RIPPA 29,794 Posted March 15, 2018 Per the new WON Quote Stardom’s Kris Wolf will be returning tot he U.S. to tour Europe and work in the U.S. She was unable to get a new visa. She was living in Japan full-time and doing a regular job, and working all the shows as a second job. But her regular job got her visa and they didn’t get her a new one, so she has to return home, at least for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eivion 2,795 Posted March 15, 2018 I had been wondering why Kris wasn't booked for anything in Stardom recently. Hope she sort issues soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I've started watching a bit of Stardom. Just a few matches so far. I'm enjoying it. But watching a 17 year old talk about challenging for the white belt at her last Korakuen show before she graduates high school makes me feel so very old.

monstermike87 0 Posted March 27, 2018 The fact that Sendai Girl's can keep Heidi Katrina's visa current but Stardom can't sponsor their own trainee in Kris Wolf is ridiculous. Like, that's just embarrassing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Fowler 13,552 Posted March 27, 2018 Kris was at Stardom's Shinkiba show Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eivion 2,795 Posted March 27, 2018 Yeah the visa thing was either fixed or was bullshit in the first place. Kris just seems to be leaving in general. It honestly doesn't surprise me since she seemed ready to travel the wrestling world last year and kind comes across just a little bit as the free spirit type in general.

Like, that's just embarrassing. Stardom wasn't her visa sponsor, it was with the job she was doing and they scaled back. Stardom could have gotten her on the same temporary visas that their other foreigners get but that would have affected everything else in her life in Japan. She probably saw this as a chance to go explore other opportunities. But I have a feeling she might be back some day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian Fowler 13,552 Posted March 28, 2018 So things I've learned recently. Io Shirai is as good as I have heard. Maybe even better. Odeo Tai are awesome. Tam Nakano is adorable. Not in a "I'm attracted to her" kind of way, but the way a little kid doing something goofy is. Holy fuck Stardom has a lot of belts for how few wrestlers there appear to be. Mayu Iwatani is also really good. I'm very old and this company is full of kids. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eivion 2,795 Posted March 28, 2018 Yeah the finals of tournament for a new rookie/young wrestler belt is today because they have so many teens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Fowler 13,552 Posted March 28, 2018 Yeah, I watched the semi-final from Sunday. So many belts. I love that the trios belts are all different colors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eivion 2,795 Posted March 28, 2018 to be fair most of the belts made some kind of sense when they were made. I think only the Artist belts kind of happened randomly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Fowler 13,552 Posted March 28, 2018 Yeah. I'm not saying it's wrong too have belts, just they seem to have a lot in relation to roster size. I've definitely seen enough to want to keep the subscription. Shirai vs Kagnetsu is gonna be awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eivion 2,795 Posted March 28, 2018 Whats funny is the roster might actually be the biggest its ever been even with Kris leaving and Mimura retiring. Its just that so many are rookies or low on the totem pole having just left that phase. Stardom has unfortunately always had issues keeping talent long term. Had so many not left, been hurt, or been released they would be 2-3 times the size they are now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Fowler 13,552 Posted March 28, 2018 They seem to do a good job of not over extending the greener girls, and making sure everything is fun when it's not necessarily good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eivion 2,795 Posted March 28, 2018 Now, but they went harder when Nanae was around. Its why I'm more hopeful the current roster can last. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trocar Slush Weasel 1,657 Posted April 3, 2018 Stardom broke in a new dojo in the shadow of Tokyo Skytree yesterday. Just waited for Kris Wolf to get up outta there, I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
