The final day of STARDOM’s 5 Star Grand Prix is here and MY HEART IS BREAKING. This tournament has been my introduction into STARDOM and regularly following any form of joshi; I’ve always checked out matches here and there online, but I’ve never dedicated myself to actually strictly following a promotion. At the end of Read more…

Mayu Cinches First Place: STARDOM 5 Star Grand Prix 2018 Day Eight
Heading into the final show before the finals, Mayu Iwatani and Hazuki were slated to face off to see who would grab first place in Blue Stars Block. With the two wrestlers involved, I don’t think it’s too surprising to let you know that I think I just watched several attempted murders in Osaka. Hazuki Read more…
Kagetsu Fights For Food: STARDOM 5 Star Grand Prix 2018 Day Seven
Day Seven of the STARDOM 5 Star Grand Prix is upon us with just a couple of actual tournament matches. This shorter show has just five matches on the card with two trios matches swallowing up the majority of the 5*GP pool. In the first of two tournament matches, Rachael Ellering continued to befuddle and Read more…
Time Waits For No One: STARDOM 5 Star Grand Prix 2018 Day Six
Day Six may be one of the best, if not just one of the most eventful, nights of the entire 5 Star Grand Prix. Not only did we get two incredible time-limit draw matches, but we also got some unfortunate dissension within Oedo Tai and a Match of the Century candidate with Natsu Sumire and Read more…
JUNGLE BOOOOMMMBBB!!!: STARDOM 5 Star Grand Prix 2018 Day Five
I would be remiss if I didn’t talk about the namesake move of this site making an appearance on Day Five. In the main event, which saw Kagetsu and Jungle Kyona go to a time-limit draw thus earning a single point apiece, Kyona lifted Kagetsu up for a powerbomb. Kagetsu fought against it which left Read more…

If you’re looking for a quick tour around the block in Osaka to go with your wrestling, Natsu Sumire has got you covered.

Don’t Get Broken by Jungle Kyona: STARDOM 5 Star Grand Prix 2018 Day Three Afternoon Show
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…
