Thanks for giving this diary a second chance! PPV up Friday! STARDOM 12th Anniversary Preview Saturday Week 4 January 2023 Main Event: Jungle Kyona vs Momo Watanabe © Match Preview: In our main event, The World of STARDOM Champion Momo Watanabe will defend her red belt against Jungle Kyona. After all of the history between these two ladies (showcased in the Jungle Kyona character focus) both wrestlers have a lot of emotions to work through. Momo will relish the headline attention, as Jungle will be cautious, returning to in ring competition after a 2 ¼ year absence. Semi Main: Cosmic Angels (Tam Nakano, Unagi Sayaka & Mina Shirakawa) vs STARS (Mayu Iwatani, Saya Iida & Hanan) Match Preview: The Vacant Artist of STARDOM titles are up for grabs here as STARS take on Cosmic Angels. Unagi & Mina have stood up and delivered for Tam, after Nakano demanded more from them towards the end of last year. Mayu on the other hand will be looking to help jump start Iida & Hanan’s year with some title glory, after a particularly quiet 2022. There will always be an uneasy tension between the 2 factions after Tam chose to leave STARS, setting us up nicely for the PPV. Match 5: AZM vs KAIRI Match Preview: KAIRI vs AZM will compete here, with the Queen’s Quest leadership on the line. AZM doesn’t believe in Io handing leadership over to KAIRI, much preferring to compete for the honour, as KAIRI has defeated Kamitani & Hayashishita but not AZM in singles competition! Match 4: Himeka vs Maika vs Natsupoi vs Syuri Match Preview: Syuri attempts to pick up the broken pieces of DDM in this 4 way encounter alongside MaiHimePoi. Some outstanding progression from all 4 in ring wise should lead to a phenomenal match and some headaches for Syuri who wants to see what the others are truly made of. Match 3: Hazuki vs Utami Hayashishita Match Preview: This special singles match sees Hazuki square off against Utami Hayashishita. After a shock pin resulted in a fierce brawl, alongside some strong twitter exchanges, both ladies having nothing to lose makes them both even more dangerous! Match 2: Momo Kohgo Vs Saya Kamitani © Match Preview: Saya Kamitani will defend her High-Speed title against Momo Kohgo for the 5th time. This match is kick starting the Hazuki Character arc, her rookie Kohgo will look to give this match her all for her mentor, who will be watching closely. Opening Match: Lady C vs Miyu Amasaki Match Preview: Lady C’s retirement match against one of QQ’s newest members Miyu Amasaki will be a preview to the refresh QQ will make heading into 2023. Pre Show Match: Koguma & Yui Inihara vs Oedo Tai (Starlight Kid & Natsuko Tora) vs Oedo Tai (Saki Kashima & Ruaka) Match Preview: Pre-show match to get everyone on the card sees Oedo Tai with the huge numbers advantage against Koguma & the rookie Inihara STARDOM 12th Anniversary Quick Picks 7.

Hi! It's been a while! Due to forgetting my password then self isolating, my comeback was a true flop. I'm sorry for the delay but I'll plan to be back next Monday for the last 2 tour events, preview the event on Wednesday, then put the Anniversary on Friday next week. Then touching wood we'll be back to one month a week the week after! Thanks!

State of the Universe Week 1 January 2023 One Year into the save, let’s have a look at STARDOM’s rivals and the key companies around the world. Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling (TJPW) have continued their positive growth, raising 3 points of popularity across Japan and a bank balance almost touching 2 million dollars. Maki Itoh finally beat Miyu Yamashita for the main title belt, the company seem all in on the “Cutest in the World”! Tag matches have allowed the promotion to continue to produce stronger and stronger ratings, with August seeing Magical Sugar Rabbits (Magirabi) defeating Shoko Nakajima & Miyu Yamashita for an 81, then closing of the year With 121000000 defeating Magirabi for a 79!

This allowed them to get out of debt, finish the year with $140,000 in the bank and have a tidy 20k profit per month since. Their main event players: Saori Anou, Tsukasa Fujimoto, Tsukushi & Rina Yamashita have carried their company for the second half of last year, and even allowed them to rise in size to small! Click here to see Titles ICExInfinity – Saori Anou – 2 defences – 190 days International Ribbon Tag Team – Rising Force (Haruka Umesaki & Itsuki Aoki) – 3 defence – 221 days FantastICE – Ram Kaicho – 4 defences – 309 days Triangle Ribbon – Hiroyo Matsumoto – 0 defences – 10 days IW-19 – Aja Kong – 1 defences – 99 days OZ Academy OZ Academy have also managed to stop the rot by also selling their dojo, rising to small and hiring Jungle Kyona. Their best show of the year was held in July, cracking the 60’s show rating thanks to a 69 rated main event, which saw Rina Yamashita retaining her Openweight title against Arisa Nakajima! Click here to see Titles OZ Academy Openweight – Rina Yamashita – 5 defences – 211 days OZ Academy Tag Team – Itsuki Aoki & Yuu – 0 defences – 49 days Sendai Girl’s Pro Wrestling Sendai Girl’s Pro Wrestling managed to fix their financial situation by cutting 3/4 of their production budget and halving it wage costs. This ensured they only dipped their toes in the financial red, before now sitting 100k in the black, making a healthy profit. The Monster reign of Chihiro Hashimoto has surpassed 1000 days, last being defended in April partially due to injury, partially due to TEW booking. Their tag tournament saw a particularly strong main event match of Meiko Satomura & Ryo Mizunami beating The House of Truth (Kaho Kobayashi & Mio Momono) to scoop up the tournament win and score a 66.

