Let's go Rateddc! Wishing you the best of luck! From our chats about STARDOM I just know this will be excellent!

When all hope was lost ... and the world needed a hero ... Lol best of luck! True, templates are your friend when making diaries, so best of luck!

Playing as RIPW, so received 7 graduates from a 95% Training, 75% Facilities, yet 2 of the graduates in 2021 have 0 Mic and 0 Charisma. I can't wrap my head around whether this means they are mute or just literally can't formulate a sentence? I may just be being stupid but any help would be appreciated

Yes! Yes! Yes! Chanting around my house lol, I have heard apparently some people are protective over companies, but i think the more the merrier! I'll be happy to help if you'd like with any questions, but really I'll just sit back and enjoy the diary! Best of luck!

Thanks Rateddc! I've split it down to the save file to be added to the RWC Jan 2022 update or created a database especially for this! Save file for Jan 2022 RWC https://www.mediafire.com/file/erbx5k03ogb8vww/TEW2020.mdb/file Save game turned to Database option called "STARDOMDIARY_Jan2024" https://www.mediafire.com/file/7fhspi79kdqgeph/TEW2020_Database.mdb/file If you want to send me a dm showing how your save is going, I'd love to here!

Cheers Rateddc, I really appreciate your support throughout! It was a fun ride but it felt like an end point im afraid. I'm hoping my next diary will grow my storyline writing and match summaries, as they are my weakest area! I can share the files! Although I will have to shockingly reveal that I added written contracts to all of my roster at the start (as in my last diary Tam & Mayu got taken away by Seadlinnng, so I had to rebook and edit a few things) then my only other confession is that there were quiet a few misclicks with my season 1 results vs what I put in the diary, as I was powering through the save, sometimes results slipped through the net: I could add it as the save file or stand alone database, but If anyone knows the best way to upload it somewhere, I can do that for sure!

Awesome! Best of luck! Feel free to drop any questions or message me! I'm happy to answer any questions, having been watching STARDOM since December 2019

Thanks LoNdOn! I definitely need to check in your diary, as I have flicked through, but should now have more time! Really appreciate it as I was desperate to see someone do a year plus STARDOM diary but eventually did the cheesy "fine I'll do it myself" aha, hoping someone can pivk up the mantle and put their own spin on it!

Thanks Dawn I'm so grateful too you! Yeah AZMs ladder match win I so want to happen, then KAIRI VS AZM = take my money! Gutted about Giulia as this was supposed to be her time, but as you mention Mayu has been a legend! Yeah hopefully it would have freshend up Koguma and STARS which was overdue! Woah way too kind aha thank you! I will have more time to check out other writers now, as I need to catch up with what you are up to with the fed! I have in the works a couple of ideas but probably untill at least christmas I'll need a rest aha! Thank you!

