Power Windows posted:I cannot help but wonder how much of the STARDOM budget goes toward masks, especially since SLK began handing them out to her opponents. I see a lot of those masks on sale at Toudokan for crazy prices so they could be doing the BUSHI thing. Rossy just loves Lucha so much though, so he'd probably eat the loss like he used to for his self-promoted Lucha shows with a bunch of 50-year-olds he did before COVID.

https://twitter.com/konwatjpwoshi/status/1470360736866369536?t=lJC5GWTtuWa79aWspxrUdw&s=19 SAKI is launching a new promotion Color's, which presumably will be a landing point for any AWG wrestlers who wish to continue wrestling instead of acting. Miyuki Takase thankfully said she will continue wrestling. Act Yasukawa wrestled what might be her last professional wrestling match (as opposed to action scene in a drama)

I don’t know where SLK sells her stuff, but the QQ girls use the same store that Ultimo does and I saw a Momo entrance mask on their website for close to a grand. I don’t think anyone is getting all that back from the store, but nice little hustle to get a mask made and then after a match to make back probably double what it cost.

Utami vs. Syuri at Stardom Dream Queendom , it's now a double title match for the World and SWA championships! [img src="https://i.redd.it/zq1oe7qh63581.jpg"] ═══════════════ Things got more interesting, and big match got even bigger. This match can't be draw, and Utami already has red belt for over 13 months, but if Syuri wins she will hold 3 titles simultaneously, and thats a lot even for Stardom standarts ( keeping in mind, how many belts Stardom has)

Doesn't really add anything to me. SWA title is purposeless without being able to bring in westerners. Should repurpose it as the UWF title or just shelve it altogether.

I've been sent a blurry image of the bottom half of the article and it's titled "12.29 Announcement of Leaving SEAdLINNNG. Where is the treasure of joshi pro wrestling going?" which does not sound like a retirement. Maybe now she's fully reconciled with Rossy he wants a veteran presence with a proven track record of training in Stardom.

The whole thing felt like a two woman show between her and Taiyo so idk. Their website has three corporate positions listed. Nanae is the Representative Director, Natsuki Taiyo is the Senior Managing Director and AiriDX is the Promotion Manager and TikTok Producer.

Considering that takes you back to 1991 that says more about the voter pool historically than it does about anything else; since there were clearly things in the 90s that should have gotten nominations. Then again these are the hyper political awards that have stopped even reluctantly trying to give things to the second biggest promotion in Japan so who knows

Gake also did the Miyacoco birthday produce show which is still one of my favorites. They did karaoke and then bled everywhere and did some more karaoke.

Osaka Super Woman Great War is this saturday, here's card: https://twitter.com/we_are_stardom/status/1471707481969926144?s=20 ═══════════════ Loser leaves unit match is really intresting, what ever happens that will change company's landscape. Maybe they will go that rotate where someone betrays their faction (like in TCS vs OT last year). Since as far as I can see that's not elimination maych, which means that neither Momo or SLK had to take a pin.

Yeah pretty much. It's a normal elimination match if any of the other members get pinned but if SLK or Momo get beaten then their team loses the match and they have to switch factions.

FatBagzJones posted:Osaka Super Woman Great War is this saturday, here's card: So, to quote the Stardom website through Google Translate: "The match ends when Momo Watanabe, the captain, or Kid loses. The defeated captain Momo or Kid forcibly leaves the unit and moves to one unit. If another player loses in the elimination format, he / she loses the right to play and is sent off." So yeah, it's an elimination match, except that if SLK or Momo are pinned the match is over no matter how many of the team is left.

I was listening to the Jumping Bomb Audio podcast when out for a walk today & it was the year end awards episode. Anyway, it's inspired me to put together my Top 10 joshi matches of the year so here you go
That was hard. Can't believe I didn't find a place for Yamashita vs Itoh. It actually was #10 & then I remember the loving uncomfortably brutal Takeda Suzu match & yeah. Also surprised that Syuri vs Momo didn't make it. I think my takeaway is that 5 Star GP was a tour with a lot of amazing wrestling, even if as I watched it it felt like it dragged on for a couple of eternities just because there were so many shows. Also SEAdLINNNG's back half of the year was less essential than their first half which was a shame but understandable between Aniki being gone & Nanae's personal problems & Yoshiko being out recovering. Also, Best Friends vs Oni Ni Kanabo from January's SEAd show ruled & i wish it could've been in my top 10. A fitting retirement match from Sareee. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Dec 17, 2021 |

I'm booing your well researched list, as it doesn't feature Arisa Nakajima and Nanae Takahashi vs Momo Watanabe and Saya Iida from SEAdLINNNG's February 10th show. I've not gone back and watched it since, but in my MOTYC spreadsheet it's tied with Rina vs Hikari and Miyu vs Maki 2 as my highest rated Joshi matches this year

That's on the bubble as well, I had it on ****1/2, which would actually put it above Itoh/Yamashita & Oni Ni Kanabo vs Best Friends. So it's probably #12 or something. Same as the GAEAism 6 Man tag which was loving baller, Sendai Girls vs Marvelous. Lotta good poo poo. Also Mayu vs Yoshiko loving ruled too. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Dec 18, 2021 |

I wonder if the Momo bird thing unmasks today. I've heard it's Mirai which would be a weird direction to take her in but she wanted to do something different I guess. Ice Ribbon think Thekla is Stardom bound, and she's a pretty good fit for Oedo Tai so that main event could be where you debut her too SG Bamboo posted:Oh poo poo I didn't notice Mio Momono vs Big Hash from Sendai Girls' July 11th show, that's also in the top tier of Joshi this year That's still my straight up MOTY. Can't believe I got to see that, Ryo/Asuka and Nanae/Arisa all on the same day. A very good 7/11

Would be weird to do that and not be a part of the Sumo Hall card. I'm thinking they might be holding off until the Korakuen shows at the beginning of the year. Similar to how WWE and NJPW would wait until after their big shows of the year to shake things up.
