Queen’s Quest (AZM, HZK & Momo Watanabe) vs. Miranda, Xia Brookside & Starlight Kid This was the best Stardom opener in recent memory. Again AZM & Starlight Kid stole the show with their awesome fast-paced offence and great chemistry. They are fast-becoming one of the highlights of every Stardom show. Everyone in this match looked […]

Hanan & Xia Brookside vs. Ruaka & Kaori Yoneyama A very standard opener with nothing really notable. Kaori Yoneyama pinned Hanan for the win. 1.75/5 Shiki Shibusawa & Starlight Kid vs. AZM & Momo Watanabe AZM & Starlight Kid were incredible in this. They had a fantastic exchange to start the match and were great […]

Hanan, Starlight Kid & Shiki Shibusawa vs. Hiromi Mimura, Konami & Ruaka A fun, high-energy opener. Konami hit a couple of great kicks and everyone else worked well. Starlight Kid pinned Ruaka for the win. 2.25/5 Jungle Kyona, Natsuko Tora & Kaori Yoneyama vs. Nicole Savoy, Miranda & Xia Brookside This was also fast-paced and […]

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 […]

Natsuko Tora, Starlight Kid & Ruaka vs. Mari Apache, AZM & Shiki Shibusawa If you have seen any of the 5 Star GP openers featuring these six then you’ll know what to expect. A lot of the same spots though it was performed at a good pace and pretty much everything looked smooth. Mari Apache […]

Konami vs. Jungle Kyona A great opener though very short. These two have great chemistry in the ring. The entire match was high-intensity back-and-forth with pretty much no rest. There was a nice German suplex by Konami before Jungle Kyona took over and hit the Hammer Throw Power Bomb for the win. Konami still has […]

Konami, AZM & Natsuko Tora vs. Mari Apache, Shiki Shibusawa & Hanan A good match and far less repeat spots than the previous show’s opener. Mari Apache hit an incredible clothesline on Konami. Hanan did not let her botch on a judo throw affect her and continued well which is a good sign for a […]

Viper, AZM & Natsuko Tora vs. Hiromi Mimura, Mari Apache & Shiki Shibusawa This opener was a little too long and if you have seen any of the openers over the last few weeks it was very similar to them. The quality was good enough though even if it did feel too familiar. Viper pinned […]

Kris Wolf vs. Hanan vs. Ruaka A really fun opener. There wasn’t too much in terms of actual wrestling but most of the comedy in the match worked thanks to Kris Wolf’s antics. Ruaka & Hanan did their parts too with no major mistakes. Kris Wolf pinned Hanan for the win. 2.5/5 HZK & AZM […]

Natsuko Tora vs. Shiki Shibusawa vs. Starlight Kid vs. Kris Wolf This went as expected. Good character work by Kris Wolf, some smooth but basic ringwork by Starlight Kid & Natsuko Tora and some slight signs of inexperience but glimpses of potential from Shiki Shibusawa. As a four-way this was a bit chaotic and messy […]

ShiKid (Shiki Shibusawa & Starlight Kid) vs. Konami & AZM This went as expected. Starlight Kid & AZM looked great and ready for bigger matches. Shiki Shibusawa is still very green but seems to be getting more confident. Konami was limited by her opposition but won with some big kicks to Shiki Shibusawa. A very […]

Viper & AZM vs. Mari Apache & Natsuko Tora vs ShiKid (Shiki Shibusawa & Starlight Kid) vs. Xia Brookside & Ruaka A very short opener but it was fun for what it was. Viper dominated pretty much the entire match except for when Mari Apache was in the ring. I would like to see these […]
