Following her actions post-match at yesterday’s Stardom event, where she beat down everyone in range and not just wrestlers, Thekla has been given the following punishment due to assaulting management: A 3 WEEK SUSPENSION WITHOUT PAY, AND a $2000 fine (this apparently is in addition to the suspension). That means she is out until the 12/22 event. The staffer was hospitalized but diagnosed with only bruising and is out a week. He didn’t want Thekla to be punished but because it wasn’t negligence on his part and it was an intentional attack, plus President Taro Okada has a vendetta against Thekla and H.A.T.E., it was decided on. The social media war has started already.

More as it becomes available.

Stardom wraps up the preliminary round of the Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Tournament today, and there is a lot at stake in these final matches. The top 3 in each block advance but only the winners go to the Semifinals, the other 2 teams must face off in an elimination match for that second spot. In the Red Block, Hazuki & Koguma will win and advance to the Semifinals and Maika & HANAKO will finish 2nd because of tiebreakers (their only loss so far is to Hazuki & Koguma) but that leaves 3rd and who they will face up for grabs and it’s wide open. Plus Maika & HANAKO can play spoiler by keeping Tam Nakano & Sayaka Kurara possibly out of 3rd by beating them. Beyond that it’ll all but come down to tiebreakers. In the Blue Block, Saori Anou & Natsupoi will win and advance to the Semifinals but 4 teams have a chance at the other two spots. Mei Seira & Cohaku unfortunately had their last match yesterday (they did their part and won) so they can only hope tiebreakers may go their way. Momo Watanabe & Thekla face Hanan & Saya Iida in perhaps the most critical match, both must win and, in the latter’s case, hope that Ranna Yagami & Lady C can somehow pull another upset and beat Starlight Kid & Suzu Suzuki. It’s all but going to come down to tiebreakers and draws will be a factor. Buckle up for a wild ride.

Today’s event will be held at Duo Cerezo in Niigata and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World. There will be no commentary. There are 8 matches scheduled and probably will be an intermission at some point so I anticipate this match will have a running time of about 2 1/2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Mayu Iwatani & Momo Kohgo vs. Ranna Yagami & Matoi Hamabe
Natsupoi vs. Mei Seira & Rina in a 3-way
Goddess Of Stardom Tag League:
Red Block:

6:50 PM PT UPDATE: You will also be able to watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube. That stream is scheduled to begin 10 minutes before the event.

8 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Duo Cerezo in Niigata, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced later today or tomorrow. The venue normally is used for weddings so it’s a small setup but looks full or close to it. Not having seen live events here before I’m going to guess the setup is for maybe 400, whatever it’s for the number should be close to a sellout. (Not a legit sellout, at the end I saw rows of empty seats but all towards the back and only 2-3 rows) (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 426)

Match card order announcement. Syuri/Saki Kashima vs. Natsuko Tora/Ruaka in the Red Block will be today’s main event.

The matches begin at 8:05 PM PT/11:05 PM ET.

Match 1: Mayu Iwatani & Momo Kohgo vs. Ranna Yagami & Matoi Hamabe. 15 minute time limit
Result: Ranna Yagami & Matoi Hamabe beat Mayu Iwatani & Momo Kohgo. Yagami beat Kohgo. First career win for Hamabe!

Match 2: Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Blue Block: Yuna Mizumori & Aya Sakura vs. Waka Tsukiyama & Rian. 20 minute time limit. Both teams cannot advance regardless of result.
Result: Yuna Mizumori & Aya Sakura beat Waka Tsukiyama & Rian. Sakura beat Tsukiyama with an armbar.
Mizumori & Sakura finish 3-5, 6 points. Tsukiyama & Rian finish 2-6, 4 points.

The YouTube broadcast ends here.

Match 3: Natsupoi vs. Mei Seira & Rina in a 3-way. 15 minute time limit
Result: Natsupoi beat Mei Seira & Rina in a 3-way by pinning Rina.

Match 4: Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Red Block: Maika & HANAKO vs. Tam Nakano & Sayaka Kurara. 20 minute time limit. Maika & HANAKO will finish 2nd and advance to the elimination match. Nakano & Kurara must win to have any chance to finish 3rd & advance to a rematch.
Result: Maika & HANAKO beat Tam Nakano & Sayaka Kurara. HANAKO pinned Kurara.
Maika & HANAKO finish 7-1, 14 points. Nakano & Kurara finish 3-5, 6 points and need miracles to advance, meaning no contests to come and tiebreakers.

