Stardom has their second event of the weekend coming up today in Osaka, this one with 6 matches and also a title match. The title match is for the Goddesses Of Stardom Championship as Suzu Suzuki & Mei Seira defend against Risa Sera & Kurumi Hiragi from the Prominence promotion, both challengers clearly going after former partner Suzuki. Elsewhere, this is the last event before their last major event so there could be some final build for next weekend.

Today’s event will be held at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World for paid subscribers (currently around $6.25/month) and also as a PPV via Pia Stream for 2200 Japanese yen (around $15 US). Both streams will be the same. You can also watch the first match FOR FREE on YouTube. There will be no commentary for all broadcasts. Yesterday’s event went 2 hours with 5 matches so with a 6th match and title matches normally having a 30 minute time limit I anticipate this event will go closer to 2 1/4 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Saya Kamitani, AZM, Lady C & Miyu Amasaki vs. Tam Nakano, Yuna Mizumori, Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara
Saki Kashima vs. Saya Iida & Rian in a 3-way
Syuri, Ami Sohrei & Ranna Yagami vs. Hazuki, Koguma & Momo Kohgo
Mina Shirakawa, Waka Tsukiyama, Gina & HANAKO vs. Natsuko Tora, Starlight Kid, Ruaka & Fukigen
Maika, Saori Anou & Mayu Iwatani vs. Momo Watanabe, Hanan & Natsupoi
Goddesses Of Stardom Champions Suzu Suzuki & Mei Seira vs. Risa Sera & Kurumi Hiragi for the titles

Updates below will begin at 9 PM PT/midnight ET. The live stream has begun and is currently in pre-show mode.

8:55 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. The venue can normally hold at least 1300 but has been set up for smaller since the pandemic, but whatever the setup is looks close to full. As it’s what they seem to be doing since full crowds were allowed all over the country again I’m guessing it’ll be much smaller than that, probably around 550. (Actually as we see the second angle hard camera, much higher up than yesterday, I see front rows of empty seats so I’m revising my estimate to 500) (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 389)

The matches should begin shortly. The match card rundown starts the show, except for the 3-way and main event all matches today are 20 minute time limit. 15 minutes for the 3-way and 30 minutes for the title match. Order is as listed above.

Match 1: Saya Kamitani, AZM, Lady C & Miyu Amasaki vs. Tam Nakano, Yuna Mizumori, Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara. 20 minute time limit
Result: Saya Kamitani, AZM, Lady C & Miyu Amasaki beat Tam Nakano, Yuna Mizumori, Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara. AZM pinned Kurara.

The YouTube broadcast ends here.

Match 2: Saki Kashima vs. Saya Iida & Rian in a 3-way. 15 minute time limit
Result: Saya Iida beat Saki Kashima & Rian in a 3-way by pinning Kashima. Afterwards, Iida with microphone. High Speed Championship shot called. Kashima asked the down Rian about it but instead Saya Kamitani came out. Then they were joined by Fukigen. That gave Kashima an idea…4-way! We’ll see what happens, might be a late add to the PPV next weekend.

Match 3: Syuri, Ami Sohrei & Ranna Yagami vs. Hazuki, Koguma & Momo Kohgo. 20 minute time limit
Result: Hazuki, Koguma & Momo Kohgo beat Syuri, Ami Sohrei & Ranna Yagami. Hazuki pinned Yagami after a diving senton.

Match 4: Mina Shirakawa, Waka Tsukiyama, Gina & HANAKO vs. Natsuko Tora, Starlight Kid, Ruaka & Fukigen. 20 minute time limit
Result: Natsuko Tora, Starlight Kid, Ruaka & Fukigen beat Mina Shirakawa, Waka Tsukiyama, Gina & HANAKO. Ruaka pinned HANAKO after a diving body press onto Ruaka’s suitcase on top of HANAKO.

Quick break for ring cleaning.

