Rambles about the wonderful world of wrestling.
As Stardom continued the build to their next Korakuen show, there was intrigue in the air. Who is the mysterious X that Kagetsu has been talking about? I’m going to go out on a limb and say that it’s not going to be the same X that LIJ teased last year. Although, I would love to see Shingo Takagi take his place in the pre-match dance number.

Ramblings About has been reviewing Stardom for a little over a month now, so I wanted to use this intro to say how much I am enjoying it so far. Every show has left me with a smile on my face as they have quickly become one of my favourite wrestling companies. If you ain’t watching, you should.

Ah, KBS Hall. Is there a more beautiful location for wrestling? The stunning stained glass window that stands behind the ring always sends a shiver of pleasure down my spine. Judging by the pre-match promos throughout this show, the wrestlers appreciate it too, and it could turn even the dullest of affairs into a spectacle. This won’t be dull, though! It’s Stardom, we love Stardom. The beauty of the venue will only add to the talent in the ring.

Stardom’s fifth New Year Stars event of 2019 was all about building towards their Anniversary show in Osaka, and while there wasn’t much in the way of big singles matches, we are getting an Oedo Tai showdown in the main event. Throw in Hanan challenging for the Future Of Stardom Title, and there was every chance this would be an entertaining show.

After five shows in five days, Stardom finished their first run of 2019 off in Osaka. It’s not a shabby way to end either, as we’re getting another big main event from Starlight Kid as she attempts to take Hazuki’s High Speed Championship. Shall we see what happened? I think so.

This was Stardom’s fourth show of the year and their second to take place on the 5th of January. That’s one hell of a work rate. It’s also served as a perfect introduction to the company for me as I already feel like I’m getting a grip on who everyone is. Now watch as I make some massive mistake during this review.

It appears to be company policy at Stardom to hit the year at a sprint. This was their third show of 2019 and the first of two that they held on the 5th of January. I shall, of course, be reviewing both, so let’s get down to it.

Round two of my journey into Joshi came just 24 hours after the first as Japan’s early January wrestling buzz saw Stardom racking up the hours. As mentioned in my previous review, I’m very new to this company, to the extent that you could rightly claim I don’t know what is going on. With that in mind, please excuse any mistakes.
