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

Updates below will begin at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET.

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

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)

(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)

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

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.

Stardom continued the Goddess Of Stardom Tag League tournament today in Kagawa.

Today’s event was held at Takamatsu Symbol Tower Exhibition Hall in Kagawa and will be available on demand on Stardom World at a later date. There was no live broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 384, a full house/near sellout.

Match 1: Syuri & Suzu Suzuki beat Mina Shirakawa & Rian. Syuri beat Rian with a scorpion deathlock.

Match 2: Saya Iida & AZM beat Lady C & Ranna Yagami. Iida pinned Yagami after a lariat. Despite being a team here, afterwards Iida & AZM began to fight each other and continued to do so through the backstage comment area.

Standings-wise, Red Block has 3 teams tied at 4 points but one team hasn’t even had their first official match yet. Syuri/Saki Kashima and Maika/HANAKO are 2-0, Hazuki & Koguma are 2-1. Blue Block has Natsupoi/Anou and Waka Tsukiyama/Rian at 2-0, 4 points, but 3 teams have yet to have their first match. In fact, Momo Watanabe & Thekla won’t even begin their tournament for another week-plus.

The next event is Saturday at Munakata Yurix Event Hall in Fukuoka. Broadcast plans TBA. (UPDATE: Live streaming on Stardom World will begin at midnight PT/3 AM ET. For November, all events from this one through 11/17 will be LIVE. 11/16 is a NEW BLOOD event and will be live FOR FREE on YouTube. 11/17 is HISTORIC X-OVER 2 which is a PPV for about $36 outside Japan on Stardom World or $34.99 on New Japan World, with on demand for all paying subscribers available about a week later. For 11/20-11/24, which has 4 events in that time, no live broadcasts with on demand available hopefully within a day or two, and the final event of the month in 11/29 will be available live)
