Why does their graphics have to be so bright, lol?

No hate on Syuri but, am I the only one who just doesn't fell her reign as red belt holder?
For example in my opinion, Utami's red belt reign started hot with Momo match, in upcoming months had slow down, while other matches on big shows took main event spot. Her first match Syuri is what catapulted her reign, and started putting eyes on her.
Syuri has been champion for 4.5 months, had 4 title defenses (3 of those was against former/current stable mates) and she had match against Mayu which was good, but not as good as I expected. Hell it wasn't even match of the night. And now she's wrestling freelancer? I just don't fell it. Maybe her reign kicks of after 5star GP, of not that would disappointment of the reign.

Syuri's run to me has been alright. Nothing great but nothing too good to ride home about. I don't mind her wrestling a freelancer given how the members in Prominence have value to them. I do think that either her reign kicks off after the 5 Star GP or they end up having her drop the belt to someone else.

I'm still new so my champions for reference is meh, but I've been fine with her as champion. I think her match with Giulia sold me on her.

I didn't say I wasn't fine with her being champion just saying that she has been an alright champion and to me her matches have hit or miss.

Yes, but when they do swerve it is surprising/shocking meaning the moment means more.

So true the first OMG moment to me when I started watching Stardom easily was Io turning on Mayu and creating Queen's Quest with Momo and HZK. Io had been a loyal fan of Mayu for Years battling groups like Oedo Tai and one night she had enough of Mayu. I remember like it was yesterday and at the time Stardom didn't really groups like that. You had the faces like Mayu, then Jungle Kyona had her group with alot of the younger talent and then Oedo Tai. After that turn it wouldn't be too long before we saw actual groups forming.

Welp the road for Syuri leading her to winning the Red Belt I attached to her reign because even before the Grand Prix win she was really hitting the mark I thought. She beat one of the most dominant Champions in Stardom and I thought at the time if she beats Utami then how you take the title off of her especially how fierce Utami was as Champion. I throw my hands up on how they take the title away from her it could be some kind of three way etc because I don't know if any lady in Stardom can legit beat her right out the box on their first try right now.

Jungle group was called J.A.N, Jungle Assault Nation, and I loved it. And I realized also you have been watching Stardom just about as long as I have, lol

Yup. I remember during those days AZM and SK would be in opener it felt like other every Show and look at those two now. I remember Natsuko Tora when she was with JAN crying her eyes out because she didn't want to keep losing for the Team man that broke me so hard. Even though I'll never be a fan of her work today it made me happy to see that she gave a damn about wanting to improve and get better in the Ring.

Yeah, pretty much. You knew the opener or second match was going to be AZM v SLK or AZM v X or SLK v X. And i knew, AZM and SLK would become stars mean how couldn't they? Yes, Tora in JAN was so good because as you mentioned she wanted to win and improve instead of losing and Jungle would always be like "You did good. We can do better next time" Highly agree about her giving a damn and wanting tom improve

Stardom 101: Queen's Quest

Ever since I started writing more frequently about wrestling on this blog, I've constantly praised one promotion above all others, Stardom. I've been watching the all-female sister promotion to New Japan Pro Wrestling since the beginning of 2021, and I firmly believe that it is the most...

Start times for everyone. I'll be waking up for work on Monday at that time but surely I'll be getting a Box of Tissues ready to see Hana's 2nd Memorial Show.

I'll end up watching this at a later time, but after seeing recent pics of Jungle I am so hyped for her match