Almost Forgot to post lol after all this time! Thank you for tuning in! STARDOM Year End Climax 2023 Saturday Week 4 December 2023 Attendance: 31,028 People in Tokyo Pre-show Match: 10 Woman Battle Royal Koguma won a battle royal in 13:50. The other members of the 'final four' were Himeka, Mei Hoshizuki and MIRAI, with Mei Hoshizuki being the final elimination. Himeka got the most eliminations over the course of the match (59). Opening Match: Cosmic Angels – Delicious (Mina Shirakawa & Unagi Sayaka) vs Hira Sisters (Akane Hira & Chiyo Hira) Pre-Match Promos: Delicious: Delicious are ready for an especially delicious meal of STARDOM rookies, who they’re ready for a taste. Hira Sisters: Hira Sisters blow off stem by pumping each other up by reminding each other of why they are the superior sister. Match Overview: The Hira sisters fail Delicious’ test in terms of defeating them but do manage to win over some more fans with gutsy performance to hang on as long as they did. Cosmic Angels – Delicious [Mina Shirakawa (49) & Unagi Sayaka (47)] defeated Hira Sisters [Akane Hira (28) and Chiyo Hira (37)] in 5:36 when Mina Shirakawa submitted Akane Hira with a Romero Special (32). Angle: After their win Delicious head to the back, leaving the Hira Sisters to help each other heal there wounds. Out from the crowd we see the return of the two mysterious devil masked wrestlers they beat in the Goddesses Cup, return to start to beat them up. Hanan clutching her bandaged back rushes into the ring to try to break them up, pulling off both of their masks to reveal … Rina & Hina! Gleaming the two sisters leave a stunned Hanan to tend to the broken Hira Sisters, as Rina & Hina have now returned and are seemingly on the same page (29). Match 2: STARS (Saya Iida & Momo Kohgo) vs Oedo Tai (Natsuko Tora & Ruaka) Pre-Match Promos: STARS: STARS are confident so long as their secret technique is successful, showcasing them as the strongest peaches. Oedo Tai: Oedo Tai non pulsed stare into the camera before continuing their warm up on the way towards the curtain. Match Overview: Having seen the potential kryptonite of the Oedo Tai team, being aerial attacks from a high position, Momo Kohgo climbs to the top rope, then onto Saya Iida’s shoulders. Oedo Tai snuff out this attempted offence out by hurling both wrestlers into the ring, before latching on and choking out both STARS members, as they both pass out. Oedo Tai [Natsuko Tora (63) and Ruaka (45)] defeated STARS [Saya Iida (51) and Momo Kohgo (42)] in 7:14 when Ruaka & Natsuko Tora submitted Saya Iida & Momo Kohgo (56). Match 3: Saya Kamitani vs Momo Watanabe Pre-Match Promos: Saya Kamitani: Saya respects Momo enough to bring her A game tonight. Momo Watanabe: Momo is sick of QQ old and new members being promoted into the forefront, looking to remind people just how good she is. Match Overview: Saya and Momo put on a top performance, proving their talent for all to see. We see Momo turn down cheap shots throughout, which ultimately costs her but does hint at the potential redemption arc for the Oedo Tai peach. Saya Kamitani (67) defeated Momo Watanabe (70) in 14:53 by pinfall with a Star Crusher (65). Match 4: KAIRI & Brittany Bryant vs Syuri & Skye Blue Pre-Match Promos: KAIRI & Brittany Bryant: KAIRI explains in plain English that in order to win, they have to isolate their respective opponents and show their passion. Syuri & Skye Blue: Skye is excited to team with Syuri, who reservedly agrees but clearly doesn’t understand English and seems particularly distracted. Match Overview: Whilst the AEW talent were able to showcase their talent, KAIRI & Syuri’s exchange pleased the crowd, who loved seeing the David vs Golieth dynamic lead to some edge of your seat wrestling. Getting to see KAIRI’s Insane Elbow was another highlight for the fans, as her and Bryant pick up the win. KAIRI (83) and Brittany Bryant (35) defeated Syuri (79) and Skye Blue (43) in 11:57 when KAIRI pinned Skye Blue with an Insane Elbow (62). Match 5: Maika vs Suzu Suzuki Pre-Match Promos: Maika: Maika is fed up with the disrespect and overlooking of her talents, looking to use tonight as a springboard to championship gold once again. Suzu Suzuki: Suzu is out for revenge against a fellow hard hitter in Maika. Match Overview: The two powerhouses bouncing off each other after hitting the ropes, quickly ramps up into a match full of each other trying to one up each other. Some strong fighting spirit no selling both Suzuki’s diving suplex of a tangled in the ropes Maika, offset by Maika’s lariat being ineffective against two separate blows. Ultimately some sick blows to Suzu from Maika allowed the subsequent Michinoku Driver to down Suzu for three. Maika (64) defeated Suzu Suzuki (63) in 15:52 by pinfall with a Michinoku Driver II (65). Match 6: SWA Champion: Hazuki vs High Speed Champion: Natsupoi Pre-Match Promos: Hazuki: Hazuki is determined to show to everyone that she knows how to be a champion. Natsupoi: Natsupoi is excited at the prospect of being a double champion, as she looks to continue to showcase STARDOM to the world. Match Overview: The two fan favourites capitalized on the buzzing atmosphere, to whip the crowd up into a fever pitch, with two minutes of all out non stop action to kick this one off. The two posing with finger guns and pois respectively led to a huge wave of support. Around the 10 minute mark, Hazuki had Natsupoi in position for her signature facewash kicks, driving her wrestling boot into Poi’s face once, twice, three times, four, before running the ropes and intending to make the 5th and final blow even stronger. However, Natsupoi used her genius to move aside just enough to turn her hand into a poi sign, as Hazuki’s boot misses the mark slightly grazing her face. This allows Natsupoi to make her poi signature pose, flick Hazuki in the face, then dragon screw her leg in the ropes, to regain control. Hazuki was really off her game after her tag partner Koguma was strangely cold to her throughout the title match. A double down leaves Natsupoi to be started to be counted out by referee Daichi, Koguma slides in the ring to offer Hazuki her water bottle. Hazuki accepts but instead of helping, Koguma yells out and pours ¾ of the bottle onto Hazuki’s head! Manouvering to the back of her now former friend, Koguma puts Hazuki into a camel