Stardom continued the 5STAR GP yesterday with the penultimate day of the Blue Blocks.

Today’s event was held at Parse Izaka Convention Hall in Fukishima and can be watched on demand on Stardom World. You can also watch the pre-show match and first match FOR FREE on YouTube.

The paid attendance has not yet been announced.

Pre-show Match: Waka Tsukiyama beat Momo Kohgo & Rian in a 3-way by pinning Rian.

Before the main show began, Lady C appeared to greet the crowd. C, who is out with injury, was walking with one crutch and watched at least some of the event from ringside.

5STAR GP Blue Block:
Match 1: Block B: Ranna Yagami beat Hanan.
Match 2: Block Block A: Anna Jay beat Koguma by submission.

Match 3: Saki Kashima & Hina beat Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara and Rina & Natsuko Tora in a 3-way when Hina pinned Rina.

5STAR GP Blue Block:
Match 4: Block A: Starlight Kid vs. Miyu Amasaki went to a 15 minute time limit draw.
Match 5: Block B: Thekla beat Risa Sera by DQ. Ref assault after chair use.
Match 6: Block A: Syuri beat Gina.
Main Event: Block B: Saya Kamitani beat Suzu Suzuki.

Standings:
Block A:
1-Saori Anou, 3-1-1, 7 pts
2-Kid, 2-1-2, 6 pts
3-Syuri, 3-2, 6 pts
4-Jay, 3-3, 6 pts (OUT)
5-Koguma, 2-3, 4 pts (OUT)
6-Gina, 2-3, 4 pts (OUT)
7-Amasaki, 1-3-1, 3 pts (OUT)

Block B:
1-Kamitani, 4-1, 8 pts
2-Sera, 3-3, 6 pts
3-Suzuki, 2-2-1, 5 pts
4-Hanan, 2-2-1, 5 pts
5-Thekla, 2-3, 4 pts
6-Kashima, 2-3, 4 pts (OUT)
7-Yagami, 2-3, 4 pts (OUT)

The top 2 in each block advance to the Quarterfinals. In Block A, despite being tied for 2nd Jay is out because of tiebreakers and no matches left (among those still in it she only has the tiebreaker against Anou). In the final matches, Anou advances with a win (Koguma) or a draw if Syuri/Kid is a draw or no contest. The winner of Syuri/Kid, if there is one, advances. If Anou loses, she can only not advance if Kid/Syuri is a draw because her draw was against Kid, so it would get complicated. In Block B, Kamitani will finish first and advance. Sera still has a chance but possibly blew it with a DQ today (although Thekla got lucky not to get an immediate DQ at the start of the match). It does mean Sera’s only tiebreaker hope now is against Suzuki. So for Sera to advance, Suzuki must lose or draw in her last match (Yagami) and Hanan must lose her last match (Kamitani) and now Thekla must lose or draw in her last match (Kashima). Suzuki advances with a win and Hanan loss or draw. Hanan must win and Suzuki must lose or draw to advance. If both win, a tiebreaker match will likely be needed because their match was a draw. Thekla must win and Suzuki & Hanan both must lose to advance.

The next event is tomorrow at Yamagata Big Wing in Yamagata with all remaining Red and Blue Block matches-12 total-and one non-tournament match (Anna Jay & Hina vs. Rina & Natsuko Tora). Live streaming on Stardom World will begin TONIGHT at 9 PM PT/midnight ET. Due to schedule conflicts and other events I don’t know if I will be able to do live results yet.

Stardom began the penultimate days of the 5STAR GP today with the second-to-last day of the Red Blocks.

Today’s event was held at Sendai Pit in Sendai and can be watched on demand on Stardom World.

The announced paid attendance was 304.

Match 1: Momo Kohgo beat Sayaka Kurara & Rian in a 3-way by pinning Rian.

5STAR GP Red Block:
Match 2: Block B-Mayu Iwatani beat Mei Seira.
Match 3: Block A-Konami beat Yuna Mizumori by submission.

Match 4: Natsuko Tora, Ruaka & Rina beat Hina, Waka Tsukiyama & Aya Sakura. Rina pinned Hina after Pink Devil.

5STAR GP Red Block:
Match 5: Block B-Momo Watanabe beat Saya Iida.
Match 6: Block B-Tomoka Inaba beat Tam Nakano by submission.
Match 7: Block A-Natsupoi beat Aimi by submission.
Main Event: Block A-Maika beat Hazuki.