It has clearly worked though, as new signing Miyu Yamashita lost to Arisa Nakanjima for an eye watering 84 match rating, allowing them to flex their muscles with a ridiculous 80 rated show to end the year.

Running back Takumi Iroha and Rin Kadokura at the end of the year scored them an 80 rated main event match rating, continuing their successful year! Gatoh Move Gatoh Move are well and truly in the mud! Youtube (Japan) cancelled their contract in July taking them off air, followed by a 200k Media fine at the end of the year, lost them 9 points of popularity dropping them to Insignificant size! Only a crowdfunding campaign can save this company, unless we make our first purchase of the save! With them rejecting a takeover attempt, they must be believing in the power of the Pencil army, with Lulu as their top champion! Click here to see Titles Super Asia – Lulu Pencil – 0 defences – 148 days Asia Dream Tag Team – SAKI & Ram Kaicho – 1 defence – 232 days New Japan Pro Wrestling New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) continue to dominate Japan by putting on great matches, and continuing to burn their relationships, ending their agreement with Dragongate. BUSHI & Tanga Loa saw their contracts expire as a new wave of Young lions entered the system, although none of the new lions are anything to write home about. The 2022 Company of the year was lead unsurprisingly by Okada, who continued his dominate amazing matches, going back to back in September for the Destruction shows, putting on 97 against Shingo Takagi followed by a 98 against Kota Ibushi the very next night.

Rateddc's pick for a push for winning the second prediction contest is below. For the 3rd and final prediction contest, the rules are exactly the same, except for the new prize of everyone being a winner! 1st place will pick a wrestler to push AND 1 match I have to book from the red belt champ down 2nd place will pick 1 match I have to book from the white belt champ down 3rd place will pick 1 match I have to book from the tag belt champ down Right down to the last person, or you can pick a match with people in with no titles, But without further ado ... Reflection – A Hazuki Character Focus A low thudding sound combines with fresh crunches of ring ropes being strained, alludes to serious work occurring within the STARDOM dojo. As the junior starts to tire, the senior bangs on the mat and yells encouragement to her to keep moving forward. “Hurry hurry” Hazuki demands of her rookie Momo Kohgo, who draws strength from her mentor and pushes through the pain. The beeping alarm from a phone brings to an end the session. Momo Kohgo collapses on her back, gasping to regain her breath. Hazuki casually praises her, before spinning on her heel, intent on heading to the showers, before a disrespectful remark stops her dead in her tracks. “What?! Is my time and effort not enough for you!” Hazuki snaps. Shoulder bumping Hazuki as she walks past to the showers first, Kohgo responds “Maybe if you worked as hard as you push others, you’d have more success since your comeback” Outraged at the audacity of this rookie, Hazuki processes the rudeness and contemplates firing back. Before Hazuki can yell out something she might regret, Iwatani appears at the perfect moment, to put around the “Wild Heart” and lead her away from the situation. Iwatani successfully manages to cool off a hot and bothered Hazuki by reminding her of her own rookie years and missteps, before encouraging her to take a swim in the pool across the street. Thankfully at this hour, most of Tokyo were in work, allowing Hazuki the time and space to reflect on her comeback and that annoying rookie…

Amazing!!!! thank you so much, this is just what I was looking for! Wow you'll become more knowledgable than me about modern day joshi aha! It would classic Oedo Tai / Fukigen to troll the crowd again! She will be missed!