clutch but instead of bear ears, she forms and x with her two fingers, before slamming her head into the wet canvas. An oblivious Natsupoi crawls into the cover for the shocking one, two, three. Natsupoi (69) defeated Hazuki (57) in 13:59 by pinfall. Natsupoi makes defence number four of the SWA Undisputed World Women's title. Natsupoi wins the High Speed title (61). Angle: Natsupoi retrieves the two belts, before offering back the High Speed belt back to Hazuki, clearly not happy in winning the title this way, once the interference is explained to her. Hazuki, devastated as Koguma was the main inspiration for her return, throws the high speed belt to the ground, crying in frustration at what Koguma has done, leaves the ring, leaving Natsupoi to pick up the two titles as the new double champion (60). Match 7: Goddesses of STARDOM Title Match: Challenger: Oedo Tai (Starlight Kid & Saki Kashima) vs 26th Champion: Cosmic Angels (Tam Nakano & Maya Yukihi) (c) Pre-Match Promos: Oedo Tai: Saki is reminded of Starlight’s revised promise of returning Oedo Tai back to normal if they win here tonight. Cosmic Angels: Cosmic Angels are cool and collected in the face of their first defence, after watching the tournament last month closely to see if they can retain their titles. Match Overview: Whilst Starlight clearly turned up for this contest, the heart of Saki Kashima was a standout throughout, defying Cosmic Angels at every turn, giving her all for her friends Tora & Ruaka. Even when Yukihi locked a brutal looking Crossface from Yukihi was broken up, as Kashima scratched tooth and nail to paw her way towards the bottom rope in front of a nonplussed Natsuko Tora. Tam was on top form however, barking orders at her partner to ensure the champions retained their advantage throughout. After a third Tiger Suplex, Saki was unable to kick out, as her partner Starlight remained on the apron unchallenged, watching the Goddesses Titles slip through their fingers. Cosmic Angels [Tam Nakano (78) and Maya Yukihi (64)] defeated Oedo Tai [Starlight Kid (72) and Saki Kashima (62)] in 19:13 when Tam Nakano pinned Saki Kashima with a Tiger Suplex Hold. Tam Nakano and Maya Yukihi make defence number one of the Goddesses of Stardom titles (72). Semi Main: Wonder of STARDOM Title Match: Challenger: AZM vs 19th Champion Io Shirai (c) Pre-Match Promos: AZM: AZM has come so far for this opportunity that she refuses to give up now. Io Shirai: Io still needs persuading that AZM has reached the white belt level, as she has continue to set the standard throughout her career. Match Overview: Io rolls out of the ring to start this one, baiting AZM into making a high risk dive to the outside. AZM ponders before running back to hit the ropes, faking out a dive, before springing off the second rope, posing in the middle of the ring, with one knee bent on the canvas, with her head down and old school QQ hand pose outstretched. Every question Io asked, AZM was able to answer, both in terms of the technical wrestling but in the forearm exchange, with the crowd willing AZM on after some vicious blows from Io, as whilst they weren’t booing the champ, they wanted to show their belief that AZM could hold her own. AZM became the first STARDOM wrestler to kick out of the Moonsault, before locking in her La Mystica Fujiwara Armbar, screaming out desperately until the bell is rung and a new champion is crowned! AZM (72) defeated Io Shirai (76) in 24:08 by submission with a La Mystica Fujiwara Armbar. AZM wins the Wonder of Stardom title (80). Angle: AZM has won the white belt! Tears fall as the youngster rises to claim the prestigious belt. Io Shirai snatches the belt from her … in order to place the belt around AZM’s midsection, then fasten it at the back for her, before raising her hand tall. Io thanks her for the match before reminding her the hard work starts here, with challengers wanting to take her down. KAIRI rises up from the apron to be AZM’s first challenger, as tensions between the three ladies runs high (70). Main Event: World of STARDOM Title Match: Challenger: Giulia vs 17th Champion Mayu Iwatani (c) Pre-Match Promos: Giulia: Giulia brags about her 5STAR win, before predicting the rise of ALFA completing tonight. Mayu Iwatani: Mayu has worked hard this year to push STARDOM forward, she hopes to put smiles on everyone’s faces to finish this year. Match Overview: After elaborate entrances, this high stakes contest sees a Mayu offered test of strength declined by Giulia, who ruthlessly attacks the left leg of the champ, which she targets for the duration of the match. Mayu, being the ultimate underdog, plays her role to perfection, as she battles through the pain to survive before slowly turning the tide. Giulia was noticeably off her game, proven as she missed her chance at victory twice, failing to hook the leg after an early Giulia Driver, alongside running to the wrong corner after recovering from a double down late, allowing Mayu little spots of hope which built up during the match. As we reached the closing stretch of the match, Giulia took too long to gloat and taunt the crowd, rather than focussing on the champ, which proved to be her downfall, as Mayu took advantage to level the challenger, before heading up for her beautiful Moonsault, in order to make V5. Mayu Iwatani (84) defeated Giulia (66) in 26:51 by pinfall with a Moonsault. Mayu Iwatani makes defence number five of the World of Stardom title (79). Show Closing Angle: Giulia begrudgingly shakes Mayu’s hand, before rolling out of the ring to allow Mayu Iwatani to soak in the applause. Mayu touches on the Koguma betrayal and Hanan’s sisters returning as a sign that whilst STARDOM’s landscape will always twist and change, she hopes the fans support stays the same! (66). Show Grade: 79 Show Notes So there we have it! Had it not been for the low match performances from Giulia, she would have won the title here. As it was, the White belt match overshadowing the main event highlighted how Giulia just wasn’t at the right match level. AZM winning young wrestler of the year seems a fitting end to the diary too. Thank you all so much for commenting, predicting or just lurking in the back, it has been a fun diary far better than my first attempt. I hope to you’ll enjoy any future things I post on here and have a great day! =\\\"trebuchet>

