I just finished watching the Stardom Summer Encounter Champions show and it was really really good but I don't follow Stardom closely so I was wondering what's up with Koguma and Hazuki being a tag team. Did they leave Stars? And are they supposed to be heels now? They were doing a lot of heel type stuff in their match. Also what does FWC stand for?

And just wow holy poo poo at the entire upper half of that card. The whole show was great but the last half was just unreal

I appreciate the answers about FWC but are they still considered to be part of Stars now or did they leave?

Risa Sera vs. Mai Sakurai on the 17th show ending with a double count-out because Risa wouldn't stop her giant swing on the floor was a very dumb and amusing finish.

Yeah it was great. They did a really good job of escalating the intense hate between the two and also giving them each 1 point to make that block's standings more interesting

I still have no idea why any promotion doing this kind of tournament has their actual champion in the tournament if the grand prize is a title shot. Like what happens if the champion wins? And yes I know wrestling is pre-determined but I've always thought it's weird

I know it gives the champion something to do instead of just sit around for months waiting for a winner and Syuri has put some women over big time

I really hope Giulia wins because she's my favorite in Stardom but I honestly don't care who wins because everyone at the top of each block would be a deserving winner

This 5*GP has been an absolute joy to watch and my Stardom World sub has been totally worth the money

OedoTai rules. They're a dark circus of misfits and weirdos and I love every single one of them. My favorite OedoTai member is easily Momo Watanabe because she's the most blatant cheater and a huge piece of poo poo and I love her to death for it

100% agreed! I just finished the finals and it was great al around despite having the winner spoiled when I was looking for information about tie breaks.

Overall I may have enjoyed the FSGP more than the G1 this year. The highs weren't quite as high, but there was no Bad Luck Fale or Chase Owens in the field so the lows weren't nearly as low either.

Sounds like there may be some more English commentary shows on the horizon which I'm looking forward to.

I absolutely enjoyed the 5*GP more than the G1 this year

So I'm going back through the Stardom World archive to catch up on recent title changes and important shows and I obviously needed to watch the Dec 29th show from last year where multiple title changes happened. I'm up to the main event and it's been a great show so far but I have a question:

Why is everyone walking around with their own personal Starlight Kid mask?

Elephant Ambush
Nov 13, 2012

...We sholde spenden more time together. What sayest thou?
Nap Ghost
Thanks. I was going to ask about Koguma and AZM having masks in that match and then Utami and Saya also came out with them but not everyone else on the roster did

Starlight Kid's new thing is cursing (?) people she beats after the match and that's pretty cool too. My kanji reading is abysmal so I have no idea what that shiny strip says on it

I know about the stable changes this year because I watched all of the 5*GP and things are certainly different now. One of my goals is to watch back through 2022 to see the turns. I already know about some of them but I want to see exactly what happened myself

Anyway, one of the biggest differences for me right now is just seeing how so many had hair cuts and color changes and a few people got new ring gear. For example, seeing Momo Watanabe and Natsupoi with dark hair was hosed up and I hope they never go back to that

Oh and I also need to find an appearance of Bloody Angel Mina Shirakawa because I read about it and it sounds cool as heck

Is there anything else I should make sure to go back and watch? I'm considering watching the 5*GP 2021 but I'm not it will hold my interest since I already know who won

Some of the big shows from early 2022 and 2021 (and possibly before then) have English commentary which helped me get up to speed on a lot of the less obvious aspects of rivalries and history. Still working on those but they've been great so far.

Is this on Stardom World? If so how do I enable English commentary? I don't see that option anywhere

The English commentary versions are listed as separate events. I forget how I even found them, I think I just browsed through everything and they showed up.

E.g.,
https://www.stardom-world.com/set/3633?fcid=25

Yeah I found them earlier by doing the same thing. It kinda sucks that there aren't that many shows with English commentary although those two guys really suck a lot. I already like my current job but I'd love to send an audition commentary track to Stardom because I already do a million times better job when I'm drunk hootin' and hollerin' at my monitor while watching these matches

The Stardom tag tournament has been really awesome so far. My only complaint is that they're really overusing time limit draws

Also I'm pretty sure Rossy had to re-book some stuff after Mina got hurt. Regardless, I've been super happy watching these shows


Also, Mafia Bella might be the coolest tag team ever

The Triangle Derby has been excellent. I just wish they would put the points rankings up at the end of each match like they did for the 5*GP and the Tag League. I have to keep track myself and I sometimes forget and I'm not sure who is in the lead now
