With the previous day’s show at Shinkiba bearing witness to everyone in Stardom getting in the challenging mood, you can only assume that this show was the start of us building to some of those matches. Throw in Saya Iida taking on Utami for the Future of Stardom Title, and you’ve got the basis for an entertaining show. Read on to find out if it was the case.

I’m a bit behind on my Stardom reviews thanks to the New Japan Cup. Panic not, though, because I shall eventually catch-up. The road to doing so starts at Shinkiba with a show headlined by Hazuki defending her High Speed title. Let’s have a peek at what went down.

Stardom ventured to Nagoya where they’d put together a fantastic card for the occasion. Not only did they bless us with Kyona vs Watanabe (a match which has been getting all the hype), but it was backed-up by Artist Of Stardom and SWA Title matches. It’s fun for all the family.

Having already worked a show on the afternoon of the 24th, Stardom turned around and did another one in the evening. I can’t imagine wrestling a match a month, never mind two in a day, so this always amazes me.

Towards the end of February, the Stardom roster made their way to Osaka where they were doing one of their two show days. This was the first one, so if they had all decided to take it easy, well, to be honest, I wouldn’t have blamed them. History suggested that wasn’t likely, though.

Stardom’s February trip to Korakuen Hall brings with it a new member for Oedo Tai, another youngster going after Hazuki’s High Speed title and a big tag team main event. On paper, this show had the potential to be very good, did it live up to that? Time to find out.

On their final stop before February’s trip to Korakuen Stardom gifted us a trio of singles matches. Wasn’t that nice of them? I guess we should get on with talking about them.

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.
