Strech Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) STARDOM Burning Summer in Tokyo 2023 Preview Saturday Week 4 May 2023 Main Event: Natsupoi vs Thekla © Match Preview: Hair vs Hair as the rivalry between Natsupoi and Thekla is finally put away for the SWA title. In Thekla’s 7th defence, the ALFA aligned Toxic Spider faces for the third time in singles competition (and the scores at 1 win each), the newly christened Vermillion World Fairy Natsupoi, who is the equal lead of Vermillion World with Syuri, Maika & Himeka. The Hair vs Hair stipulation nods at the stipulation Giulia vs Tam had 2 years ago in game, so should make the main event even more emotional. Semi Main: Momo Watanabe vs Natsuko Tora vs Saki Kashima vs Starlight Kid Match Preview: Oedo Tai leadership on the line here as Momo takes on Natsuko, Saki & Starlight. The White belt is not on the line due to the outcome potentially being obvious, alongside focusing and raising the value of the stake of Oedo Tai leadership. This match allows for a clear direction for the stable (which is desperately needed) and at least breaks Oedo Tai out of a multi-person lower tag match for a month! Match 5: Giulia vs Maika Match Preview: Giulia takes on her former understudy Maika in another ALFA vs Vermillion World conflict. Maika’s in ring performances have been so strong this year consistently higher than Giulia’s, ensuring an even match either can win. This is a big test for both ladies, to see how they fair in singles competition, as singles gold in the near future seems inevitable for these two and the other special singles match. Match 4: Suzu Suzuki vs Syuri Match Preview: The other half of the Goddesses of STARDOM champions Suzu takes on the formidable Syuri, which could easily contend for Match of the Year. Although I haven’t shown it in this diary too well, these ladies are two of my favourites to watch in real life and now I’m just desperate to see it in real life! In the diary though this will set the tone for the ongoing war between ALFA & Vermillion World. Match 3: STARS (Mayu Iwatani, Saya Iida & Hanan, Koguma) vs KAIRI, AZM, Skye Blue & Brittany Bryant Match Preview: In the classic Multi-woman chaos match STARS take on a Half QQ, Half AEW loaned specialist team. The Artist champs have adopted a down bad Koguma in their quest to face some strong and half unknown opponents, but on paper the teams are perfectly balanced in terms of roster roles, leading to a tough to predict ball of chaos. Match 2: STARS – Peach Stars (Hazuki & Momo Kohgo) vs Queen’s Quest (Saya Kamitani & Miyu Amasaki) Match Preview: Hazuki vs Kamitani is drawn out for a month here, as they team up with stable mates Momo Kohgo & Miyu Amasaki respectively. With no real stakes except bragging rights, this will focus more on progressing the story. Opening Match: Waka Tsukiyama vs Yui Inihara vs Mai Sakurai © Match Preview: Our opening contest sees Mai Sakurai put up the Future belt for the fifth time, in a three way match with Yui Inihara & Maid Waka. With Waka surely being drafted in to give the champ an easy pin taker, the three-way element opens up the battle and hopefully makes this more unpredictable. Pre Show Match: Himeka vs Mina Shirakawa vs MIRAI vs Unagi Sayaka Match Preview: Tam Nakano & Mei Hoshizuki will be monitoring Unagi & minas performance here. If my ppv card was one match bigger, MIRAI vs Himeka could have been two strong girls battering each other, but hey. STARDOM Burning Summer in Tokyo Quick Picks Main Event.

