "Comedian" and "Pro Wrestling Debut" and immediately assumed it was someone doing a riff on Andy Kaufman.

Not as prolific as other VAs, but she was in High School DxD New recently, and is a main character in Walkure Romanze (though I presume from the eroge) so she's still able to land anime gigs. I didn't even know she voiced Ellis in El Cazador. I'm also sure any continuation of the Mahou Shoujo Nanoha franchise and the Mai Otome franchise will still have her in it.
