Ramo2653 Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 Throwing this out there in case I feel like signing up for another wrestling service; how easy is it to sign up and watch Stardom World? Do they have an app or would I have to hook my laptop to my TV?
nofuture Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 Signing up is easy, the only part that usually messes people up is putting the credit card expiration month/year backwards (put it in as year/month). Their site is browser based so no app. Be forewarned that like all Japanese streaming services, they bill at the first of the month, not the day you sign up.
J.H. Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 Tora winning the red belt isn't so crazy since I don't see Saya bearing Tam for the white
J.H. Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 Am I understanding it right that 5*GP is a single elim tourney this year? James
nofuture Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 No, it's the normal round robin format from 7/31 to 9/25.
Eivion Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 Will start at Yokohama and end at Ota Ward. They are going big this year.
DEAN Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 So is MARVELOUS and Sendai Girls merging or something?

They were revived for this feud with the winner taking the belts to their home promotion. It would make for a strong promotion if they merged. 1
Doragon Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 Wrestling Promotions don't merge in Japan, SENDAI GIRLS now controls those GAEA belts.
Eivion Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Finally saw the Ota Ward show. That was good if only for the main event. Utami & Syuri both had career performances with their match.
Doragon Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 The new Tiger Mask successor character for RJPW is Tiger Queen. They obv want to move away from the numbering of Tiger Masks. Mock up Image shown below:
Eivion Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 I selfishly hopes she ends up working Stardom at some point to work with Kid. 1
Doragon Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Jaguar Yokota advised and Tiger Mask the first trained her. 1
DEAN Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Spoiler Ryo Mizunami beat Nanae Takahashi and will challenge ASUKA for THE BELT on 7/11! 2
Doragon Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Miyu and Maki Itoh lost, so still no double princess champ in TJPW's history yet. Edited June 17, 2021 by D.Z
J.H. Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 They basically used the tag title match to set Sakisama up to challenge Miyu on 6/24 James
RIPPA Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 Meltzer gave Utami/Syuri 5 1/2 stars which I am 99.9% sure is the first women's match to go past 5 3
J.H. Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 Further thoughts post -Cinderella... I think as far as STARS/OT goes they're going to set-up a match where Kid legit turns on Mayu. That sets things up and gets Mayu away from Tora but keeps it about STARS v. OT. I still think Kyona is coming back earlier than most people do and if I'm right about Kid going full heel then you have tag program with Mayu/Jungle against Konami/Kid. I think Tora is winning the red belt to set-up Giulia winning it for the year end show. Giulia will win the 5 Star to set that up. Of course I could be 100% wrong but that how it feels to me James
nofuture Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 Tora winning really depends on when they want to pull the trigger on Utami/Giulia which is their biggest money match right now. Do they want it by the end of the year or sometime next year when they can have a bigger gate.

It was a great match, but it was no Hokuto/Kandori. 15 hours ago, J.H. said: I think as far as STARS/OT goes they're going to set-up a match where Kid legit turns on Mayu.

I'd rather Kyona take the time to heal properly which would put her return closer to November/December. It took her a while to even get the necessary surgeries and I heard she was not as big/muscular when she was at Hana's Memorial show. The situation does feel like a setup to fully turn Kid though I honestly think that does nothing good for her right now in the long term. 15 hours ago, J.H. said: I think Tora is winning the red belt to set-up Giulia winning it for the year end show.

I want Natsuko to win, but it would be a somewhat odd choice to have Utami's reign end just after she finally got the major match she needed to cement herself as top level. Utami/Giulia can easily still be saved for next year by just having Utami have a long reign. Natsuko throwing a monkey wrench into things would be more interesting, but I'm not sure they would trust her at the top for even a short time, especially as they keep doing shows in bigger buildings.

DEAN Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 Takumi Iroha returns to wrestling July 19th. I am already stoked about Iroha vs Chihiro Hashimoto. 1