Strech Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Thank you all for tuning in, it was so cool to some friendly faces predicting again! I may review / update in the morning, as time / writers block have left some matches lacking in detail. STARDOM Burning Summer in Tokyo 2023 Saturday Week 4 May 2023 Attendance: 19,000 People in Tokyo Pre-show Match: Himeka vs Mina Shirakawa vs MIRAI vs Unagi Sayaka Himeka (61) defeated MIRAI (46), Unagi Sayaka (45) and Mina Shirakawa (50) in 9:59 when Himeka submitted Mina Shirakawa with an Argentine Backbreaker (57) . Opening Match: Future of STARDOM Title Match: Challenger: Waka Tsukiyama vs Challenger: Yui Inihara vs 9th Champion Mai Sakurai © Pre-Match Promos: Waka Tsukiyama: Waka knows her place is to support Sakurai’s dream of continuing to be a champion… Yui Inihara: Yui continues to bend and twist the narrative into why she is the greatest rookie STARDOM has ever seen, and to justify why she deserves this title match. Mai Sakurai: Mai having received her fresh coffee and snacks from Waka, laughs at the thought of anyone other than her walking away with her title. Match Overview: The early going does see Waka & Mai with the advantage, although the crowds loud support for Waka upsets Mai very early on. Halfway through the match Waka is forced to “follow the plan”, essentially ensuring Waka willingly rolls out the outside, interfering where possible but cannot score the pinfall. A double down leads to Waka looking wildly between the crowd and her prone opponents. The crowd peer pressuring Waka to enter the ring results in Waka throwing out Mai and turning to pin Yui. She is met with a thumb to the eye from Yui and a dirty pin which Waka barely kicks out of. When Waka flies though the air to connect with a missile kick, time seems to slow as the referees hand collides with the mat for a 1,2,3, followed by the roaring jubilation as Waka finally has a pinfall victory for the first time in her career! Waka Tsukiyama (33) defeated Yui Inihara (24) and Mai Sakurai (35) in 8:11 when Waka Tsukiyama pinned Yui Inihara with a Missile Kick. Waka Tsukiyama wins the Future of Stardom title (17) . Angle: Waka's done it! Her first ever pinfall! She is hugged by Unagi & Mina, before Tam shoos them out to face Waka one on one. Waka outstretches her arms for a hug, which Tam responds to with a Spin kick to the jaw! As Mina & Unagi are taken out by two masked women, Tam drapes the Future of STARDOM champion and heads to the back, with the two masked accomplishes in pursuit (52) . Match 2: STARS – Peach Stars (Hazuki & Momo Kohgo) vs Queen’s Quest (Saya Kamitani & Miyu Amasaki) Pre-Match Promos: STARS: Hazuki & Momo with matching orange paint splatter gear are ready to showcase their connection as a duo. Queen’s Quest: Miyu has stars in her eyes, as Kamitani will demonstrate the future of High-Speed wrestling, showcasing how it has developed. Match Overview: Hazuki & Saya’s outpost match here was successfully built to here, with Momo Kohgo & Miyu adding to the high-speed sequences, potentially showing that they could included in the next generation of high speed. A diving senton that looks brutal every time without fail ensures that Hazuki secures the mental advantage, heading into next months defence. STARS - Peach HEARTS [Hazuki (70) and Momo Kohgo (41)] defeated Queen’s Quest [saya Kamitani (64) and Miyu Amasaki (42)] in 10:54 when Hazuki pinned Miyu Amasaki with a Diving Senton (51) . Match 3: STARS (Mayu Iwatani, Saya Iida & Hanan, Koguma) vs KAIRI, AZM, Skye Blue & Brittany Bryant Pre-Match Promos: STARS: The Artists Champs welcome the bear into their home, but Koguma is too sad to play games in the interview, instead promising