hope even with separate streaming services they start live streaming under new ownership. glad they're not doing the "new japan women's division approach" at least.

I wouldn't be surprised if what eventually happens is that Rossy is sort of put in a ceremonial position that has no real responsibilities and they put others in charge - I don't think that they'll toss him to the curb unless something major happens though.


All I can think is that they want her win to be on a major stage - but in that case then why book that match at this time? Unless they think "she won the 5 Star GP!" is enough to elevate her so they can save the title change for later.

i don't get how they can really get a bigger stage than "korakuen hall after winning the 5 star"

kagetsu's retirement show aired and @b3rt4 helpfully put it up on his drive. it's a samurai tv show and not on stardom world or any other streaming service.

It's still not really sunk in for me, it doesn't matter how many times I read it. As the one person my friends know who is into wrestling, I've been asked questions about Hana all weekend and I always default into answering in the present tense and it's such a gut punch to have to correct myself. I don't think I've ever been this affected by the death of a famous person.

yes, this was absolutely devasting to begin with and having to go over it plus give a joshi/th/east asian idol culture 101 lecture to five different friends and family members asking me "hey do you know anything about the japanese girl who died" hasn't helped

I think it's part gimmick/part reality. Like the starting all her promos with "Good Evening!!" despite most Stardom shows happening at noon was a screw up that she turned into her thing.

lol i never got this until now and just thought that maybe that that the proper time range for "konbanwa" started considerably earlier than the english language equivalent, just like i've heard that "ohayou" ends earlier and isn't something you'd say to someone at like 10:30 AM.

if you can find it i highly recommend the recent seadlinnng korakuen. they're the one new promotion i got into this year and it's nice to follow a promotion with a small but talented core roster that works more with outsiders than stardom. as a bonus they run sporadically enough it's easy not to fall behind

even if they still wouldn't stream live i wish stardom would upload the complete show quick and add subs later. they might be my favorite promotion to follow rn if they didn't upload in such a frustrating manner and require me to mute all social media conversations about them. it's a lot more tolerable with regular tours vs a league

i assume stardom's show today was canceled as well? haven't seen an official statement one way or the other and i've been avoiding spoilers but since the english account hasn't even tweeted since the last cancellation seems like the case.

SEAdLINNNG are also involved in the big press conference. They're live streaming their fifth anniversary show on YouTube too.

Main event is Yoshiko & Hiroyo Matsumoto vs Best Friends (Arisa and Tsukka not Dustin and Greg)

unfortunately for me it's not an afternoon show and running directly against the kopw 1st round but presumably the stream will remain up.

Yoshiko calling out Mayu Iwatani in the article about her match with Sareee. I know they're both in Assemble but the possibility of Yoshiko directly working with Stardom again isn't something I expected to see

that would own but i'm not holding my breath. it was pointed out to me by a friend who covers stardom that her tiktok fame might be the sort of thing that would catch bushiroad's eye tho

Act Yasukawa is getting back in the ring sort of? Sword fighting with elements of pro wrestling which sounds like a Makai type thing to me?

so this is some sort of project between konami's old indie i've never heard of outside of her until now and actwres girlz?

Is anyone planning to buy the Stardom PPV tomorrow?

i attempted to purchase the original yokohama show that got postponed due to positive COVID tests. pia requires a japanese phone number and i couldn't get around it. honestly even if it was available i don't think i'd be able to do this one as it's not as compelling a card, it's running against kobe world,and most of the people i was planning on attempting to watch yokohama with via a rabbit.tv type deal have comparatively sane, normal, adult sleeping schedules (couldn't imagine personally). this one's at a comparatively less friendly start time

given the backwards momentum they've experienced this year due to a wide variety of factors ranging from unforseen to horrific this seems kinda insane. apparently they did better at yokohama than i thought tho which is good at least
