World Wonder Ring STARDOM: Supernova

[Strech]

 

Memories – An AZM Character Focus p2

We see Queen’s Quest laying out on sunlounges, on a private beach, rented out by their leader KAIRI.

Saya is still trying to convince Miyu to be more adventurous, this time pointing to a pier in the distance, that would be a “fun” place to be diving into the ocean,

As Miyu reluctantly follows her, again looking for support from her other two faction mates, who seem preoccupied, AZM is left to catch up with their leader.

“Aren’t you nervous?” AZM asks

“About what, ohh of course imagine if I miss hitting the watermelon!” KAIRI jokes.

“I’m talking about Io’s return, leading the faction or frankly anything at the moment” the fierce rebuttal is returned.

“Woah relax, your time will come … I’m ready for my white belt shot, in life you shouldn’t sweat and worry about the small stuff”

AZM packs up turning around to remark “I miss the time when Io was in charge”

Leaving a justifiably miffed KAIRI to ponder her partners words

Show Notes
- Mayu & Skye Blue don’t work well as a team, hence the low rating

- So excited for the ladder match, as AZM & Starlight wrestle anyway every year, so this was in the back of my head at the start of the year! Facing Io Shirai for the white belt at the Year End Climax is a huge match too!

- I’m finding it tough to keep the other factions strong, given Oedo Tai’s two new unstoppable forces and ALFA’s name, all part of the fun though!

- Cosmic Angels vs ALFA is a great Goddesses title match, shame I can’t go more in depth in the build, but hoping for the best!

[Strech]

Thank you all for predicting, I hope you're enjoying this as we are leading into the last 2 weeks of the diary!
 

STARDOM Winter Warfare 2023 Preview
Saturday Week 4 October 2023



Main Event:




KAIRI vs. Io Shirai vs. Mayu Iwatani
Match Preview: In our main event, KAIRI, Io Shirai & Mayu Iwatani face off in a non-title thriple threat match.

The former “Threedom” having a dream match is something STARDOM fans can only dream about, as all 3 ladies are all former or current World & Wonder of STARDOM champions, who have each helped to build STARDOM into what it is today.



Semi Main:



AZM vs. Starlight Kid
Match Preview: AZM takes on Starlight Kid once again, this time in a ladder match for the right to face Io Shirai for the Wonder of STARDOM.

With a guaranteed singles match at the season finale on the line, both wrestlers will be giving it their all! AZM especially will be needing to keep her head on a swivel due to Starlight’s dominating insurance policies in Tora & Ruaka!



Match 5:





Cosmic Angels (Tam Nakano & Maya Yukihi) vs ALFA (Giulia & Suzu Suzuki) (c)
Match Preview: The Goddesses of STARDOM Titles are defended against Cosmic Angels, as ALFA’s Suzu Suzuki & Giulia defend against Tam Nakano & Maya Yuhiki.

Whilst Giulia & Tam have lagely stayed apart this year, they always seem to find their way back to each other, in what could easily steal the show.



Match 4:





Skye Blue vs. Natsupoi (c)

Match Preview: Natsupoi defends her SWA Title against Skye Blue in what could be her 3rd defence.

Skye will look to make the most of the opportunity to showcase her progression since arriving on excursion from AEW but Natsupoi has been phenomenal for STARDOM recently, going into this defence the heavy favourite.



Match 3:





STARS (Hazuki, Koguma, Saya Iida & Hanan) vs. Vermillion World (Syuri, Maika, Himeka & Yui Inihara)
Match Preview: Big 8 woman tag sees STARS take on Vermillion World, in which only FWC’s lack of close relationship and Vermillion Worlds recovery after losing the artist belts being the only half stories to progress.



Match 2:





Oedo Tai (Momo Watanabe & Ruaka) vs. ALFA (Thekla & MIRAI)

Match Preview: ALFA face Oedo Tai, as neither side can afford a loss, with arguably all 4 wrestlers needing some momentum to kick them on towards the final stretch of the diary.



Opening Match:




Queen's Quest (Saya Kamitani & Miyu Amasaki) vs. Oedo Tai - Devil Duo [Saki Kashima & Natsuko Tora]

Match Preview: Will Saya finally convince Miyu to fly? Against the experienced Devil Duo, they’ll have to make sure they are on top form to get anything out of this opening contest.