with a weak voice to try her best. QQ & AEW: The excitement of welcoming the AEW excursioners to a STARDOM ppv resulted in some smiley positive vibes from the QQ / AEW partnership. Match Overview: Aside from KAIRI & Mayu being teased but not touching, it was a showcase for the weaker members of the 4v4 units, as well as an introductory win for Skye Blue & Brittany Bryants first STARDOM ppv outing. Skye Blue (36), Brittany Bryant (29), AZM (66) & KAIRI (80)] defeated STARS (Mayu Iwatani (83), Saya Iida (53), Hanan (41) and Koguma (53)] in 15:32 when Skye Blue pinned Saya Iida with a Sliced Bread (63) . Match 4: Suzu Suzuki vs Syuri Pre-Match Promos: Suzu Suzuki: Suzu stayed in STARDOM for the big fight feels, so will relish the chance to stand across the ring with a former world champion. The key word being former, alongside the age to reach world champion level emphasised by Suzu. Syuri: Syuri can’t deny Suzu’s talent, however, after tonight, Suzu will have no choice but to respect her and admit that she’s bitten off more than she can chew. Match Overview: The crowd were full invested in this one and in fact were chanting for more towards the back straight, complaining when it was over. Brawling all around the arena played into Suzu’s hands perfectly but back on the mat, Syuri’s technical abilities were unmatched and eventually too strong for Suzu to handle. Syuri (76) defeated Suzu Suzuki (56) in 20:24 by pinfall with a Shin Seijin Clutch (72) . Match 5: Giulia vs Maika Pre-Match Promos: Giulia: Giulia hand picked Maika as she saw something in her, but as Maika failed to follow her lead to ALFA, she questions whether Maika can live up to her early career potential. Maika: Maika overheard Giulia’s interview and so walks into shot laughing at Giulia’s assessment of her potential, as Maika not only has time on her side in ring wise, but also has only just started her journey with Vermillion World, in which it would be impossible to not improve. Match Overview: After teasing a test of strength opening, Maika shoulder tackles Giulia hard to the mat, allowing Giulia to make a gif-able shocked face, and Maika to smirk as her strength should never be brought into question. Despite Giulia’s greater experience in a prominent singles role, tonight was all about Maika, who managed to use fighting spirit to kick out of a Giulia bomb late on, before delivering two huge Michinoku Drivers a minute apart, and ultimately pick up a huge win. Maika (65) defeated Giulia (53) in 18:07 by pinfall with a Michinoku Driver II (67) . Semi Main: Momo Watanabe vs Natsuko Tora vs Saki Kashima vs Starlight Kid Pre-Match Promos: Momo Watanabe: Whilst gutted to lose the red belt title, Momo wants to be the face of Oedo Tai, to ensure that she can continue to be at the forefront of STARDOM’s future. Natsuko Tora: Tora has been bottling up her frustrations for month, outraged that she need to prove why she is head of Oedo Tai operations Saki Kashima: Saki relishes being overlooked, as this contest could be over in a second, like spapapan. Starlight Kid: Kitto is ready to become the Oedo Tai senpai, as Oedo Tai needs to be modelled in her image to bring about the true era of darkness. Match Overview: A beautiful chaos between these stable mates and friends, is fought tornado tag team style with Black Desire and Devil Duo separating to square off! This is until Saki being thrown onto Tora for a close pinfall and Momo kneeing Starlight Kid in the face, blew apart all alliances, providing a true 4 way bout for the remainder of the match. Tora paired off nicely with Kid and then Momo separately for some singles exchanges but Saki was always their to take advantage of any weakness, as she went