Jungle Kyona and Tam Nakano had the match of the show on Day Three’s afternoon show. They came firing hot out of the gates from the bell and didn’t stop tearing into each other until it was all over. Tam wrestled with her neck and back taped up, still feeling the damage from her first Read more…

Konami’s Triangle Lancer Meets its Match: STARDOM 5 Star Grand Prix 2018 Day Two
Look – I’m probably going to say this a bunch of times since 90% of this roster is completely new to me, but Konami is earning a place in my heart very quickly as a favorite amongst the wrestlers in STARDOM’s 5 Star Grand Prix. Konami put in an awesome effort against Kagetsu on Day Read more…
Utami Hayashishita is the Real Damn Deal: STARDOM 5 Star Grand Prix 2018 Day One
Utami Hayashishita is two matches into her STARDOM career (sidenote: I’m only watching and writing as all of the matches go up for each day of the 5*GP and hoping to avoid spoilers on social media – so if this seems out of date, that’s why!) and is quickly becoming a personal favorite. Maybe it’s because Read more…
Preview: STARDOM 5 Star Grand Prix 2018
I’ll come right out and say it – I am brand new to STARDOM. STARDOM has been around since 2010 with their streaming service, STARDOM World, having been launched in early 2016. It’s always been something that has been on my radar but not something that I’ve devoted time to actually dive into. That’s all Read more…

NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Sixteen
It’s the sweet sixteen baaayyyy beeeee! Or at least G1 Climax 28 day sixteen. We’re coming off of a two-day break and back with B Block action where things are really coming down to the wire. Naito/SANADA and Omega/YTR should be fun matches with Ibushi also in contention to take the block. At this point Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Fifteen
I don’t know if I’m ready to watch another set of G1 matches after what Ishii/Omega and Ibushi/Naito delivered yesterday. This tournament has, not surprisingly, delivered a handful of match of the year candidates and it shows no signs of slowing. I mean, except for Fale/YOSHI today which I don’t expect to live up to Read more…
