I keep forgetting how fickle some STARDOM fans can be. A day or two ago, some were getting up in arms about how we were getting Bea vs Toni at the upcoming Kourakuen Hall show. They thought it was a waste of resources and time. And STARDOM announced last night the match was being changed due to circumstances out of their control (read: WWE likely not wanting Bea to go over or draw with Toni). And now those same exact people are complaining about how WWE stole a DREAM MATCH from them. Oh yeah, and those same fans were getting incredibly pissy that Toni had the NXT UK Women's Championship with her during the press conference. I'd go as far to say the matches they were replaced with are much better. Kagetsu vs Toni Storm, and Hazuki vs Bea Priestly. Also the guy they replied to got called out pretty much: https://twitter.com/we_are_stardom/status/1126063927345831936 DarkstarIV fucked around with this message at 15:47 on May 8, 2019 |

Chris James 2 posted:*WWE pulls a match* how dare people say WWE pulled a match!!! No, those same fans were bitching about how this match should have never happened, and now that its been pulled, they are all complaining about it being pulled. Also in terms of storyline, there's a lot more to be invested in with the replacement matches in Hazuki vs Bea, and Toni vs Kagetsu. Hazuki beat Bea in the Cinderella tournament and goaded her into placing the red belt on the line in this upcoming match. And Toni has had Kagetsu's number for awhile now.

They could have done the lazy Gabe gently caress finish where Toni gets DQ'd but gets to do all her cool moves and gets to yell at the fans on the mic about how glad she never has to wrestle for stardom(a dumb promotion) ever again and she can't wait for these people booing to line up pay for the privilege of seeing her in a proper ring like nxt uk(a smart promotion). she will use hand gestures to emphasize the parentheses.

What would have happened: Time limit draw, AEW fans complain about how WWE wouldn't let Bea go over Toni, WWE fans complain about how weak Toni looked, and STARDOM fans get pissed off at yet another time limit draw.

PURE-J recently enacted a ban on the traditional headgear that wrestlers have worn since the beginning of JWP 27 years ago, in order to appeal to their key scared and horny young man audience. you have to believe there's a very long way to go until these things Are no longer en vogue, let alone unacceptable.

Just usually being sold by the wrestlers themselves so the money is going to them as opposed to Stardom where it's going to Rossy (I assume and hope they at least get a cut). Stardom is the worst but not the only promotion appealing to the horny fans by any means.

When I heard what Kris Wolf was getting paid for her Stardom shots, I was pretty appalled. Stardom, despite all the nice things I've said about its wrestling, has a ton scuzzy stuff going down.

Join me in supporting Marvelous. Their streaming service is cheaper, Chigusa Nagayo's side gig is rescuing stray dogs instead of creep books of 13 year olds and Takumi Iroha is the coolest wrestler in joshi and also a massive dork. It's amazing.

Their own site? https://freshlive.tv/marvelous I also want to throw a recommendation in the direction of Kaori Yoneyama's promotion YMZ. It's a low-budget comedy indie that draws 60 people to its shows but still goes to the effort of maintaining an English language streaming service. They recently had a middle aged woman with no wrestling experience debut against deathmatch wrestler Isami Kodaka and it was fantastic. Asuka (not WWE ASUKA) shows up all the time and puts on high quality work rate matches as well. The people behind the scenes are all really nice too. https://filmuy.com/ymz GEORGE W BUSHI fucked around with this message at 18:25 on May 9, 2019 |

LaToya Ferguson's Encyclopedia of Women's Wrestling is out now and I'm enjoying it. It features 100 profiles of prominent women in the industry, past and present, and by its own admission is no means comprehensive. It's written in a very factual, uneditorializing manner, possibly to a fault at points (one could argue the Fabulous Moolah gets off lighter than she should), but it's committed to the professional stance.

So I watched AEW All In, and really enjoyed the women's four-way match, which in turn led me down the rabbit hole of seeking out Tessa Blanchard and Britt Baker matches on YouTube. I'm basically an instant fan of both women after their AEW match, Britt in particular because she has similar facial features to an ex-girlfriend, which makes watching her matches a little surreal at times.  But that said, I really think she's an excellent wrestler and I look forward to seeing more of her work when AEW launches on TNT.

At last night’s EVE show they announced Jamie Hayter/Utami Hayashishita for Wrestle Queendom at York Hall... only to do a match that lead to them adding Nina Samuels to the match which makes it a worse match in my eyes. Perhaps this is them wanting to protect whoever doesn’t win the title by adding Nina to eat the pin but who really knows. Main event is still Viper/KLR but both are done as of them so either they’re vacating the title or they’re doing some other gimmick to add someone to that match.

Nina’s decent enough she won’t bog the match down but her inclusion kinda obscures the Stardom history between Jamie and Utami. Jame debuted for stardom and gave a command performance on all fronts only to get overshadowed by Utami’s rise.

was lucky enough to see Sareee wrestle twice today (she beat Aja Kong for the Diana title and then showed up as a mystery opponent for Rin Kadokura at Marvelous). She's really a contender for one of the best out there and it sucks that she's in a promotion that releases two DVDs a year in terms of output. Make sure to watch the matches Sendai Girls are putting out with her in them because she always brings her A game. She's facing Chihiro Hashimoto in a title vs title match at some point.

I was at yesterday's TJPW house show in Osaka and Nodoka vs. Misao was pretty surprising! Has TJPW had a single chairshot since Hyper Misao vs. Jun Kasai? Because it has definitely had a lot more now, at least as far as I could tell from where I was sitting. Ended in a no-contest after Nodoka tried choking Misao out with her own cane, and Yuki holding her back while she screamed her head off at Misao. If this is where they're taking both women's angles, they could do a lot worse. I'm a bigger Nodoka fan than most but even that aside it was just cool to see major story movement at one of the house shows we get in Osaka. TJPW's always fun here, but the last time it felt that important was when Rika made Miyu tap out leading up to her title match. So it was also real exciting when they announced they'll actually have the Princess Cup winner's title shot against Shoko Nakajima here in September.

Aja Kong, Yuka Sakazaki & Emi Sakura vs. Hikaru Shida, Riho & Ryo Mizunami has been added to Double or Nothing and I know (thanks Cavauro!) it's wild that two wrestlers I regularly see wrestle in front of 60 people in a room too small to hold a wrestling ring are going to Vegas to wrestle in front of 11000 people.