Pre-Show Match:




Pre. Brittany Bryant & Momo Kohgo vs. Cosmic Angels – Delicious (Mina Shirakawa & Unagi Sayaka)

STARDOM Winter Warfare 2023
Saturday Week 4 October 2023
Attendance: 17,000 People in Tohoku


Pre-show Match:

Brittany Bryant & Momo Kohgo vs. Cosmic Angels – Delicious (Mina Shirakawa & Unagi Sayaka)

Comic Angels – Delicious [Mina Shirakawa (47) & Unagi Sayaka (44)] defeated Momo Kohgo (38) and Brittany Bryant (31) in 7:46 when Unagi Sayaka submitted Brittany Bryant with a Gory Special (44).



Opening Match:

 Queen's Quest (Saya Kamitani & Miyu Amasaki) vs. Oedo Tai - Devil Duo [Saki Kashima & Natsuko Tora]

Pre-Match Promos:
Queen's Quest: Miyu still can’t promise some high flying drama, but can assure Saya that she will give her all tonight.

Oedo Tai: Saki is worried about her friend since Starlight fully took over, but she can’t seem to focus or talk to Natsuko like she used to.

Match Overview:
Miyu hesitating on the top rope was the difference maker in this one, with the Devil Duo able to squeak out the victory. Saki showed concern for her friend throughout the match, visibly upset at Tora’s losing battle to Starlight Kid’s darkness.

Oedo Tai - Devil Duo [Saki Kashima (59) & Natsuko Tora (58)] defeated Queen’s Quest [Saya Kamitani (63) and Miyu Amasaki (46)] in 11:48 when Natsuko Tora pinned Miyu Amasaki with a Marici (65).



Match 2

Match 2: Oedo Tai (Momo Watanabe & Ruaka) vs. ALFA (Thekla & MIRAI)
Pre-Match Promos:
Oedo Tai: Momo doesn’t really get proper responses from Ruaka, but as long as Ruaka keeps on winning, she doesn’t really care about her outside of the ring

ALFA: Thekla & MIRAI look prepared for a fight tonight as they look to prove themselves once again.

Match Overview:
Seeing Ruaka dominate the early goings inspired Momo to deliver her kicks with extra intensity, giving ALFA no choice then to attempt to come from behind, which ultimately they failed to do so.

Oedo Tai [Momo Watanabe (65) and Ruaka (35)] defeated ALFA [Thekla (44) and MIRAI (40)] in 10:58 when Ruaka pinned MIRAI with a Complete Shot (50).



Match 3:

STARS (Hazuki, Koguma, Saya Iida & Hanan) vs. Vermillion World (Syuri, Maika, Himeka & Yui Inihara)

Pre-Match Promos:
STARS: STARS look tired as they awkwardly can’t decide who will lead the promo. Hanan eventually steps up, promising change for the faction once they consistently start delivering in these multiperson lower card ppv matches.

Vermillion World: The Artists champs are impressed with Yui’s character development in training as hard as they do. Assurances of their standards being maintained tonight are shared by all.

Match Overview:
A clear breakdown in communication within FWC overshadows the resilient improvement in Wing Gori.

However, Vermillion World operate like a well-oiled machine, with their rookie newgen Yui holding her own next to the artist of STARDOM champions, allowing Vermillion World to pick up the win, interestingly over Koguma rather then a less experienced STARS stable mate…

Vermillion World [Syuri (72), Himeka (62), Maika (67) and Yui Inihara (29)] defeated STARS [Hazuki (67), Koguma (53), Saya Iida (48) and Hanan (37)] in 15:48 when Maika pinned Koguma with a Michinoku Driver II (61).



Match 4:

 SWA Title Match – 3rd Defence: Challenger Skye Blue vs 10th Champion Natsupoi (c)

Pre-Match Promos:
Skye Blue: Keen to prove everyone wrong, Skye asks everyone to pay attention to her

Natsupoi: Natsupoi seems distracted but attempts to hype herself up before assuring fans of another Poi-fect display

Match Overview:
The crowd could visibly see the frustration grow in the champions offence, as Skye Blue was able to provide a much tougher challenge then anyone expected!

