Interested to see the reaction to Stardom signing someone who actually is as famous as everyone thought Utami was when they signed her

Looking at the QTs on the Tokyo Sports article, not everyone is happy.

Having caught her act before, if I were a Stardom watcher, I would not be particularly pleased at the prospect of catching significantly more of it

This is the first I am learning that Utami was on her dad's reality show. Oh well, I won't hold it against her.

It was really funny seeing everyone oversell how much of a celebrity Utami was when Stardom first got signed because it was kind of like if an American promotion had signed Clay Aiken's cousin or something. Her dad was already several years into "huh yeah I guess I do remember that guy. weird" territory at the time

My friend is apparently a big fan and is considering going even though he's not a huge Stardom fan.

I'm not convinced this is an actual signing. She's only been training 4 months. This feels like something for her YouTube channel or some poo poo. I'd be surprised if there's a second match. I don't like such an obvious publicity stunt but it is what it is.

Maybe she's just a natural at pro wrestling like Kosei Fujita and Ryohei Oiwa who both also debuted after four months of training.

Yeah, you're probably right, especially since none of the Japanese reports I've seen about it use any language that sounds particularly binding