Roster + Stables update Week 1 January 2023 Within the individual worker profiles, the win / loss records will be display as: Number of Wins – Number of Draws – Number of Losses STARS’ have finally shaken off Oedo Tai and will now be looking to bounce back after having a tough second half to the year. Having not won any of the big title matches they competed in, and a weak showing in the 5STAR, Iwatani & Co will be targeting a greater spotlight in Season 2. Click here to see individual wrestler summaries Mayu Iwatani Diary match record 44 – 4 – 28 / Winning Percentage 58% / Kanto Pop = 53, No Change Mayu Iwatani took a back seat in the second half of last year, losing a goddess’s and World title match in the second half of the year, to selfishly put over the other stars in the company. As figurehead and Icon, I promise I plan to change this going into season 2 of this diary. Hazuki Diary match record 33 – 1 – 43 / Winning Percentage 43% / Kanto Pop = 41, -2 Despite some great character work with Oedo Tai where I was convincedI raised her profile, Hazuki has dropped pop and has a surprisingly low winning percentage. Having teased twice that Hazuki has a wandering eye, potentially this could be the year Hazuki sheds her STARS friendship and explores a different future. Koguma Diary match record 27 – 2 – 48 / Winning Percentage 35% / Kanto Pop = 42, No Change I’m really surprised at how low Koguma’s Winning percentage has dropped too, probably due to not paying too much attention to it since June. It does highlight the positive of these 6 monthly check ins, as it is clear this need to be rectified move forward, instead of continuously sleepwalking-ly booking her into oblivion. Saya Iida Diary match record 22 – 0 – 32 / Winning Percentage 41% / Kanto Pop = 34, No change I feel bad about a number of wrestlers to come, especially Iida, as her talent is undeniable, but on this roster it is very difficult to let it shine through. Hanan Diary match record 26 – 0 – 39 / Winning Percentage 40% / Kanto Pop = 29, +2 Original plans had Hanan as the longest reigning Future Champion, until the Mai & Waka story came along. I hope Hanan’s association with Mayu allows her continue to grow positively. Momo Kohgo Diary match record 16 – 0 – 51 / Winning Percentage 24% / Kanto Pop = 23, No change Quiet year for KoMomo who despite not gain pop, is rapidly improving her skills. Oedo Tai capped off the year in style, with Starlight Kid being boosted massively within the 5 STAR alongside the true tribal chief, acknowledge her, Momo Watanabe, with whom I’m excited by the challenge of writing her character arc she sits firmly atop STARDOM’s roster as the White and Red belt champion! Click here to see individual wrestler summaries Momo Watanabe Diary match record 48 – 2 – 19 / Winning Percentage 70% / Kanto Pop = 56, +14 Ahh Momo, I’ve given her the world this year and so far she is running with it. This backstory of blind revenge against Bushi Road may accidently turn her face, as it’s a very western approach to her character arc but I think adds a deeper layer than the surface reason of jealousy for the heel turn. Natsuko Tora Diary match record 23 – 0 – 11 / Winning Percentage 68% / Kanto Pop = 44, +8 Tora has slotted in as third in command of Oedo Tai, but can now hopefully be counted on more thanks to her +8 pop gain. I can’t imagine she would be happy with her position, given she was leading before her injury, but this has allowed the younger stars in Momo & Starlight to shine through. Starlight Kid Diary match record 47 – 1 – 32 / Winning Percentage 59% / Kanto Pop = 47, -3 Starlight Kid has been breaking away to work on her singles career, unsuccessfully challenging for the red belt after defeating KAIRI in the 5 STAR, offset by Calling out then defeating a distracted Tam Nakano. -3 pop is disappointing, something to address. Saki Kashima Diary match record 40 – 0 – 34 / Winning Percentage 54% / Kanto Pop = 44, +9 Saki really benfitted from reaching the Goddesses tournament final, 2 or three wins on PPV seem to wipe away any poor booking of her. Ruaka Diary match record 25 – 0 – 43 / Winning Percentage 37% / Kanto Pop = 22, -1 Ruaka is in a similar boat to a lot of the rookies in the roster, not being given the opportunity to move up the roster. I’m hoping a fit and healthy Tora can mold her further as currently the future and maybe SWA division is where her in ring performances and popularity place her. Queens Quest’s New leader in KAIRI, (for now … ) will be looking to spark some life into the unit. Her first call to welcome Miyu Amasaki into the faction, will offset the loss of faction mate due to storyline retirement. Click here to see individual wrestler summaries Utami Hayashishita Diary match record 35 – 1 – 28 / Winning Percentage 55% / Kanto Pop = 43, -1 Utami has been screwed these last few months, as it is incredibly difficult to find the right spot for her. With KAIRI crowding QQ further, could Utami be tempted to break away or over throw the new leader. AZM Diary match record 47 – 3 – 33 / Winning Percentage 57% / Kanto Pop = 46, -1 AZM ultimately lost the feud with Momo, but can use that disappointment to propel her into 2023, as she has worked herself up in ring to reasonably challenge for any title she wants. Saya Kamitani Diary match record 47 – 1 – 29 / Winning Percentage 61% / Kanto Pop = 48, +7 Saya has been an awesome high speed champion after receiving a large 5 point pop boost after taking Starlight Kid’s belt off her back in July. The Golden phoenix will relish a chance to learn off KAIRI and to seek out new defences. KAIRI Diary match record 27 – 1 – 6 / Winning Percentage 79% / Kanto Pop = 54, +2 KAIRI cm back to STARDOM with a bang, holding the red belt for 5 months, before dropping it to Momo Watanabe. With a new faction to rebuild, the Pirate Princess will hopefully sink her teeth into this new project, until title opportunities open up for her. Miyu Amasaki Diary match record 11 – 0 – 36 / Winning Percentage 23% / Kanto Pop = 20, +8 Miyu will be announced by KAIRI as the latest Queens quest member! She is hoping to take her momentum from winning the Rookie of STARDOM match at Year-End Cllimax, into her new stable to learn and improve as much as possible. Cosmic Angel’s are back to their original three members, whilst Waka plays maid to turncoat Mai Sakurai, ensuring the Angel’s need to work even harder to regain their footing. All three members need some serious attention or a shake up heading into this second year, as despite winning the first ever Goddesses cup format, the faction is in desperate need of a fresh coat of paint. Click here to see individual wrestler summaries Tam Nakano Diary match record 31 – 0 – 45 / Winning Percentage 41% / Kanto Pop = 43, +1 Tam Nakano is getting ready to make a huge decision. Her faction is in desperate need of a shot in the arm and the second half of last year saw Tam’s head turn, with partnerships