Whenever they've done big group posters like this they always have them going in the order in which they joined and it's kinda cool seeing people who I remember just starting out inching towards the front. (Though as cool as it is that Namba is included, the obnoxious pedant/Yuki Aino fan in me always feels compelled to point out that if we're counting time spent as announcers, Aino should technically be ahead of her)

It's not that kind of test.

If that's an indication of who's leaving - yikes! If it's a way to focus the tournament on the "Cinderella" aspect and have fewer obvious time limit draws between top talent then it makes sense.

In either case, go Saya!

Let's play "how well do I know the Stardom roster?"

So the names absent as far as I can tell
Giulia. Syuri. Utami. Tall Saya. Maika. Mayu. Mina. Rina. Hina. Momo. Saori Anou. Tam.

The twins, I dunno, are they still in school? That would explain that. The others it just seems like the top talent, on the whole. The only exception is Momo, who should be a top talent but Bushiroad clearly doesn't think she is. So I could have seen her in there in a Hazuki/Koguma kind of role.

Iwatani is under-contract because of the movie, Maika, Utami, Saya & Saori are all the current "major" champions.

Of the ones not covered, well, Giulia going somewhere is being treated like a done deal. Syuri? I dunno, she's an ex red belt holder, ditto Tam.. Mina not being in is maybe a little bit of a surprise, she had a short white belt run. Actually maybe that's just it. Nobody in the field tournament has held either the Red or White belts. That'd make some degree of sense.

I'm definitely most surprised at Momo not being in it when the rest of the faction is. Mina is the other big time name I'm surprised about. Hina is injured and I think the schedule is bad for Rina. Going to cope by just saying they're not including the top people for a reason.

Seems they're just trying to be true to the Cinderella name and not including anyone who has won the Red or White belt before. Mirai being the only one in there. Wouldn't read too much into it as Tam is on record as saying she's staying and she's not in the tournament.

Tam Nakano isn't in it and she already said she's staying with stardom. It seems outside of the defending champ no white or red belt winners are in. I'd also be shocked if Mina Shirakawa left. She is heavily used by BR for promotion.

Tbh with two giant caveats if that indicates who is staying with stardom than the yikes is more at rossy. He would have no midcard or the best young wrestlers in the promotion. If stardom can retain slk/azm/mei seira/suzu Suzuki/hanan that's a huge win for bushiroad

The caveat being cosmic angels and maikas stable are staying.

I absolutely rate Utami and Syuri as the best wrestlers in the promotion too. Just from a business perspective Rossy at a minimum needs SLK. We have to be careful not to assume we know these women but slk might be a wrestler bushiroad can keep with the odd njpw appearance. The timing of sonny seething about her on the observer boards now to me is curious. Especially after another Rossy loyalist Fumi Saito buried Tam last week as an old money hungry washed hag in a move that comically turned stardoms reddit against rossy

Like utami, kamatani, momo Watanabe, syuri and guilia are all pretty great but giulia is off to the wwe and tam is more popular than the rest combined. It's also a pretty flimsy roster.

The good news for rossy is that I'm pretty sure he will get some of those women but it would be an epic fail on his behalf if he can't get a single wrestler from stars. Like a crazy failure.

"an old money hungry washed hag", really? loving hell. Is Fumi just mad that women no longer retire in their mid 20s?

That is absolutely rotten.

It's all tea leaf reading as to who goes with Rossy, but I'm expecting Momo is a lock and then it's just "who has been around for ages?" AZM, SLK, Hazuki, Koguma. But it's not the 1990s, blind loyalty doesn't really seem a thing.anymore. jumping from Stardom, a company with regular TV, far & away the #1 Joshi company, regularly working up and down Japan in a way no one else does, backed by a large company who have spent a lot on advertising etc, to a new startup, probably without much financial backing. I mean never mind Stardom, what's meant to put this ahead of Sendai Girl, Marvelous or ice Ribbon?

I dunno, it seems a bad time to be starting a new company in a crowded scene with the economy in a lousy position.

I was exaggerating a little but it was basically Tam isn't loyal and is after BR money but she's past it at 35 as a talent. This was literally days after she absolutely cleaned up the shupro awards too.

That interview did more to damage Rossy on stardom reddit than anything BR could do. Letting Fumi and Sonny run their mouths to whoever is listening about the women who stay while BR just uses corporate we respect what they've done for us speak is a pretty good strategy

Rossy already has shows booked so not only does he already know who is leaving but he also has enough freelancers to fill out entire cards. He also has momentum from Stardom's success and he has, at the very least, Giulia as a huge draw

I think he'll be fine

I honestly don't know who to believe about any of this stuff but all I want is for Stardom and Rossy's promotion to succeed. I want all the talent to get paid and the joshi scene to flourish and new stars to be elevated
