Ah ok. It's sort of confusing because when you buy the ppv they also describe it as buying a ticket. Might be a translation thing

Oh cool, another show where Gungnir of Anarchy can lose :cry:

Anou vs Takase is definitely the "match on paper that sounds the most exciting to me personally" from this year's show.

Am I overreacting a bit by saying that this is stupid of Giulia to say right now and it somewhat undercuts the match against Mayu by making people look past it to a potential double title match? Feels like it's setting up to deflate people if Mayu wins. But if she loses and they do want to build towards this match...ok Mercedes spent the last month beating the poo poo out of Mayu, making her look dumb and then she just wins the match. Personally I think Mayu should win and Mercedes should just challenge Giulia for the World title although I find the latter 2 to be tremendously unlikeable

Edit: :rolleyes:

Yes, I mean you're right that maybe it undercuts the Mayu match but I also think you're overreacting, many times in sports you have someone who has a fight ahead of them going "I can't wait to face this guy"& then this guy goes and gets knocked out throwing a wrench in a promoter's plans

Finding Giulia unlikeable seems odd to me when she's clearly the coolest person in Stardom that doesn't do deathmatches but then as a slightly later Stardom fan I don't have the same attachment to Mayu as longer watchers

What makes this the biggest show in Stardom history? Is it the biggest venue? Or just a "biggest" in terms of big matches and stories?

I haven't followed Stardom in ages but I'm always sucker for watching a big show (weeeellllll). I wish this was streaming in some easy-to-use app I could get on my TV.

It takes place at the Yokohama Arena which could fit about ~14k for wrestling, their largest show until now was the NJPW co-promoted show and that did about 7k.

Yokohama Arena is real big. Wikipedia says 17,000, K-1 claimed 17,823 in the old building for the '08 Grand Prix Finals. (Which is 100% guaranteed to be a worked number)

But on top of that, I just looked at the card again when writing the weekly schedule for the Puroresu thread and whole poo poo is it stacked with great matches. 5 title matches. Himeka's retirement* match. Big Hash vs Syuri in only their 3rd singles meeting. KAIRI teaming with Natsupoi & Saori Anou to challenge for the Trios belts. Mercedés Mone vs Mayu. Tall Saya vs Mina in a match that has a chance of being either great or a trainwreck & close to zero percent chance of being dull. And then that main event. Giulia vs Tam has been built fantastically, basically since Giulia joined Stardom. Two amazing wrestlers with real star charisma. It's going to be off the wall. I look at this card on paper & I doubt I'll see a better show this year. Certainly of everything from this year to date, it's insanely loaded.

I don’t know if I’ll watch live… been a while since I’ve done a 2am Japan show live. But I may check this out sometime this weekend. Thanks y’all!

It's worth mentioning that the last Mina/Saya match was actually loving tremendous....until it suddenly wasn't at the very end. If they stick the landing this time (no pun intended) it should be a really good match.

On the Post Wrestling preview thing they said it’d be on Stardom World sometime later in the week. That’d be a way cheaper way to watch it if you don’t care about waiting.

Also, I just realized it’s on for me at 2am Sunday and not in 3 hours so who knows. Maybe I’ll ruin my Sunday and stay up late to watch it live if I decide to buy the show.

So TJPW is running two "special rules" matches on the costume change show they are doing on Sunday. Does anyone know/remember what those matches rules are?

Not seeing anything from Dramatic DDT or TJPW's twitter, so maybe they're only going to be announced at bell time :shrug:

Stardom show is incredibly tempting, sharing a 13 hour car ride with my dad and leaving at bell time, maybe I'll make him take the first leg (but the connection might be too bad...)

English commentary should go up on Stardom World, right?

On the rare times they've had English commentary, yeah they put up both English and Japanese.

Mercades was also training with the TJPW roster a few days ago so I know she's a huge fan of wrestling and specifically Joshi and not just a mark for herself so great on her for standing her ground and proving her worth. She had some of the best NXT matches so I'm here for her becoming the modern era Alundra Blayze, I think she's going to end up with multiple Meltzer classics with girls like Mayu, Gulia, and Syuri

If she practices a match the same way she did in NXT then I'm all for it because the Takeover Respect and Brooklyn shows were so drat good but a rowdy crowd probably added to that

e: I'm so torn on wrestlers that could be all-time greats stuck in the WWE in their prime. Make that money but selfishly, I want to see women like Bayley, Rhea, or Bianca having good matches outside of the WWE or Becky and Dakota having a second wind since their indie careers happened when before they developed
