Ruaka & Leo Onozaki vs. Hanan & Nao Yamaguchi A very basic and short match. I thought Hanan’s and Ruaka’s forearms looked a lot better but other than that there was nothing noteworthy. Ruaka pinned Nao Yamaguchi after a Fisherman’s Suplex. 1.75/5 Konami vs. Xia Brookside This was Xia’s last match of her current tour […]

Hanan, Natsumi & Starlight Kid vs. Leo Onozaki, Nao Yamaguchi & Ruaka A fairly standard opener but featuring all of the rookies that debuted during March. It was pretty messy at times but there was nothing too bad. Starlight Kid pinned Nao Yamaguchi for the win. 1.75/5 Saki Kashima vs. Natsu Sumire vs. Shiki Shibusawa […]

Nao Yamaguchi & Ruaka vs. Leo Onozaki & Hanan This was very short but was fine. Both rookies did well again but there was nothing really of note in terms of offence. Ruaka pinned Leo Onozaki with a bridged fisherman’s suplex. 2/5 Queen’s Quest (HZK & AZM) vs. Kaori Yoneyama & Keneisha Moon vs. Xia […]

Momo Watanabe vs. Nao Yamaguchi This was quite a surprise. Whilst Nao still didn’t show much offence in this match, she did show a lot of character and strength as she took a lot of stiff punishment from Momo. Momo deserves a lot of credit for making the match compelling as she really delivered in […]

Nao Yamaguchi vs. Hiromi Mimura This was Nao’s second match and she didn’t really offer anything more than the first, with very little offence and nothing really of note. She did at least look very comfortable and nothing went wrong, it just wasn’t much of a match at all. Hiromi Mimura pinned Nao Yamaguchi after […]

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. […]

Natsuko Tora vs. Starlight Kid vs. AZM A fun opener from three of Stardom’s brightest stars of the future. It was fast-paced, well executed and only had a couple of minor mistakes. AZM pinned Starlight Kid for the win. 2.5/5 Shiki Shibusawa & Konami vs. Xia Brookside & Mandy Leon A very simple but okay […]

Starlight Kid & Shiki Shibusawa vs. Natsuko Tora & Konami Not a great opener but at least it gave some valuable ring time to the less experienced wrestlers. There was quite a lot of hesitation and small mistakes, though nothing too bad. Konami pinned Shiki Shibusawa for the win. 1.75/5 Kris Wolf & Tam Nakano […]

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 […]

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 […]
