His version of the Midnights with Lane really started my love of tag team wrestling as a young fan. Eaton was such an unassuming guy, but easily one of the most naturally gifted wrestlers of all time. More importantly, as so many have pointed out, he was acknowledged as one of the nicest guys ever in the business. So glad I was able to see him in person several times including an absolute banger tagging with Arn against the Steiner Brothers at a tiny house show in Indiana. Thank you Bobby. RIP.

Fair enough.

So are you implying they should focus on something else? Also...why wouldn't they simply be referred to as matches?

Just finished the first two days of the 5Star Grand Prix and good lord what a start. I hope they ease up a bit on the neck and head drops as there is a long way to go with so many amazing match ups to come in both brackets. Stardom just continues to deliver some of the best wrestling in the world today.

The Chris Brookes/Lulu Pencil epic Ironman match in highlight form.

Truly amazing. Lulu's love of wrestling is so pure and she gave everything she had. Brookes has been doing top notch work during his time in Japan and this was a fantastic performance. Heeling it up big time to really get you to feel for the underdog in Lulu while also leading her through the 30 minutes expertly. A great story artfully told.

Just watched the Mayu vs Oedo Tai gauntlet. Incredible performance by Mayu and the storytelling with SLK is great. Watching things play out between them as Mayu's career winds down should be awesome.

Suge speaking the truth to a situation that hit him very close.

One of all time favorite Funk moments.

Onita getting hit with an exploding barbed wire baseball bat by Abdullah Kobayashi. The whole deal was just ultimately really sad to me.

That seems out of left field to me...but I don't hate the idea. I also think Konami fills the strong second in command badass role more than the leader.

I think it will likely be Saki, but SLK would be an interesting way to go. Feel so bad for Tora. She and OT were becoming quite the force of chaos in Stardom.

Yoko stooging like a boss.

I gotta be honest watching 63 year old Onita stagger around bleeding, getting blown up and set on fire really just seems sad more than anything.

Well the Stardom Yokohama show wasn't anywhere near as good as Tokyo Dream Cinderella, but it was fun with a very downer ending

This is really well done and hypes one of the best shows of the year imo.

JWP Openweight Title Hair vs Hair Yoneyama and Sakura have both entered the respected veteran/comedy worker phase of their careers, but man they both went hard in their primes.

My MOTY is Utami Hayashishita vs Syuri for the World of Stardom Title on 6/12. Stardom consistently produces amazing matches and this is a prime example.

I feel an awful lot of douchebro energy in reactions to this. Not so much here, but man the creep factor is high to be sure.

And hilarity ensues.
