squidlad Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 Miu Watanabe and Shoko Nakajima had a terrific match at TJPW's Korakuen show today. I was expecting it to be really good since Shoko is TJPW's best worker in my opinion and Watanabe is trying to cement herself as the new top star. It ended up being a candidate for the best singles match in company history. Their grappling was off the charts good. Apparently they practically live at the dojo so it was like a public demonstration of the mat work they've been doing in private. It was super tight and purposeful with Shoko trying every which way to lock Miu in a hold or score a flash pin. Later she started working Miu's neck and Miu kept up the selling throughout. I have to periodically remind myself that Miu Watanabe wasn't a pro wrestling fan, didn't know what wrestling was and only got in through an idol tryout. She's a natural if I've ever seen one.

El-P Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Stardom's roster and contacts are so ridiculously deep that they don't bat an eye even with the recent departures. That All Star Queedom show last April was really a blast from top to bottom, with interesting developments like Thekla joining Oedo-Tai, and Starlight Kid being booted out and saved by Tam Nakano. Pretty cool to see Aja & Itoh work in Stardom. And that damn Mayu vs Sareee match, holy hell. Stardom sure should try their best keeping Mayu, she's now their biggest star, all respect due to Maika, Tam and Kamitani. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Not watched it yet because I'm still WAY behind, but Willow vs Tam Nakano is exactly the kind of stuff the AEW/Stardom relationship should be about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsem43 Posted May 21 Author Report Share Posted May 21 The main event of the first Marigold show is a fun watch just to see Bozilla become a star almost instantly even if the match itself was an absolute mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Hey, I see Zayda from MLW fame is booked on the card ! Court Bauer is soooo upstaging WWE on the Marigold partnership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
