Stardom returned to Tochigi today for the annual Stardom Sisters hometown event, shining the spotlight on the real-life sister trio of Hanan, Hina & Rina.

Today’s event was held at Light Cube Utsunomiya in Tochigi and can be watched on demand on Stardom World. You can also watch the first 3 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.

The announced paid attendance was 792, a full house/near sellout.

There was a last-minute change to the card due to Natsuko Tora being pulled off the event. The always vague poor health. Replacement was TBA at match time.

Match 1: Yuria Hime Return Match: Saya Kamitani & Ruaka beat Saya Iida & Yuria Hime. Kamitani pinned Hime after Star Crusher.

Match 2: Syuri beat Matoi Hamabe.

Match 3: Konami, Azusa Inaba & TBA-the Natsuko Tora replacement, revealed at match time to be Suzu Suzuki, beat Ami Sohrei, Lady C & Ranna Yagami. Inaba pinned Yagami.

Match 4: Maika & HANAKO beat Natsupoi & Saori Anou and Maki Itoh & Kiyoka Kokatsu in a 3-way when Maika pinned Kokatsu.

Match 5: Aya Sakura & Yuna Mizumori beat Kikyo Furusawa & Rian. Sakura pinned Furusawa with a German suplex hold.

Match 6: Suzu Suzuki, Rina Yamashita, Itsuki Aoki & Akira Kurogame beat Starlight Kid, Hazuki, Koguma & Fuwa-chan. Suzuki pinned Kid after Tequila Shot. This was the second match of the day for Suzuki.

Match 7: Rina beat Utami Hayashishita. Afterwards, Rina promo noted this was one of the things she “foretold” after winning the 5STAR GP. But STILL no hints as to when she’ll take the title shot prize.

Main Event: Wonder Of Stardom Champion Hanan beat Hina to retain the title. V5 for Hanan. Once again big sister triumphs over little sister. If you look at championships and major accolades, despite being the middle sister Hina has clearly been left behind and not had nearly the success that Hanan & Rina have experienced to date, with Hanan clearly being a cornerstone of Stardom’s future and Rina becoming the youngest 5STAR GP winner yet and the greatest Future Of Stardom Champion to date (but Ranna Yagami is making a serious run at the latter) while, outside of some tag team/trios success Hina has accomplished very little to nothing and has struggled greatly against her big sister & little sister. Hopefully soon the breakthrough will come.

The next event is Tuesday at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo with a New Blood Tag Team Championship match that also is the return of Sayaka Kurara from injury. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin at 2:30 AM PT/5:30 AM ET.

UPDATE: Koguma is now off Tuesday’s event. Family circumstances. She was to have been in a 3-way match with Haxuki & Fuwa-chan against Ami Sohrei, Lady C & Kiyoka Kokatsu and Rina Yamashita, Itsuki Aoki & Maki Itoh. Changes TBA.

UPDATE 2: So is Tora. The always vague poor health again. She was to have teamed with Konami, Saya Kamitani & Ruaka to face Hanan, Maika, Utami Hayashishita & Waka Tsukiyama. It’s now a 6-woman tag as Tsukiyama has been pulled from this match and will be the Koguma replacement in the 3-way above.

Stardom began their usual weekend house show slate today in Yamagata.

Today’s event was held at Sagar City Civic Gym in Yamagata and will be available on demand on Stardom World at a later date. There was no live.broadcast.

Stardom finished up their weekend slate today in Yamanashi.

Today’s event was held at Ainesse Yamanashi in Yamanashi and will be available on demand on Stardom World at a later date. There was no live broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 474.

There were late changes to the original card due to Suzu Suzuki, Anne Kanaya & Waka Tsukiyama all being pulled off the event. Suxuki-the always vague poor health. Expected back next event. Kanaya & Tsujiyama-unspecified injuries in training. Statuses uncertain. This meant Utami Hayashishita competed in 2 matches today

Match 1: Starlight Kid & Mei Seira beat Utami Hayashishita & Matoi Hamabe. Seira pinned Hamabe after Meteor Dragon.

Match 3: Koguma & Fuwa-chan beat Lady C & Kiyoka Kokatsu. Koguma pinned Kokatsu after a diving body press.