Tune in 7pm BST tomorrow for the final show of this diary Thank you all for following this diary since February this year, its been emotional! STARDOM Year End Climax 2023 Saturday Week 4 December 2023 Main Event: Giulia vs Mayu Iwatani (c) Match Preview: Year-End Climax will be main evented with Giulia challenging World of STARDOM champion Mayu Iwatani. After winning the 5STAR Grand Prix this year, Giulia has been riding high since her betrayal of DDM. Whereas, Mayu has steadied the ship by continuing to be the standard bearer of STARDOM. The clash between these two influential talents will hopefully result in our best match yet. Semi Main: AZM vs Io Shirai (c) Match Preview: Io Shirai defends her Wonder of STARDOM title against her former protegee AZM. With AZM defeating Starlight Kid in a ladder match to earn the Title match, she will be keen to prove to the former QQ leader how much she has progressed. As although Io has made a name for her across the pond, AZM has been rapidly improving since 2018 when Io departed, ensuring an exciting title match at the final event of the year. Match 7: Oedo Tai (Starlight Kid & Saki Kashima) vs Cosmic Angels (Tam Nakano & Maya Yukihi) (c) Match Preview: Goddesses of STARDOM titles are on the line, as Cosmic Angels’ Tam Nakano & Maya Yukihi face off against Goddesses of STARDOM Cup winners Starlight Kid & Saki Kashima of Oedo Tai. Whilst Tam continues to try to show her grown up side to Maya (Only occasionally allowing the cute chaos to escape), the focus of the match will be on the relationship between Kid & Kashima. Although Oedo Tai have kicked into a new gear of dominance, Saki has not been happy about losing her friendship with Tora & Ruaka during shows, leading to Starlight promising to reset things to how they were if they can take the titles here tonight. With Starlight already moving the goalposts once on Saki, it will be a highly emotional, story driven battle and fallout… Match 6: Hazuki vs Natsupoi Match Preview: Hazuki & Natsupoi put both their High Speed and SWA Titles up for a winner take all singles match. Both fan favourites have had some stand out moments throughout the diary, alongside some serious popularity and skills progression. This alongside Natsupoi’s attempts to get under Hazuki’s skin by referencing their perceived differing of title holding standards should lead to an electric singles match. Match 5: Maika vs Suzu Suzuki Match Preview: Maika & Suzu Suzuki meet in a battle of the powerhouses, as both competitors have excelled this year but haven’t quite had the story to be featured in a more prominent role. If the diary was to continue for another year, they would surely have to build on their respective growths and feature more prominently. Match 4: KAIRI & Brittany Bryant vs Syuri & Skye Blue Match Preview: KAIRI & Syuri continue to elevate the younger talent in this tag team match, this time each taking an AEW excursionist under their wing in this match 4 contest. Whilst Brittany as a game generated wrestler has fallen behind Skye Blue in terms of match ratings, the former AEW Women’s champion will look to make her mark on this event, whilst Skye will look to continue to test herself. Match 3: Saya Kamitani vs Momo Watanabe Match Preview: Momo Watanabe takes on her former QQ stable mate Saya Kamitani, in what is another potential show stealer. Momo has fallen hard compared to her Red and White belt year beginning start, with Saya struggling to find many opportunities given the stacked roster. Match 2: STARS (Saya Iida & Momo Kohgo) vs Oedo Tai (Natsuko Tora & Ruaka) Match Preview: Natsuko Tora & Ruaka will be given the chance to fully demonstrate their new destructive personalities against the STARS duo of Saya Iida & Momo Kohgo, who will be hoping for a miracle. Opening Match: Cosmic Angels – Delicious (Mina Shirakawa & Unagi Sayaka) vs Hira Sisters (Akane Hira & Chiyo Hira) Match Preview: Injury prevents the Hira Sisters from competition for their first belt, but facing the alluring Mina & getting assessed by Unagi will provide just as challenging test! Pre-Show Match: 10 Woman Battle Royal Match Preview: Himeka & Koguma head up the field of outsiders, rookie hopefuls and Veteran legend Nanae Takahashi (Stepping in for the injured Hanan).