on PPV with Giulia, Mayu & Tour match with KAIRI, it will be interesting to see what Tam’s Dream for 2023 will take. Unagi Sayaka Diary match record 28 – 0 – 53 / Winning Percentage 35% / Kanto Pop = 40, +4 Unagi has struggled like Mina outside of winning the Goddesses Cup, She has failed to make an impact, losing multi-person PPV matches, outside of the Cup win. With Tam contemplating going her own way, Unagi will have to work with Mina to convince Tam Cosmic Angels is worth saving. Mina Shirakawa Diary match record 22 – 0 – 52 / Winning Percentage 30% / Kanto Pop = 41, +9 +8 Popularity for winning Goddesses Cup is huge for Mina as thankful a tough winning percentage hasn’t had too much of a negative effect. ALFA (Credit Blodyxe) Giulia & Suzu turning their backs on their units have sent shockwaves throughout STARDOM, ensuring this faction vs Syuri’s resistance will be the centre piece for season 2’s booking! Click here to see individual wrestler summaries Suzu Suzuki Diary match record 16 – 0 – 2 / Winning Percentage 89% / Kanto Pop = 47, +7 Suzu is a prodigy who has massively been boasted by the spotlight STARDOM and Giulia has given her! In real life if STARDOM promised her a full-time salary, whilst allowing her to break off 2 or 3 times a month to do Death Matches, it would surely be the best of both worlds, Prominence won’t last 50 year as Risa Sera will retire in 18 months, so let her blow off steam in the death Match company just make sense, in this fantasy diary definitely. I’m really excited to be booking Suzu. Giulia Diary match record 36 – 3 – 13 / Winning Percentage 69% / Kanto Pop = 47, -2 Well Giulia’s plan to reunite with former roommate Suzu lead to the demise of both of their families, and in its place a dominant dynasty looks set to dominate STARDOM for the next 10 years. She still would have been gutted to lose out to Momo in the 5Star finals, but her betrayal of DDM & Syuri will anchor the diary for the entirety of season 2. Thekla Diary match record 34 - 0 – 33 / Winning Percentage 51% / Kanto Pop = 40, +7 Thekla has been perfectly 50/50 booked this year, as the toxic spider steady climbed up the card. The 5 points of pop gained from beating Natsupoi has helped ensure she is now a force to be reckoned with! MIRAI Diary match record 24 – 0 – 50 / Winning Percentage 32% / Kanto Pop = 30, +2 Yikes, when I was working out winning percentages for everyone, I felt pretty about about MIRAI who started off the diary extremely poorly, but has scractched and clawed up to a stage where she is now worth a midcard level push. A dismal 5 STAR GP followed many throw away tag matches, but the Year-End Climax did offer a glimmer of hope! Mai Sakurai Diary match record 17 – 0 – 50 / Winning Percentage 25% / Kanto Pop = 29, +5 Mai has struggled this year, despite me giving her every opportunity to shine, so the extra long Future reign will continue for a few months longer than I’d like! Working in the smaller faction under Giulia should allow for some more wins / popularity, so hopefully she can kick on. Waka Tsukiyama Diary match record 5 – 0 – 53 / Winning Percentage 8% / Kanto Pop = 22, +1 Waka has been the punching bag for Cosmic Angels this year, becoming more and more desperate for her first pinfall, that still alludes her. Becoming Mai Sakurai’s butler is the latest of Waka’s unfortunate luck … Syuri Diary match record 55 – 1 – 20 / Winning Percentage 72% / Kanto Pop = 52, +1 Syuri put on a classic with Momo Watanabe for the Wonder of STARDOM title alongside a good main event with KAIRI for the Red belt. Then she laid low until the Year-End Climax where her Stable Leader Giulia turned her back on her, ensuring the two will be the centre piece of the diary once again. Syuri will address the DDM stable for the first 2 months as Giulia, Suzu & Co head to the Prominence Wrestling Company, before a yearlong feud with Giulia & Co! Maika Diary match record 39 – 0 – 24 / Winning Percentage 62% / Kanto Pop = 38, +5 Maika was mainly used in multi-man matches, highlighting the depth of the roster / my lack of plans for her. Invading Prominence should lead to her and Syuri being closer, as they work out a clear path forward. Himeka Diary match record 45 – 0 – 22 / Winning Percentage 67% / Kanto Pop = 45, +10 Himeka great supporting role enjoying strong Goddesses defences but has seen some incredible improvements thanks to mentor Bull Nakano! Both in terms and popularity and skillset, Himeka may need to have a stronger focus put on her this year! Natsupoi Diary match record 44 – 0 – 22 / Winning Percentage 67% / Kanto Pop = 41, +6 Natsupoi had some strong Goddesses defences, a in hindsight unfair loss to Thekla before beating Prominence but losing Giulia led to an overall minor positive push for everyone’s favourite fairy. losing DDM could allow her to push on with space to breath, as she’s put on some top in ring performances. Arriving Yui Inihara Diary match record 0 – 0 – 1 / Winning Percentage 0% / Kanto Pop = 4, +4 Yui is a rookie with a Generation next gimmick, thinking she is the future as she is unbelievable on the mic (91 for both Mic & Charisma). Hopefully a rival for Miyu Amasaki, as well as offering flexibility to float between factions for initial start. Departing Prominence will be seething at Suzu for turning their back on them, whilst being the Prominence heavyweight champion! They all leave STARDOM to focus on their own promotion, but hopefully the year of STARDOM fame followed by 2 months of Giulia & Suzu vs Prominence, should hopefully allow them to carry on. Fukigen Death leaving frees up a roster spot for a younger talent coming through and allows her to leave on a high rather than petering out. Lady C leaving due to injuries also ensures the cycle of wrestlers coming and going is maintained. Click here to see individual wrestler summaries Fukigen Death Diary match record 20 – 0 – 47 / Winning Percentage 30% / Kanto Pop = 41, +2 Fukigen Death goes out on top, rather than fizzling out and slowing down as her career comes to an end. The veteran played a key part in the mid – to - lower card but with the roster size and quality, it made sense to let her finish off her career elsewhere. Lady C Diary match record 24 – 0 – 39 / Winning Percentage 38% / Kanto Pop = 24, +2 Lady C is retiring in a couple of weeks, due to her being unable to keep up with the physical strain of Joshi Wrestler. She will announce this during a tour show next week, but the actual reason was she only featured on 2 main PPVs and 1 preshow and wasn’t wrestling at a high enough standard for her position. Risa Sera Diary match record 10 – 0 – 5 / Winning Percentage 67% / Kanto Pop = 36, +2 Akane Fujita Diary match record 11 – 0 – 5 / Winning Percentage 69% / Kanto Pop = 24, +2 Mochi Miyagi Diary match record 11 – 0 – 3 / Winning Percentage 79% / Kanto Pop = 20, +2 Kurumi Hiragi Diary match record 8 – 0 – 4 / Winning Percentage 67% / Kanto Pop = 22, +1

