Mayu Iwatani’s match with Toni Storm today was ended after two minutes when Mayu missed a dropkick and rolled to the outside in pain. She was stretchered out and went via ambulance to hospital. Unfortunately she has been diagnosed with a dislocated elbow and will be out of action for some months. 大阪大会ありがとうございました。皆様に御心配ご迷惑おかけしてしまい、申し訳ありませんでした。肘二本脱臼してしまいました。人生で一番痛かったです。でも元気です！試合出来そうなくらい元気。ただ、ベルトが無くなってしまい、欠場になり、悔しすぎます。早く治します！焦らずしっかり。待ってて pic.twitter.com/iCJA6kbZuu — […]

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 […]

Mari Apache, AZM & Natsuko Tora vs. Starlight Kid, Hanan & Shiki Shibusawa (Dark Match) This was so much fun and a pretty much perfect dark match to get the crowd excited. AZM & Kid started and looked so good working together. The match kept it’s quality pretty much all the way through. Kid reversed […]

AZM vs. Ruaka vs. Hanan The experience of AZM really helped this match compared to last week. Hanan got to show a lot more of her talent with some smooth throws. Ruaka showed her strength, catching AZM’s attempt at a crossbody (though she did drop her a few seconds later). Hanan won after foiling Ruaka’s […]

Ruaka vs. Hanan vs. Shiki Shibusawa Without one of the more experienced youngsters such as AZM & Starlight Kid this match suffered. It was a very standard Stardom opener with lots of basic strikes and holds and Ruaka rolled up Hanan after Hanan had dropkicked Shiki. Shiki looked like she didn’t know where to be […]

Starlight Kid vs. Hanan vs. Ruaka This was a good opener. It amazes me that 3 kids can have a match that is technically superior and better put together than some WWE womens matches. Hanan has a background in Judo and uses it well as she demonstrates some great takedowns. Starlight Kid impresses as usual […]
Starlight Kid & Shiki Shibusawa vs. Ruaka & Hanan Kid, Ruaka & Hanan all continue to impress. Hanan in particular has very quickly looked very smooth in the ring. Shibusawa looked very green but this is only her second match. The match itself was a very standard junior/rookies opener. Starlight Kid pinned Hanan for the […]
