After losing the Artist of Stardom Championship, Mina Shirakawa announced that she is going back to wrestle in the US for the time being. With how over she was during her AEW run earlier this year it was only a matter of time tbh. Expecting her to be scooped up permanently as soon as she’s contractually allowed to be Oh yea between the current state of the yen and stateside companies now being more open to bringing Joshi and the success of those Joshi's that have come before them that more and more of them are looking to jump stateside if not permanently but much more often. It unfortunately sucks to lose talent and atleast right now it seem's AEW is benefiting way more from that relationship currently than STARDOM is.

So this is happening. Basically someone got the BRILLIANT idea to stick Mayu and Saya Ida in a haunted apartment. Which can be purchased to watch here when it goes live www.openrec.tv/ppv/zekkyo_240901

IT''S NOT A PHASE MOM!!
Love the new theme hell everything about the presentation is great even though Saya still feels like she is just acting out a college theater course.

Lots of great matches at the 5 Star. Mei/Tomoka and SLK/Syuri delivered.
AZM/Momo, Maika/Poi and Mayu/Tam were my top three, though. That top rope destroyer from AZM was insane. My girl Maika always delivers (not sure about that new gear, though) and the finish was also sick. Can't decide if I liked Maika/Poi or Mayu/Tam more...

Saya I GET IT and I respect it that you so desperately want your love back that you have resorted to trying to look like her idol.

I've been feeling a lot of the New Japan booking influence on STARDOM from the focus on a stable that cheats all the time to the overstuffed four block format for the tournament. I've enjoyed the Grand Prix so far but it's a huge step down from 2023. I know the likes of MIRAI, Giulia, Utami, Mina, and Mariah not being in has something to do with it but there's still a ton of talent there.

The 4th night of the grand prix was pretty much all bangers but it was pretty much a ppv without it being a ppv and was probably the best STARDOM show as a whole in awhile where top to bottom it just rocked and also being in a packed Korakuen hall was huge. Momo being the first one out was a definet surprise. But yea you are really starting to see how STARDOM is feeling less like STARDOM (and this isn't something just happening this has been ongoing for awhile now) but now since they are officially the sister promotion the obvious NJPW tropes are really finding their way into the promotion.

Agree 100% on it feeling like the sister promotion. I'll be watching/reviewing night 4 tonight and throughout tomorrow.

The finish to AZM/Mayu was sick. AZM with the Canadian Driver Tiger Destroyer or whatever the f*** it was, lol.

They defanged H.A.T.E far quicker than I thought they would.
Tora lost the red belt and they lose their chance to win the five star.

I love Maika but I'm a bit disappointed. Wanted and thought Kamitani would win.
Thought Maika vs Mayu was the best match on the show.
