Stardom World isn't a youtube service. Its on the same streaming platform NJPW World and DDT uses. Good rear end OP tho.

some good links:
http://joshicity.com/beginners-guide-to-joshi-puroresu/ Because Joshi is the backbone of actual women's wrestling.
http://wwnlive.com/shine/ landing page for SHINE, which is a monthly women's show available Floslam.tv. Its where future NXT signees are most likely to wrestle against Impact Knockouts.
http://shimmerwrestling.blogspot.com/ The Grandmommy of US women's wrestling. Their DVD catalogue is DEEEEEP. From OGs like Cheerleader Melissa and Sara Del Ray to new school standouts like Evie and Xandra Bale. If you get the women's wres bug, this is where you'll spend money.

How is Baszler? I'm surprised they'd be willing to bring someone so relatively new, even with the minor notoriety she has via Ronda.

She is really good with legit grappling experience. Trained by both Josh Barnett and the late Billy Robinson. Works real snug but afaik hasn't seriously roughed anyone up that wasn't down. Her tour through Stardom is a must watch.

Yeah, Shanna cut a promo setting that up at the 1st Ring show after the tag match she had with Gabby Ortiz against Hana Kimura and Kagetsu. Also, Stardom is starting to promote their "New Era" on Twitter so that's probably part of it.

Also Shanna and Gabby gave me a high five after the show when I told them it was my first live wrestling experience.

you probably didn't ask if Gabby why her top makes it looks like her nipples are pierced. Which is for the best.

It looks like Stardom might start sticking free matches up on YouTube. I'm not sure that this isn't a one off but this is a fairly nothing match to put up. Saying that Jungle Kyona is probably a good combination of entertaining gimmick and in ring ability to draw people in.

the Jungle Jungle crew is always so dang happy, its infectious.


Mari Apache has been announced for Stardom cards. Not sure if this is a one off, or she's staying for a tour.

Here's my 2 experiences with Stardom's english admin:

1. They send out this questionnaire. You know, usual poo poo, what do you like, what do you want to see improved, etc. They even hinted at the possibility of doing meet'n'greets or swag bags. I chime in about how hard it is to navigate between matches(you have to use the back button on your browser, like some kind of pleb). Anyway the response was....*drumroll* we've heard all your thoughts about improving it, but we're keeping everything exactly the same. Why even do a survey then, you dorks?

2. I bought a chromebit which uses highly sandboxed version of Chrome as its browser, had some trouble getting the site working. So I shot them an email. I get a short terse response back that tells me to go fetch info myself. I ended up getting it going thanks to the power of Chrome's extensions, I sent them an email saying "hey, I figured this out, and its a pretty easy way to get Stardom on a big screen, do you want instructions and stuff?" never a response back.

So nothing really super damning but kinda dodgy customer interactions. They've pretty much admitted in the survey email they're working under a tight budget, I get that. But when you're working a super niche market, your best friend is customers being super enthusiastic about the product. My interactions suggested that its not a priority to get ppl fired up.

Mandy amazes me because despite everything going for her she still manages incredibly boring matches. I thought that goofy WOH deathmatch she had with Taeler was just an anomaly.

so lets work on this timeline. I probably have all this wrong because AAA is unwatchable and their management is erratic at best.

AAA books Star in a singles title match against Shani for Triplemania. I'm not sure if the title was vacant, gifted to Star or she won it on a hotshot.
the booking gets changed to four way, including Rosemary because Jeff Jarrett is a goddamn idiot savant.
Sexy Star freaks out in the match, starts lighting people up.
Shani and the other chick(sorry other chick who's name I forgot) bail from the ring because they're tired of having to fight Star, leaving Rosemary alone.
Star cranks a nasty armbar on Rosemary(you could see her shoulder turn white, that's really bad)
Star has to be led to Rosemary's dressing room to apologize for her unprofessionalism by VAMPIRO of all people.

E:
note about armbars. Its a humerus fulcrum crank. Due to the range of motion in the human arm, there's a bunch of really delicate poo poo in that area. Short of just having an arm between your legs, its a loving dangerous hold.