Match 5: Maika, Saori Anou & Mayu Iwatani vs. Momo Watanabe, Hanan & Natsupoi. 20 minute time limit
Result: Time Limit Draw

Main Event: Goddesses Of Stardom Champions Suzu Suzuki & Mei Seira vs. Risa Sera & Kurumi Hiragi for the titles. 30 minute time limit
Result: Goddesses Of Stardom Champions Suzu Suzuki & Mei Seira beat Risa Sera & Kurumi Hiragi to retain the titles. Suzuki pinned Hiragi with a German suplex hold. V1 for the champs. Next up…well, no fewer than 3 teams came out: Koguma & Hazuki, AZM & Seira and Ruaka & Kid. 4-way?

The next event is STARDOM GRAND QUEENDOM 2024 Saturday at Yokohama Buntai in Yokohama. Live streaming as a PPV via Pia Stream will begin Friday at 11 PM PT/2 AM ET. It will be available on demand on Stardom after the PPV viewing window ends, which should be sometime next week.

UPDATE: The full Saturday card was announced soon after the event:
Pre-show:
Momo Kohgo vs. Ranna Yagami
Yuna Mizumori & Aya Sakura vs. Lady C & Rian

Fall 2 is a Hardcore Falls Count Anywhere match, 30 minute time limit. Fall 3 if needed is a Last Woman Standing Match, no time limit, win only by KO (10 count after down)
The pre-show matches are scheduled to begin at 10:15 PM PT/1:15 AM ET, 45 minutes before the PPV.

As Stardom continues to move on from the mass talent exodus (mostly to Rossy Ogawa’s newly-announced Marigold promotion), the promotion also continues to further test live streaming capability with this weekend’s doubleheader. Today they’re in Kobe for a house show with 5 scheduled matches ahead of tomorrow’s event, which has a title match scheduled. The likely main event is a 10-woman tag match with rules rarely seen in women’s wrestling these days-3 Falls with a 1 Hour time limit as HLA…I mean, E Nexus V (Mina Shirakawa sure bought the HLA on her recent US tour during The Collective) vs. the Oedo Corps faction.

Today’s event will be held at Kobe Sambo Hall in Kobe and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World. There will be no commentary. Most non-title matches in the promotion have 15-20 minute time limits so even with the potential hour-long main event I anticipate this event’s total running time being around 2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Suzu Suzuki & Mei Seira vs. Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara
Natsupoi vs. Ami Sohrei, Lady C & Rian in a 4-way
Syuri, Saki Kashima & Ranna Yagami vs. Hazuki, Saya Iida & Momo Kohgo and Saya Kamitani, AZM & Miyu Amasaki in a 3-way
Mayu Iwatani, Hanan & Koguma vs. Saori Anou, Tam Nakano & Yuna Mizumori
Maika, Mina Shirakawa, Gina, HANAKO & Waka Tsukiyama vs. Natsuko Tora, Momo Watanabe, Starlight Kid, Ruaka & Fukigen in a 3 Falls match

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

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

8:30 PM PT UPDATE: You can also watch the first match live & on demand FOR FREE on YouTube. It looks like the first match will be Suzuki/Seira vs. Sakura/Kurara.

8:40 PM PT UPDATE: The Stardom World live stream is up and running in pre-show mode. The live broadcast should begin in about 20 minutes.

9 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Kobe Sambo Hall in Kobe, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Usually the venue can be set up for between 600-800 for wrestling, and it looks like a near-sellout. Depends on the setup but I’m guessing it’ll be in the 500-550 range. At least a full house, could wind up being a legit sellout. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 305. Not even close to either)

Match card rundown, it’s going to be the order listed above.

Match 1: Suzu Suzuki & Mei Seira vs. Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara. 15 minute time limit
Result: Suzu Suzuki & Mei Seira beat Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara. Seira beat Kurara with an inverted face lock.

The YouTube broadcast ends here.

Match 2: Natsupoi vs. Ami Sohrei, Lady C & Rian in a 4-way. 15 minute time limit
Result: Natsupoi beat Ami Sohrei, Lady C & Rian in a 4-way by pinning Rian.

