Thoughts: I can't believe we are still having Hotta run over younger talent in 2025. This was old in 2005. This was even older in 2015. And it's still in 2025. Let me just save you the 2 seconds of thought here - this is not going anywhere. Rina is not going to get her win back and within a few months, Hotta will be out of here. It's not a huge deal, but it's just stupid and I promise it will not result in anything positive. Rina should not have lost here.

Hotta talks on the mic after.

Suzu hits 2 more germans for 2. Mei tries to roll out of one but is hit with a 3rd for another 2 count. Suzu top rope sky twiser presses her for the win.

Thoughts: The top rope german should have finished things. The blood in this helped this one as both girls ended up busted open and had blood all over them. I thought they did okay with the concept but I didn't think it quite the epic match you would expect. What was got was good and satisfactory, but I thought it could have been better.

Thoughts: This was one of the better matches I've seen Hanan do. She got nice and stiff with Haz here and hit some hard suplexes on her. It didn't have a ton of structure but it was an aggressive and stiff match with few dull moments and I ended up liking it.

Thoughts: I liked the first half. I thought the selling could have been a little better. I do think they did a good job with it though. They were stiff with each other and Mayu got to do a lot of selling, which is what she is good at it. It's too bad Mayu couldn't hit her double jump blind poisonrana spot, but maybe in some ways it would better for the match that she didn't. I thought it was good overall but it did have potential to be great.

They both talk on the mic after and hug. Saree comes out and challenges Syuri after.

Wonder Of Stardom Title Match - Starlight Kid (c) vs. AZM

They did their high flying early. AZM worked on the arm and Kid worked on the leg. They both gave up on it and of course had to do some canadian destroyers and a top rope spanish fly, which meant nothing. Kid ended up getting the win here with a tiger suplex. I thought it was an indy style match with very selling that had some cool moves but had little logic. I didn't think this was good.

Thoughts: I don't think they made the epic out of this that they tried for. Blood would have helped this and they definitely could have used another big spot or two and some weapons. There wasn't a great story to it either other than them being two rivals in a high stakes match. They did do some no selling here but at least it was at the right times for the most part. I didn't think they had the drama they really needed here either. What we got was a good match but it was far off from a classic.

They both talk on the mic and cry as they yell at the other. They hug and put their heads together. Saya helps Tam to the back and rose petals with smoke appear on the ramp. They sit down together and the lights go out in a cool moment to close the show.

Overall thoughts: Thek/Sayaka was fine. Hotta going over Rina would have been eye-rolling in 2015, yet alone in 2025. Rina ain't getting that win back. I liked the Sendai vs Cosmic Angels trios match. Mei/Suzu was good. Maika/Hashimoto was a good heavyweight match. Hanan had one of her best matches in the tag title match. Syuri/Mayu was good. AZM/Kid was indy crap. The main was good as well just not the epic they tried for.

Stardom had a big card here to fill and they delivered. We had multiple good matches on this one plus a huge stip in the main with career's on the line, Mayu's last Stardom match, hardcore battles and some interpromotional action. It was a really good effort from Stardom here with them putting together some good matches and giving everything lots of time. Time was the one downfall here as this went almost 5.5 hours. The show wasn't perfect, but they did everything you are supposed to here. This lived up to the hype and the name. I'd give this a 9 out of 10. If you are going to see one Stardom card, it's gotta be this one.
