5 Star GP Brackets Reveal + Rules The two blocks have been revealed above, as 16 wrestlers compete across 2 round robin group stages, with the winners of each block facing off to decide who wins the 5 Star Grand Prix! A 15 minute time limit will be applied to every match except the final. Winning a match gains two points for the wrestler, a draw means 1 point each and losing gets 0 points. A new addition last year that will continue will be a faction league. Similar to Formula 1, wrestlers in each faction have their points added up and averaged due to 6 factions being involved, to ensure that more matches mean more throughout the tournament. The winning faction will pick a belt to challenge for at the PPV, going down until 4th place, as the faction who finishes last or second last doesn’t win anything. Any questions or earlier winner predictions, feel free to chuck them below as its always fun to see your feedback!

Ohh I missed this, I'll have to add it to the list to get back to once I've finished this diary! Cheers for the recommendation!

Thanks everyone for the predictions, it means a lot to me that people are still taking a look at this! Entering the final stretch now, with the 5 STAR GP Tournament up next, means a very busy week of uploads! STARDOM Autumn Flame in Osaka 2022 Saturday Week 4 Autumn 2023 Attendance: 26,000 People in Osaka Pre-show Match: ALFA (Mai Sakurai & MIRAI) vs Skye Blue & Brittany Bryant ALFA [MIRAI (48) and Mai Sakurai (37)] defeated Brittany Bryant (31) and Skye Blue (42) in 9:41 when MIRAI pinned Brittany Bryant with a Lariat (44). Opening Match: Loser Leaves STARDOM – Tam Nakano vs Waka Tsukiyama Pre-Match Promos: Tam Nakano: Tam has said enough, promising to give her all in this contest. Waka Tsukiyama: Waka is emotionally crying out that this can’t be the end of the road for her STARDOM Dream, she’ll do anything to stay with the company. Match Overview: Waka’s opening offer of a handshake is approached cautiously by Tam, who fakes, winding up for a slap! Waka also winds up for a slap, leaving both opponents at a standoff to begin the high stakes contest. Tam was noticeably really off her game, as despite all of the disrespect throughout the past couple of months, seeing Waka finally give her all was emotional for the Cosmic Angels leader. With the fans desperately wanting to see more, biting on every near fall, the three spin kicks that Waka kept getting back up and crying out for more, ultimately lead to the final three slaps of the mat Waka would ever here in a STARDOM ring. As the referee calls for the bell, in turn, calling time on Waka’s STARDOM career. Tam Nakano (61) defeated Waka Tsukiyama (32) in 13:53 by pinfall with a Spin Kick (49). Angle: Tam rises from her ice packs to stare her down. She goes for the handshake, fakes into a slap, fakes into a head pat, before finally clasping her hand in a fist, turning and walking away from Tsukiyama. Waka says goodbye to the fans in a teary final address, with Unagi & Mina coming out in their ring gear to hug and say their farewells. (44). Match 2: Cosmic Angels - Delicious (Unagi Sayaka & Mina Shirakawa) vs Oedo Tai (Starlight Kid & Saki Kashima) Pre-Match Promos: Cosmic Angels: Cosmic Angels promo is skipped due to them checking on Waka Oedo Tai: Saki is reluctant to trust Starlight, but is willing to go along with her schemes if it means Tora will be safe and Ruaka will be cured as soon as possible… Match Overview: Clearly emotional from the previous result, Delicious came out swinging with some wild offence. This allowed Oedo Tai avoid the majority of the incoming offence, shifting it into being the driving force of punishment against Cosmic Angels, ultimately allowing Starlight to pick up the win. Oedo Tai [Starlight Kid (59) and Saki Kashima (57)] defeated Cosmic Angels - Delicious [Unagi Sayaka (46) and Mina Shirakawa (48)] in 13:29 when Starlight Kid pinned Mina Shirakawa with a Black Tiger Driver (58). Match 3: Queen’s Quest (KAIRI, Saya Kamitani & Miyu Amasaki) vs ALFA (Giulia, Suzu Suzuki & Thekla) Pre-Match Promos: Queen’s Quest: As KAIRI hypes her partners up, Miyu is still very reluctant to go along with Saya’s plans to perform elaborate high flying moves ALFA: ALFA trust in Thekla to step up and lead this time, as Giulia & Suzu promise to continue to raise the level of the whole faction unitedly. Match Overview: In a brilliant match up, the crowd were truly invested in this trios match, as STARDOM always excel at the multi-man matchups! The most surprising moment of the match came as Future of STARDOM champion Miyu Amasaki ran rings around a visibly off Suzu Suzuki and almost scored the three count! Queen’s Quest however did come short as an aggressive Giulia & Thekla managed to pick up the slack and ultimately overpower their opponents. ALFA [Giulia (66), Suzu Suzuki (59) and Thekla (53)] defeated Queen's Quest [KAIRI (82), Saya Kamitani (66) and Miyu Amasaki (43)] in 16:52 when Giulia pinned Miyu Amasaki with a Glorious Bomb (65). Match 4: STARS (Mayu Iwatani, Momo Kohgo, Koguma, Saya Iida & Hanan) vs Vermillion World (Syuri, Natsupoi, Maika, Himeka & Yui Inihara) Pre-Match Promos: STARS: Mayu allows the others to chip in their rallies of support for each other, before leading her faction through to the entrance way. Vermillion World: Vermillion World are confident with Yui having integrated herself more and the titles across the other members of the faction. Match Overview: In this elimination style 5v5 the opening portion of the match allowed Mayu Iwatani to shine and look excellent, as the leader of STARS captained the faction into a 4v2 lead! Vermillion Worlds rally came as Maika & Natsupoi combined to level the playing field and in fact bring it back to a 1v1 with Koguma & Natsupoi having a mini match to end this contest. With Koguma having minimal involvement, she arguably should have had the advantage! Unfortunately Natsupoi has been in red hot form and clearly wanted the victory more, as the obvious to the fans in attendance, as the final 3 count unsurprisingly granted Natsupoi & in turn Vermillion World the win. Vermillion World [Maika (64), Syuri (79), Himeka (63), Natsupoi (71) and Yui Inihara (26)] defeated STARS [Mayu Iwatani (83), Koguma (56), Momo Kohgo (40), Saya Iida (52) and Hanan (41)] in 17:41 when Natsupoi pinned Koguma with a Fairy Blink (65). Match 5: Cosmic Angels (Mei Hoshizuki & Maya Yukihi) vs Oedo Tai (Natsuko Tora & Ruaka) Pre-Match Promos: Cosmic Angels: Yukihi is asked if she is relieved that Tam has survived her loser leave STARDOM match. A pensive hesitation is followed by a reluctant agreement, before Mei is reminded to focus on the dangerous opposition in front of them. Oedo Tai: Tora is worried about Ruaka who doesn’t join her for the prematch promo. She’ll win this match then try to shake some sense into the youngster, if that fails, Starlight Kid better watch out… Match Overview: Tora started off against Maya to kick this one off and struggled to gain the upper hand. The momentum truly shifted when their partners entered the fray, as Ruaka Systematically picked the two Cosmic Angels apart. With Starlight watching in, it was clear that Yukihi had superior technique and Mei had superior speed to Tora, who massively struggled in this one! Fortunately, Ruaka emotionlessly caught Mei with a huge lariot, taking control of the match until she hit her finisher, securing Oedo Tai the win. Oedo Tai [Natsuko Tora (54) and Ruaka (42)] defeated Cosmic Angels [Maya Yukihi (66) and Mei Hoshizuki (50)] in 15:37 when Ruaka pinned Mei Hoshizuki with a Freezer Bomb (63). Angle: Starlight enters the ring and looks like she is about to start another ritual, this time on Natsuko Tora. However, Tora’s lunge off the canvas towards the Leader of Oedo Tai, is avoided, leading Starlight to step aside and force a mask onto a struggling Tora, who eventually passes out. Lights off, lights on & Oedo Tai have disappeared. Tora has seemingly been dragged down into Starlight Kid’s darkness (51). Semi Main: High Speed Title Challenger AZM vs 23rd Champion Hazuki (c) Pre-Match Promos: AZM: AZM rocks a blonde Hazuki style haircut, as she looks to prove how much stronger she is then when Hazuki was her age carrying the high speed belt for the first time Hazuki: Hazuki’s first challenger is the strongest, as she truly believes that without her there is no AZM. Match Overview: An explosive start to this one as Hazuki jumps AZM before the bell, ensuring the usual “High Speed Bomb” of QQ is on the backfoot to start this match! AZM worked her way into the match after leveraging Hazuki’s facewash kick by tying her up in the ropes, before planting Hazuki head first into the canvas whilst her body was draped over the middle rope, to a sickening thud and a close two count. As we approached the finish the Crowd were noticeably Buzzing with excitement at this none stop action, with Hazuki ending a string of reversals with a huge Michinoku driver & then Diving Senton on the ring apron, rolling the challenger in, then crawling over to secure the three count. Hazuki (70) defeated AZM (64) in 12:12 by pinfall with a Diving Senton. Hazuki makes defence number one of the High Speed title (69). Main Event: Wonder of STARDOM Title Match: Challenger Io Shirai vs 18th Champion Momo Watanabe (c) Pre-Match Promos: Io Shirai: Io would love to say she’s delighted to be back, but between the long flight 2 days ago and her former friend Momo’s attitude, she’s looking to hit the ground running, then analyze STARDOM's progress from one of the tops of the mountains. Momo Watanabe: Momo links her bandaged shoulder to carrying STARDOM on her young shoulders, as she continued to lead STARDOM forward, whilst Io deserted her. Match Overview: This slow built main event really pulled on the oldest wrestling story in the book, student vs teacher, to showcase the pairs growth apart alongside showing the skills their different paths have shown them. Momo’s injury to her shoulder was offset by Io’s Jet lag and banged up knees after the gruelling WWE schedule, ensuring the main event did not come close to hitting the heights expected of them, with double downs and grasping at limbs frequent in the second half of this contest. Momo’s shortcut attempts were all thwarted by the referee alongside the experience of Io, resulting in the closing stretch of Neck-breakers and tombstone piledrivers leaving Momo staring up at the lights, as a picture-perfect Bridging German Suplex Hold gifts Io her second Wonder of STARDOM Championship. Io Shirai (68) defeated Momo Watanabe (57) in 17:45 by pinfall with a Bridging German Suplex Hold. Io Shirai wins the Wonder of Stardom title (66). Show Closing Angle: Io is back on top! She will be watching the upcoming 5STAR very closely (66). Show Grade: 67 Show Notes - So we say goodbye to Waka in what would have been an emotional start to the night. I feel like once she does get her first win, there’s only so many more stories they can tell with her. - I can’t decide whether to turn Koguma or not, the Hazuki match has to happen now, but I just can’t bring myself to full turn the bear! - Io coming back maybe jumping the cue in terms of getting the white belt off the bat, but we will hold on for the first moon sault back / rest both her & Momo for the 5STAR, which is up next!

