dragonzombie Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) New Blood has separate watermarks from Stardom. Probably could be the new brand. Seems we will get Starlight Kid vs Haruka Umesaki next time, Kid suggested Haruka should join O.Tai. KAIRI and the other top stars.

Eivion Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 The New Blood show was pretty solid. That new rookie has potential. Saya Iida looked mostly good and murdered poor Aoi with that brainbuster. And I'm totally down for a karate vs. judo feud in Tomoka Inaba vs. Hanan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Yeah, looks like New Blood is the new brand, new music for the beginning and the ending and not much Stardom Logos, not even on the poster for the event. I guess this new brand is where Tall Saya will be the big deal, while Giulia for Stardom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 How does taking shots at what Maki Itoh been through make this over hyped rookie a babyface? I'm convinced Maki is losing this match to free her up to in the PoP in the Summer but part of me wants Maki to end this chick! James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Lady C was workshopped, meaning Tam and Starlight Kid helped her with muscle training, Mayu told her to do the giant swing. Etc. She was inspired by Sasha Banks for one of her previous gears. She got into wrestling by watching NJPW live. https://number.bunshun.jp/articles/-/850486 https://encount.press/archives/241415/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Those were nice little articles. Wouldn't have guessed she made her own gear. I'm curious where all of the AJPW inspiration comes from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She studied Baba to make good use of her size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can hardly wait for The Green Gorilla to rampage up the card! I have this gut feeling that if things play out, she will be White Belt champ to end Saya's reign James 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kropotkin's Beard Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 With Tsukushi Haruka also apparently talking of retiring soon, Prominence seemingly gone after being unimpressed about IR COVID protocols when they last appeared for them, Maya Yukihi a part-timer now, if Tsukasa does retire then that's a phenomenal blow for them. There's young talent there but the top of the card has taken a huge beating & losing Fujimoto probably ends my interest in the promotion at least. And if she does retire I'd sure miss her Best Friends team with Arisa Nakajima, even if they aren't regular partners anywhere right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stefanie Without Stefanie Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I'll believe Tsukka's retiring when she has her final match, but if she does, that would be a major blow. With everything she does for Ice Ribbon, it'd be incredibly hard to see her leave, but she's just as entitled to a happy life outside of wrestling as anyone else.

dragonzombie Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Maki Ito seems to have "Boo Boo" face these days for her upcoming title bout, she may be working the fans though. We must keep in mind that she does want to spread negative emotions. If she beats Yuki Arai, she wants to tell Yuki the one thing she is missing.

nofuture Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 TJPW is a pretty conservatively booked promotion so I can see Ito retaining, but it seems like everything is pointing towards Arai winning. She's a legit draw and their last interaction was Ito taping out Aria which in wrestling booking logic wouldn't happen if Ito was winning. Easily the most fascinating match on the card booking wise.

Sendai Girls' still being one of the few Joshi promotions that puts recent big matches online for free, after... three? maybe two failed online subscription models is something. I mean I'd actually pay them for this stuff but they won't let me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