Some brutal kicks almost gave Blue the surprise victory! However, the resilient Natsupoi recovers well from offensive move, ensuring that she has just enough energy to get to the top rope, to ensure another successful defence

Natsupoi defeated Skye Blue in 14:33 by pinfall with a Fairial Gift. Natsupoi makes defence number three of the SWA Undisputed World Women's title (60).



Match 5:

 Goddesses of STARDOM Title Match – 4th Defence: Challenger Cosmic Angels (Tam Nakano & Maya Yukihi) vs 24th Champion ALFA (Giulia & Suzu Suzuki) (c)

Pre-Match Promos:
Cosmic Angels: Tam is excited for this opportunity, as this could springboard Cosmic Angels back into the STARDOM Stratosphere, which Maya breaks to laugh and pat her head

ALFA: ALFA consider how best to display all of the titles in STARDOM, as they know Giulia will stand on top of the company at the end of the year. Giulia’s disgusted at Tam challenging their titles is obvious.

Match Overview:

Giulia refuses to shake hands compared to the other 3 competitors. Once Giulia sees Tam volunteer to start the match, she then turns her nose up and steps out of the ring allowing Suzuki to start the match.

We do see the highlights from all four competitors including a slap exchange between Tam & Giulia after they finally connect.

Ultimately Giulia’s choice to let Suzu pick up the majority of the match costs ALFA due to Suzu being unable to kick out of Tam’s Twilight Dream.

Giulia had plenty of time to jump in and break up the cover but as is the ALFA way, she entrusted Suzu to power out herself, costing them their titles.

Cosmic Angels [Tam Nakano (73) and Maya Yukihi (62)] defeated ALFA [Giulia (66) & Suzu Suzuki (67)] in 24:11 when Tam Nakano pinned Suzu Suzuki with a Twilight Dream. Tam Nakano and Maya Yukihi win the Goddesses of Stardom titles (74).

Angle: Tam celebrates with Yukihi! Tam makes a couple of attempts to name the tag team which clearly does not meet Maya’s satisfaction (“Super Dream” & “Ice Creams” earning chuckles from the crowd) before announcing to the crowd that they will agree a new Tag team name very shortly!

ALFA sulk to the back on their own two feet, bemoaning the loss of their titles (63)




Semi Main:

Wonder of STARDOM Number 1 Contendership - Ladder Match: AZM vs Starlight Kid

Pre-Match Promos:
AZM: AZM needs to win this opportunity, as she has been watching Starlight Kid & Io Shirai from afar, for completely different reasons.

Starlight Kid: Kid can’t think of a reason why she won’t win tonight, with her two supports by her side, a white belt match in her future is all but assured.

Match Overview:
AZM, in a special white with purple trim attire, is flanked by Saya Kamitani & Miyu Amasaki as her two supports, can only wait to be met by the Dark Sky Tiger flanked by her two almost zombified supports in Ruaka & Natsuko Tora.

A frantic affair where both wrestlers were able to demonstrate their Great chemistry, with the ladders around the ring only enhancing the damage they could inflict onto each other.

Towards the end of the match a ref bump causes chaos to break out! As Tora levels AZM with a clothesline, Ruaka chases Miyu & Saya up the ladder on the outside of the ring. Starlight orders Ruaka to guard the ladder keeping an eye on the two QQ supports, alongside ordering Tora to the announce desk on the opposite side of the ring to collect the second mask, to put on AZM.

As Tora walks purposely and puts her hand on the mask, Kamitani leaps off the top of the ladder wiping out herself & Ruaka. This leaves Miyu to watch an oblivious Tora stride purposely back to Starlight, intent on putting it on AZM then winning the contract.

Knowing she only has one shot at saving this match, Miyu steadies herself taking a shaky breath in before performing a twisting high angled frog splash which wipes out both Starlight & Tora.

This seems to wipe out Starlight and stun Tora enough for AZM to scratch and claw her way up to the top of the ladder in the ring, becoming the new number one contender!

AZM (71) defeated Starlight Kid (66) in a Ladder match in 22:50 when AZM retrieved the contract. AZM is the new number 1 contender to the Wonder of STARDOM Title (75).

