Stardom 3/27/2022 - Stardom World Climax Day 2

I reviewed the top 4 matches here...and it was easily over a hour and a half.

Kairi vs Starlight Kid

They each try to get the fans to cheer for them early. Kid hits a basement dropkick the ngets it back after taking a headscissors. Kairi tries to dive off the top onto her outside but Kid goes under the ring and gets behind her and attacks. Kid then asai moonsaults her on the outside.

Kairi then sliding d's her in the corner then punches her from the top. Kairi goes up top and gets armdragged down. Kairi then lightning spirals her for 2 and misses a rotation splash in mid-air.

They go up to pand Kid hangs from the top then Kairi double stomps her down. Kairi then uraken's her for 2 and hits an alabama slam. Kairi hits her top rope elbow and wins it.

It was longer and slower than I would have liked. It was okay though and I think it elevated Kid some.

DDM vs. Prominence: Giulia, Maika, Himeka & Thekla va Risa Sera, Suzu Suzuki, Akane Fujita & Mochi Miyagi

DDM rushes their opponents at the bell then Suzu and Giulia go head to head. They go outside and fight into the crowd. Himeka and Mochi shoulder each other down then DDM does corner attacks on their opponents. Thekla beats up on Akane for a while and gets a shoulder block after hitting a spin kick. Thekla gets bridhed over the middle rope then Akane splashes her from the top. akane then hits a big slam on Thekla for 2.

Suzu slaps Giulia a bunch of times then Giulia takes her down and puts her in a rings of saturn variation. They trade forearms then Giulia runs into a superkick. She then gets a release german but no sells it then Suzu no sells her release backdrop. Suzu then rolls and snaps her backwards. Giulia hits a big knee on her then sit out slams her but lifts her head up for 2. Suzu then slow german suplexes her.

Giuulia slaps Suzu around they headbutt battle which Giulia wins. The other 6 wrestlers finally get in here and Giulia gets a cradle shock then a vader bomb for 2. Giulia top rope dropkicks Mochi for 2. Mochi hits a surprise Thesz press on Giulia. Akane and Risa take double fallaway slams then Mochi gets double chokeslammed and takes a fire thunder from Giulia for the win. Giulia and Suzu continue to go at it after.

I appreciated them putting over Giulia vs Suzu but it looked silly when there were 6 other people in the match and nobody wanted to do anything but watch. That part went on too long. The finishing stretch was also really disjointed from the rest of the match.

Wonder of Stardom Title - Saya Kamitani (c) vs Tam Nakano

They monkey flip each other and bridge at the same time with their arms hooked. Tam limbos out of a lariat then basement dropkicks her. Tam then pumping knees her and cutters her over the middle rope, giving her a tough fall to the floor. They run to the corners and follow the other and hit attacks.

Saya then goes up top and dropkicks her in the lower back. Tam goes outside and Saya springboard crossbodies her. Saya then springboard double stomps her back. Saya single leg crabs her and really cranks back and Tam hits the ropes. Saya goes for another springboard but Tam cutters her. Saya ropebreaks on a submission. Tam does like a hanging dragon sleeper to her but she gets out. Tam slaps her from the top then Saya gives her one back. Saya then hurricanrana'd her from the top to the floor.

Saya flurry stomps her on the floor then Tam knees her and lands hard on the non-covered floor. Tam then walks up into the stands and dives on her and a bunch of other people off an entrance way. The ref starts counting which is silly at this point as they have been outside a few minutes and both make it back in of course.

They trade forearms and Saya does a big pump kick that isn't sold. Tam then superkicks her and takes a big spin kick. Saya fisherman's suplexes her then flips over for another. She then fisherman's falcon arrows her then misses a pheonix splash. Tam then tiger drivers her for 2 and hits a big german suplex. They each run at each other with forearms then Tam spin kicks her and release tiger suplexes her. Tam then hits a stiff falcon arrow for 2. Say then rolls her up and tries to suplex her but Tam reverses it then somehow Saya pins her out of it.

I wasn't a fan of this one. It went too long, they didn't sell much at all and the finish stunk.

World of Stardom Title - Syuri (c) vs Mayu Iwatani

Slow start here with some basic stuff including a basement dropkick and back kick from Mayu. Syuri triangles her over the top rope then butterfly suplexes her for 2.

Syuri release germans her then emerald fusions her for 2.  Syuri then stretch mufflers her for the win.

I didn't think this was very good. They traded who was in control a lot and the submissions and finish didn't really make much sense throughout the match.
