I mean Bushiroad does have control of Stardom so why not have Stardom being represented as well. I've been watching Stardom for over 6 Years and it would be a Dream to see this happen for that Company to get that to happen for them down the road.

While, I agree with you and even with Nagata. I will argue that because more people are familiar with New Japan than Stardom as well people are familair with New Japan's style over Stardom's Joshi style, which some may not like.

The thing I do like is seeing guys like Nagata and even Onita who want to women's wrestling, or well Joshi I suppose, to do well and be featured more as their isn't a separation, I think would be the proper term to use, between the two.

I think its also that stardom seem to be more interested in growing their japan market. They dont seem interested at all at getting a foothold in America very much , for whatever reason. Njpw has been at it for a good while now so probably will need some patience.

Honestly, I would love even if one person from Stardom can have a match against an AEW wrestler. But if there is a bright side, the AEW/NJPW supershow, if it becomes a yearly thing, they can enter it in future shows.

To follow up it took until what , 2019 for women to be on wrestlekingdom? Seems like this stuff evolves very slowly in sometimes overly conservative Japan

The problem of Stardom x AEW is that AEW has/does use wrestler from TJPW, which is a competitor of Stardom

Im guessing ddt n njow r on good terms n tjow n stardom arent because stardom "poaches" a lot?
DDT and New Japan aren't exactly on good terms, but they can work together, if that makes sense. Nailed it right on the head for stardom. They pretty much "took", I guess is the best way to put it, several talents from AWG as of late so, and also because two companies in Japan usually never work together as both want to look good and all as well so. So, if you had like Mayu Iwatani v Maki Ito then Stardom would strong arm AEW to letting Mayu win or even if it was Maki v Anna Jay they would want Maki to look not that great, if that makes sense.

Also, there has been exceptions to that rule obviously, but still if you understand Japanese work culture and all then you would understand it more.

Can Stardom wrestlers appear on American TV sations? Because of Japanese TV rights shit, Stardoms first 2 WrestleKingdom appearances couldn't be broadcasted.

Don't know if it really counts, but Kairi Sane, Mayu iwatani, and Io Shirai were allowed to be shown in Lucha Underground while under contract with Stardom

Truth be told I imagine the WWE saw Io and Kairi from that Match and thought damn these girls would be great in the NXT Women's Division which I guess they had little or no knowledge of Stardom before then. My Dream here and I'm willing to wait because I know the market is there that Stardom does get some Matches involved in joint PPVS down the road. I want more eyes on Joshi and Stardom so any talk or advertising to their Company I'm all for no doubt.
