Tenese Sarwieh

One word to describe this is physical as Stradom invades SEAdLINNG. These four women went at it throwing heavy bombs every minute. While Momo/Nanae was great and not taking away anything from them but what sucked me into the match was the interaction between Nakajima/Iida. Little Saya Iida giving it her all only to be knocked down every time by Arisa Nakajima with mighty blows coming off as the ultimate bully. I'm ready for more inter-promotional stuff.

Or how about Drew not dropping the title at all and successfully defending it at WM with fans in attendance? I swear this company has to overthink so much because the star-making machine is dead.

Not surprising at all, he's just like any other celebrity being an empty vessel to protect their brand. Dwayne will have a great future in politics if he enters. As for the pilot was alright with great casting. If they fix their pacing issues the show might be a winner.

A great one with Endo working over Akiyama's knee aggressively while the 51-year-old legend battles back effectively with excellent selling. This may have gone over 30 minutes but it did not feel like it. The action kept me captivated from leading to an incredible end with Uncle Jun being victorious and capturing the KO-D Openweight Title, great stuff.

An excellent tv brawl with four guys doing and finding whatever they could to hurt each other but didn't overdo it with the big spots. There was no time wasted just non-stop action. Everyone got a chance to shine highlighting what they did best. Just a damn good main event.

Joe Lanza stated on the VOW Patreon that Cody plans to work through the rotator cuff for the time being. He's hellbent on doing this tag match.

A good mixture of slugging it out, submission batting, then escalating into the standard junior heavy closing sequence. The work was fine between these two and I usually love what these men produce individually but collectively it didn't click with me and it also didn't help that it went over thirty minutes.

A good edition of Dynamite with a fun main event brawling all over the place. Everything they set up has me excited for the weeks to come especially the women's tournament and Sammy leaving the Inner Circle. Hope the situation with Cody is not serious all that build with Shaq and to pay it off would be a huge blow.

Charlotte/Evans is going way too long.

I won't be able to get this out of my mind.

This gave off major territory vibes in how this was laid out. Hardwood was great cutting Jungle Boy off whenever he tried to gain steam with Jungle Boy being the perfect babyface fighting with no quit in him. The finishing sequence with both trying to go for the pin was good leading to Jungle Boy getting the huge submission win. My only slight complaint is maybe Dax’s leg should’ve been worked on some when that was the finish planned, other than that excellent match.

With the names announced minus Gallows I was excited and knew would be a banger but then the news came out about Alex Shelley. It’s a shame that he didn’t make it but to his credit Moose made up for the absence and really was the star of the match. He was motivated and on point with everything he did and I wouldn’t mind if he has a one off with Kenny. As for the others they were their usual great selves and went all out with cool exchanges especially between Omega and Swann setting up for their eventual match, man this was a great trios match.

Hayashishita’s second red belt title defense and it’s against the challenger Maika. Makia had a great strategy of working over the left arm with submissions and Utami trying to offset that using her power. Everything here was fine, it did drag some in the middle and I zoned out in some parts but picked up big in the end. Things escalated into throwing bombs leading to Utami hitting a perfect looking BT Bomb, solid stuff.

Solid enjoyable affair between two good consistent performers in Stardom. It was also cool seeing Tam display some cocky heel mannerisms. SLK was good showing offense and fire in her comeback, like I stated earlier solid.

These two did their best packing as much as they could in five minutes and they succeed. This was all action with Yoneyama being serious against her former pupil dishing out brutal high knees and trying to get the victory quickly as possible. Smooth fast pinning attempts leading to AZM catching Kaori in a roll up. This was a fun one.

Underwhelming match that told a simple story having Ashino work over the leg of Suwama only for him to turn the tables and go for his leg in return. The work was decent but the pace dragged only because of Suwama’s body is breaking down bringing Ashino to his level. They tried to make this great with every false finish and submission tease they possible but it failed to capture what these two did last year. It’s time for a new triple crown champion.

I didn't even pay attention to it, that was reckless as af.

Remember she's possessed by The Fiend, this is a hot ass mess.

Bring on the interpromotional bliss, I wouldn’t mind seeing Jon Silver in the X-Division.

I wouldn’t put it pass them having energy beams during Alexa’s transformation in her cinematic match with Asuka, you know it’s coming.

Orton out here looking like The Destroyer.

Oh how glorious this was, Miyu being her dominant bad ass self dishing out an vicious attack and Maki trying to hold her own and survive. Both women were great but Maki Ito’s performance really shined here. She was all serious and limited the comedy showing her desperately trying to pull off the win against the deadly strikes of Yamashita, this is best I’ve seen of her so far. The rest of the match built well with Ito geeing her hope spots in and being defiant to end flipping off Miyu and receiving a knockout blow then getting a fist bump from Miyu for her courage, damn this was good and I want more of this Maki Ito.

With a WALTER match is simple, if you stick to the formula you’ll always knock it out of the park and this is another perfect example. A-Kid trying his damndest to avoid the heavy bombs from the monstrous ring general by going after his legs. Eventually WALTER gets his stuff in by mauling him with chops and other vicious strikes leading to the hope spots giving you the belief that A-Kid might actually win, but in the end it wasn’t enough. These two conveyed great urgency trying to put the other away and bonus points for keeping it short, it contributed to the realism immensely, damn good stuff.