for flash pins galore. With Natsuko growing more and more frustrated, it took a well placed forearm to Momo and nasty buckle bomb to Saki to square off with the weak and damaged Starlight Kid. Kid however was playing hurt, causing the complacent Tora to lose grip of the Black Tiger and ultimately lose her leadership position as a Shiranui and a tight cover picks up the three count. Starlight Kid (62) defeated Natsuko Tora (55), Saki Kashima (55) and Momo Watanabe (73) in 20:28 when Starlight Kid pinned Natsuko Tora with a Shiranui (70) . Angle: Starlight Kid to lead Oedo Tai into the darkest new age (58) . Main Event: Hair vs Hair - SWA Title Match: Challenger: Natsupoi vs 8th Champion Thekla © Pre-Match Promos: Natsupoi: Natsupoi is egged on by her friends in Vermillion World, who believe in her and promise to support her, no matter what. Thekla ©: Thekla can’t wait to strip away the final bit of Natsupoi’s image, as she aims to leave her beaten, broken and bald by the end of the night. Match Overview: With the match stipulation being hair vs hair, lots of hair based offence was the key thread to this main event match. Thekla especially inflicting serious pain to Natsupoi’s tight braids, resulting in the left side of Natsupoi’s hair attaining a crimson mask, as the violence ramps up early. Natsupoi embraced and matched the aggressive style of Thekla, by showing no regard for either ladies safety with uncomfortable head butts, that caused a cut on the top of Thekla’s forehead, to again ramp up the drama in the contest. With Natsupoi using the unwavering support of her new official Vermillion World stable mates to reach the bottom ropes once Thekla was back on top in the stretch. Some gut-wrenching cries and sheer determination ensured that it was Natsupoi’s hand being raised at the end of the night, in turn finally becoming champion. Natsupoi (62) defeated Thekla (53) in 24:20 by pinfall with a Fairy Blink. Natsupoi wins the SWA Undisputed World Women's title (65) . Show Closing Angle: As Thekla’s hair is shaved off, ALFA declare all-out war against Vermillion World! (55) Show Grade: 65 Show Notes - Yui Inihara sustained Chronic Knee Pain, caused by Mai Sakurai , working through it for a month. Waka finally gets her first pinfall only for Tam to bring her back down to earth. - Giulia, Saya Kamitani, Mai Sakurai all really off their games - Hazuki passing on that torch by emailing praise about Starlight Kid Prediction Contest 5th / 6 Mokoa 4/8 50% Rateddc 4/8 50% Rhysrob 4/8 50% Smasher1311 4/8 50% Blodyxe 3/8 A tough predictions contest, maybe I should look to make preshow contests from here on out 2 options for the winner, rather than random 3/4 ways where anyone can win 3rd Overall Prediction Contest Rateddc 24/32 75% Smasher1311 17/24 71% Rhysrob 21/32 66% Blodyxe 9/16 56% Ohh so close heading into the last show, I'll be sure to add 10 points up for grabs for the final show next week for the predictions contest, to make it unpredictable for the last prize winner, although you will all get to pick a match, the wrestler push will be the main prize!

Mokoa Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Well, I'm glad SLK won Oedo Tai's leadership even though I hesitated picking her and went with Momo. This is something I'd like to see happen in real life. The old dragon of Oedo Tai e-mailing you about Starlight Kid is also perfect. Tam Nakano being a bully to the youngsters is an intriguing storyline for her. Vermillion World vs ALFA is a star studded gang warfare. Will be fun. I'm unsure if Oedo Tai can get on the same page under SLK. Seeing Tora's anger during the match and the shame of losing her seat. Maybe she will be unable to accept Kid's rule.