Match 3: Syuri, Saki Kashima & Ranna Yagami vs. Hazuki, Saya Iida & Momo Kohgo and Saya Kamitani, AZM & Miyu Amasaki in a 3-way. 20 minute time limit. During intros there was a funny spot when, during Iida’s intro, she took part of her outerwear off and tossed it up, and it got caught on pipes above the ring! Thankfully one of the other wrestlers was able to jump high enough to pull it down.
Result: Saya Kamitani, AZM & Miyu Amasaki beat Syuri, Saki Kashima & Ranna Yagami and Hazuki, Saya Iida & Momo Kohgo in a 3-way when Kamitani pinned Kashima. Based on post-match happenings, Kamitani could now be angling for a shot at the High Speed Championship held by Kashima.

Match 4: Mayu Iwatani, Hanan & Koguma vs. Saori Anou, Tam Nakano & Yuna Mizumori. 20 minute time limit
Result: Mayu Iwatani, Hanan & Koguma beat Saori Anou, Tam Nakano & Yuna Mizumori. Hanan pinned Mizumori with a German suplex hold.

Intermission. Main Event coming up shortly.

Main Event: Maika, Mina Shirakawa, Gina, HANAKO & Waka Tsukiyama vs. Natsuko Tora, Momo Watanabe, Starlight Kid, Ruaka & Fukigen in a 3 Falls match. 1 Hour time limit
Fall 1: Watanabe pinned Tsukiyama.
Fall 2: Tora DQ’d. Weapon use.
Fall 3: Maika pinned Fukigen.
Result: E Nexus V wins 2-1. In total, the match went just under 20 minutes.

Overall the streaming experience was good as Stardom continues ramping up live broadcasts on Stardom World, it was high quality (1080p HD) and there were only a couple times when it cut out (once during the main event, perhaps due to activity all over the venue) but for less than a second each time. There are more live streams to come which is a good sign. For my first time watching live on the service, a solid 9/10. Interesting to note they used 2 hard cameras-an additional one looking at one corner of the ring and the other in the traditional position-in addition to ringside cameras. Rather unique to me.

The next event is tomorrow at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka. Live streaming on Stardom World (also as a PPV via Pia Stream for around $15 US) will begin at 9 PM PT/midnight ET. Live results are tentatively scheduled.

In a post on their official English Twitter account, Stardom just announced their upcoming events on 4/20 & 4/21 will be streamed LIVE on Stardom World for subscribers. Because of this, I am pleased to announce plans to do LIVE results for both events. 4/21 will have a Goddesses Of Stardom Championship match as the likely main event.

Saturday’s event will be at Kobe Sambo Hall in Kobe. Sunday’s event is at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka. The live streams will begin Friday & Saturday, respectively, at 9 PM PT/midnight ET.

(4/27 broadcast plans for their major event at Yokohama Buntai in Yokohama are pending, but I have a feeling that will be a PPV with Stardom World on demand a few days later once the PPV window ends)

Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand as a PPV via Pia Stream for 2200 Japanese Yen (around $16) through this weekend. It should be available on demand on Stardom World Monday or Tuesday (the PPV window ends Monday morning).

The next event is tomorrow at Kira Messe Numazu in Shizuoka. It will be available on demand on Stardom World at a later date.

Unrelated side note: The 4/4 US PPV is now available on demand on Stardom World for subscribers. It has Japanese commentary and is broken down into individual match videos, but some wrestler entrance themes (like Ram Kaichow’s) are muted. You can still buy it on Triller/FITE for $24.99, which has English commentary with Veda Scott and (when/if you can clearly hear him, which isn’t until late in the event) Tom Lawlor and you get unlimited replays indefinitely (probably forever).

Stardom is in the USA today as part of “The Collective”, a series of over a dozen independent events taking place over WrestleMania weekend beginning today through Sunday, for “Stardom American Dream 2024 in the Keystone State”, a special event held before some participation in other independent events. It’s a lean card on paper thanks in part to the recent talent exodus with just 5 matches, but 2 are title matches. First up is a 3-way for the High Speed Championship with Mei Seira defending the title against Ram Kaichow and Saki Kashima, while in the likely main event, World Of Stardom Champion Maika defends the title against Meghan Bayne, making her first Stardom appearance since returning from a long excursion to the promotion in Japan last year. There’s plenty of notable outsider participation as well including All Elite Wrestling star Willow Nightingale, TNA Wrestling star Xia Brookside and NEW STRONG Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer from the CMLL promotion in Mexico among others. Former foreign wrestler Mariah May, who left Stardom last last year for AEW, also makes a return appearance.