Match 5: Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Blue Block: Starlight Kid & Suzu Suzuki vs. Ranna Yagami & Lady C. 20 minute time limit. Kid & Suzuki must win or draw-just get points-to advance to the elimination match because there are no clear tiebreakers right now due to their matches against both teams being draws.
Result: Starlight Kid & Suzu Suzuki beat Ranna Yagami & Lady C. Kid pinned C.
Kid & Suzuki finish 4-1-3, 11 points. Yagami & C finish 2-6, 4 points.
As a result, Kid & Suzuki will finish either 2nd or 3rd and advance to the elimination match against the winner of Momo Watanabe & Thekla vs. Hanan & Saya IIda.

Match 6: Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Red Block: AZM & Miyu Amasaki vs. Konami & Saya Kamitani. 20 minute time limit. Both must win to have any chance of advancing and if one team (or both) earns a point, Tam Nakano & Sayaka Kurara are eliminated. (That would also officially eliminate Mayu Iwatani & Momo Kohgo as their only hope is long-shot tiebreakers)
Result: Time Limit Draw. 1 point for each.
Both finish 3-4-1, 7 points and must wait for the main event to determine what will happen. They’re going to need a no contest or some kind of zero points for both scenario to have any chance. This makes tiebreakers very unclear. If one of the main event teams win, both are eliminated. As a result, Tam Nakano & Sayaka Kurara are now eliminated. Mayu Iwatani & Momo Kohgo are also officially eliminated.

Intermission.

The matches resume at 10 PM PT/1 AM ET.

Match 7: Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Blue Block: Hanan & Saya Iida vs. Momo Watanabe & Thekla. 20 minute time limit. The winner will finish 3rd and advance to the elimination match. If it’s a draw, Watanabe & Thekla will advance. If it’s a no contest or scenario where both teams get no points, Mei Seira & Cohaku will advance on tiebreakers.
Result: Hanan & Saya Iida beat Momo Watanabe & Thekla by countout.
Both finish 4-3-1, 9 points. But because of this result, Hanan & Iida will finish 3rd and advance to the elimination match against Suzuki & Kid. The winneres will face Natsupoi & Saori Anou in the Semifinals. Watanabe & Thekla are out and now will almost certainly defend the Goddesses Of Stardom Championship against the eventual tournament winners. Thekla beat down both afterwards, possibly knocking out both.

Main Event: Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Red Block: Syuri & Saki Kashima vs. Natsuko Tora & Ruaka. 20 minute time limit. If there is a winner, they will advance. If it’s a draw or no contest/no points scenario, it goes to complicated tiebreakers.
Result: Natsuko Tora & Ruaka beat Syuri & Saki Kashima. Tora pinned Syuri.
Tora & Ruaka finish 4-4, 8 points. Syuri & Kashima finish 3-5, 6 points.
As a result, Tora & Ruaka finish 3rd and advance to the elimination match to face Maika & HANAKO. The winner of that match will face Hazuki & Koguma in the Semifinals. Maika & HANAKO immediately came out after the match. Hanan & Iida also came back out despite the H.A.T.E. beatdown after they beat Kamitani & Konami, as did Kid & Suzuki. Basically everyone except Hazuki & Koguma who presumably were not here today. Short promo by Tora. Afterwards everyone left except Kid, who scrambled for the microphone to send the crowd home happy.

The elimination matches and Semifinals are Saturday at Act City Hamamatsu Event Hall Block 2 in Shizuoka. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin at 1 AM PT/4 AM ET.

Stardom runs their first event in Shimono City today, a significant one as it’s a homecoming for the promotion’s sisters-Hanan, Hina & Rina, who will all get to compete in their hometown for the first time in their young careers. The girls have been making the promotional rounds, including big sister Hanan visiting the city mayor & little sisters Hina & Rina-who are also twins-joining in after finishing their schoolwork for the week. While the Goddess Of Stardom Tag League will continue today (it’s the penultimate day of the preliminary round), the sisters will be in the main event spotlight as they team up for a trios match, unique because Rina is a heel while Hanan & Hina are not. But for one day at least the sisters will hopefully put their in-ring differences aside and showcase why they are considered a huge part of Stardom’s future (they’ve had big moments this year including Hanan winning the annual Cinderella Tournament and Rina reigning as record-setting Future Of Stardom Champion for most of the year and still the current New Blood Tag Team Champion).

