Honestly my assumption as to the makeup of the AEW tournament is that Kenny said to Emi Sakura "put together an eight wrestler tournament with you and seven others" and left it to her.

Shida actually talked a bit about this today. Most of it was her, some of it was Kenny (for example, Shida was going to recommend Mei, but Kenny did before her). This is very much like one of the shows Shida would produce.

When is the end of the Japanese side of the AEW tournament? Did STARDOM just accidentally spoil Emi's result?

I don't think they've given a date for the end of the Japanese bracket, but the finals themselves are at Revolution on the 7th. Presumably the bracket would end on the 1st if they're airing a round each Monday.

iSakura is a subscription service that lets you watch Japanese TV from anywhere in the world (except Japan obviously) and if you intend to only use it for this one show, there is a US$3 three day trial

I was wavering on watching this but for only $3 I can't really pass it up.

I'm wondering if a few of their wrestlers haven't been offered full time AEW contracts, and they're basically just saying "this won't gut the promotion"

TJPW have cracked the formula to success.

1) Make your product accessible, both in the sense of being super easy to get into but with depth that rewards people's attention, and in the sense of being very straightforward to get your hands on.

2) Work with other people well and be positive about their enthusiasms

3) Most importantly, have a bee in your company.

I think #2 is really one of the bigger things. I liked the STARDOM show I watched but the backstage environment just seems too.. competitive in a way that I don't really feel good about supporting.

Meltzer about Bea Priestley (so likely very accurate):

"The only thing I can say is that she's not going to AEW and the rest would be the same conclusion everyone else would come up with, which is the place she's not allowed to say if she's going there and thus she's said nothing."

i wa confused when i saw that, so what's exactly the difference between now and 3 weeks ago when it comes to live events?

I think what it means is that events can have either 5000 people or 50% of the building's capacity - whichever applies first.

Yeah it's really the environment (or at least the vibe I get from it) that makes me not like Stardom. Feels way too competitive.

Serena Deeb vs. Riho was just leaked as being on the buy-in for Double or Nothing, so Riho is not the mystery competitor at CyberFest.

There's not really any point in signing her right now unless she wants to relocate. And maybe she does, but there are also visa issues to sort out before that can happen.

Wait I might be wrong. She might be retiring.... I'm looking at it on my phone and it's a small screen

Someone did a machine translation and it didn't sound like a retirement but who knows if that's accurate or not.
