I can easily simulcast 3 events live at the same time in my setup because one is a New Japan event and that has an Apple TV app, but to do 3 others on my laptop and tablet at the same time is too much)

Stardom 11/3/24 LIVE Results

Stardom continues the Goddess Of Stardom Tag League tournament today in Oita, their first visit there, with 5 total tournament matches scheduled. It’s a more even split today than in prior events so far with 3 Blue Block and 2 Red Block matches. Going into today all the Red Block teams will finally have had their first match while in the Blue Block there will be just one team left that hasn’t started their tournament yet (one more week before Momo Watanabe & Thekla finally join in).

Today’s event will be held at Oita Cycle Shop Kodama Ozu Arena Sub Arena in Oita and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World. There will be no commentary. There are 7 total matches planned so how long the event will run depends partly on if there’s an intermission, but I would anticipate about 2 1/4 hours.

IMPORTANT: If you’re watching live in the eastern US, remember to set your clocks back an hour at 2 AM!

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Syuri vs. HANAKO & Rian in a 3-way
Mayu Iwatani & Momo Kohgo vs. Maika & Mina Shirakawa, Yuna Mizumori & Aya Sakura and Natsuko Tora & Ruaka in a 4-way
Goddess Of Stardom Tag League:

9 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Oita Cycle Shop Kodama Ozu Arena Sub Arena in Oita, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. For the first time visiting Oita it looks like a legit sellout or very close to it, (it’s a gym-style venue with upper level seating that is not being used) I only see a couple empty seats. The configuration being used looks like 300-400. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 346)

A side note I forgot to add: The real stars of the event were two young infants seated with their parents near the entrance area. Many wrestlers including Mei Seira, Maika and others stopped and took the time to interact with them before and after their matches. A couple of the wrestlers even teased taking the babies home with them.

The next event is tomorrow at UMK Sports Studio In Miyazaki. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET. I am hoping to do live results although there will be another live event at the same time I plan to cover.
