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as all of the matches go up for each day of the 5*GP and hoping to avoid spoilers on social media – so if this seems out of date, that’s why!)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 Nineteen – G1 Finals
It’s been a long, hard road but we’ve finally reached the end. G1 Climax 28 day nineteen is upon us – the finals of the entire tournament where we’ll see the winner of A Block, Hiroshi Tanahashi, collide with the winner of B Block, Kota Ibushi. The winner receives a shot at the IWGP Heavyweight Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Eighteen
The second-to-last day is here! Today we find out who will advance to the G1 finals from B Block and there are so many things that are going to blow my mind and break my heart today. Omega/Ibushi, Naito/ZSJ, and Ishii/SANADA?! I was so excited to see this good stuff that I slept past my Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Seventeen
We are upon the final three days as we kick the weekend off with G1 Climax 28 day seventeen! Today and tomorrow we’ll see the finals of the tournament come to light with everything still every much up in the air and a number of interesting possibilities for the finals in Budokan. The set is 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…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Fourteen
Things are starting to get real, real interesting now and I don’t know if my heart can take it. It’s a race to the top with Omega, Naito, and Ibushi leading the block but anything is possible! Tonight we see yet another man swing for the fences as he tries to end Kenny Omega’s G1 Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Thirteen
Does the “A” in “A Block” stand for “Another”? I love a handful of wrestlers in the block but it definitely does not shine in comparison to its counterpart. I appreciate the fact that the intro video and the entrances are just long enough for me to finish a bowl of cereal. Always thinking of Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Twelve
Best Block is back with G1 Climax 28 day twelve! This night is loaded with what should be some insane match-ups in tournament action – SANADA/Juice should be fun and good if not great, Naito/YTR should be the same, and Omega/ZSJ or Ibushi/Goto are the clear front-runners for match of the night. Can anything top Read more…
