Sendai Girls announced their talent for the UK show during intermission today. If you were hoping for a lot of Japanese talent outside the core roster then I'm sorry to disappoint you because they're only bringing Aiger outside the main four.

I'll admit part of me was really hoping for a Yuna upset but I already have a ticket to the Osaka September show and I'm not gonna complain about seeing a Shoko/Mizuki title match live.

If you were hoping for a lot of Japanese talent outside the core roster then I'm sorry to disappoint you because they're only bringing Aiger outside the main four. the stuff I've seen doesn't mention Aiger but names a few of the local people on the card and its sort of who you'd expect: Keller Kelly who did that brief tour in Japan last year but is officially WWE; but also Valkyrie (Irish wrestler who's done wXw and a bunch of OTT), Kay Lee Ray and Martina who pops up literally everywhere. So basically its sort of what I expected: a British women's show with the Sendai talent on top - assuming that they don't add anyone else which, well, if they were going to they'd have announced it I guess.

IceAgeComing posted:I always come from a position where if there isn’t a formal announcement it isn’t happening so I’m sceptical about the idea of TAKA working with Stardom - although if it happens it’d be pretty loving cool! Utami and Rossy did in fact show up today and the match is happening at the second JTO Korakuen. Also TAKA's second joshi rookie Tomoka Inaba challenged Minoru Suzuki because apparently Utami is easy mode for these girls.

Looking forward to that - always great when Stardom people get to work in other places and it’s kind of appropriate that Utami’s first Japanese match outside Stardom should be against a seemingly very talented rookie in like her third match. If they keep putting women in prominent positions then I’ll be a big fan of them: at least they are doing it properly.

I mean that’s the match I’d book with the talent they’re bringing in and the stip I’d have as well: they both had a good match at Eve last year and they seem to have good chemistry plus, like, you can’t book that match and not have it be No DQ if it’s a one time only deal.

Marvelous are doing another set of pro tests at their show on 22nd July. For those who don't know what the pro test entails: it depends on the company but generally it works as a final exam to determine whether someone is ready to debut as a pro wrestler. Most companies do these behind closed doors and their generally secretive so we only hear if someone passes and not about failures: Stardom put Utami's on Stardom World before they switched the site and lost their old archive and it was an interesting watch. Marvelous, however, do theirs at the start of some of their shows as basically a pre-show bonus. Based on the last ones to air (they have one on YouTube which was from June last year; was the third and final try for Mikoto Shindo and Mei Hoshizuki who both passed, plus the first try from their other rookie Maria who struggles significantly through the whole thing and failed; only to pass second time) its pretty drat gruelling: starting with a million squats (didn't count the exact number but they're going for seven minutes straight at like one every second or two so you can probably work it out), then various other exercises, then a series of rolls, cartwheels, flips and basic gynmastics type stuff that you use a lot in wrestling; then a series of taking bumps, doing dropkicks to no one and running the ropes and after all of that rather exhausting stuff... a series of shoot grappling/wrestling exhibitions against senior members of the roster. These are total shoots: people do fail them; but it just works out to be a clever way of getting their rookies a little over before they debut. Plus considering the quality of their rookies since they started the process clearly works!

I watched my first two joshi matches this year. SAKI and Saori Anou vs. Ayumi Hayashi and Momo Tani from Act'wres Girlz in May seemed like a real average match, though I liked Saori Anou's gimmick work. Tam Nakano vs. Arisa Hoshiki in Stardom on 6/16 was a great match on the lower end of my MOTYC line. Looking forward to checking more stuff out when the G1 allows.

Tam is one of my fave Joshis because she's tiny and cute but will also bust out exploding poo poo if you test her. Not really sure about her singing tho.

I really like Tam & Arisa. Both looked like great workers with charisma & fire. I felt like Hayashi and Tani were both really bland and uninteresting, and that SAKI and Anou weren't going all out, despite it being on a list of the best matches of the year by Joshi City.

I’m in full-on tournament frenzy right now due to the G1. Do any of the Joshi promotions have an annual big tournament? Could be round robin or something else, basically just a tournament that’s on the level of G1 in terms of importance and workrate.

As far as round robins go, Stardom's 5 Star Grand Prix will start right after the G1. There's also Catch the WAVE but since the reboot there's been no sign of the WAVE Network so we only have random shows uploaded to niconico. There's the Tokyo Princess Cup every year when it comes to knockout tournaments.

I've been so far out of the loop on STARDOM lately but the 5*GP is the perfect time to get back into things. Last year was my first one and it ruled.