Dawn Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Oedo Tai under SLK is going to be very interesting. I was 50/50 between predicting her and Momo, and I just barely had Momo edge her out in my head since I thought tension between the two could be driven better that way. Don't get me wrong, this is the most interesting outcome. Who's Brittany Bryant? At least who is it in her pfp? And Natsupoi is getting the rocket strapped to her, huh? Let's go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strech Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 Well, I'm glad SLK won Oedo Tai's leadership even though I hesitated picking her and went with Momo. This is something I'd like to see happen in real life. The old dragon of Oedo Tai e-mailing you about Starlight Kid is also perfect. The game definitely is listening in to booking plans, too many coincident of the game generating scenarios perfect for the story! Yes I penciled Momo to win Oedo Tai leadership pretty early on, but her two injuries messing up my original white belt and red belt plans, meant rather than jinxing it a 3rd time, lets give Kid some shine. Tam Nakano being a bully to the youngsters is an intriguing storyline for her. Aha yes I remember early on it was a question of when is Tam going to get her teeth into something meaty, only a year late but hopefully its a good story! Vermillion World vs ALFA is a star studded gang warfare. Will be fun. So good, I'm kinda sad Prominence is just another part time faction in real life, I'll give Rossy his dues Giulia vs Tam is a beautiful story culminating in the rematch down the line surely, but Prominence should be a smash and grab short term thing imo. I'm unsure if Oedo Tai can get on the same page under SLK. Seeing Tora's anger during the match and the shame of losing her seat. Maybe she will be unable to accept Kid's rule. Hmmmm, give me 3 in game months and Oedo Tai will be crafted in Starlight's image, They won't immediately dominate, but you'll see , Your on my wave length with that prediction though! Oedo Tai under SLK is going to be very interesting. I was 50/50 between predicting her and Momo, and I just barely had Momo edge her out in my head since I thought tension between the two could be driven better that way. Don't get me wrong, this is the most interesting outcome. Yeah noone saw it coming, which could be a bad thing or just surprising, but again I've got an idea for what the faction could be in 3 months, it might be a bit cartoony, but I'd love to hear what people think of Oedo Tai in 3 in game months Who's Brittany Bryant? At least who is it in her pfp? Just a random newgen from AEW. I was booking Utami Hayashishita awfully, so in kayfabe swapped her for Skye Blue & a rookie called Bryant on excusions for 9 months, with a 3 month optional extra, as I need Rookies to lose a bunch and Utami can go tear it up in AEW, then come back higher up the card after the diary is done. And Natsupoi is getting the rocket strapped to her, huh? Let's go Me sitting here with June booked, errr I think someone should have checked the weight of that rocket, we'll see tomorrow aha just kidding but we'll see Thank you both and everyone reading, its so fun to see what you think and to see where I can improve!

Strech Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 STARDOM SuperNova 2023 Preview Saturday Week 4 June 2023 Main Event: KAIRI vs Mayu Iwatani © Match Preview: Mayu Iwatani attempts to make V2 against Queen’s Quest leader KAIRI. Mayu will be looking to avenge her loss to KAIRI in their last singles encounter last time out at Winter Warfare 8 months ago. The former stablemates clashing is always going to be entertaining, especially with the talent levels on display, this will offer a tough V2 for Mayu to overcome. Semi Main: Hazuki vs Saya Kamitani © Match Preview: In the Semi Main event, Cinderella Hazuki uses her wish to challenge the High-Speed Champion Saya Kamitani, who is making her 8th defence. Kamitani has shone with High-Speed belt but has yet to square off with an opponent like Hazuki, who combines her wrestling ability with this unique aura that always demands attention. An easy prediction for show stealer of the night, as whilst they were both in Queen’s quest at different points, both will be looking to show up and take the spotlight forward heading into the second half of 2023. Match 5: ALFA (Giulia, Suzu Suzuki, Thekla, MIRAI & Mai Sakurai) vs Vermillion World [syuri, Maika & Himeka) alongside Yui Inihara & a mystery 5th woman) Match Preview: 5v5 all out warfare sees ALFA taking on Vermillion World alongside the over confident Yui & their mystery fill. After Vermillion clawed back some significant momentum last month by clean sweeping ALFA, The Mystery Woman will have to be make a huge impact to overcome the fired up ALFA. Match 4: Skye Blue vs Momo Watanabe © Match Preview:Momo Watanabe defends her Wonder of STARDOM title for the 8th time against the excursion youngster Skye Blue. This is a huge opportunity for Skye to put her skills to the test on PPV against one of STARDOM’s best, it is a huge challenge to step up to! Momo after losing her Red belt & Oedo Tai leadership challenge will be looking to get back on track with another defence of her white belt. Match 3: Cosmic Angels – Delicious (Mina Shirakawa & Unagi Sayaka) vs Tam’s Angels (Mei Hoshizuki & Masked Mystery woman) Match Preview: Delicious finally get their revenge on the women who attacked them last month and we will finally reveal the identity of who is going to be supporting Tam moving forward. Tam will be watching the contest very closely and will get more involved then originally advertised. Tam has been doing allot of assessing the people closest to her, so hopefully tonight can finalize what her group will look like heading into the future Match 2: Oedo Tai (Natsuko Tora, Saki Kashima, Ruaka) vs STARS (Saya Iida, Hanan & Momo Kohgo) Match Preview: Oedo Tai’s lower card tag returns but this time with Starlight Kid leading the group, STARS better prepare the ice baths, as the odds are well and truly against them. Opening Match: Brittany Bryant vs Waka Tsukiyama © Match Preview: Waka makes her first defence against the other AEW excursionist Brittany Bryant in what will be Waka’s first defence of the Future of STARDOM championship, factionless. Pre Show Match: AZM & Miyu Amasaki vs 2 local jobbers (Akane Hira & Toku Kawatake) AZM & Miyu were the two left over this time, and rather than them squaring off, giving them the chance to pick up an easy win on the PPV preshow, sounds like a nice way to warm up the crowd for the show.