Today’s event will be held at 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA and can be watched LIVE on TrillerTV/FITE worldwide in English as a PPV for $24.99. You get the live broadcast and unlimited on demand replays with purchase. There is no Pia Stream PPV option. The event may be available on demand on Stardom World at a later date. With only 5 matches and the 2 title matches this is going to be a short event unless anything is added last-minute, and seems overpriced for an event that probably won’t go more than 2 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Stephanie Vaquer, Momo Watanabe & Starlight Kid vs. AZM, Saya Kamitani & Camron Branae
Syuri & Konami vs. Willow Nightingale & SAKI
Mayu Iwatani, Tam Nakano & Momo Kohgo vs. Mina Shirakawa, Mariah May & Xia Brookside
High Speed Champion Mei Seira vs. Ram Kaichow & Saki Kashima in a 3-way for the title
World Of Stardom Champion Maika vs. Meghan Bayne for the title

Updates below will begin at Noon PT/3 PM ET.

Mandatory FBI Warning, then to the intro screen right on time and right to the opening video as…
We are LIVE from 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA. Your hosts are Veda Scott & Tom Lawlor. It sounds like we have the usual New Japan US ring announcer today. There are some minor audio issues at the start, namely I can’t seem to hear Lawlor on commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced sometime after the event. It’s a legit advance sellout so it depends on the setup, but max capacity for the venue would mean 1300, (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 976, so that means the setup reduced the capacity by about 25%).

Match 1: High Speed Champion Mei Seira vs. Ram Kaichow & Saki Kashima in a 3-way for the title. Usually these matches have a 15 minute time limit but we’ll see here.
Result: Saki Kashima beat High Speed Champion Mei Seira & Ram Kaichow in a 3-way by pinning Seira to win the title. Kashima becomes the 25th High Speed Champion. Mostly a comedy match. Kaichow thought she won after using a powder attack following a ref bump but it allows Kahsima to roll up Seira for 3 instead. Rather short match although that’s slightly the point of these matches.

Match 2: Stephanie Vaquer, Momo Watanabe & Starlight Kid vs. AZM, Saya Kamitani & Camron Branae
Result: Stephanie Vaquer, Momo Watanabe & Starlight Kid beat AZM, Saya Kamitani & Camron Branae. Vaquer pinned Branae after Death Valley Driver. Afterwards, Vaquer headbutted Watanabe as things got heated between them. They face off on 4/12 in New Japan for the STRONG Women’s Championship.

Match 3: Syuri & Konami vs. Willow Nightingale (All Elite Wrestling) & SAKI
Result: Willow Nightingale & SAKI beat Syuri & Konami. Nightingale pinned Konami after Babe With The Powerbomb.

Match 4: Mayu Iwatani, Tam Nakano & Momo Kohgo vs. Mina Shirakawa, Mariah May (All Elite Wrestling) & Xia Brookside (TNA Wrestling). The latter team out first, Shirakawa with microphone to introduce her teammates instead of the regular announcer. May did the honors for Shirakawa.
Result: Mayu Iwatani, Tam Nakano & Momo Kohgo beat Mina Shirakawa, Mariah May & Xia Brookside. Nakano pinned Brookside with Twilight Dream. This was definitely the fanservice match for all the male fans. Post-match, as Club Venus posed in the ring for fans…Toni Storm!?! The AEW Women’s Champion came out, minus black & white old-school filter and Luther. Storm rose up the ranks in Stardom before going to WWE. Storm with microphone. Hard to hear what she was saying on the stream though (had to turn the volume up to deafening). She said she was here to put Stardom over and thank them for the opportunities the promotion gave her. She then put May over and gave her a flower bouquet as the crowd chanted for Shirakawa. This caused Storm to go a little more in-character as she reminded them The Forbidden Door is always open. Shirakawa accepted as she & Storm stared down, Storm shoving the AEW Women’s Championship belt in Shirakawa’s face as May broke it up.
That was a really fun surprise, moreso with Storm in her AEW persona (annoying and I’m not a fan of it but she continues to make it work very well). Let’s see if anything comes out of it, perhaps sometime in June…

