dragonzombie Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) Stardom Mayu movie New Stardom Bus Some stuff with NJPW games Bikiniing 11. Looks like I was right "Establish IWGP Women's Title! Title match: 11.20 Ariake Arena New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Stardom establish the title as a modern global standard. Defenses will be held not only in Japan but also at New Japan Pro-Wrestling's U.S. tournaments to promote Japanese wrestling to the world along with the new history of IWGP!"

Eivion Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Knew the IWGP belt would happen eventually. I'm ok with this. Hope it eventually gives people like Ruaka, Mina, Unagi, etc. a belt to strive for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) The Red and White belts remain the main belts of Stardom. But the IWGP Women's belt is a NJPW events belt that Stardom Wrestlers will fight for. The new belt may be defended on big Stardom shows. I dunno what it will look like, i hope they model it on Inoki's first belt. Edited July 29, 2022 by Blue Dragon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title is in a bit of a weird spot because I don't think they want it to usurp the Red and White belts, but by virtue of being on New Japan shows, it will be the title that gets the most exposure. I can see Mayu probably being the first title holder and finally retire the SWA title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osaka et al are not rural areas (they also probably mean regional not rural). They are examples of how they branched out into bigger shows in those areas and are going to do so in other parts of Japan they haven't had big matches in yet. Like how they kind of low key ran the Kokusai Center in Fukuoka when NJPW moved over to the Paypay Dome for Dontaku. It was the biggest show they had ever run in Fukuoka. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Mayu probably being the first title holder and finally retire the SWA title. I figure Mayu or Utami will be the first champ. I it avoids usurping the red/white belts by either having one of those titles defended on a major NJPW show or its own placement on NJPW shows not being very high. In general how far the belt goes will depend on booking and whose champ. I mean if its rarely seen in Stardom it won't will even have the chance to overtake the red/white. Same if it ends up being mostly defended in a place like NJPW Strong for instance. I think the eventual champions will also be a factor. They will start off with a big name for sure, but if they don't keep that up it would be hard for it to become a top title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefanie Without Stefanie Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Kurumi and Suzu Suzuki both tested positive for COVID, so they're off shows for at least the next few days. This means Suzu's missing 7/30 and 7/31 at Stardom, and Kurumi's match with Sakura Hirota at WAVE on 8/1 is cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stefanie Without Stefanie Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Dean might have to get Club Ice Ribbon for a couple of months because Stephanie Vaquer and Dalys are definitely staying in Japan for a while. They were announced for Saturday's dojo show, with Dalys in a single against Nao Ishikawa, and Stephanie teaming with Pure-J's AKARI against Ibuki Hoshi and Pure-J's Chie Ozora.
