Eivion Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Finally finished the Budokan show. I was worried with the matches being short, but the show mostly delivered. Most of the matches could have used 5 more minutes, but they made the most out of what they had. Thought Mayu/Yoshiko was probably the best match though it was disappointing in that it wasn't something more epic. Syuri/Konami was the best Konami has looked in over a year. The two meshed well together and delivered something different from Stardom's norm with it being so submission focused. Momo/Nanae was pretty good though the result still pisses me off since it will likely lead to nowhere for Momo. Utami/Saya was good, but I never thought it would be bad. They did well having Saya take most of the match while still treating Utami as above her. Stillwasn;t quite the match you want for the World title on their biggest show ever. Tam/Giulia was good though not as good as their match form last September. The post match segment was solid and did its job in making Giulia look good/cool.

Dead Magic Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 The Beyond the Sea championship has been vacated so Yoshiko can heal from neck and back injury she re aggravated. Rina Yamashita vs. ASUKA for the belt on their 3/17 Korakuen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Figured that was happening when I saw people talking about her intentions to make an announcement yesterday. I'm guessing she wanted to make sure she worked the Budokan match with Mayu before taking the time she needed off. Does make me wonder if she was always supposed to lose the Budokan match.

Eivion Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I'm actually kind of excited for Ruaka/Iida. Ruaka is better than she normally lets on, and Iida has been looking good as champ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Can't wait for Death to betray Mayu. Natsupoi vs Tam's White title and Starlight Kid will challenge for Natsupoi's High Speed title. Maika and Himeka vs Syuri and Giulia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 If it means Kaori returns to being Death Yama-san then hell yeah! I doubt Iida turns and we aren't ready for Evil Starlight Kid. The other option is that Mayu loses and is forced to join Odeo Tai and in turn all of OT just abuse her and treat like a rookie, hell make her Ruaka's second. It would make even less sense than Tomoko Watanabe joining Black Joker! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 The Goddess tags match will be the Main Event of the Yokohama Budokan show.

Eivion Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Really dislike that. The Goddess belts match doesn't feel more important or bigger in any way. DDM would still be just as important working the semi-main. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Guess Giulia is the reason is why the tags are maining. In TJPW news Maki Itoh has challenged Rika for the POP title, Maki Itoh aims to be the best girl in TJPW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo2653 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Any particular reason why Jaime Hayter isn't back in Stardom with Bea?

They can't really bring Hayter back until they can start bringing gaijin back in regularly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
