    Just watched it and wow that was great stuff. Only thing I didn't like was Best Friends superplexing each other. But it's the typical Best Friends layout match, where it's all out chaos in terms of tempo.

    I saw the blocks floated around on Twitter and Discord. Private Eyeball on Twitter made the suggestion of ASUKA going over Hamada in the finals which would be awesome cause of the student vs teacher aspect.

    Plus with Tofu Joshi Pro running shows in Korakuen (and selling them out), there's a crowd out there for that and Tam could be the face. Btw, I recently saw the Yoko Bito Retirement Tag Match and I really liked it. Not out of this world but good tag wrestling.

    Absolutely with the point with Tam. I thought she would be that the moment she came into the promotion.

    So I finally finished the 1/14 Seadlinnng show, thought it was good. Nakajima and Ohata was the best match of the night. Hamada/Yoshiko was good but it didn't reach the next level of great I thought it would. It's something that you could apply to both with their recent matches even though Hamada/Taya was great

    I haven't seen the whole show but I really liked the Ayako Hamada vs Meiko Satomura match from the 1/6 Sendai Girls show. Again, like Miyu/Reika, it's not a blowaway match but really good and it adds another chapter to the Hamada/Satomura rivalry.

    Toni has definitely become that type of wrestler. In 2016, she was very solid in ring but still was exploring what she was as a wrestler overall. On the Stardom house shows in early 2017, she started to try out more things inside and outside but reached a point midway through the year where she seemed to consolidate everything into a set routine, which makes sense cause she was going to be in the MYC. I remember either Grimmas or Dylan saying she's a female Chris Jericho now and that's she what comes across as.

    I liked the Bito match but I'm starting to be indifferent with Stardom cause of the Oedo Tai saga and the some of the wrestlers they brought in towards the end of the year. This current crop of foreigners are better but there isn't a main program that hooks me. I could care less about another QQ vs OT match but if Toni Storm vs Meiko Satomura happens, then I will be interested. On another note, I recommend people watch Miyu Yamashita vs Reika Saiki from the Tokyo Jyoshi Pro 1/4 Korakuen Hall show. Usually Saiki isn't good but she looks great in this match along with Miyu. It's not a MOTYC but it's match that I would put up against any big match from Stardom in the last year. I've started to become a fan of Yamashita and need to watch more of her from last year.

    This seems relatively benign, to be honest. If we went back and rewatched the match and what he's describing didn't happen, or if he's overstressing the crowd's reaction, that'd be different. If anything, it almost helps Dave, because he's gone from the guy who "knows nothing because he's never been in a ring" to a guy who served in a director's/screenwriter consultant role on a PPV match. On the other hand, his creditably is shot as a journalist. Now people will say that it is absurd to be a journalist in wrestling but he's making a living off of it.

    Am I alone in thinking that this tweet from Dave was worse than anything else he said yesterday? https://twitter.com/prowrestling/status/942500420055789568

    You might be disappointed with that cause Alex isn't the biggest Stardom fan. But she talks about joshi promotions that I think you would like as well.

    I fully recommend the Chihiro Hashimoto/Meiko Satomura rematch. It might be the joshi MOTY. I loved it so much cause Chihiro isn't green like last year. Thought they built a great story with Chihiro solidifying herself as the ace of Sendai. Better to me than how Reigns and Cena told that story. I freaked out when Chihiro kicked out of the Scorpion Rising/DVD combo.

    It was interesting how the ratings stacked up cause I tried to find different perspectives in terms of reviews but places like TJ Hawke and SC sometimes don't even bother with reviewing mainstream stuff like New Japan and WWE. Also, I tried to stick to published reviewers for review sites like 411 Mania and the AV Club but I gave leeway to SC and TJ. For th most part and not a new discovery, Dave overrates New Japan and underrates WWE for the most part where as VOW and 411Mania bring the ratings back down to earth. However, it showed that we do need more diversity in reviewers on bigger websites. No slight to TJ Hawke (who used to right on 411Mania) or the SC crew but it's not as big as the sites I had listed.