Today’s event will be held at Ishibashi Sports Center in Tochigi and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World. There will be no commentary. Fans will also be allowed to throw streamers/paper tape into the ring for the sisters’ intros in the main event. There are 8 total matches scheduled so exactly how long the event may run depends on if there’s an intermission. If yes, it’ll probably be closer to 2 1/2 hours and if no then closer to 2 hours. The longest it could go is roughly 3 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA except main event):
Aya Sakura vs. Matoi Hamabe & Natsuko Tora in a 3-way
Suzu Suzuki & Yuna Mizumori vs. Lady C & Ranna Yagami
Goddess Of Stardom Tag League:
Blue Block: Natsupoi & Saori Anou vs. Waka Tsukiyama & Rian
Blue Block: Mei Seira & Cohaku vs. Momo Watanabe & Thekla
Red Block: Hazuki & Koguma vs. Saya Kamitani & Konami
Red Block: Syuri & Saki Kashima vs. AZM & Miyu Amasaki
Red Block: Mayu Iwatani & Momo Kohgo vs. Tam Nakano & Sayaka Kurara
Main Event: Hanan, Hina & Rina vs. Starlight Kid, Ruaka & Saya Iida

7 PM PT UPDATE: You will also be able to watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube. That stream is scheduled to begin at 7:50 PM PT/10:50 PM ET.

8 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Ishibashi Sports Center in Tochigi, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. First time here and it’s a small venue with a setup for maybe 400 tops, and what we can see iniitially is one or two seats from full, which soon filled up. Might be a legit sellout, I’ll guess near 400. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 508, a full house/near sellout)

Hanan & Hina come out first to open the event. No Rina, maybe because she’s the heel. After greeting & warming up the crowd they bring in who I’m guessing is the Shimano City mayor to say a few words.

Today’s lineup announcement. YouTube gets a Blue Block tournament match and the 3-way.

The matches begin at 8:10 PM PT/11:10 PM ET.

Match 1: Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Blue Block: Natsupoi & Saori Anou vs. Waka Tsukiyama & Rian. 20 minute time limit
Result: Natsupoi & Saori Anou beat Waka Tsukiyama & Rian. Anou beat Rian.
Natsupoi/Anou are 6-1-1, 12 points and are finished with their matches. Tsukiyama/Rian are 2-5, 4 points and are out.
As a result, Natsupoi/Anou will advance with a top 3 finish secured and will be 1st if Momo Watanabe/Thekla do not win their last 2 matches-if that happens they advance to the Semifinals. Otherwise it’s the 2nd place and the elimination match against the 3rd place team.

Match 2: Aya Sakura vs. Matoi Hamabe & Natsuko Tora in a 3-way. 15 minute time limit
Result: Natsuko Tora beat Aya Sakura & Matoi Hamabe in a 3-way by pinning Hamabe. Apparently a very young fan in the back was scared of Tora leading to some fun near-interactions pre and post-match.

The YouTube broadcast ends here.

Match 3: Suzu Suzuki & Yuna Mizumori vs. Lady C & Ranna Yagami. 15 minute time limit
Result: Suzu Suzuki & Yuna Mizumori beat Lady C & Ranna Yagami. Suzuki pinned C. The winners didn’t get along at all after Mizumori surprised Suzuki by running up behind her during entrances. This continued after the match.

Match 4: Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Red Block: Hazuki & Koguma vs. Saya Kamitani & Konami. 20 minute time limit
Result: Hazuki & Koguma beat Saya Kamitani & Konami. Koguma pinned Kamitani.
Hazuki & Koguma are 7-1, 14 points and are finished. Kamitani & Konami are 3-4, 6 points with one match left and must win and get help to advance. Hazuki & Koguma will advance, whether they finish 1st or 2nd in the block will be determined by Maika & HANAKO in their final match tomorrow.

Match 5: Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Red Block: Syuri & Saki Kashima vs. AZM & Miyu Amasaki. 20 minute time limit
Result: AZM & Miyu Amasaki beat Syuri & Saki Kashima. AZM pinned Kashima.
Both are 3-4, 6 points with one match left. Both must win tomorrow and get help to have a chance to be 3rd and advance.

Match 6: Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Red Block: Mayu Iwatani & Momo Kohgo vs. Tam Nakano & Sayaka Kurara. 20 minute time limit
Result: Mayu Iwatani & Momo Kohgo beat Tam Nakano & Sayaka Kurara. Kohgo pinned Kurara.
Iwatani & Kohgo are 3-5, 6 points and done. Nakano & Kurara are 3-4, 6 points with one match left. Nakano & Kurara now must win tomorrow and get a lot of help to advance. Iwatani & Kohgo can only hope for no contests & tiebreakers to have any chance.