Main Event: World Of Stardom Champion Maika vs. Meghan Bayne for the title. Usually these matches have a 30 minute time limit (In-match note: They seemed to have FINALLY fixed Lawlor’s microphone/headset, now I can clearly hear him for the first time all event)
Result: World Of Stardom Champion Maika beat Meghan Bayne to retain the title. V3 for Maika.
Bayne had it won at one point but it was a 2.99999999999. Very physical match. The former partners hugged it out afterwards. As it seemed to start winding down, Momo Watanabe came out. With microphone. Challenge issued in Japanese. As Watanabe went to leave, she suddenly came back with a baseball bat shot but Bayne stepped in front of Maika and Watanabe hit the brakes, then walked off. Maika with microphone. Challenge accepted. That match apparently will happen on 4/27 in Yokohama. Maika then spoke in English to lead a “We Are Stardom” chant to send the crowd home happy.

My complaints about this event are all on the technical/production side as for 98% of the event I couldn’t hear Lawlor on commentary, and often the venue/production audio drowned out commentary and the microphone in ring was hard to hear. Could barely hear the announcer too. The matches were solid but with only 5 matches and the event running only about 100 minutes, it did not justify the $25 price tag. $15 would have been better, maybe $20 tops, but $25 was too much for too little. Hopefully it hits Stardom World soon, wait until it does to watch. I did enjoy the event but I felt I paid too much and got too little. The matches were all good to great though, all are worth watching.

End Show.

Some of them will be sticking around for other events as part of The Collective as well as meet-and-greets at WrestleCon before returning to Japan next week.

The next event is 4/12 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, which will be the final Stardom event for Giulia & Utami Hayashishita. Broadcast plans TBA but I would not be surprised if they make it a PPV via Pia Stream.

Stardom wrapped up March today with the farewell event for most of the wrestlers that are now part of the mass exodus from the promotion. Most are probably headed to what will be Rossy Ogawa’s new pending promotion but some could also be headed to WWE or elsewhere.

Today’s event was held at Yamagata Big Wing in Yamagata and can be watched on demand on PPV via Pia Stream. It should be available on demand on Stardom World Thursday.

The announced paid attendance was 471, a full house/near sellout.

Match 2: Saya Iida & Hanan beat Rian & Maika. Hanan pinned Rian after Dandelion.

Match 3: Yuna Mizumori & Natsupoi beat Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara. Natsupoi pinned Sayaka after Fairy Real Gift.

MIRAI beat Ranna Yagami.

Saki Kashima beat MIRAI in 15 seconds. Which led to…
Saki Kashima beat MIRAI again.
Saya Iida beat MIRAI.
MIRAI vs. Syuri went to a 5 minute time limit draw.
MIRAI went 1-2-2 not counting the quick Kashima win.

Match 7: Giulia vs. Suzu Suzuki went to a 15 minute time limit draw. Which led to…
Extra Time: Giulia vs. Suzu Suzuki went to a 5 minute time limit draw.

Main Event: Momo Watanabe, Starlight Kid, Rina, Ruaka & Natsuko Tora beat Miyu Amasaki, Lady C, AZM, Saya Kamitani & Utami Hayashishita. Watanabe pinned Hayashishita after Peach Sunrise.

All but a couple of the wrestlers moving on are now done with Stardom, but Giulia and Hayashishita have 2 dates left and will finish up on 4/12.

The next event is Stardom American Dream In The Keystone State 2024 Thursday at 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA. The event will be a live PPV available only on TrillerTV (fka FITE) worldwide in English only for $24.99. It will not be available on Pia Stream. It is a legit advance sellout. The live broadcast will begin at Noon PT/3 PM ET. I plan to purchase the PPV and do live results but will not be able to confirm my plans until the night before (I usually telework for my job on Thursdays so I need to wait until Wednesday to make sure there are not any last-minute changes).

Stardom ran the first half of their last March doubleheader today, the penultimate event before the big talent exodus begins.

Today’s event was held at Sendai Pit in Sendai and can be watched on demand as a PPV via Pia Stream. It should be available on demand on Stardom World Wednesday.

The announced paid attendance was 493, a legit sellout.
