#Stardom has put up this 5 Star Grand Prix match between Hanan, Rina's older sister that AEW's commentators are unaware of, who is the current Wonder Champion and Mei Seira, the then reigning Highspeed Champion, who probably has a machete stashed somewhere 🤼🏻‍♀️🇯🇵 youtu.be/UDDti2uR5YA?...

You've gone too far, Thekla #Stardom

Just a thought but maybe book an earlier flight & don't leave it to the whims of fate as to whether or not you can make it to an appearance halfway around the frickin' world.

So I've been working on a 5* guide, but I am behind - decent chance I won't finish before it kicks off, sadly (feature creep is real!) I am still going to get it done though, I know there's a fair few new or curious fans around & hopefully it'll be of some use. It should have some unique stuff in

Will leave this up until Saturday, probably. If anyone needs help updating to include Julia (the tables are slightly finicky, but if you can read formulas you'll figure it out) let me know

Apparently thinking Stardom not yet being able to work out multi-language streaming options is a bit amateurish on their part is a controversial opinion. Ok? Regardless of your preferences surely giving the consumer the choice is a *good* thing?

Sure just sit back for 25 minutes against the best player in history, that can't possibly go wrong. Ridiculously negative.

Welp, I've thought Julia could do with an excursion for a while & now she's got it - remains to be seen how she fares but hopefully she can capitalise on the opportunity in the 5* She's in a reasonably accommodating block so she can probably get a couple wins - Anna Jay did beat Saori after all

As much as I rag on Shota on here its not like I want him to get injured or anything. You have to think, even with Gedo's 'eccentricities' that he was likely going to have a strong G1, so this likely messes up multiple plans. Poor guy can't catch a break.

Alright well there is a decent chance this will go wrong but I made a 5 * GP tracker in Sheets It's a little different from some others you may have seen as instead of grids for each block it pulls the results into tables that auto-sort, so you'll always see the live rankings, basically #Stardom

The 5* GP press conference is on at the moment. Akira will be in Red Block A, Kikyo will be in Blue Block B. Importantly however Bea has had to withdraw after her broken nose, her replacement is TBD - most likely one of the other rookies as it would be tough to get someone on short notice #Stardom

Kane definitely got hit with the Trump curse, my goodness.

Reminder that this here thing is tomorrow on Wrestle Universe and will likely be Quite Good #Senjo

Saw The Furious last week - if you've seen/enjoyed The Raid or similar films I think you'd probably enjoy this one. It has a couple of the same actors from Raid but its not the same director, crew etc so no Iko Uwais, and less use of silat. The fights feel a bit 'floaty' in comparison, have to say

STARDOM World's YouTube channel is streaming 56 matches from last year's 5Star GP tournament tomorrow FREE (July 11th). Full details: wwr-stardom.com/news/2026071... #STARDOM #Wrestlesky 🤼‍♀️

Anyone looking for great wrestling, here's AZM vs Momo Watanabe in the Finals of last year's 5 Star Grand Prix. Two of the best ready to get themselves to the next level. Even has English Commentary. 🤼🏻‍♀️🇯🇵 youtu.be/RsX6fhl2jio?...

Some interesting choices in here, especially for the byes 🤔

Which one of you jinxed it

Alright so high (low) speed will be on vacation for a couple weeks while I work on something else. Should hopefully be worth it...

ILY Raul please play like that against West Brom next season

For anyone who wants some good wrestling, here's Momo Watanabe vs Saori Anou, the semifinal match from last year's 5 Star Grand Prix. Especially if you want to have some dude talking English all over 🤼🏻‍♀️🇯🇵 youtu.be/B4nBdAerELs?...

