Her style is new but the face is the same as it was so long ago...
I was looking up stuff about the third guest, Rina Shingaki, who's going to be teaming with Mizuki in a tag match. I didn't see anything about them having previous history together or a specific reason for that team, but they are both listed as doing the Cutie Special, and that lead me to watching a bunch of Cutie Suzuki matches on youtube. This one is cool, it's only 11 minutes but they go hard from the jump

I have no idea what Aja Kong can do in the ring these days but in a tag with three young wrestlers she should be pretty well covered for. Connected to the last video by Dynamite Kansai I found this one:

It's got a few long stretches of submissions but I thought it was a pretty fun watch. Cool to see a women's hoss-off main eventing in front of a big crowd. What are some other good Kong matches to watch from her prime?

Aja's pretty limited. Last few matches I've seen of her, its mostly plunder and brawling. That said, its Aja loving Kong so you let her do whatever the gently caress she wants.

Aja's big matches still rule. Her match with Hikaru Shida was one of the best of last year and her match with Sareee looks to be one of the best of this year based on the highlights package.

Yeah. Only reason I posted it was her resignation was posted last night on the W-1 twitter, and Rossy teased in an interview a week or two ago that they would be signing a "popular name" to a contract at the end of March.

Notably Hana also set her twitter to private last night as well.

Tsukasa Fujimoto, ace of Ice Ribbon and protégé of Manami Toyota. She recently won the women's wrestler of the year prize at the Tokyo Sports Awards and at the ceremony was caught kissing Andreza Giant Panda by photographers from Tokyo Sports. TinTin is Andreza's wife out for revenge.

Andreza himself missed out on an opportunity to join a famous Japanese boy band because of the scandal.

Here is footage of the attack at the press conference from Samurai TV.

Wrestle-1's had a women's division for a while and it hasn't evolved at all from being Hana & Asuka vs. a random pairing of freelancers/AgZ talent with no stakes.

Alternatively Harold going to Stardom has led to Rossy getting Bushiroad money and the old perv is splashing the cash. Who knows?

I have altered my retirement plans. Pray I do not alter them any further.
My Japanese is almost non-existent, but Hana's tweets today seem to be suggesting that she wants to make the most of her time in Stardom, but that her future plans are to work more internationally (meaning WWE, probably). I'm guessing she sees Stardom as a better conduit for that seeing Kairi and Io get signed and Mayu now being the ROH champion.

PURE FUCKING AINOGEDDON
I dunno how much of that to read into it; if anything, it seems kind of like she's addressing other people's claims that she feels that way. Those three tweets are basically:

1. She didn't join Stardom because she wants to go abroad, but the fact that they have the most foreign guest wrestlers and foreign fans is a big part of what she likes about Stardom

2. In the past she was self-conscious about being half Japanese, but it gave her an awareness of a world outside her school, which gave her hope. She feels like she's finally become able to live in "now" instead of just looking forward to the future ahead of her

3. She wants to continue to grow her bonds to the world outside Japan, but she's most focused on "now," and doesn't consider Stardom just a temporary thing or a stepping stone to other countries

I feel like Mayu won the title so she could defend it in Japan to give it credibility. Now that she's done that, Kelly can win it back. Having Kelly lose 3 times in a row would be weird.