Thanks Infernalmiko! I really appreciate that! Page one is definitely the place to start in terms of outlining: The roster, factions, titles & Schedule, but any questions feel free to drop them here or in a private message! Welcome aboard! I may revisit the post below as I stupidly left it to the last minute, meaning a very rushed, tired paragraph summary for each wrestler. Luckily Thursday & Fridays posts are ready to go!

Power of the Jungle – A Jungle Kyona Character Focus After volunteering in Africa teaching youngsters, Jungle Kyona joined STARDOM at the later end of 2015 and wrestled in STARDOM until October 2020. Despite winning both the Artists and the Goddesses belts on three separate occasions apiece, she had 7 unsuccessful red and white belt challenges throughout her time. This helped in cementing her as always the bridesmaid but never the bride despite having a strong, loyal fanbase (The Jungle Prayer Circle). The reasons why she was my favourite wrestler in STARDOM was for her character outside of the ring, combined with her pure babyface emotional matches she had inside the ring. Watching a Jungle Kyona match involves a lot of hard-hitting power offence and screaming from the “Screaming lady” who always managed to garner genuine sympathy and babyface reactions from the crowd. Jungle Kyona defeated fellow rookie Momo Watanabe in her first match, before forming the partnership JKGReeeeN with Momo, until Watanabe turned on her partner to join the newly created QQ! Notable singles matches vs Momo Watanabe, Mayu Iwatani and Kagetsu, in white and red belt matches. These saw people just desperate for her to overcome the clearly more popularly and favoured wrestlers, which was a testament to her skills to make the contests as exciting as possible. Outside the ring, Kyona looked like the mother figure for a lot of the roster, setting the example and looking after quite a lot of the younger roster members. She even moved in with Hana Kimura for a month to support her and raced to Hana’s apartment once Io & KAIRI saw Hana’s final messages, but heartbreakingly couldn’t get there in time. Pure and simple, Kyona is too good for this world. If we all had a 10th of a heart that Kyona has, the world would be a much better place.

Cheers you both, it genuinely means a lot to me, I've got a lot of catching up to do! I couldn't help but lurk but the burnout was real, so 3 weeks of not booking helped a bunch! The next post may be a bit too much / too heavy considering but hopefully its alright!

Hello! its good to be back! Just a quick note to outline this weeks plan: Tuesday = Jungle Kyona character focus Wednesday = Roster overview, January 2023 update Thursday = Prediction contest winner Rateddc's choice for wrestler to push 1st character focus Friday = State of the universe Then Monday 13th still on target to posting usual tour cards with PPV on Saturdays. Lots of content, I hope you're excited for season 2! Cheers!

Thanks Blodyxe! Yeah hopefully the percentages make the predictions comp more open! On the Jungle Kyona front, sure! A separate character overview for people unfamiliar would be a nice addition! I will be messaging everyone who commented now to say thanks / listen to ideas but Rateddc's choice will take priority and I need to revaluate Natsupoi's plan to feature her more as I feel I need a way to redeem myself! I am going to take 3 weeks off this diary from now. I need 7 days of not booking anything, as a mental health break to reset. Then 7 days to plan out the final years booking, as currently the only things truly planned are the Red, White & Tag belts ideal lineages, all the signings I want to make and Cosmic Angel's immediate future. Then 7 days to write up roster review for this year, update title linages and post the state of the universe post. Hopefully week beginning June 6th I can start uploading the 3 posts in the paragraph above, whilst in the background booking January 2023. So that week beginning 13th June this diary can get back to its normal posting of 1 in game month a week. I am sorry for the 3 weeks break, as I was riding a good wave of momentum! Hopefully the 3 weeks will allow for better booking / consistent content when it does return, which will be beneficial for the long run.

