Just got through the first two matchers, the Future of Stardom Match and the Odeo Tai v Queen's Quest Tag. The opener was a good start, and honestly I have 3 takeaways from the tag.

1. Utami Hayashishita looks even more badass than I thought
2. Momo's current character reminds me a bit of a Naito with a hint of Io Sharai in NXT atm. I like it.
3. Lady C, compared to the previous matches I saw her in, improvement. She seems more confident in her motions, and she wrestles less stiff (as in her body motions). Her height is obviously will make it hard to be as fluid in her movements all the time, but already starting to improve with QQ.

Yep, watched AZM vs Starlight Kid and it was a great match. Built off of some previous moments, and maybe the only minor nitpick would be that SLK had to adjust her gear a lot (Blame OSW review for making me pay attention to that).

Then the post-match scene of SLK handing her the mask, trying to get her to humiliate her like SLK has done to multiple opponents but instead AZM goes with a respectful fist bump, nice. Shows the two have developed some respect over their matches.

Finally the main event another good match, Natsupoi had a good showing as expected, and Saya Kamitani really has this almost Okada like Aura about her... I blame the jacket and the "Golden Phoenix" nickname.

Yeah and she is still young with plenty of time to get better in the Ring. She's got to defend her Title against Utami and Tam in March if she is able to survive that I would say she could really be saying no one is going to stop me. Io, Arisa Hoshiki, and Momo Title reigns were amazing to watch for me because they fought against top ladies all the time and I'm loving seeing Saya doing the same thing.

Finished watching Cinderella Journey In Nagaoka show, some thoughts.

DDM vs DDM was great, though recently there is a lot of draws in Stardom, that was right decision here. Neither need to lose. Biggest thing coming from here is after match "friendly" tensions between Gulia and Syuri, leading up to their match for red starp.

Starlight Kid vs. AZM - was match of the night as expected. One of the best matches in recent times. Quick and flawless action from beginning. Some crazy good stuff from AZM in this match. Didn't expected her to win here, but I'm not disappointed. It's time for SLK to climb even here. Plus Cinderella tournament is just around the corner, so wo knows.

Saya Kamitani vs. Natsupoi - I liked built up to the match, where neither of wrestlers could beat each other. That nicely played part in the match since it was pretty much 50/50 action. Only thing that I didn't liked was, use of big moves. You could clearly see that wrestlers was going from spot to spot in some instances, and forgetting that the whole point of the match is to pin your opponent and not to do the biggest move possible on him and moving to nexr sequence.

For a C type show, it delivered.

Bangers everywhere as well as Kairi's Return Match vs Starlight Kid, and Gorilla Strong Saya vs Mirai. Let's not forget that Tag Title Shot where I can totally see Momo and SK winning that Match, and Jesus that Three Way for the High Speed Title.

Giulia and Syuri will be incredible. Most anticipated match from both nights for me. I expected Giulia to be the one to take the title from Syuri, but not this soon.

Syuri definitely beating Gulia here, so my most anticipated match is Syuri vs Mayu, match should be insane.

Usually I have a good feel on who will win this tourney but with so many ladies this Year it could legit go to multiple ladies. I need Stardom and they might show one later a Bracket on who will face who. AZM/Momo 1st Round that could be a Show stealer! Tam vs Utami as well my goodness.

Totally agree about unpredictably. And soo many bangers in round 1, just imagine what latter rounds would look like.
And also we have instant classic with Koguma vs. Fukigen Death match

We could be seeing Rematches like Momo/Syuri, and Mayu/Utami down the line. Man this is going to be great.

Yeah Stardom's roster is getting kinda bloated. Hopefully they lay off the signings for a while.