Strech Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) STARDOM SuperNova 2023 Saturday Week 4 June 2023 Attendance: 17,000 People Pre-show Match: Queen’s Quest [AZM & Miyu Amasaki] vs Akane Hira & Toku Kawatake Queen’s Quest [AZM (65) and Miyu Amasaki (40)] defeated Akane Hira (21) and Toku Kawatake (11) in 6:06 when Miyu Amasaki pinned Akane Hira with a Jumping DDT (51) . Opening Match: Future of STARDOM Title Match: Challenger: Brittany Bryant vs 10th Champion Waka Tsukiyama © Pre-Match Promos: Brittany Bryant: Brittany makes veiled digs at the locker room facilities in the venue, before assuring fans that she will stop Waka’s reign before its properly started. Waka Tsukiyama: Waka doesn’t know how to feel, as she should be elated at making her first defence of a title here in STARDOM. Instead, thanks to Tam Nakano, she just feels numb. Match Overview: This was a poor way to start off the show as the fans didn’t seem invested at all. Waka looking dejected throughout opted to look for the win immediately, walking off instead of posing after making her first defence of the Future title in an odd match. Waka Tsukiyama (34) defeated Brittany Bryant (28) in 6:52 by pinfall with a Missile Kick. Waka Tsukiyama makes defence number one of the Future of Stardom title (24) . Match 2: Oedo Tai (Natsuko Tora, Saki Kashima, Ruaka) vs STARS (Saya Iida, Hanan & Momo Kohgo) Pre-Match Promos: Oedo Tai: Oedo Tai’s promo sees Starlight Kid standing in front of the trio in action, hyping up how badly they will destroy STARS tonight. STARS: STARS revel in being the underdogs and look forward to trying their best Match Overview: Starlight Kid was bouncing around on the outside from minute 1, obnoxiously demanding more. Natsuko was again noticeably growing more and more frustrated, tagging out after 30 seconds, asking Saki or Ruaka to take over. Despite this Oedo Tai managed to pick apart STARS, easily collecting the win, much to the satisfaction of Kid, against her former faction. Oedo Tai [Ruaka (35), Natsuko Tora (54) and Saki Kashima (58)] defeated STARS [Momo Kohgo (41), Saya Iida (51) and Hanan (45)] in 10:17 when Saki Kashima pinned Momo Kohgo with a Revival (52) . Match 3: Cosmic Angels – Delicious (Mina Shirakawa & Unagi Sayaka) vs Tam’s Angels (Mei Hoshizuki & Masked Mystery woman) Pre-Match Promos: Delicious: Delicious are focussed on turning around their fortune, determined to prove to Tam that they deserve to stay and thrive in Cosmic Angels. Mei Hoshizuki & Masked Mystery woman: Mei is given the spotlight to improve her confidence in cutting a promo by questioning where Tam is, alongside marvelling at the skill that her associate has and will bring to the group. Match Overview: Slight confusion as to where Tam Nakano is, as it was expected that she would be front and centre, instead of waiting in the back. However, once the bell rings Tam’s music hits, with the cutest idol in the cosmos coming out wearing a referee outfit. She ejects the original referee to the back then gets up close and personal in the action, not favouring any side but continuously putting her body in the way of submission holds on the ropes, to ensure that both sides were treated fairly. Ultimately the speed and technique of both Hoshizuki & the masked woman kept their side firmly in control, before Mina rips the mask of revealing Maya Yukihi! The crowd are shocked, but this provides the crucial seconds for Yukihi to seize the advantage once and for all, picking up the victory for her and Mei. Mystery Woman (56) and Mei Hoshizuki (45) defeated Delicious [Mina Shirakawa (45) and Unagi Sayaka (44)] in 16:28 when Maya Yukihi pinned Mina