I just want a shelf or 10 with the stuff I own on it, is that too much to ask? Apparently yes, says Sony Have never really been much of a PC gamer as I've never had time for the endless upgrades & settings faff just to get things to run in an acceptable state. Maybe I'll just play ODST forever

STARDOM have launched two new YouTube Channels: STARDOM GLOBAL (w/ English commentary): www.youtube.com/@STARDOMGlobal STARDOM WORLD (w/ Japanese commentary) www.youtube.com/@STARDOM_WORLD To celebrate they are streaming matches from last year's 5STAR GP! #STARDOM 🤼‍♀️ #Wrestlesky

#STARDOM now has 2 new YT sub-channels both posting past 5STAR GP bouts to kickoff: - STARDOM GLOBAL [ENGLISH] (1 match every MON & THU 8PM JST) - STARDOM WORLD [JA] (1 match every SUN 7PM EDT) AZM vs Rina from last year's finals is great btw and @velvetvoicews.bsky.social did comms 🤼

I stayed awake to watch the end of Germany-Paraguay so it feels like I too should be entitled to a day off

They say if you're approached by a bear you should do your best to move as little as possible. Don't think that'll be a problem this week...low speed! #Stardom

Leeds player ruins everything, quelle surprise

Its good that Robocop's keeping active

Okada get back to the real business at hand please #Stardom

Not to overstate but if you did enjoy Starlight Kid tonight from what I saw that was her going about 50-60% When she really cranks it & is up against similar high-calibre workers she can produce really special stuff Check 'em out 👇 bsky.app/profile/lase...

Fuck it guys, watch SLK vs Natsupoi (another rival of Thekla who beat her ass AND Clark Connor's ass one time)

I dunno why I expected Rick Knox to have done the bare minimum research for reffing a guest in his place of work but good to see some things do not change

Won't be able to watch until tomorrow, but pre-emptively - don't take no shit Okada, punch her in the throat. You're in California, its (probably) fine.

Same fashion as the Hazuki pack / playlist, I also made one for Starlight Kid with a bunch of match recommendations. One of the leading figures in the wonder ring. Sky Tiger Dancing In The Starry Night (夜空に踊るスカイタイガー) https://archive.org/details/slk-sky-tiger-pack #STARDOM 🤼 #ForbiddenDoor #AEW

I think its about time we made a change around here. No more of this 'high speed' nonsense. Its time to slow things down, take our time, and put in minimal effort. Low speed! #Stardom

I dunno if you can run Mercedes-Thekla as things are now. I mean you *could* but not sure it'd be super effective. Maya-Thekla I guess you could but equally it doesn't feel like an All In-level event. SLK wins. SLK drops to Hazuki (they still have beef after Hazuki unmasked her) Mercedes-Hazuki 3?

Seems like Hikari picked up right where she left off

I forgot to note where I nabbed this from, maybe Tokyo Sports? But its buried in that hellhole somewhere No words needed, really

Reading some...curious reactions to the Stardom PPV. Not going to argue with anyone or anything like that but woo, I do fundamentally disagree with some people's thoughts & ideas. But hey, that's a good thing right? Its all subjective.

No real surprises in the 5* lineup - no guests just showcases the crazy depth on the roster right now. Must admit I wasn't necessarily expecting Aoki & Yamashita but glad they're there as they'll show up every night. No Poi or Anou is a shame but not necessarily surprising, they're winding down.

Rian you da real MVP

So yes, hey, as you may or may not be aware there's a Stardom PPV (The Conversion) tomorrow Now there's title matches & all sorts happening up & down the card, should be a fun one, but this - *this* is where the juice is. This is, if you'll pardon the overused expression - the 'cinema' #Stardom

Totally forgot to post this prior to Wednesday - from just before the prior Mercedes - Hazuki match (If you don't have a translator handy it roughly equates to 'Kick her in the face & the nerves will disappear')

I'm not sure I can imagine having a particular affinity for much print media nowadays, particularly as I get older & they just consolidate & spew ridiculous nonsense at the behest of their often sociopathic owners. However, there is an exception. For, after all - We ❤️ Tokyo Sports #Stardom

I need to watch the Korakuen show again as I might be hallucinating, but a part of my brain has noticed little things that Kikyo has been doing recently that might - and I stress *might* - be planting seeds for some kind of Mariah & Toni-esque situation Whatever Happened to Maki Itoh, you might say

Knicks win *and* Ferrari don't screw up a strategy call? In the same weekend?? Strange times

Solid Stardom show, couple very enjoyable title matches. Plus the whole QQ reunion rumbles on, they're gonna squeeze this one for a while (and rightly so, there's a lot of melodrama to mine) Just watching Teej now - first Hima/Shino & now Suzume, Wakana seems to be annoying a lot of people 😅

I guess coughing baby has to beat hydrogen bomb one of these days

I keep seeing STP on my feed and thinking somehow Scott Weiland returned