UPDATE: Tsukiyama & Kanaya will return on 10/20. Suzuki will return Saturday.

Stardom continues their weekend slate today with a matinee in Tokyo. With just over 2 weeks until the next PPV, the plan was to continue the build to some upcoming major title matches but, unfortunately, plans changed. There also was a title match added earlier this week as Yuna Mizumori will defend the High Speed Championship against Natsupoi, who apparently is getting her last chance to win the title before retirement in just under 3 months.

There have been many changes to the planned card due to Suzu Suzuki & Anne Kanaya being pulled off the event. Suzuki-the always vague poor health. Kanaya-unspecified injury in training. Both are also off the next event.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World, presumably in Japanese. With the card changes there currently are 7 matches planned, with the intermission I imagine the card will have a standard Korakuen running time of about 2 1/2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Aya Sakura vs. Kikyo Furusawa & Rian in a handicap match
Utami Hayashishita, Waka Tsukiyama & Matoi Hamabe vs. Konami, Ruaka & Rina
Ranna Yagami & Kiyoka Kokatsu vs. Saya Kamitani & Azusa Inaba
Saori Anou vs. Rina Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Natsuko Tora in a 4-way
Hanan, Saya Iida & HANAKO vs. Syuri, Hina & Lady C
Starlight Kid, AZM, Miyu Amasaki, Mei Seira & Ema Maishima vs. Itsuki Aoki, Akira Kurogame, Hazuki, Koguma & Fuwa-chan
High Speed Champion Yuna Mizumori vs. Natsupoi for the title

Pre-Show Update 2 (7 PM PT): There has been another last-minute change to the card due to Waka Tsukiyama being pulled off the event. Unspecified injury in training that kept her out yesterday. The 6-woman tag she was in is now a handicap match.

Also, today’s event will be available in Japanese and English.

7:15 PM PT UPDATE: Both live streams have now begun. We should be going to the venue in 15 minutes. A last-minute change was made to the YouTube broadcast-instead of the first 2 matches, it will now be the first 3 matches. Japanese will be on the Stardom Official YouTube Channel. English will be on the Stardom Global YouTube Channel.

7:20 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Commentary will join later. It looks like this is a Samurai! TV broadcast in Japan.

The paid attendance may or may not be announced after the event. Not quite a sellout, from what I can see it looks like at least 1300. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1457, a full house/near sellout)

Yuria Hime comes out to open the show. She announces she will be returning from injury soon, possibly next week. (Follow-up: She will return on 10/18)

Updates will resume in about 10 minutes when the matches begin. The first 3 matches listed above will be the YouTube matches. And actually what’s listed above is the official match order. Title match is the main event.

The matches begin at 7:33 PM PT/10:33 PM ET. Japanese commentary begins now. Your hosts are Haruo Murata & Makoto Oe.

Match 1: Aya Sakura vs. Kikyo Furusawa & Rian in a handicap match. 15 minute time limit. Sayaka Kurara, who is out due to injury, is seconding Sakura.
Result: Aya Sakura beat Kikyo Furusawa & Rian by pinning Furusawa. Furusawa & Rian tried to drag Kurara in late for a beatdown but it backfired. For a handicap match they had some very creative spots. Afterwards, they made it sound like Kurara is close to returning and they set up a potential New Blood Tag Team Championship match between them when she does.

Match 2: Utami Hayashishita & Matoi Hamabe vs. Konami, Ruaka & Rina in a handicap match. 20 minute time limit
Result: Konami, Ruaka & Rina beat Utami Hayashishita & Matoi Hamabe. Rina pinned Hayashishita after Pink Devil. After the huge win for her, Rina with microphone. She tore into Hayashishita and seemingly demanded a single match.

Match 3: Ranna Yagami & Kiyoka Kokatsu vs. Saya Kamitani & Azusa Inaba. 20 minute time limit
Result: Saya Kamitani & Azusa Inaba beat Ranna Yagami & Kiyoka Kokatsu. Inaba pinned Yagami. Afterwards, Inaba with microphone. Future Of Stardom Championship challenge issued.

Match 4: Saori Anou vs. Rina Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Natsuko Tora in a 4-way. 15 minute time limit
Result: Saori Anou, Maki Itoh & Natsuko Tora beat Rina Yamashita in a 4-way because all 3 pinned Yamashita together. That was crazy. Mostly a comedy match.