Angle: AZM Wins! She embraces Miyu & Saya as she claims victory in this latest clash between her & Kid. Starlight is carried out by Tora & Ruaka (56).





Main Event:

KAIRI vs Io Shirai vs Mayu Iwatani

Pre-Match Promos:
KAIRI: KAIRI was impressed with her factions gutsy performances tonight, she promises to represent them and Queen’s Quest with pride, as their leader.

Io Shirai: Io is intrigued with this match up, as she wants to see Mayu’s development up close and personal, alongside see how her approved Queen’s Quest leader in KAIRI steps up to the big stage.

Mayu Iwatani: Mayu is focussed and ready for this match, thanks to Hazuki lending her some hair ties and Hanan supporting her by bringing her red belt.

Match Overview:
The slow built nature to this one helped the crowd to decompress after the last high drama affair but also get fully invested in this absolute masterclass in joshi puroresu.

With a finisher spam middle leading to nail biting near falls, it was clear that despite the lack of belts being on the line, the victory in this main event match had a deep meaning to each competitor.

The two one pairings that occurred throughout the match between each combination of the trio did tease the fans yearning for even a possibility of a reunion for the trio but ultimately Mayu was able to best withstand the pressure, fighting through the pain from underneath to rock Io with a drop kick, then dodge the KAIRI attack to hit a desperation Superkick followed by the iconic Moonsault to collect the three count.

Mayu Iwatani (83) defeated KAIRI (81) and Io Shirai (76) in 28:02 when Mayu Iwatani pinned KAIRI with a Moonsault (80).

Show Closing Angle: Mayu closes the show by promising, as the Icon, to continue to lead STARDOM into the future. Any hopes of a Threedom reciliation are thwarted as KAIRI & Io roll out of either side of the ring, leaving Mayu to sign us off (68).



Show Grade: 79



Show Notes
- Looking to expand the season finale with some non title singles matches, interested in anyone’s thoughts but I do have a couple of ideas!

- Interested to hear what you thought of the AZM vs Kid match, given the overbooked nature and finish potentially taking the attention off the two wrestlers in the match, but hopefully it made sense and was a nice story, as I’ve had it in the back of my head for ages now aha!

- Also any team names for Tam Nakano & Maya Yukihi I would really appreciate. Granted I haven’t been able to build their characters due to the format of the diary, but something to do with Ice, Snow or something that touches on Tam trying to act cool next to someone she respects but the dorky cuteness always bubbles over, would be awesome to hear!

- A strong show as shown below, with us now ramping up the build for the year end climax show!

AZM vs SLK is Stardom's premier rivalry imo. Good to see even TEW recognizes this.

Show Notes
- Oedo Tai duo of Saki & Straight should be fun to see,

- Yui scoring so low is a little worrying as she hasn’t pushed past the future sub 30s scores after a year like expected, although she did start from a low base

- Double MIRAI praise from Fuka & Tam is curious given MIRAI’s lack of pop gain

3 straight L's to Natsupoi

Kinda although at least she isn't being pinned / the third was a time limit draw. She definitely isnt the focus focus this month, but her & Mayu seem to have a rough month!

 

Thank for your support though, i always appreciate comments to shape up my booking!

Mayu doesn't bother me as much bc she's punched her ticket to the big time already, brother! She is essentially bulletproof at this point and just came out of a huge win over the other two icons. Love me some Mayu, but she can eat a loss or two and come out unscathed.

Poi, I just want her to never lose again!

True Natsupoi has exceeded my wildest dreams in terms of match ratings and becoming a featured player!

 

Its a skill I definately need to work on reacting to who people like to push them more!

Show Notes
- Iron sharpened Iron in match 3 as MaiHime pick up a huge win to prep for their tournament entry

- Mai Hoshizuki is still working through an injury, so Delicious take the last spot of the factions in the tournament

- Big 8 man of four of the other qualified teams led to a great rating considering and hopefully an interesting field to contend with!





Just the 5 to pick from this time … I will say X & XX are for one night only deals, so I can assure you they aren’t winning … Hope your all excited for the final week of STARDOM from me!