I made a mistake yesterday double booking Hazuki. She will be replaced in the 10 man by Momo Kohgo. With everything that happened this week I need to actually play the event and write it up tomorrow, so hopefully I’ll write this and get back ahead this weekend! I'll blame card "subject to change" and "Card subject to big dumb mistakes" 😛 STARDOM Autumn Flame in Osaka 2022 Saturday Week 4 August 2023 Main Event: Io Shirai vs Momo Watanabe (c) Match Preview: The Wonder of STARDOM Title is on the line in our main event, as the returning Io Shirai wrestles her first match back against her former student in Momo Watanabe. With the champion Momo having to battle through an injury to defend her belt for the 10th time, compared to Io Shirai who is coming off the grueling WWE schedule, hopefully both women can battle through to deliver an outstanding main event! Semi Main: AZM vs Hazuki (c) Match Preview: The semi-Main event sees Hazuki make V1 of her High Speed title against AZM. The former stable mates in QQ who have been two of the leading lights in the high speed division will draw on their history to be the spark to ignite this ppv! (with AZM shortening and stylizing her name to match Hazuki’s former style “HZK”) Match 5: Cosmic Angels (Mei Hoshizuki & Maya Yukihi) vs Oedo Tai (Natsuko Tora & Ruaka) Match Preview: Natsuko Tora will continue to rebel against Starlight Kid’s strange games and look to bring back her old friend Ruaka, who has transformed in a cold blooded stone faced destroyer. Yukihi has been working in the background of Cosmic Angels to slowly imprint her reserved regel approach to wrestling, with Mei looking to cling on to either her or Tam’s philosophy to find her way in STARDOM. Match 4: STARS (Mayu Iwatani, Momo Kohgo, Koguma, Saya Iida & Hanan) vs Vermillion World (Syuri, Natsupoi, Maika, Himeka & Yui Inihara) Match Preview: Huge 10 woman tag sees two great factions square off in STARS & Vermillion World. Whilst stories of discontent have been bubbling between Syuri’s loss to Natsupoi, Maika & Himeka’s lack of direction and recent Koguma’s discontent in STARS, leading to storylines hopefully being created during and after this contest. Match 3: Queen’s Quest (KAIRI, Saya Kamitani & Miyu Amasaki) vs ALFA (Giulia, Suzu Suzuki & Thekla) Match Preview: No real story heading into this one, rather the noise from previous events, such as Giulia & Suzu’s potential fractures, Thekla finally getting over her short hair, Saya’s quest to convert Miyu into a high flying enthusiast and KAIRI’s bubbling concerns over Io’s return, hopefully leading to a fun match where I can test Miyu with some main event talent. Match 2: Cosmic Angels – Delicious (Unagi Sayaka & Mina Shirakawa) vs Oedo Tai (Starlight Kid & Saki Kashima) Match Preview: Saki’s unhappiness at the new, Starlight Kid led, Oedo Tai will come to blows here against the recent Cosmic Angels outcasts, who will be watching the previous match with intrigue. Opening Match: Tam Nakano vs Waka Tsukiyama Match Preview: Request by Tam to open the show, this loser leaves STARDOM contest against Waka will be the actual last match for one of the two wrestlers. With Waka finally winning a singles match, alongside Tam’s reignited passion, this should open the show with a bang! Pre-Show Match: ALFA (Mai Sakurai & MIRAI) vs Skye Blue & Brittany Bryant Match Preview: The Preshow sees everyone who didn’t make it onto the card with the AEW excursionists taking on the ALFA duo.

I can't wait to see Ambrose break out into a super babyface, although from his most recent promo it certainly isn't the pg era anymore! A real mixing pot of talents and throwback names, looks like a fun diary!

Formatting is so clean! Although it is tough to read in dark mode, The fact you can casually throw out Omega vs AJ on dynamite shows how overpowered this roster is! I wonder who can stop Britt though, as 13 defences is pretty special! Keep up the great work!