Shirakawa with a God Migration (53) . Angle: Tam reveals masked supporter is the "Ice Queen" Maya Yuhiki, sparking a new era as Cosmic Angels pivot to include a ruthless arguably lacking. (69) . Match 4: Wonder of STARDOM Title Match: Challenger: Skye Blue vs 18th Champion Momo Watanabe © Pre-Match Promos: Skye Blue: A clearly nervous Skye Blue is delighted by the opportunity in front of her tonight. She looks forward to testing her abilities in singles action against a strong opponent. Momo Watanabe: Momo bemoans the hot-shotting of an outsider to her prestigious White belt. She is looking to send another clear message to management tonight, that she is on another level. Match Overview: Skye Blue and Momo not gelling was noticed instantly by fans and wrestlers alike, who desperately wanted to invest but the poor flow led to indifference from the crowd. Momo sensed this instantly and guided the youngster through an adjusted shorter match, that a tight B-Driver ended the match in simple fashion. Momo Watanabe (62) defeated Skye Blue (34) in 14:53 by pinfall with a B Driver. Momo Watanabe makes defence number eight of the Wonder of Stardom title (53) . Match 5: ALFA (Giulia, Suzu Suzuki, Thekla, MIRAI & Mai Sakurai) vs Vermillion World [syuri, Maika & Himeka) alongside Yui Inihara & a mystery 5th woman) Pre-Match Promos: ALFA: ALFA mock Natuspoi’s absence as weakness that they would never accept. They don’t care who the mystery woman is, as they are certain that she will not be able to hold a candle to ALFA. Vermillion World & Co.: Vermillion World lecture Yui on what they expect from her as an honouree member. They then step aside and reveal Konami as the 5th member of their team, gushing over her exciting return. Yui steps back off camera, so we can’t see her calculated looks. Match Overview: As this 5v5 was contested under one fall for victory, the match was a blur of bodies held together by some dramatic multi-person sequences. Missing Natsupoi put ALFA at a major disadvantage, which was offset by the heart of Syuri & co. constantly standing firm, even countering some of ALFA’s offence in order to create some opportunities for match winning moves to be delivered. At the head of Vermillion Worlds rallies were Maika & Syuri, whose battle cries galvanized the group. ALFA’s distain of their opposition stopped them from completely dominating this affair. Sensing the tide of the match swinging in Vermillion Worlds favour, Giulia nods to Suzu, who decide to isolate members of the opposition, taking them out one by one until only Konami was left standing. The numbers advantage and time out of the ring meant that Konami was unable to withstand the pressure, until she was forced to tap out to Giulia’s Stealth Viper. 10 seconds after the bell rings Giulia drops the hold to argue with Syuri, as the crowd are far from amused. ALFA [Giulia (61), Suzu Suzuki (67), MIRAI (45), Thekla (51) and Mai Sakurai (36)] defeated Himeka (59), Maika (65), Syuri (80), Yui Inihara (20) and Konami (36) in 17:50 when Giulia submitted Konami with a Stealth Viper (62) . Semi Main: High-Speed Title Match: Challenger: Hazuki vs 22nd Champion Saya Kamitani © Pre-Match Promos: Hazuki: The 2023 Cinderella is willing to push the limits to ensure her fairy tale ending leads her back to her to former glory. Saya Kamitani: Kamitani respects Hazuki as the Hazuki was the 18th High-Speed champ with 8 defences. So, if Saya is to truly be the future of STARDOM, she must overcome this challenger. Match Overview: Elaborate entrances added to the big fight feel here as Kamitani’s golden & green outfit was usurped by Hazuki’s entrance robe fusing her Cinderella