On one hand I get the Saya turn. QQ is Rossy's baby and a lot of people associated with it left. Though it is a bit of a swerve. And as much as I am not the biggest fan of Tora at times, if booked right she can be a good final boss for a babyface to beat.

BUT SHE IS REBRANDING THE STABLE TO JUST HATE! COME ON! OEDO TAI IS A MUCH BETTER NAME! AT LEAST NAME IT HATE-GUN OR SOMETHING!

I have no doubt Saya will cook in the group like Momo, and Thekla do but you lost one of your top Babyfaces that was a major mistake I feel. Tora I've seen since her days being with Jungle Kyona I wasn't a fan of her then and will never be one because she doesn't feel to me what Oedo Tai was before she got into the fold at all for me. Oh and Ruaka is replacing Tora in the Grand Prix and don't get me started on her she's been in the Stardom program for ages and I could name multiple ladies with less years and they have her surpassed her as a talent like Saya, Utami.

Yeah, I still get the turn, but I expected a REALLY good potential for a fall and rise arc for her. Hopefully new babyfaces will rise up. A lot of the stable shake-ups have made sense with the depatures. ENexVenus, while not unified, was a decent solution to a number of DDM and Club Venus members who didn't fit elsewhere. SLK turning face again made sense with Thekla, Konami's heel turns. But the rebrand and this may be the first true swing and miss for the new bookers. As I said, no booker bats 1.000, but I hope they can prove us wrong with the summer.

FUCK IT! KIDDO WINS RED BELT AT END OF THE YEAR!

Some positive news:


Mei Seira new High Speed Champ! So Neo Genesis already gets some gold. Also I think it's nice she may be the high speed focused wrestler in their group since it gives the chance for Suzu, SLK, and AZM to aim for the red and white belts.

Major upset.

Now please Stardom:

GIVE SLK A BETTER RECORD THAN LAST YEAR, DAMNIT!

And Saya's new look gives me Io Sharai WWE vibes. It COOKS.

H.A.T.E somehow may end up being cooler evil vibes than Oedo Tai-

Yeah Stardom tends to do this when a outside talent comes in. Mandy Leon beat Io Shirai one Year during the Grand Prix.

AZM beat Momo God is good and she deserves that win. You could tell it meant alot to her to beat the former QQ leader.

"Okay. Oedo Tai is cool. But we need to refresh it? How do we do it? We got a new name. New members, turned SLK babyface and gave her a unit of her own. What else?"

"Give Konami a badass cape." 10/10

I can never deny that in general I'm a big fan of Outfits and Costumes in Wrestling. Joshi ladies never for some reason miss on their Outfits I wished the people who make their Clothes would be praised way more than they have in my opinion. Some of the ladies have a Story with their Outfits too example a few Outfits ago AZM had a Purple, White, Grey Outfit she wore when she was a High Speed Champion. She's a big fan of Neon Genesis Evangelion and she's been wearing Purple and such for so long. I need to check out that Anime I liked the Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury so in that same Vein I'm sure I would like it too.

Neon Genesis... Neo Genesis. Well played.

Also SLK has been matching her colours of her mask to her opponents or the match for years. Red, white, and blue mask for her US debut. Colours to match Mayu in their Five Star GP matches. All white entrance mask for her white belt match against Saya before she binged Linkin Park and saw Black Swan. Even matched Syuri's typical colours (BEFORE SHE CHANGED HER LOOK)

I'm convinced Thekla is in a for a monumental run to close out the year into 2025. Her new persona has definitely caught my attention. I dig her whole vibe.

Yeah I'm hoping she makes the finals. As for AZM she needs to win two Matches over Inaba and Seira to face Maika in the next Round. It's going to be a hard one for her to reach the Finals but a SK vs AZM Finals would be epic.

Not happy with those Results at all if any Year to give it to someone new this was the Year. I guess I'm going to need to root for Saya or Hanan over the other side.
