Would you be my new best friends?

The start time on New Japan World is listed as 3:30 ET as opposed to 4 in the OP, are they just listing an earlier start time because of the Stardom pre-show match?

That was my thinking since it's not a dark match this time. I did make sure to mention it in the match list

20 minutes left, looking forward to the Stardom showcase match. I enjoyed the Lady C match from the free show they had last week, hopefully she does well on a big stage

That's a lot of pressure for someone so early in her career. She's still very much on the limited rookie moveset

Wait, Saya was in AKB48? Which means that Stardom and TJPW both have a former AKB48 idol in their ranks.

I have to say, I'm less impressed by Lady C than by the other competitors in this match. She's certainly not bad, but if I had to pick a junior partner I'd take Saya over her.

Eh, she did a couple of cool big boots and got beat up a bunch. For a rookie she didn't seem crazy out of her depth

She's the rookie in Stardom. She debuted at the end if last year. Her record is currently 0-78. That's why I was shocked they put her in the match. Saya is actually pushed right now.

Yeah, I very briefly had a Stardom membership 2-3 years back and while I really appreciated their subtitled shows, everything being taped and divided into single matches (I don't know if the latter has been improved) meant it was easy to fall behind or forget to watch.

I understand their wrestling is very good, but TJPW is so much easier for me to access and watch and that goes a long way, especially bundled in with DDT and NOAH like it is. I know it is due to television rights and stuff, but I really wished when BushiRoad bought Stardom that they'd just bundle it in along with NJPW on New Japan World.

I'm convinced the reason they don't do Stardom live shows is that their current site doesn't have that functionality. Hopefully they eventually figure something out