Match 7: Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Blue Block: Mei Seira & Cohaku vs. Momo Watanabe & Thekla. 20 minute time limit
Reslut: Mei Seira & Cohaku beat Momo Watanabe & thekla. Seira pinned Watanabe.
Both are now at 9 points, but at 4-3-1 Seira & Cohaku are now done and need help to advance-basically a miracle because of tiebreakers and that draw, plus Starlight Kid & Saya Iida must lose their last match tomorrow (Ranna Yagami & Lady C). Watanabe & Thekla are 4-2-1 with one match left, and against Hanan & Saya Iida it’s now must-win.
As a result of all this, Saori Anou & Natsupoi will now win the Blue Block and advance to the Semifinals.

Intermission.

The event resumes at 10:15 PM PT/1:15 AM ET.

Main Event: Hanan, Hina & Rina vs. Starlight Kid, Ruaka & Saya Iida. 30 minute time limit
Result: Hanan, Hina & Rina beat Starlight Kid, Ruaka & Saya Iida. Hanan pinned Ruaka with a backdrop hold. The post-match promos were interesting because Hanan & Iida and Kid & Suzu Suzuki have their final tournament matches tomorrow but not against each other. Iida put Hanan over before departing to let the sisters finish & send the crowd home happy, although Rina acted all heel again but she did get her chance with the microphone. Hanan led the crowd in doing the STARS “S” hand sign to finish although of course Rina didn’t do it. She’s with H.A.T.E. after all.

Even with the intermission this was a much longer event than I anticipated at almost 3 hours. But I think it’s safe to say the sisters’ first hometown Stardom event won’t be their last, this was a big success.

The next event is tomorrow at Duo Cerezo in Niigata for the final day of the tournament preliminary round. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET, I will try and do live results again.

The December Stardom World schedule is all live events except 12/14 & 12/15. There are 2 PPVs scheduled-12/8 for the second of 2 events at Act City Hamamatsu in Shizuoka for the tournament Finals, and 12/29 for STARDOM DREAM QUEENDOM 2024, the year-end blowout event, at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo. There will be a NEW BLOOD event on YouTube on 12/26, and the 12/24 Korakuen Hall event will be available live FOR FREE on both Stardom World and YouTube. You may want to set a YouTube bookmark when it becomes available because it’s a 1:30 AM PT/4:30 AM ET start.

Stardom continued the Goddess Of Stardom Tag League yesterday in Sendai.

Yesterday’s event was held at Aztec Museum Sendai Industrial Exhibition Hall in Sendai and will be available on demand on Stardom World at a later date. There was no live broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 297.

Match 1: Waka Tsukiyama & HANAKO beat Maika & Rian. HANAKO pinned Rian.

Match 2; Mei Seira, Starlight Kid & Suzu Suzuki beat Hanan, Momo Kohgo & Motoi Hanabe. Kid beat Hanan with Black Tiger Leg Murder.

Match 3: Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Blue Block: Yuna Mizumori & Aya Sakura beat Hina & Lady C. Mizumori pinned Hina after Supergirl.

Match 4: Mayu Iwatani, Hazuki, Koguma & Saya Iida beat Natsuko Tora, Konami, Saya Kamitani & Ruaka. Iwatani pinned Ruaka after a moonsault press.

Goddess Of Stardom Tag League:
Match 5: Red Block: AZM & Miyu Amasaki beat Tomoka Inaba & Ranna Yagami. AZM pinned Inaba after Azumi Sushi.
Match 6: Blue Block: Rina & Azusa Inaba beat Momo Watanabe & Thekla. Rina beat Thekla with Hydranzia.
Main Event: Red Block: Tam Nakano & Sayaka Kurara beat Syuri & Saki Kashima. Kurara pinned Kashima.

