Sayaka and Sakura for a couple of rookies are legitimately beating the poo poo out of each other in this cosmic angels try out match

Edit

They are running Saori Anou v Hanan at all star grand queendom which is a massive spot for Hanan. It's interesting they went with SLK getting the white belt shot earlier in the year at osaka and Hanan the Cindy plus the buntai show

I watched the title matches and both were good despite being predictable. That's the best Xena has looked so far and she was really laying the strikes in. I wonder if the tag titles will be hot potatoed elsewhere if the assumption is that Suzu is leaving? I think she signed later in the year so maybe there are a couple months yet.

In any case, put the belts on Hanan and Iida.

I don't know what's going on with Suzu. The Rossy side definitely thought they were signing her but they also thought they were signing way more wrestlers than they ended up signing.

The way Suzu and Giulia acted was a lot of emotion for a month or two. This could be as simple as Suzu knows something maybe we don't regarding how long Giulia will be actually with Rossy though.

Because let me just say one of the stardom maineventers went out in a way that said "hmmm if rossys promotion fails I better keep things good with stardom and put over talent" and the other went out in a way that said "who gives a gently caress if rossys promotion fails I'm going to the wwe"

I just finished watching Giulia vs Suzu and I have no idea how you can imply that Giulia was phoning it in or whatever. Those two tried to murder each other the whole time and Giulia made Suzu look like a million bucks

Utami got pinned by Maika, Suzu and Momo on the way out. Giulia literally kicked out of the move that beat Utami the night before. She absolutely protected herself more on the way out.

Considering he just got outbid on essentially the entire stardom roster (who apparently see him like a father figure) by a cash strapped bushiroad it would be funny

I have to think he's funding this himself. Even cyberagent aren't this cheap surely

Dave on the Giulia/Noah thing.

quote:

Giulia showed up at today's NOAH show in Tokyo and said she would be wrestling on the 5/4 NOAH show at Sumo Hall. This is not just her doing a date on a big show but is part of the strategy for the launch of Rossy Ogawa's new company. Regarding that company, there will be a big announcement planned right now for later in the month on it. But it's very clear far fewer women left Stardom than originally anticipated.

It's very clear bushiroad bumped the roster and staff up in pay so a nice win. That said Taro Okada has pulled off a blinder and bushiroad must be very happy with his leadership.

I've said from day 1 bushiroad have deeper pockets but he's obviously calmed down a lot of anger with the roster. Generally speaking people are loyal first to their own material conditions but make people angry enough and they might still gently caress off..

I suspect rossys promotion will be on wrestle universe but won't be backed by cyberfight.

I was annoyed at the time limit draw in Giulia vs. Suzu but when they called for extra time I was sure Giulia would put her over...and nope. Based on the past few weeks, good riddance.

I mean its the same as when people speculated that cyberagent would have involvement. Bushiroad managed to sign pretty much the entire roster and according to meltzer (so sonny or fumi saito) retained talent who told Rossy they were interested. Bushiroad isn't exactly cashed up right now but they out spent rossy.

So if he's got outside involvement they aren't really offering resources. This was a golden chance to raid the best womens promotion in japan

High Speed Title Three Way Match
Mei Seira (c) vs Saki Kashima vs Ram Kaicho

Six Man Tag Team Match
Camron Branae & Queen's Quest (AZM & Saya Kamitani) vs Oedo Tai (Momo Watanabe & Starlight Kid) & Stephanie Vaquer

Tag Team Match
SAKI & Willow Nightingale vs Konami & Syuri

Six Man Tag Team Match
Mariah May, Mina Shirakawa & Xia Brookside vs STARS (Mayu Iwatani & Momo Kohgo) & Tam Nakano
