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 […]

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 […]

Hanan vs. Ruaka This is the same opening match for the third show in a row which is a little disappointing, though as they have been to three different audiences I guess it makes sense in Japan. Again, the work was very solid, but basic. Hanan pinned Ruaka for the win. 2/5 Sumire Natsu vs. […]

Hanan vs. Ruaka Another solid opening match from these two. Nothing particularly new but they worked smooth. Ruaka pinned Hanan after a fisherman’s suplex for the win. 2/5 Starlight Kid & Shiki Shibusawa vs. Scarlett & Chardonnay Starlight Kid continues to be incredibly impressive and Scarlett & Chardonnay both looked solid. Shiki continues to look […]

Ruaka vs. Hanan Great intensity from both girls but this was still a standard opener in terms of the wrestling. Ruaka pinned Hanan after a Fisherman’s Suplex. 2/5 Team Jungle (Jungle Kyona, Natsuko Tora & Kaori Yoneyama) vs. Starlight Kid, Konami & Shiki Shibusawa Fun match even if the quality wasn’t great in places. Shiki […]

Ruaka vs. Hina vs. Rina vs. Hanan It’s the first time in quite a while that Hina & Rina have been in the ring. Both did fine, especially considering their young age. The match was a very standard opener which nothing really noteworthy in terms of offence. As Hina and Rina tried to pin Hanan […]