Show Grade: 70 Show Notes - Miyu Amasaki sustained a Sprained Ankle … out for 6 days … just my luck! - Giulia was really off her game, hence the extremely low rating, as the red belt match will main event, so I’m hoping for a strong rating to cap off the diary - From the first tour show rating of 54, the diary of to now pulling a 70 shows a really nice growth

STARDOM Goddesses Cup 2023 Saturday Week 4 November 2023 Oedo Tai: Starlight Kid and Saki Kashima Faction Review: Starlight Kid has reimagined the faction by weaving her dark aura to change Natsuko Tora & Ruaka into Cold Blooded bodyguards. Saki has been reluctant to support this new vision of the faction, with Starlight saying the only way to get Tora back is to win this tournament, with a lose potentially leading to Saki quitting the faction. Queen’s Quest: Saya Kamitani and Miyu Amasaki Faction Review: Saya & Miyu finally got on the same page, playing a crucial role in ensuring an AZM win to be the number 1 contender of the White belt. With Miyu finally embracing flight into her arsenal, the duo will look to take this tournament by storm. Cosmic Angels: Mina Shirakawa and Unagi Sayaka Faction Review: Delicious, the defending champions, will feel fortunate that Mei Hoshizuki was injured, so that they could reunite. After a tough year of frequent loses, winning this tournament for a second time in a row will place them into a head on collision with their seniors Tam Nakano & Maya Yuhiki, leading to an intriguing matchup. Vermillion World: Maika and Himeka Faction Review: Vermillion World are being represented by Maika and Himeka, in what could be their chance to earn their way into a prominent spot on the big season finale next month. Maika has been rapidly increasing her popularity and skill thanks to some particularly strong tournament performances, whereas Himeka is a long way off from her red belt challenges and so will certainly be entering this tournament with a chip on her shoulder. STARS: Hazuki and Koguma Faction Review: FWC have been growing apart this year, as Hazuki has excelled, compared to Koguma’s limited opportunities. With Koguma’s growing envy of Hazuki potentially overspilling at the ppv, the team may use this energy to blast past the opposition, or it could bounce back and blast in their faces, causing a split. ALFA: Suzu Suzuki and Thekla Faction Review: Suzu has entrusted Thekla to support her in regaining her Titles after losing the belts to current champions Cosmic Angels, alongside Giulia. Thekla has been looking for a way back into the spotlight, after falling short against Natsupoi & Mayu Iwatani. STARDOM Rookies Akane Hira and Chiyo Hira Faction Review: Akane & Chiyo are STARDOMs newest rookies, two newgens generated by the game, who’s backstory is they are both 22 years old sisters, looking to push each other to be as strong as possible STARDOM Goddesses Cup 2023 Quick Picks Quarter Finals 1.