STARDOM Year-End Climax 2022 Saturday Week 4 December 2022 Attendance: 11,308 People Pre-show Match: Rookie of STARDOM Special Singles Match: Yui Inihara vs. Miyu Amasaki Miyu Amasaki (36) defeated Yui Inihara (15) in 6:01 by pinfall with a Jumping DDT (31). Pre-show Match: Koguma vs. Utami Hayashishita vs. Unagi Sayaka vs. Mina Shirakawa vs. Lady C Utami Hayashishita (70) defeated Koguma (55), Unagi Sayaka (46), Mina Shirakawa (48) and Lady C (31) in 11:26 when Utami Hayashishita submitted Lady C with an Argentine Backbreaker Rack (59). Opening Match: Future of STARDOM Title Match: Challenger: Waka Tsukiyama vs 9th Champion Mai Sakurai © Pre-Match Promos: Waka Tsukiyama: Waka has been written off so many times she has lost count but tonight she is determined to prove the doubters wrong, by scoring her first pinfall. Mai Sakurai: Mai heads straight to the makeup room as she doesn’t even regard Waka as a challenge. Match Overview: A test of strength challenge is mockingly offered by the champion to the challenger, with Waka winning for a moment, catching Mai off guard, until the momentum is used to flip Waka down into a pin attempt for two. Waka scores the visual tapout on Mai but the referee is distracted by Thekla & MIRAI, allowing for Mai to survive. One big boot later and Mai retains her title. Mai Sakurai (29) defeated Waka Tsukiyama (27) in 6:02 by pinfall with a Diving Elbow. Mai Sakurai makes defence number three of the Future of Stardom title (28). Angle: Mai announces Bushiroad have given the green light to her amazing new idea – that Waka’s new role will be to become her personal butler! (44). Match 2: Donna del Mondo (MIRAI & Thekla) vs. STARS - Peach HEARTS (Hazuki & Momo Kohgo) Pre-Match Promos: Donna del Mondo: DDM are excited to show their skills then watch their stablemates in batte later tonight. STARS Hazuki apologizes for not training Momo hard enough for their Goddesses Cup attempt. Match Overview: Again, isolating Kohgo allows the opposition to wear down their opponents, Hazuki this time makes some dramatic saves and shine in trying to overcome the skills disadvantage. Ultimately returning to focussing on Kohgo proves successful for the DDM duo. Donna del Mondo [MIRAI (46) and Thekla (50)] defeated STARS - Peach HEARTS [Hazuki (68) and Momo Kohgo (36)] in 10:24 when Thekla submitted Momo Kohgo with a Death Strap Lock (56). Match 3: Starlight Kid vs. Tam Nakano Pre-Match Promos: Starlight Kid: Starlight is embarrassed to ever have been associated with Tam as she looks to end this year far superior to Tam. Tam Nakano: Tam promises to rise above Starlight Kid’s insult on social media, to show why she is STARDOM’s shining dream. Match Overview: We see Tam start to use more heelish tactics in this contest, like not releasing submission attempts until the final referee count and attempting eye pokes. Starlight out heels her though thanks to her Oedo Tai teammates outsmarting the Cosmic Angels supports at every opportunity, giving Kid the edge in order to pick up the win. Starlight Kid (70) defeated Tam Nakano (69) in 13:54 by pinfall with a Black Tiger Driver (71). Match 4: STARS (Mayu Iwatani, Saya Iida & Hanan) vs. Oedo Tai (Natsuko Tora, Saki Kashima & Ruaka) Pre-Match Promos: STARS: Mayu is please with the wrestling skills improvement she has seen from Iida & Hanan but needs to see more from the two of them in terms of work towards titles Oedo Tai: The Oedo Tai trio are tired of playing second fiddle to other on the roster, they promise to step up and stop the “disrespectful, rude STARS trio” Match Overview: A standard match allows the good triumphing over evil story to be on full display. Mayu hits her spectacular Moonsault to pick up the win. STARS [Mayu Iwatani (81), Saya Iida (51) and Hanan (42)] defeated Oedo Tai [Natsuko Tora (51), Saki Kashima (60) and Ruaka (38)] in 12:29 when Mayu Iwatani pinned Saki Kashima with a Moonsault (63). Match 5: Giulia vs. Suzu Suzuki Pre-Match Promos: Giulia: Giulia still thinks Prominence is crazy for thinking she instructed Syuri & Maika to invade them but is convinced Prominence are the reason she was not able to win this years 5 Star. Suzu Suzuki: Suzu acknowledges that Prominence have met their two main objectives for 2022 of establishing their own thriving company and establishing themselves as the most dominate faction in Japan. Winning tonight would be a huge personal achievement for Suzu, ensuring an almost certain victory later in the night to offer the perfect ending to this story. Match Overview: Giulia sends DDM to the back, before asking Suzu to tell Prominence to leave too, allowing a purely 1v1 match to occur. These two lay in extra impact into their attacks as they know each other so well, leading to a hard hitting affair. As both competitors started to tire, Suzu manages to avoid multiple big boots, hit her finisher and keep Giulia’s shoulders on the mat for the referees three count. Suzu Suzuki (61) defeated Giulia (66) in 22:01 by pinfall with a Grand Maestro de Tequila (69). Angle: An exhausted Suzu Suzuki grabs the microphone and picks a hardcore match stipulation to be applied to the next match, to decide the fates of Prominence & DDM! (57). Match 6: Donna del Mondo (Syuri, Natsupoi, Himeka & Maika) vs Prominence (Risa Sera, Mochi Miyagi, Akane Fujita & Hiragi Kurumi) Pre-Match Promos: Donna del Mondo: Syuri & Maika warn HimePoi of the dangers their rivals can inflict on them. The only way they will come out of this contest alive will be if they all work together. Prominence: Prominence are so full of themselves as Suzu was able to dispatch of Giulia, allowing them to play and win by their rules. Match Overview: This match breaks down immediately into a massive 4v4 brawl, before each participant is given the opportunity to shine. In a brutal hardcore match, the main attraction came right at the end of this contest. The finish of this match comes as Giulia & Suzu both enter the ring with Syuri & Risa Sera on their Knee’s in the middle of the ring. Giulia swings at Suzu with a barbed wire chair but Risa pops up to absorb the blow, rolling to the edge of the ring holding onto the weapon. This leaves a weaponless Giulia and a downed Syuri to face an barbed wire baseball bat welding Suzuki. As Suzu goes to strike Syuri to even the odds, Giulia puts both hands up in order to attempt to block the blow. That is until Giulia cracks a huge smile, gesturing down and to the left, like she is guiding a Spanish bull, allowing Suzu to viciously attack Syuri! Fans are shocked as once the damage has been done, Giulia & Suzu work together to drag Syuri body over to Sera’s prone body, draping Syuri over Sera as the ref slow counts 1,2,3! Donna del Mondo [syuri (74), Himeka (56), Maika (57) and Natsupoi (59)] defeated Prominence [Risa Sera (50), Akane Fujita (38), Mochi Miyagi (38) and Hiragi Kurumi (37) in 19:02 when Syuri pinned Risa Sera (60). Angle: Suzu & Giulia betray Prominence & DDM! Prominence is out of STARDOM! DDM is in ruins! As Syuri, MaiHimePoi and what’s left of Prominence watch as Suzu & Giulia hightail it out of the arena, with MIRAI, Thekla & Mai Sakurai in tow! (61). Semi Main: High Speed Title Match: Challenger: AZM Vs