dress with the black and pink floral style from her original Oedo Tai style when she last held the High-Speed Title. Weary of Kamitani’s love of flying, numerous attempts from the golden phoenix were quickly shut down. Once Kamitani finally managed to fly from the top rope and connect with a phoenix splash, the ref counted 1, 2 before spotting Hazuki’s foot resting on the bottom rope, causing the break. Hazuki managed to then turn the momentum of the match, battling through the pain before delivering a high angle Diving Senton to become the new champion! Hazuki (68) defeated Saya Kamitani (62) in 18:23 by pinfall with a Diving Senton. Hazuki wins the High Speed title (67) . Angle: Saya promises revenge as Hazuki stands tall, a 2 time High-Speed Champion! (60) . Main Event: World of STARDOM Title Match: Challenger: KAIRI vs 17th Champion Mayu Iwatani © Pre-Match Promos: KAIRI: KAIRI always looked out for little sister Mayu, but needs to see the red belt version up close and personal, to trust that Mayu is still capable of raising up the standard of STARDOM. Mayu Iwatani: Whilst Mayu has always respected KAIRI, Mayu believes in her growth since STARDOM was placed firmly on her back, so as the icon, she is ready to continue to elevate STARDOM. Match Overview: Both competitors lock eyes from their respective corners, before Mayu walks to the middle of the ring offering a handshake. KAIRI responds by looking at the outstretched hand, tilting her head to the side and ponders. She then approached and fakes out a handshake, leading to three dodges of Mayu’s offence followed by a pose off. The story of the match centres around Mayu’s determination to make this third title run memorable, respectfully putting in extra work to counteract the technical skills of KAIRI. With KAIRI working Mayu’s neck to attempt to soften in up for her “Cutlass” (spinning backfist strike), Mayu proves that her neck is still the strongest in joshi! Mayu in turn targeted KAIRI’s midsection with her own brutal kicks, to ultimately hit the moonsault, which she does after delivering a Spanish fly to put KAIRI into position, before clambering up to the top rope to hit her picture-perfect finishing move. Mayu Iwatani (83) defeated KAIRI (80) in 25:23 by pinfall with a Moonsault. Mayu Iwatani makes defence number two of the World of Stardom title (83) . Show Closing Angle: Mayu barely has time to recover as one former best friend is replaced by another as Tam Nakano comes out to challenge Mayu for her red belt (79) . Show Grade: 81 Show Notes - I did book myself into a corner by having 2 mystery wrestlers revealed and 2 faction leaders monitoring the performance of their faction mates. Hopefully the tweaks to each story made them at least slightly unique. - Mayu vs Tam is a match that is standard procedure for a STARDOM diary, as no matter the story they will always knock it out of the park! - Huge show! Left us with our best show rating of the year so far and in fact show of the diary by two points, I’ll take that!

Strech Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 Hi all, Welcome back! Thanks for giving this diary another read! The content has all been successfully updated (Thank you Arlie & the Team!) But the Html code looks terrifying and the format isn't where it should be. So I'll have a play this week, then hopefully start to post the final 6 months of content + over the next couple of months. So forgive me whilst I try to dissect what is happening on this, from first glance it looks like phones will need to flipped to landscape to view diaries properly which is a shame! Thanks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
