[Wrestling Observer Newsletter] Stardom is now Japan’s No. 2 promotion

“Stardom has grown from the No. 6 promotion in Japan to No. 2. It may be the first time in history that a women’s promotion has ever been No. 2 in attendance. Stardom crowds are up +206.87% in 2022 compared to 2019 pre pandemic.”

Considering the talent hawking and the fact they are owned by Bushiroad, it isnt much of surprise

Former Red Belt Champion Alpha Female is in the IWGP Tourney but who in the blue hell is Arba White?

Rina Yamashita!!

 

[Alexa]

Rina in Stardom?! Does this mean Deathmatch in Stardom?1 Also, it is Ava White, not Abra White, lol. And she is wrestler on the indy scene for about two years now, i think, and she has a only fans. As far as talent goes she is decent

I think she joining up with Giulia and possibly facing Momo and SK down the road? Sticks were drawn during this Segment and it seems like Utami, Mayu, and SLK are in the tourney with Giulia. SK over AZM so were going to give a meaningless High Speed Title Match for her again? People are forgetting she's beaten everyone and even at New Blood 4 she is damn near going toward talent hoping they want a Title shot. Ram, and Momoka are getting shots and those are walk in the Parks for her compared to the talent she's been facing. At least put Momo over SK because duh she has history with Utami and Mayu. Oh well me not liking SK or Giulia in there mostly SK it doesn't mean my dumb ass won't seeing from beginning to end.

They say the spots are based off the GP Results but HZK hasn't loss in the GP at all and Mayu gets the spot over her that makes no sense.

I haven't kept up with Stardom in a while as I lost interest again, or watched when Prominence shown up. But now with Rina in the mix, I may get back into watching and as far as factions goes I think she just stays a freelancer since no faction really fits her

Dave Meltzer: "Io and Dakota Kai both had talks with Stardom about coming in before Levesque (Triple H) signed both of them to main roster deals."

I would loved to see Io in 2022 Stardom mix, but if HHH will use her as good on RAW as he did at NXT, then I'm happy for her.

Kai in Stardom would have been cool to see

Me too considering she pupiled alot of talent that are killing it these days like AZM, Momo, and HZK. If I'm a betting man she finishes her Career with Stardom as a Wrestler.

Io is 32, so if she signed like 3 year contract she would be still woud be 35, so it's decently possible

And add on the fact, Joshis now don't retire at age 30/35 anymore helps as well

I hope everyone is keeping up with the Grand Prix because I've been watching some damn good bouts the past few Shows. Suzu Suzuki vs HZK, Saki vs Syuri, Saki vs Maika were all three great Matches to watch for me. from the 8/20 Show. Suzuki vs Hazuki was physical and stiff and that is what I wanted to see between the two.

I still need to watch the 8/21, 27, and 28th Shows but I'll be caught up by the end of the Week coming up.

I pretty much watched all the shows ( except New Blood ), I only need to catch up to August 27th show, which looks solid on the card.

Just finished the 21st Show my God Himeka vs Saya for the White Belt had me sweating through my Shirt. Still sucks it was going to be Kairi vs Saya, but man Himeka gave every her everything and one mistake proved to be the decider in that one. MOTY Nominee no doubt in that one.