Standings:
Red Block:
1-Hazuki/Koguma, 6-1, 12 pts (Advanced)
2-Maika/HANAKO, 5-1, 10 pts
3-Kamitani/Konami, 3-2, 6 pts
4-Tora/Ruaka, 3-3, 6 pts
5-Syuri/Kashima, 3-3, 6 pts
6-Nakano/Kurara, 2-3, 4 pts
7-Iwatani/Kohgo, 2-4, 4 pts
8-AZM/Amasaki, 2-4, 4 pts
9-Inaba/Yagami, 1-6, 2 pts (OUT)

Blue Block:
1-Saori Anou/Natsupoi, 4-1-2, 10 pts
2-Watanabe/Thekla, 4-1-1, 9 pts
3-Rina/Inaba, 4-3, 8 pts
4-Kid/Suzuki, 2-1-3, 7 pts
5-Seira/Cohaku, 3-3-1, 7 pts
6-Hanan/Iida, 2-3-1, 5 pts
7-Tsukiyama/Rian, 2-3, 4 pts
8-Mizumori/Sakura, 2-4, 4 pts
9-Hina/C, 1-5, 2 pts (OUT)

The top 3 in each block advance, with the winners of each block going to the Semifinals and the other 2 teams facing each other for the second spot. At this point Hazuki/Koguma will advance because the only team that has tiebreakers over them right now is Syuri/Kashima who can’t catch up. Maika/HANAKO are all but through as their only loss so far is to Hazuki/Koguma. They just need one more point or any team below them getting another loss or draw to make it definite. Anyone except Inaba/Yagami can still finish 3rd but Kamitani/Konami and Nakano/Kurara have the advantage of two matches left against one for the others.
In the Blue Block, the only certainty is Anou/Natsupoi will advance if they win their final match. Watanabe/Thekla advance with either 2 wins or a win & draw in their last 2 or is Kid/Suzuki don’t win both their remaining matches-their matchup was a draw so them being tied would complicate things. Rina/Inaba hold third for now but they have only one match left. Mizumori/Sakura are not out only because they beat Rina/Inaba while Tsukiyama/Rian still have a chance because they have 3 matches left. Hina/C are out.

The latest event was earlier today, results will be posted when available. There was no live broadcast.

The next event is Saturday at Ishibashi Sports Center in Tochigi, which will also be a hometown event for the Stardom sisters-Hanan, Hina & Rina. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin Friday at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET.

Stardom runs their monthly NEW BLOOD event today, taking their developmental series to Osaka for a special NEW BLOOD WEST installment. As is normally the case, it will feature a mix of younger & less experienced Stardom wrestlers and similar from other promotions including freelancers. A new wrestler is also slated to debut today, currently named Matoi (ring name TBA at a later date) following an exhibition practice appearance at a recent event. The main event will likely be a New Blood Tag Team Championship match as Rina & Azusa Inaba, who are also in this year’s Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Tournament, defend the titles against Ranna Yagami & Lady C.

Today’s event will be held at Osaka Azalea Taisho in Osaka and can be watched LIVE FOR FREE only on YouTube. It will not be available live on Stardom World. There will be no commentary. These events are on the shorter side and there are only 5 matches planned so the event will probably run a little over 90 minutes but less than 2 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Matoi Debut Match: Matoi vs. Hanan
Mei Seira & Miyu Amasaki vs. Yuna Mizumori & Momoka Hanazono
Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara vs. Sumiko Yanagawa & Misa Kamihime
HANAKO & Rian vs. ZONES & ChiChi

We are LIVE from Osaka Azalea Taisho in Osaka, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. This is a very small venue that typically averages around 200 for wrestling events, the seating I can see looks full or close to it. I’m not too familiar with the capacity but from what I know about the past I’ll guess it’ll be around that 200 figure. (UPDATE: It has not yet been announced but it was a legit advance sellout) (UPDATE 2: The announced paid attendance was 246)

The matches should begin in a few minutes.

The matches begin at 8:03 PM PT/11:03 PM ET.

Match 1: Matoi Hamabe Debut Match: Matoi Hamabe vs. Hanan. 15 minute time limit
Result: Hanan beat Matoi Hamabe by submission. But a very good effort from the newcomer in her debut, showing a lot of potential and nearly pulled the upset on a few occasions. Afterwards, Hanan with microphone. She put Hamabe over and thanked her before letting Hamabe have the microphone for post-debut comments.

Match 2: Mei Seira & Miyu Amasaki vs. Yuna Mizumori & Momoka Hanazono (Independent/Freelancer). And some kind of bubble machine with Hanazono. 20 minute time limit
Result: Mei Seira & Miyu Amasaki beat Yuna Mizumori & Momoka Hanazono. Seira pinned Mizumori after a Hanazono weapon attack backfired and Seira ducked so she hit Mizumori instead.

Match 3: Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara vs. Sumiko Yanagawa & Misa Kamihime (Just Tap Out/JTO). 20 minute time limit. As was the case in match 2 entrance music is muted for the outsiders (copyrights).

(Update: I planned to try and do live results but there are 3 other major events at the same time so this one will be the odd event out. 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)
