Match card looks solid. Really looking forward for the show, last 3 matches should be bangers.

This was one of my favourite matches from the first ACTRING show. The conceit was that all of Team Kaguya who were time displaced warriors kept trying to use their weaponry to the chagrin of referee Tommy, but Mari, who carries a sword to the ring anyway, decided to say "sure let's just have the match with swords"

It will defiantly be sad day in Stardom, but it's better for her to retire in her own terms, rather than face career ending injury. Plus she always can do one and off matches for big shows.

It's so amusing to me that when Mizuki's with Yuka she's just as rude, but on her own she's just a (loud) bubbly girl.

I'm finally catching last months Stardom Ota show & they sure telegraph who is going to swap teams in the Elimination Tag in the prematch VT. Focus was so hard on Starlight Kid. Add to that the team being a child, someone who hasn't been around since 2015, a freelancer who mostly wrestles for Mavelous & Wave & Mayu, I suppose you assume Oedo Tai have to lose.

There's not really much left of STARS until Small Saya & Jungle get healthy.

As a stats junkie, i like to look how Stardom books wretlers in single matches, ahead of big Cinderella show. I tracked how each wrestler performed since last Cinderella show all the way until today. Natsuko Tora was booked strongest, but last town shows had taken couple L.
(W-L-D)

Mina Shirakawa (CA) (3-2-1) vs Unagi Sayaka (CA) (2-2-2) - Future of STARDOM Tournament finals,


Tam Nakano (CA) (c) (3-2-1) vs Saya Kamitani (QQ) (Cinderella Tournament 2021 winner) (2-1-1) - Wonder of STARDOM Championship

Utami Hayashishita (QQ) (c) (2-2-2) vs Natsuko Tora (OT) (4-2-0) - World of STARDOM Championship

I can't know for 100% but following the product and the wrestlers I feel like I can say with relative confidence that they have their own voices and ideas they're able to infuse to their character. It's why Tam Nakano usually has the more engaging feuds and promos unlike say a Momo. Whether through twitter, or pre match promos or interviews I can see her personality shine through. Same with people like Syuri, Natsu Sumire or Mayu. Plus I think it's unheard of for someone to be a Vince McMahon level of control freak to where they're scripting magazine interviews outside of Vince McMahon. Outside of wwe that's the way wrestling is. Like the two interviews with Saya and Mina they talk so much about their non Stardom experience and how that plays so much into where they're all now that I can't imagine 100% them.

You are now hearing this

Does anyone else think they've run this SLK story arc in like double time? It's been two weeks since she was forcibly drafted into OT and now she's all in on their philosophy.

I know storytelling is not STARDOM's strong suit but jeez. Should have just had her betray Mayu and join freely.

Also, now that Natsuko is out for the foreseeable future with her knee, it'll be interesting to see what happens with OT.