Standings:
Block A:
1-Maika, 5-0, 10 pts
2-Natsupoi, 4-1, 8 pts
3-Hazuki, 3-2, 6 pts
4-Konami, 3-3, 6 pts (OUT)
5-Aimi, 2-2-1, 5 pts (OUT)
6-Ruaka, 0-4-1, 1 pt (OUT)
7-Mizumiri, 0-5, 0 pts (OUT)

Block B:
1-AZM, 3-0-2, 8 pts
2-Inaba, 3-0-2, 8 pts
3-Iwatani, 4-1, 8 pts
4-Seira, 2-1-2, 6 pts
5-Watanabe, 2-4, 4 pts (OUT)
6-Iida, 1-4, 2 pts (OUT)
7-Nakano, 0-5, 0 pts (OUT)

The top 2 in each block advance to the Quarterfinals. In Block A, Maika has clinched one of the top 2 spots and advances no matter what. The Natsupoi-Hazuki winner on the final day will also advance, but Natsupoi also advances with a draw. In Block B the top 4 are still alive but a 4-way tie is almost certainly not going to happen. First the easy scenarios for the last day-the Iwatani-Inaba winner advances and AZM advances with a win or draw (Iida). If all 3 wind up tied due to draws, tiebreakers suggest the one out is Iwatani because she lost to AZM. Seira mathematically has a chance but needs a lot of help because she has no tiebreakers-she lost to Iwatani and had draws against AZM & Inaba.

The next event which it today at Parse Izaka in Fukushima is just underway as of this post with Blue Block action (they finished up a pre-show dark match). It is live and on demand on Stardom World and the first match (Hanan-Ranna Yagami) will be available FOR FREE on YouTube. (Also the show began with Lady C coming out to greet the crowd briefly. She was walking with a crutch but didn’t seem to hindered but this suggests she’s going to be out months)

Stardom continued the 5STAR GP today with the Blue Blocks in Osaka.

Today’s event was held at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka and can be watched on demand on Stardom World.

The announced paid attendance was 509.

All matches were 5STAR GP matches.

Match 1: Blue Block A-Anna Jay beat Miyu Amasaki.

Match 2: Blue Block B-Risa Sera beat Ranna Yagami.

Match 3: Blue Block A-Koguma beat Syuri.

Match 4: Blue Block B-Saki Kashima beat Saya Kamitani.

Match 5: Blue Block B-Suzu Suzuki beat Thekla.

Main Event: Blue lock A-Saori Anou beat Gina.

Standings (Blue Block):
Block A:
1-Anou, 3-1-1, 7 pts
2-Starlight Kid, 2-1-1, 5 pts
3-Koguma, 2-2, 4 pts
4-Syuri, 2-2, 4 pts
5-Gina, 2-2, 4 pts
6-Jay, 2-3, 4 pts
7-Amasaki, 1-3, 2 pts

Block B:
1-Kamitani, 3-1, 6 pts
2-Sera, 3-2, 6 pts
3-Suzuki, 2-1-1, 5 pts
4-Hanan, 2-1-1, 5 pts
5-Kashima, 2-3, 4 pts
6-Yagami, 1-3, 2 pts (OUT)
7-Thekla, 1-3, 2 pts (OUT)

The top 2 in each block advance to the Quarterfinals. In Block A, Anou moves on if she beats Koguma in her final match. Everyone else is still in it but they (and definitely Amasaki & Jay) need Kid-Gina to be a no contest or some no point scenario. Right now Anou holds all the relevant tiebreakers as her only loss so far is to Jay, but she went to a draw against Kid. In Block B, Kashima was denied a Quarterfinals spot today by Kamitani but still has a key tiebreaker because she beat Sera already. Yagami & Thekla are now out because of tiebreakers while Kashima stayed alive largely because she’s now beaten Kamitani and also Hanan but would lose to Sera. Kamitani has Suzuki next but needs help to advance before her final match but perhaps fortunately for her it’s Yagami. Sera is in a bad spot because she only has one match left while Suzuki & Hanan have two. Interestingly, both have the same remaining foes-Yagami & Kamitani-and remember the Suzuki-Hanan result was a draw so if they tie for one spot we’ll probably need a rematch.

The next event is Friday at Sendai Pit in Sendai with the Red Blocks. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin at 2:30 AM PT/5:30 AM ET.
