Stardom ran a Starlight Kid 10th Anniversary event today, commemorating the event for the promotion’s popular Tiger Mask-like character.

Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and was scheduled to be a live PPV but the broadcast was cancelled due to technical issues (a global network issue related to an Amazon Web Services outage early this morning), however thanks to an “emergency decision” you can watch the entire event FOR FREE on YouTube. Anyone who purchased the PPV will get refunds. (On a side note, New Japan World is also down because of this, and WRESTLE UNIVERSE is also affected. As of 10 AM PT/1 PM ET all services have been restored)

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

Pre-show match: Starlight Kid beat Starlight Sophistication & Shin Starlight Kid in a 3-way.

Match 1: Riho, Ram Kaichow & Rina beat Emi Sakura, Hina & Yuna Mizumori. Riho pinned Mizumori.

Inoue pinned Kid after a Takagi Death Valley bomb, a Kasai Pearl Harbor Splash and a powerbomb. (Correction: The original post listed this as a handicap match with Mina Shimoda involved. Shimoda seconded the losers but was not in the match)

The next event is Sunday at Fujisan Messe in Shizuoka. There will be no live broadcast.

Stardom continued a busy stretch of consecutive events today with a house show in Aichi.

Today’s event was held at Loisir Hotel Toyohashi in Aichi and can be watched on demand on Stardom World. You can also watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.

Stardom runs a mid-major event in Tokyo as the build begins to their year-ending blowout events, first one on November then their year-end mega-event just after Christmas. Today’s event is headlined by a Goddesses Of Stardom championship match, but there is also a CMLL Japan Women’s Championship match before current champion Koguma-who won the title in part due to an injury-and challenger Hazuki head to Mexico for a tour there.

While not mentioned specifically, Suzu Suzuki is off today’s event due to independent other event participation at Shinjuku Face.

Stardom tuns their next NEW BLOOD event today, the sub-label featuring younger and less-experienced wrestlers. There are no title matches today which is rare (but also no HANAKO either, she holds both titles) but still some big matches on tap namely what is the final pre-retirement appearance in Stardom for Tae Honma (she retires on 10/13) as she faces Ranna Yagami. There also will be outside participation from Evolution, a small promotion run primarily by All-Japan veterans Suwama & Shuji Ishikawa.

Today’s event will be held at Belle Salle Shinjuku South Exit in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE FOR FREE on YouTube (it will also be available as an archived replay a few minutes after the event. It will not be available on Stardom World). There will be no commentary. There are 6 matches planned and these events normally run about 2 hours tops so I would anticipate more of the same today, probably not running any longer barring long matches or a long intermission.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Ema Maishima vs. Kikyo Furusawa
Yuria Hime vs. Yuki Mashiro & Fukigen in a 3-way
Waka Tsukiyama & Rian vs. Echika Miyabi & Riara
Hina vs. Kiyoka Kokatsu
Bozilla & Akira Kurogame vs. ZONES & Soi
Tae Honma vs. Ranna Yagami (Main Event)

Stardom begins the road to their next blowout PPV today with a major event in Tokyo. The main event is a double title match betwern Saya Kamitani & AZM for the World Of Stardom and STRONG Women’s Championships, representing perhaps a second coronation for the Phenex Queen as she could become a double champion once again. A second title match features a Future Of Stardom Championship match as HABAKO again challenges Hina for the title while Hina tries to get closer to the successful defense records ahead of her held by sisters Hanan & Rina. Elsewhere, Syuri returns for the first time since leaving earlier this year for an excursion that wound up being to All Elite Wrestling, and Tae Honma makes her last Stardom appearance before retiring next month.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World in Japanese. And thanks to an emergency decision yesterday, you will also be able to watch the entire event FOR FREE on YouTube. There are 9 matches scheduled including a potential pre-show match and given there usually is an intermission the event probably will run longer than usual for Korakuen, I’m anticipating around 3 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA except for first match):
Yuria Hime vs. Kikyo Furusawa (pre-show)
Tae Honma, Saori Anou & Natsupoi vs. Ranna Yagami, Sayaka Kurara & Rian
Hanan, Saya Iida & Bea Priestley vs. Momo Watanabe, Konami & Fukigen
Saki Kashima vs. Waka Tsukiyama & Momo Kohgo in a 3-way (Updated, see below)

Result: World Of Stardom Champion Saya Kamitani beat STRONG Women’s Champion AZM to win the STRONG title and retain the World Of Stardom Title. Kamitani becomes the 6th STRONG Women’s Champion. World Of Stardom V6 for Kamitani. Guess there’s some rioting on the Twitter going on because some poor suckers refuse to Embrace The H.A.T.E. Bow Down Before Your PHENEX QUEEN! As soon as AZM was sent off, Momo Watanabe hit the ring. She has a title shot of her choice in hand for winning the 5STAR GP, and it’s cash-in time. Sounds like she wants the STRONG title. Updates to come hopesully soon.

The next event is Sunday at Sunrec Kitakami in Iwate. There will be no live broadcast.
