Oh well. Thanks just the same, maybe I'll try again later.

Did you make sure that you put the expiration date of your card as YYMM instead of MMYY? That's a common mistake people make because they're used to putting their card in as month/year.

Is there a way to buy/watch Stardom papes outside Japan? It's been noted before that Stardom World doesn't have them and I don't see a way to buy a replay for any of them

Just do what I do. Refuse to buy the ppv when it airs, go to Twitter and spoil all the results and all the amazing poo poo that happened on the show, go to purchase the show and then spend 5 minutes on the payment screen convincing yourself not to do it.

Reading about previous years' results, it's funny to me that most 5*GP winners lose their title shots. It almost makes the whole tournament moot if the end result is usually just "lol nah".

I still have no idea why any promotion doing this kind of tournament has their actual champion in the tournament if the grand prize is a title shot. Like what happens if the champion wins? And yes I know wrestling is pre-determined but I've always thought it's weird

I know it gives the champion something to do instead of just sit around for months waiting for a winner and Syuri has put some women over big time

I really hope Giulia wins because she's my favorite in Stardom but I honestly don't care who wins because everyone at the top of each block would be a deserving winner

This 5*GP has been an absolute joy to watch and my Stardom World sub has been totally worth the money

Not really a Japanese wrestling thing. An American heel would do that but Japanese wrestling is all about getting stronger and facing the best competition to raise the value of the belt.

Konosuke Takeshita won last year's D-Oh as champ and he gave the title shot to BJW guest Yuji Okabayashi, who tied with Take during the tournament and was his only blemish

Maho Kurone did an Instagram live last night and though she said not to record/upload it anywhere else, it's probably kosher to say that she's happy and healthy now, she left because she had a hard time keeping up with the pressure as TJPW put on bigger and bigger events, and Koda/the company were extremely supportive w/r/t her mental health issues as she transitioned away from wrestling. No plans to return to wrestling but she looked good. She also said she works at a hookah bar now and spent the whole Q&A session vaping

i have decided to start putting effort into watching "Stardom" after big dave chastised a fan online. my favorite wrestler is star light kid. could someone please answer me some quick questions:

Red > White? Yes?
High speed = Different rule set or is it just code for This match will be a spot fest (compliment)
Oedo Tai = Bad girls group, STARS = Good girls group?

Thanks for all your amazing help!

Yes
I think the time limit is set at 15 minutes.
Yes

Longer answer: Red and White are more like 1A and 1B than other promotion's primary/secondary belts

God's Eye are also pure faces, just not as flashy. Cosmic Angels are glamorous faces. Queen's Quest and Donna del Mondo are faces, but more arrogant and aloof.

OedoTai rules. They're a dark circus of misfits and weirdos and I love every single one of them. My favorite OedoTai member is easily Momo Watanabe because she's the most blatant cheater and a huge piece of poo poo and I love her to death for it

100% agreed! I just finished the finals and it was great al around despite having the winner spoiled when I was looking for information about tie breaks.

Overall I may have enjoyed the FSGP more than the G1 this year. The highs weren't quite as high, but there was no Bad Luck Fale or Chase Owens in the field so the lows weren't nearly as low either.

Sounds like there may be some more English commentary shows on the horizon which I'm looking forward to.
