Is that a work name or the real name? I guess would be real since he's retired...I think? I always figured the former Kagetsu wasn't a straight woman though I always focused on the straight part not the woman part. Congrats to Yu Ishino.

I assume he doesn't need a work name any more but yes it is a shoot name. He says he won't go by Kagetsu anymore.

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch

Jerusalem posted:

Out of curiosity is this the usual Stardom camera set-up? I don't know why but it surprises me how different it is from the generally more distant, brighter lit, and crowd-inclusive shots that are used in TJPW. Not saying it's bad, but after like a year of watching TJPW shows this feels really close-up to the action.

It was fairly typical of your smaller Stardom World shows - a lot rougher at points because they were doing it live which isn't normal for Stardom World. I also don't think its much different from a lot of your smaller promotions that self-produce shows - indeed TJPW are sort of unusual for doing their smaller shows as hard-cam only a lot of the time.

When you get to the bigger shows they are both produced by TV companies and are very similar - one difference is that Stardom Korakuens don't always air on Samurai so a lot of those are now Stardom World produced only.

Oedo Tai: Saki Kashima, Starlight Kid, Momo Watanabe

DDM: Giulia, Maika, Himeka, Natsupoi, Thekla

Cosmic Angels: Tam Nakano, Mina Shirakawa, Unagi Sayaka

God's Eye: Syuri and MIRAI

Prominence: Risa Sera, Suzu Suzuki

Saya Iida, Momo Kohgo, Ami Sourei, Ruaka, Rina, Mai Sakurai, Waka Tsukiyama, Lady C, Hina, Miyu Amasaki will be the ones competing for 3 available spots. Not exactly sure how that's gonna be setup.

There will be a final spot for a mystery competitor for Saya Kamitani to spoil. Last year it was Takumi Iroha, this year with Stardom more open to working with other promotions and the borders open it could be anyone.

Arisa Nakajima. Tell me that wouldn't be rad & I'll call you a liar.

As for the 3 qualifier spots, I dunno, I'd guess Iida, Sourei &...Sakurai? That 3rd spot is pretty hard to predict.

My prediction is they're going to go back to something more like the early shows than full death matching (except for the main event) and this'll be the baseline with the big shows being intergender death match battles like their launch show.

After 5.15 Natsupoi and Tam promo, I was interested to check stats for Tam, since after her white belt loss she didn't do much.

In 2021 she had 98 matches with 45.9% win rate.
In 2022 so far she had 38 matches with 18.4% win rate.

Poi really had a point. Hope Tam can bounce back second half of the year.

It definitely helps that they got in good with Emi/ChocoPro during the pandemic. Deadlock were selling ChocoPro merch and hyping them up constantly. It earned them a good reputation for American Joshi bookings. Emi’s pinned tweet is still the video Deadlock made for her