Challenger: Fukigen Death vs 22nd Champion Saya Kamitani © Pre-Match Promos: AZM: AZM speaks about looking up to Yoneyama growing up and about how proud she is of Kamitani’s progress. Kaori Yoneyama: Kaori Yoneyama sheds her Fukigen persona to wrestle tonight as herself and will try to make tonight memorable Saya Kamitani: Kamitani is excited by the prospect of this High Speed three way, as this offers a brand new challenge as she continue to improve her career. Match Overview: AZM & Kamitani agree pretty early on to wrestle as everyone for themselves, leading to an explosive mix of different attacks after running the ropes to kick this one off. A three-way rolling pinning predicament spot all around the ring, I’m not even sure is possible but was attempted during the middle of the match. As the match was wrestled at a million miles an hour, the story revolved around Yoneyama continuously missing attacks as the other two were just too quick, leading to the finish where Saya is able to wriggle around Kaori a couple of times before scooping her up for a big Star Crusher. Saya Kamitani (65) defeated AZM (64) and Kaori Yoneyama (54) in 10:57 when Saya Kamitani pinned Kaori Yoneyama with a Star Crusher. Saya Kamitani makes defence number four of the High Speed title (67). Angle: Kaori Yoneyama retirement ceremony – As each faction enters the ring together to present flowers and gifts to Kaori, instead of accepting the presents, she leans over to inspect then throws up the death hands in approval! Finally Oedo Tai appear with an Oedo Tai picture, which death inspects, then grabs Tora’s hand and Irish whips her into the corner. “Death, Death, Oedo Tai, Death” She runs at Tora only to be kicked away. “Death, Death, Thank you, Death” She runs into another boot! Back into the middle of the ring she exhaustedly looks around to see the crowd with a tear in their eyes, yell out motivation to try again. “Death, Death, Retirement, Death” She runs to hit her signature move which she has attempted for 3 years and finally hits the devasting … flick between the eyes. The crowd laughs as Tora shakes it off, pulls them both to the middle of the ring to raise her arm and point at Yoneyama, who steps away from the STARDOM ring (49). Main Event: World & Wonder of STARDOM Title Match: 18th Champion: Momo Watanabe © vs 15th Champion KAIRI © Pre-Match Promos: Momo Watanabe: Momo tries to convince herself that she is done with caring about QQ’s status as the spotlight should be firmly placed on her. KAIRI: KAIRI can’t understand why Momo turned her back on her former QQ stablemates, as they are right on the precipice of another boom period. She will defend this red belt with honour, then help to lead QQ into the future! Match Overview: This match starts with a faceoff followed by a slow circle around their opponents, as the crowd are allowed time to soak in the atmosphere and strap themselves in for a belter. With QQ in KAIRI’s corner, able to stop any Oedo Tai outside interference, the opening portion sees a 50/50 split on momentum. The match breaks down when Momo aims a brutal kick to KAIRI’s midsection, completely knocking the wind out of her. As the ref checks on her, Momo shoves the ref aside to continuously boot the red belt champ all the way to the outside. KAIRI eventually returns at the 19 count. The finish of this match sees Momo power out of an Insane Elbow, batter KAIRI down with kicks, then hit a second rope Diving Somato to become the holder of the World and Wonder Titles. Momo Watanabe (72) defeated KAIRI (77) in 27:26 by pinfall with a Diving Somato. Momo Watanabe wins the World of Stardom title. Momo Watanabe makes defence number three of the Wonder of Stardom title (81). Show Closing Angle: Momo has done it, she takes a moment to collect herself before receiving the World & Wonder of STARDOM belts from Rossy Ogawa, before pushing him out of her ring to soak it all in. She grabs a microphone to invite Bushi Road founder and president, Takaaki Kidani into the ring. After some awkward shuffling Kidani steps into the ring, bows then congratulates Watanabe. Momo with a grin tells him he can now leave out of the other side of the ring. He gets halfway before a laser focussed kick dops him in the centre of the ring. Momo with mic in hand yells that Bushiroad never gave her the respect she was deserved, always shunning her from PPV posters and STARDOM promotional graphics, because she isn’t what they look for in a star. She goes on to say how she had to betray her faction because she couldn’t sit back any longer minimizing herself to give the spotlight to others and through hard work and a undefeated 5 STAR victory, STARDOM has no choice then to put herself front and centre of everything they do, as this is now the black peach era. She kicks him out of the ring and demands that the photographers take her picture, posing with two belts. A tense and pretty awkward atmosphere falls on the Year-End Climax event until … Jungle noises can be heard over the system as out walks out Jungle Kyona! Wearing street cloths, Momo’s former tag team partner enters the ring to square up with the double champion to yell “this isn’t you Momo”. Momo smirks and leaves as Jungle takes a mic to say hello to everyone. Jungle thanks the crowd for their support tonight as the girls in the back put in a lot of work to continue to elevate STARDOM and tonight’s card was awesome. She then goes on to explain that she is out here because she doesn’t want her last match in STARDOM to be a random tag team match with her body fully beaten up. She has spoken to STARDOM and they have given her one last match against the new double champion Momo Watanabe for her newly won red belt! (65). Show Grade: 79 Show Notes - Yui Inihara failed to show up for a scheduled meeting with a road agent … Stern Warning … small negative impact … oh brother… Starting off with a 15 in ring rating must have been thrown off by this! - Giulia & KAIRI unhappy at putting over their opponents … gave each 25k then asked them to put over their opponents, whilst Giulia declined, KAIRI accepted! - Waka & Mai don’t click, this led to a cooled crowd and a poor way to start to the show … - Kaori Yoneyama was the weak link, struggling to keep up with everyone else's in-ring performance – even the game helps with my story telling as she is great but struggling to match the speed of the new generation - Jungle arriving would never happen in real life, but this is what I’d love to happen / accidently feel into booking! Nobody predicted Momo to win and the image of an awkward atmosphere as the heel gloats would never happen in Japan, so a new babyface challenger saving the day made sense in my head. - This will be a one match and done situation but hopefully can help further the Momo character arc, I’d be really interested in your thoughts as there are a few angles like this which may not land like I want! - Best event rating by one point is the perfect way to cap off this first year! I’ll dm the people who left comments and predictions to thank them all / so they can either leave feedback for me to respond to on this thread or privately. - Thank you for spending time checking this out though!

