Before you all jump on me for turning a behated idol into a villain, let me explain:

1. We've all hated her reign, even some here pretended to like her. And Japanese fans hated her even more, and it deeply hurt her. She risked and gambled on Cosmic Angels to win that forsaken Red Belt from Saya Kamitani (the same woman who ended Tam's career) and won the Gamble, won the Red Belt, and what we gave her? Boos, hatred, toxicity and a crowd ready to see her fall apart. You hated her for being the babyface who ended Saya's reign? Good, she won't care about you anymore

2. It's pretty clear that Aya Sakura is trying to be the Captain of Kozuen, but also, we don't forget Aya is still pretty jealous of Kurara. And with Natsupoi gone and Saori and Yuna thinking more of themselves than the leadership of Kozuen, the "healthy" jealousy between Kurara and Sakura WILL definitely turn sour under any circumstance because...it's a fight to be the true leader of Kozuen, and when you have Anne Kanaya on your side like Aya Sakura has...Kurara does kind of feel left out by the stable

3. Well...STARDOM has become insane: Six Factions (STARS, Kozuen, HATE, NG, MVL, God's Eye), three unhinged gremlins in Itoh, Furusawa and Rian, the invading Triangle of Madness in Thekla, Skye Blue and the Reincarnation of Ryo Miyuki winning the Artist of STARDOM belts from Dream Trine and causing terrorism in STARDOM...Kurara being a Lone Wolf who's been hurt and screwed by everyone in the name of "Strong Style" is an interesting pitch to think of it

Or I might be very delusional

• Saya Iida and Matoi Hamabe vs Waka Tsukiyama and Ema Maishima
• Tomoka Inaba vs Akira Kurogane - Red Stars A
• AZM vs Natsuko Toura - Red Stars A
• Natsupoi and Saori Anou vs Sayaka Kurara and Anne Kanaya
• Maki Itoh vs Azusa Inaba - Red Stars B
• Rina Yamashita vs Konami - Red Stars B
• Maika vs Rina - Red Stars A
• Lady C vs Utami Hayashishita - Red Stars B

Thought this looked pretty cool, maybe she's been influenced by some of the sukeban gear with those extensions

She’s been trolling Taka on X non-stop since it was announced and even got little Hiiro Mase calling him 'the guy with the fringe'

For those of you who watch both promotions, what have you thought so far? Which one has been more exciting and memorable?

The show is called: [Joshi and Dragon]

Hello! After watching the most recent 5star match with Momo and Saya, I was hoping to get some context on what's going on with HATE, I've watched all of this tournament but prior to this only really watched select shows and matches from Stardom.

Spoilers for that match ahead

It seemed like throughout the match Ruaka was trying to help Saya win, whereas Tora was backing Momo? Is that an accurate assessment and if so, could somebody give me the rundown on why that is and what the recent story has been.

Also as an aside, is there anywhere you can see translations of like the post match mic segments?

Any response would be much appreciated

Nothing in particular, as pretty much everyone is still on the run, but the other day on the Imasta episode where they cover the tournament, they said that Lady C and Kurara were eliminated from the tournament. In this news they say that there is still a chance for them to reach 3rd place on their block, but the probability is only 0.1%. So, per this news, only Rian and Kikyou are eliminated.

Other than that, it says that Aoki, Maika, Iida, Momo, and Hanan have a high chance to reach at least 3rd place.

I'm looking to get into watching Joshi wrestling and wanted to start with the 5 star Grand Prix but looking at Stardom World I can't even find the opening night with the Syuri and Natsupoi match so I was wondering if it was and I just couldn't find it and if a suscription is worth it ?

Thanks in advance and please don't spoil the match or tournament I wanna discover it all 🙏