Match 5: Hanan, Saya Iida & HANAKO vs. Syuri, Hina & Lady C. 20 minute time limit
Result: Hanan, Saya Iida & HANAKO beat Syuri, Hina & Lady C. Iida pinned C after a lariat. Afterwards, despite the loss, Hina with microphone. Going right after her sister Hanan again to continue build to their Wonder Of Stardom Championship match.

Intermission.

Result: Starlight Kid, AZM, Miyu Amasaki, Mei Seira & Ema Maishima beat Itsuki Aoki, Akira Kurogame, Hazuki, Koguma & Fuwa-chan. Kid pinned Kurogame after a moonsault press. Afterwards, Kid with microphone. Apparently today was the 11th anniversary of her debut.

It was also announced that Sayaka Kurara is returning and the New Blood Tag Team Championship match is now official. That match will happen on 10/20.

Fallout from the main event has led to a mixed tag match added to the 10/29 PPV: Natsupoi and her new husband-New Japan wrestler Shingo Takagi-vs. Mizumori and New Japan wrestler Hirooki Goto.

Finally, Rian will get her match with Hayashishita on 10/18. Also added to 10/18 is Syuri vs. Matoi Hamabe.

Stardom began their weekend slate today in Chiba.

Today’s event was held at TKP Garden City Chiba in Chiba and can be watched on demand on Stardom World. I hoped to do live results but due to travel delays when I got home and settled in the event was about over.

The paid attendance has not yet been announced but it was a legit advance sellout. (UPDATE: The paid attendance was not announced)

There were numerous last-minute changes to the card due to Suzu Suzuki, Anne Kanaya and Waka Tsukiyama all being pulled off the event. Suzuki-the always vague poor health. Out the next 3 events. Kanaya-unspecified injury in training. Out at least the next 3 events. Tsukiyama-also unspecified training injury. Status uncertain.

Stardom runs the second half of, what is for the US, a same-day doubleheader today in Nagoya. It’s a regular house show on paper but with some build to the monthly PPV in about 3 weeks and worth watching given the recent expansion of Stars as Hanan’s faction practically doubled in size last week after her latest Wonder Of Stardom Championship defense as she prepares for the next defense against her sister Hina.

Today’s event will be held at Chunichi Hall in Nagoya and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World. The event is a legit advance sellout. There will be no commentary. There are 7 matches currently planned but be on alert for potential last-minute changes as Mei Seira was pulled from yesterday’s event and while she is on for today, plans can change. The event will probably be a standard Stardom house show running about 2 1/2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Starlight Kid & Miyu Amasaki vs. Suzu Suzuki & Akira Kurogame
Natsupoi, Yuna Mizumori & Anne Kanaya vs. Maki Itoh, Kikyo Furusawa & Rian
Rina vs. Mei Seira & Rina Yamashita in a 3-way
AZM & Ema Maishima vs. Saya Kamitani & Ruaka
Natsuko Tora, Momo Watanabe & Konami vs. HANAKO, Waka Tsukiyama & Matoi Hamabe and Hazuki, Koguma & Fuwa-chan in a 3-way
Saori Anou & Aya Sakura vs. Bea Priestley & Azusa Inaba
Hanan, Saya Iida, Maika & Utami Hayashishita vs. Syuri, Hina, Lady C & Ranna Yagami

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will begin at 9 PM PT/midnight ET.

Pre-show Update: As of 6 PM PT/9 PM ET Seira is still on for today’s event so we’re proceeding as if no issues.

Pre-show Update 2: You will also be able to watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube. That looks to be the first 2 matches listed above.

8:50 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in 10 minutes.

9 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Chunichi Hall in Nagoya, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance may or may not be announced after the event. It’s a legit advance sellout and for the first event that meant 566, so I’ll guess it’ll be around that and predict 550-575. (UPDATE: Although a legit sellout, the paid attendance was not announced)

The matches will begin momentarily.

The matches begin at 9:04 PM PT/12:04 AM ET.

The promotion waited to announce this weekend’s cards so no changes are needed There’s no word on how long Sohrei may be out but Stardom will announce when she will return so this sounds like at least a couple weeks.