    Well, this is something I was looking into when I wrote for Wrestling With Words. I created this just to see how it would play out and talked about it with the staff somewhat. Since the site is dead now, here is a spreadsheet that I started: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xWUEz_IyqAlHNRwzBoy2brIYgAWco28ib5yQylIbkC8 I only did a certain amount for New Japan and WWE at the time.

    Wasn't Akiyama the booker during NOAH's peak and downfall? Akiyama was. Misawa oversaw everything but Akiyama was the primary booker. I have no clue who did what when it comes to the Matsunaga Brothers.

    The Madusa documentary on the Network is pretty good. There is a small amount of AJW footage of her and they credit Fumi Saito and AJW at the end so I'm guessing it was from Fumi or Madusa's own tapes. If you heard her tell her own story before, it's the same as usual but it's cool with the story of her leading up to the HOF that goes along with it.

    They are probably going to a Collection Playlist of Bobby's WWF stuff instead since they done it for people that have passed away this year.

    I'll add the match with Mariko Yoshida from one of the last big Gaea shows. I want to do a deep dive on Amano as well cause I missed out on a lot of her stuff.

    I thought this was a good match with Meiko making Miyu look legitimate. I'm not the biggest watcher of DDT and TJP shows are not something I would watch but I went out of my way and saw this cause I thought Meiko can make a younger promising wrestler into a star like Yamashita better like she's done with multiple others before (Kairi Hojo and Chihiro Hashimoto being the most recent examples). And she did exactly that. I scanned through the rest of the show and this match clearly stood out to me with Miyu and Meiko just bringing the hate. Meiko gave Miyu just enough offense for her to look like they were going blow for blow at certain points of the match but just put her away at the end with the DVD/sleeper combo to add more hate. It's close to 4 star range but it's not a blowaway great match. If they continue the feud (which I hope they will) I think that blowaway great match will come. This makes me want to see more of Yamashita and hope she gets outside bookings in Sendai Girls or Seadlinnng in the future.

    I'm on my phone typing this so I can't put spoiler tags but I'm intrigued by the person who the 5 Star GP tonight cause there are so many implications if she goes on to beat Mayu for the World of Stardom title. Also, Sareee leaving Seadlinnng to go back to Diana is a head scratcher.

    After coming off a so-so match at Rey De Reyes, this match between these two was much better. This was an old fashioned street fight that hid Taya’s faults in the ring and let her shine as a brawler and a character. Early on, she gets busted open and the visual of her blood mixed with her blonde hair was a throwback to something you would see in 80’s southern wrestling. Even the commentators remarked “Ric Flair” as her crimson mask replicated some of the Nature Boy’s iconic bloody photos from Apter mags past. The match almost met the entire checklist of a great street fight. Both wrestlers actually wore street clothes to a street fight. There was blood. One of the competitors attacked the cut after the other wrestler is busted open. Both wrestlers wore white to accentuate the blood even more. They used weapons in meaningful ways. The brawling itself was good. However, this match didn’t have the great heat that it needed for this to be a great street fight instead of a good match. Part of it was that this show was in Tijuana and it was a pro-Taya crowd (even though she came out to Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.” while wearing a Vancouver Canucks jersey). Taya was clearly supposed to be the heel in this but cheered towards the end of the match. Ayako Hamada was a madwoman here as she took some ridiculous bumps through ladders and tables but the most dangerous one was a missed moonsault to the concrete floor where it looked like she messed up her ankle. The finish of the match was pretty good as it kept Hamada strong but put Taya back as the Queen of the division. Vampiro coming out afterwards putting the match over to the crowd as one of the best performances by the women in AAA was a little bit forced but if they want to present the luchadoras in better way in AAA instead of putting them in random trios matches, then it needed to be done. (***1/2)

    I would think they would push Jungle Kyona more and also Konami. So you would have Mayu, Jungle, Hana, Konami with Yoko Bito in the wings once her hand heals.

    I really enjoyed this match. I disagree that it was a breakneck sprint as they worked pretty methodically throughout the match. They just beat the stuffing out of each other. ****
