Rambles about the wonderful world of wrestling.
Stardom’s final show of the year has taken on all kinds of meaning. In many ways, it is setting up a new era for the company as they move forward under the stewardship of Bushiroad. However, it is a new era tinged by sadness as they said goodbye to Hazuki and had another wrestler announce their retirement (more on that later). Change is coming one way or another.

The build to Korakuen continues with Stardom not only putting Giulia’s debut on this show but backing it up with a good old-fashioned rookie tournament. You know that’s going to be great, right?

There is a chance this review could get emotional for reasons that I’m sure everyone is aware of. Still, it’s Stardom, and that always makes me happy even if it is also going to make me sad.

Tag League is done and dusted, but Stardom’s year is far from over. They were back in Shin-Kiba for a show headlined by Andras and Kagetsu defending their Artists Titles for the first time since things went, well, let’s go with sour. How did it go down? The picture is a bit of a spoiler, but read on to find out.

Stardom recently turned up at Toda Boat Race Event Hall for a random little show featuring only four matches. This is the kind of thing that I probably could ignore, but I’m pretty sure I’ve reviewed every Stardom show this year, so why stop now? Plus, the venue looked cool. I like it when wrestling events take place in rooms that aren’t your standard arenas. Does that make sense? It does to me.

On what was a massive weekend of wrestling in Japan, it would have made no sense for Stardom to miss out on all the fun. Their latest trip to Korakuen continued the Goddesses Tag League but also threw in a couple of big title matches with Jamie Hayter going after Arisa Hoshiki and Mayu Iwatani after Bea Priestley. What went down? Well, read on to find out.

With all that New Japan nonsense out of the way, our focus can shift back to the more important Tag League as Stardom’s continued in Shinkiba.

All good things must come to an end, and the 5STAR Grand Prix is definitely a good thing. The last show will see both blocks come to a conclusion and give us the final too, so strap in for a packed night of wrestling. Who is going to take home the crown? And will it be either of my picks (Hana from the heart, Watanabe from the head)? Let’s find out.

I told you that my very complicated maths said I’d be all caught up on the 5STAR before the next show. Sure, I am struggling to keep a handle on how many points everyone has and the number of matches they’ve wrestled, but ask me to figure out how much wrestling I can cram into a period and there are no issues at all. Anyway, on with the show!

Shout out to those behind the scenes at Stardom who after all the kerfuffle over there recently, have done a fantastic job catching up on these 5STAR shows. If my complicated maths is correct (there is no maths) I should be all caught up by the time the next show goes up, which is perfect. Well done them!
