Watching the Takadanobaba Stardom show and I don't think I've ever seen a bigger burial in the company than Giulia did to Unagi Sayaka. Geez, I know she's not good but that's way worse than even any rookie/vet match I've seen. Completely no sells her on 4 separate occasions to the point she looks amused as how weak this girl is, even no selling a bodyslam attempt like a 300+ pound giant would to a comedy jobber. After mounting and repeatedly slapping her, she taunts her, lets her get up, no sells one last forearm and casually puts her in a basic sleeper hold causing Sayaka to pass out.

Giulia completely buried her in her ShuPro column afterwards basically saying how TJPW training must suck compared to Stardom training (which was funny cos Giulia is an Ice Ribbon product but whatever).

What's with the TJPW/Stardom bad blood I hear about every now and then? Can't tell if it's fan-exaggerated or not. When a lot of girls ended up leaving TJPW, I know Yuka Sakazaki said something along the lines of "If you don't want to be here, leave!" although Mina Shirakawa is still on great terms with a lot of the girls on the TJPW roster, Natsupoi seemed to burn that bridge all the way down

Here's a tweet about that tournament. You know, the one involving a bunch of Joshis including Maki Itoh and Mei Suruga. You know, the one that has its heats sometime next week and its finals in the first weekend in March. Oh, not that one. The TJPW tag tournament! https://twitter.com/ddtpro_eng/status/1360096172472295425

Something something Mei Suruga isn't in the Tag tournament. Looking forward to seeing Endo again even if they're for sure losing R1, i'm continually marvelling at how good she is this quick

I don't think it's too serious but I don't expect them working together at any point either. Stardom are the most notable promotion not represented in the AEW tournament which could be reflection of the bad blood between then and TJPW or could just be a reflection of the fact that Shida probably booked the thing and loving hates Stardom.

(She's also best friends with Syuri who's signed there so idk) Still very possible that someone in STARDOM rubbed her the wrong way, Shida's from the same era as the Shirai Sisters/Makoto/Syuri are and they were all pretty close friends. I don't think Makoto's ever done STARDOM since Emi split either (Which really held her back, because she's still working indies)

I don't think Stardom not being booked in the AEW tourney has anything to do with any bad blood. Pretty much everyone booked in the tourney is either something they used or someone related to someone they used with the exception of Rin Kadokura who was the only real surprise. Even Asuka/Veny was someone I felt they would use eventually with how much she wanted to wrestle in America.

RealFoxy posted:I don't think it was ever an Io issue, that seemed to stem off Io having a rebellious phase when she started dating NOSAWA and got into big trouble coming back from Mexico (Which is a HUGE story in and out of itself). Asuka and Io haven't interacted much in the WWE but Io and Mio did before Io signed/Mio retired briefly so that's got to be cleared up by now. Is Mio wrestling again? I thought she took time off with her kid then started doing referee stuff. While Chikara has turned out to be  behind the scenes, I still love the joshi heavy cards they did and do miss Mio in the ring. She honestly seemed to 'get it' in front of the American crowd more than some of the others.

Fun fact: Mio's retirement tour featured Ryo Mizunami, Shida, and a sixteen year old VENY/ASUKA currently involved in AEW. It also featured Hana Kimura's mother and Fujimoto who had a MOTYC this month.

She is still retired but did step in for 3 matches last summer when someone for Ice Ribbon got hurt. But she did wrestle on the Final Yokohama Bunka show where Suzu won the Infinity title and there was the bonkers Risa Sera Rina Yamashita match

A lot of people have heat with Stardom (and Rossy in particular) over various things: what exactly the issue Shida might have with them could be anything. Might be Triple Tails related; Ice Ribbon don't like them either (the Giulia thing in particular for obvious reasons; before that they had issues when they were trying to book the Thunder Rock vs Best Friends match which never happened and which led to them bringing Emi back for one night) and Shida was one of the people that retained links to both sides of that split so that might have played a role as well; who knows. You have to keep in mind that Stardom and New Japan have totally different management teams: so a partnership with one does not mean that you have one with the other although it might make things easier. Stardom at the moment clearly aren't interested in their international audience and are focusing on growing domestically and with their roster size, while big for Joshi, still not being at the point where they can really afford to lose big name people for prolonged periods to other companies I suspect that any sort of partnership in the medium term is unlikely - especially if AEW were as controlling over how Riho was booked as the Observer reported they were.

Don't think we'll ever know really - when Natsumi Maki left AWG to go to TJPW everyone assumed that she had big heat with Yumiko Hotta over it and on the first show after she was pulled because they learned she was leaving to go to TJPW apparently Hotta was... not very nice about the way that she left and spoiled that she was the X on the TJPW 1/4 show that year but this year she ended up going out for dinner with Hotta on Hotta's birthday and that might be a good indication that the assumptions we make on this might be wrong.

Asking this because the first page didn't answer the question but how does the Wrestle Universe subscription work? Because this bit is confusing me: So...if I sign up, I get first month free, and I pay 900 yen for month two, right? But there's that 1-4 thing, so I guess that means it's 900 yen for the first four months of payment? Is there a different price? Also is this one of those "one month from subscribing date" or "we go by months, so if I sign up now I get half of February" kind of deal? And how easy is it to unsubscribe and then resubscribe? I wanted to get on it for yesterday's TJPW show but was busy so I thought I'd catch back up on the weekend, but it's a bit pricey in my currency to maintain the sub for long periods of time

You get the first month free but then its 900¥/month. They charge by calendar months so if you sign up now your free month would only last to the 1st March. Very easy to unsubscribe: and unlike other Japanese services it keeps your account so if you want to resubscribe its a case of logging back in and re-enabling the subscription. You only get the one free month though.

I thought that was something that Natsumi Maki said on her way out the door, to the effect of "Everyone there just wants to hang out and be friends" I could be wrong there or misread who it came from. To which Yuka responded obliquely in her magazine column saying that she was proud of her company and the work they all put in to help each other and improve and they certainly won't beg anyone to stay who doesn't want to be there. For as silly as she is as a performer, Yuka is extremely serious when TJPW as an idea and as a company are brought up.

Honestly my assumption as to the makeup of the AEW tournament is that Kenny said to Emi Sakura "put together an eight wrestler tournament with you and seven others" and left it to her.

Shida actually talked a bit about this today. Most of it was her, some of it was Kenny (for example, Shida was going to recommend Mei, but Kenny did before her). This is very much like one of the shows Shida would produce.