PPV aiming to be up at 7pm bst tomorrow, so still time to get your predictions in! STARDOM Year-End Climax 2022 Saturday Week 4 December 2022 Main Event: Momo Watanabe © vs. KAIRI © Match Preview: The Wonder of STARDOM champion Momo Watanabe faces the World of STARDOM champion Kairi in this winner takes all main event. With Momo winning the 5 STAR, whilst going undefeated allowed her the right to challenge. She may have thought she finally resolved her Queen’s Quest beef, which took up the majority of this year, only for KAIRI to reveal that she will take over Momo’s former faction in the new year, adding another layer to this double title match affair! Semi Main: AZM vs. Fukigen Death vs. Saya Kamitani © Match Preview: Saya has flown with the High-Speed title since defeating Starlight Kid, elevating the belt with some high-quality defences against Death, Koguma & Saki Kashima. AZM will look to take on the champ whom she trained to get up to the High-Speed champion calibre and someone she looked up to holding the title in Fukigen. Fukigen will compete in her last STARDOM match here as she retires from the STARDOM ring but not quite yet from wrestling. After giving her all, competing for STARDOM since 2013, now seems like the perfect time to bow out on top, whilst challenging for the title she has won 3 times. Match 6: Donna del Mondo (Syuri, Natsupoi, Himeka & Maika) vs Prominence (Risa Sera, Mochi Miyagi, Akane Fujita & Hiragi Kurumi) Match Preview: Pt 2 of the Prominence vs DDM battle sees a 4v4 match to end the rivalry. The stakes are a DDM win cause Prominence to leave STARDOM, compared to a Prominence win resulting in DDM disbanding. This match may hinge on the match preceding them, as if Suzu wins she’ll sure pick a hardcore stipulation to try to give Prominence a match type in their element, compared to a Giulia win which would most likely be a total elimination style match, to take advantage of the superior in ring skills of DDM. However with Syuri & Maika going behind DDM’s back to bring the fight to Prominence at a Prominence produced show and Himeka who has been coaching Natsupoi but may feel unappreciated, could a heel turn crumble DDM from within? Match 5: Giulia vs. Suzu Suzuki Match Preview: Giulia vs Suzu Suzuki is the money match deserving of the biggest stage, as these former two roommates and training partners do battle to win the right to pick the stipulation for the 4v4 which will decide their faction’s fate. Prominence’s music cost Giulia the 5 STAR and tipped her over the edge for wanting this matchup, as Suzu was convinced that Giulia sent Syuri & Maika out to attack them after Suzu successfully defended her Prominence Hardcore World Title. Match 4: STARS (Mayu Iwatani, Saya Iida & Hanan) vs. Oedo Tai (Natsuko Tora, Saki Kashima & Ruaka) Match Preview: The STARS vs Oedo Tai match is a rivalry as old as time. This bout has no story attached to it but hopefully should give these 6 ladies the stage to show their worth / hopefully a plan moving into next year. Match 3: Starlight Kid vs. Tam Nakano Match Preview: Starlight called Tam out at the start of the month, then I imagine these two went all out on social media to try to one up each other, to prove that they have fared better post STARS split. Match 2: Donna del Mondo (MIRAI & Thekla) vs. STARS - Peach HEARTS (Hazuki & Momo Kohgo) Match Preview: Another match with no build sees the SWA champ team up with MIRAI to take on Hazuki and her student Momo Kohgo. Hazuki will be looking to set the example once again to Kohgo as Thekla looks to lead from the front. Opening Match: Waka Tsukiyama vs. Mai Sakurai © Match Preview: Mai accepting Waka’s challenge because Sakurai believed this would be an easy fight highlights exactly how the champ has acted since turning her back on Cosmic Angels. Will this be Waka’s time to get her first singles win? Pre Show Match: Koguma vs. Lady C vs. Mina Shirakawa vs. Unagi Sayaka vs. Utami Hayashishita The chuck all the extra wrestlers on the preshow match hosts Utami Hayashishita, who was main eventing last year, highlighting her lack of spotlight this year. Utami is too talented to be here again so one of my goals for next year will be to find something for her to sink her teeth into. Goddesses of STARDOM cup winners Unagi & Mina also appearing here further highlights the lack of care towards Cosmic Angels, which will be addressed in the first half of 2023. Pre Show Match: Yui Inihara vs. Miyu Amasaki Yui makes her in ring debut against Miyu Amasaki for the Rookie of STARDOM tournament match as Yui talks a big game and dismissed Miyu, even after Miyu impressed World of STARDOM champ KAIRI Comments optional but making at least 5 comments earns you a free bonus point!

Thank you all for the comments and feedback, it has been awesome! I will pm everyone after the PPV to address the comments without risk of spoiling things, but I really appreciate everyone! Not quite, I haven't explained it too well. So part 1 is a special singles match Suzu Suzuki vs Giulia. Winner picks the stipulation for the 4v4. The 4v4 is where the stipulation of (DDM win = Prominence leave STARDOM vs Prominence win = DDM Disband). Hope this helps! As if I made it loser leave STARDOM it would have been pretty clear that DDM is 100% winning, whereas personalizing the stipulations to DDM just disbanding vs Prominence leaving, hopefully makes the result less obvious Yep regen from the STARDOM dojo I signed just in time for the last show of the year, to hopefully give Miyu a new rival!
