Stardom began a rather weird house show weekend today in Kobe.
Today’s event was held at Kobe Sambo Hall in Kobe and can be watched on demand on Stardom World. You can also watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.
The announced paid attendance was 595, a full house/near sellout.
There were late changes made to the card due to Hazuki & Maki Itoh being off the event. Hazuki-All Elite Wrestling participation in the US. Out this weekend and, based on the results of her match today, she may be out the next week as it looks like she’ll have another match next Saturday unless it is taped in advance (and even then it’s a toss-up because if the match was taped it’s not until Wednesday night US time which means Thursday in Japan). Itoh-missing.
Match 1: Utami Hayashishita beat Akira Kurogame. This marked the official in-ring return of Hayashishita to Stardom.
Match 2: Syuri, Ranna Yagami & Tomoka Inaba beat Natsuko Tora, Ruaka & Azusa Inaba. Syuri pinned Inaba after Ryutten Flame.
Match 3: Matoi Hamabe beat Waka Tsukiyama & Rian in a 3-way by pinning both.
And as it turns out, Kikyo Furusawa found Itoh in the crowd which affected the next match.
Match 4: In a handicap match, Maika & HANAKO beat Koguma, Maki Itoh & Kikyo Furusawa. Maika pinned Furusawa after a rolling lariat.
Match 5: Ami Sohrei, Hina & Kady C beat Starlight Kid, AZM & Ema Maishima. Sohrei pinned Maishima after Blue Thunder Bomb.
Match 6: Konami, Saya Kamitani, Bea Priestley & Rina beat Natsupoi, Yuna Mizumori, Aya Sakura & Anne Kanaya. Kamitani pinned Kanaya after Star Crusher.
