I just realized that Kagetsu has her work cut out for her when she faces Jenny Rose.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kagdZqrhMk

For reference, Jenny Rose has been wrestling for 8 years. And is still a worse wrestler than most of the STARDOM rookies division (actual children).



Her cagematch rating isn't very good either.

I looked over her stats and she really doesn't wrestle enough? 2017 saw Jenny wrestled only 16 times whereas Britt Baker and Priscilla Kelly both worked 40+ matches. Probably due to injury but her overall matches per year sits in the high 20s low 30s range

For those who don't follow STARDOM (which probably isnt many people at this point), Hana Kimura and Tam Nakano (the two girls on the right, with the rice) decide its lunch time in the middle of a press conference. On the left you have Queen's Quest, which is pretty much STARDOM's version of Evolution or a no fun allowed faction. The fact that Queen's Quest is corpsing so hard shows that Oedo Tai was great (they are still cool, but now that they lost Tam, they lost a bit of their shine). That includes Io Shirai, who starts to grin, but quickly realizes she's corpsing and switches to a visibly pissed off face.

Also to give you some insight into how serious Queen's Quest is supposed to be, have Io Shirai beating the hell out of Hiromi(?) with the lasso Hiromi was carrying around.

The right side of the bracket has the potential to have a LOT of WMOTYCs.

Also Hana's match may not be taking place during a STARDOM show. Only HZK/Mayu and Kagetsu/Jenny are advertised for STARDOM shows. Hana may be flown out for her match. :shrug:

Also someone on Resetera joked about the only reason ROH partnered with STARDOM is so they could have their talent look strong while jobbing out the STARDOM talent. (Since NJPW jobs out ROH talent) :v:

Also I am real sad that HZK is probably being knocked out early. She isn't a GREAT ring worker by any stretch (she's actually pretty average most of the time), but she's still leagues better than most ROH talent, but Mayu is going to beat her so that she (Mayu) can put over Deonna.

Rossy won't play ball unless his girls look strong so expect Kelly Klein vs Kagestu for the final. Which is a pretty fuckin strong match up.

Peep the brackets. If they do the quarter finals on ROH shows, they'll have to fly out STARDOM talent. If they're budget conscious they'll do the quarters and finals the same night. Rossy gets his people on ROH TV, either taking the thing or at least making sure there's some good bust rear end matches that probably save the night from being v.blech.

I don't. I had hoped it would be Britt Baker. But like with the Mae Young Classic finishing dental school is her first priority and limits her availability.

As much as I want to agree, its ROH, and its very likely none of the STARDOM girls make it past the second round. Delirious is really lovely when it comes to booking, so I can see them loving over an unwitting/oblivious STARDOM.

Regardless, no wonder Io Shirai avoided this tournament. I remember hearing she was none too pleased with the quality of the WOH division, and this is probably why. She probably wanted to avoid almost getting murdered by Mandy again. :v:

Rossy also let Delirious talk for way too long about this tournament at a Stardom show I was at. And Delirious was sitting front row the whole time so it was super distracting and I think he made his stupid gimmick noises. I'm really not a fan so I might have imagined that last part to justify my dislike for him though.

He also yelled "hey, white guy!" right in my face on his way into the show and he wasn't wearing his mask so he wasn't in character.

The semifinals are two nights before wrestlemania, and the finals the night before, if i recall.

It was posted elsewhere, but there are a bunch of changes coming to the STARDOM roster soon.

Hiromi Mimura will be retiring (she was a low to mid carder, mainly a comedy act), Saki Kashima will be returning (she used to be a part of STARDOM, but left for 5 years), K Chan Gang Baby will be leaving (they were part of the opening ceremony for every show with Fuka, who is also retiring due to pregnancy), and three debuts will also happen. Nao Yamaguchi (gravure model), Aiko (not much is known about her other than she is still in high school, and has been training the longest of the three), and Natsumi Apache, who is the daughter of Mari Apache.

Hiromi retiring is a shock because I figured she'd be the one to keep going well into her 40s.

Nao Yamaguchi would be a good pairing with Tam Nakano providing she knows which way the violence goes.

jfc I remember when Natsumi Apache was an infant ringside at AAA.
