Miranda vs. Hanan vs. Ruaka Solid opener that maybe went a couple of minutes too long. Miranda looked fairly good and was able to show more of her personality. Hanan and Ruaka both continued their solid, but basic, work that they have been doing over the last few months. Ruaka pinned Hanan for the win. […]

Momo Watanabe vs. Shiki Shibusawa A fairly decent opener. Momo hit hard throughout and Shiki did fine. Momo Watanabe pinned Shiki Shibusawa. 2/5 Kay Lee Ray & Xia Brookside vs. Konami & Mari Apache Another decent match. Mari Apache and Kay Lee Ray had a couple of really nice exchanges and Xia and Konami both […]

Konami & Hiromi Mimura vs. Shiki Shibusawa & Mari Apache A much better opening match than the last show. Mari Apache & Konami stood out in particular with Konami using a wide variety of kicks and Mari Apache using most of her signature offence including a beautiful swanton. Konami submitted Shiki Shibusawa for the win. […]

Kaori Yoneyama & Shiki Shibusawa vs. Hiromi Mimura & Konami A pretty poor opener, especially considering that three of the four participants were vastly more experienced than the typical Stardom openers. There was nothing really notable at all in terms of offence and the whole match just felt a little messy. Hiromi Mimura pinned Shiki […]

Ruaka vs. Shiki Shibusawa vs. Hanan A fun but pretty basic opener for 2018. There were a couple of nicely worked comedy spots but nothing really notable from a wrestling technique standpoint. Shiki Shibusawa pinned Hanan for the win. 2/5 Kaori Yoneyama vs. Hiromi Mimura Another match that was largely comedy-based but this was very […]

Kaori Yoneyama & Ruaka vs. Hanan & Shiki Shibusawa A couple of sloppy moments in this but nothing too bad. The only real thing of note was that Shiki seems to be getting stronger as she had little trouble bodyslamming Kaori Yoneyama. Shiki Shibusawa pinned Ruaka for the win. 1.75/5 Rachael Ellering & Scarlett vs. […]

Konami vs. Shiki Shibusawa Shiki continues her recent improvement, looking comfortable in the ring for the vast majority of the match even with the much more varied offence that Konami brings compared to most of her other opponents. The match itself was nothing special, but it worked fine as opener. Konami submitted Shiki Shibusawa with […]

Note: There was only one Stardom match at this show. Oedo Tai (Kagetsu, Hana Kimura & Kris Wolf) vs. Queen’s Quest (Io Shirai, HZK & Momo Watanabe) It was nice to see Sardom get to perform in front of such a large crowd. The match was similar to many of the recent tag matches between […]

Starlight Kid & Natsuko Tora vs. Kaori Yoneyama & Ruaka This was very good quality for an opener. While you could argue that most of the participants in this match deserve to be much higher on the card it was still entertaining. Starlight Kid pinned Ruaka after a beautiful reverse frog splash. 2.25/5 Hanan vs. […]

Hiromi Mimura vs. Ruaka A pretty basic, but solid, opener. Having Hiromi added a little more character but the wrestling was still the same as most Stardom openers. Hiromi Mimura pinned Ruaka for the win. 2/5 Hanan vs. Konami Good match and a step up for Hanan. She received a lot of punishment throughout and […]
