Stardom continued the 5STAR GP today in Sendai to start off the usual weekend slate. Today’s event will feature only the Blue Blocks, which are way behind the Red Blocks due to international participation. On paper the highlight match it Itsuki Aoki trying to stay unbeaten against HANAKO in Block A, but as usual Block B has loaded matches, in particular Hanan vs. Starlight Kid.
The promotion will also begin fundraiser efforts for the Kumamoto earthquake recovery today, as the death toll has now risen to 34. The efforts will be led by Yuna Mizumori, who is from Kumamoto Prefecture. Fans will be able to make donations starting today and at all remaining tournament events through and including 8/23, which will be delivered at a later date.
Today’s event will be held at Sendai Pit in Sendai and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World. The event is a legit advance sellout. There will be no commentary. There are 8 matches planned, all 5STAR GP matches, so they’ll likely use a long intermission to get the event to the standard roughly 2 1/4 hour running time.
Today’s lineup (match order TBA-all matches are 5STAR GP matches, 15 minute time limit):
Blue A:
Aya Sakura vs. Ruaka
Itsuki Aoki vs. HANAKO
Miyu Amasaki vs. Rian
Hina vs. Julia Hart
Blue B:
Yuna Mizumori vs. Kikyo Furusawa
Hanan vs. Starlight Kid
Ami Sohrei vs. Momo Watanabe
Koguma vs. Saya Kamitani
