Thoughts: It was an acceptable opener here. Matoi had a decent showing and KK stuck to her kicks as usual. It was nothing great but it was unoffensive and did what it was supposed to do.

HANAKO, Utami Hayashishita & Waka Tsukiyama vs. HATE (Fukigen Death, Konami & Ruaka) vs. Mi Vida Loca (Itsuki Aoki & Rina Yamashita) & Saori Anou

Hanako pinned Death with a sitout torture rack bomb to win. It wasn't real serious or anything that good. There were at least 4 people in the ring at all times here and there wasn't a lot of urgency to try and get the win or anything, which just further made it clear that this one didn't matter. If you were expecting high speed chaos, this really wasn't it, but if you wanted to see people take triple teams, this was for you.

Fuwa-chan & FWC (Hazuki & Koguma) vs. Kikyo Furusawa, Maki Ito & Rian

Thoughts: I didn't like this at all. Kog and Rian fooled around to start things off and it was just never that serious or good. Lots of people ran in and out at their leisure as well.

Bea Priestley vs. Anne Kanaya

AK gets booted during her entrance. BP stomps her and grabs her nostrils. AK thesz presses her and low dropkicks her. AK is swept off the 2nd rope. BP pulls AK  throat first into the ropes.

Thoughts: Rina and Hina did their usual stuff. Syuri as trying a bit harder than usual though and was the standout in this one. There were a bunch of kicks thrown in this one but I thought it was average.

Future Of Stardom Title Match - Ranna Yagami (c) vs. Akira Kurogane

Akira runs at her and they do a bad lock up. Ran front facelocks her and goes for a sleeper. They do some mat wrestling. Ran yanks on Akira's arm and wristlocks her. Akira side headlocks her. They dropkick each other and Akira goes down. Ran yanks on the arm and then kicks it.

Ran high kicks Akira down. Ran chest kicks her then 2nd rope twisting enzugiri's her for 2. Ran buzzsaw kicks her and pins her.

Thoughts: It was disappointing. It didn't get a lot of time. They didn't do a lot of exciting stuff and it was a basic match for the most part. Akira didn't show a ton of spirit either and that kind of stuff isn't up Ranna's alley. This should have been a much better match and it was totally average instead. 

Artist Of Stardom Title Match - Triangle Of Madness (Julia Hart, Skye Blue & Thekla) (c) vs. Cosmic Angels (Aya Sakura, Natsupoi & Yuna Mizumori)

Thek starts hitting her opponents with a belt. The ref sees it and stops her. SB hits Aya with a title belt. Aya takes an assisted swinging uranage for 2. SB TKO's Aya and pins her.

Thoughts: It was average. The heels won via cheating which wasn't the most exciting ending. I didn't think the faces got a great comeback section in on this one and the heels didn't do that great or heel work either. As usual, Skye did a bunch of bad looking superkicks that barely connected. This should have been a little better than it was. 

Thekla talks on the mic after. She says they are still the champs and you won't get rid of them. Thek then calls out Stardom's President Okada and challenges him to get in the ring. Fuwa-chan, Hazuki and Koguma come out. Fuwa says to give the belt back to Stardom in English and says they are the next challengers. Thek pushes Fuwa over and tells her to get out of the ring.

Thoughts: I didn't like it. It went long. Momo kind of killed the heat in the middle of this one with her section and it got stupid by the end with people kicking out of canadian destroyers. This thing would just not end.

Han backdrops Ami for 2. Han then pins her with a backdrop.

Thoughts: The endless Hanan super push continues as she beats another wrestler who is a lot better than her. I thought they did a little too much with 2nd rope blue thunders being kicked out of. It was more of an Ami match than a Hanan match at least. It was acceptable but not much else.  

Hanan talks on the mic after and Ruaka comes out to try and get a title shot. Han agrees and Ruaka germans her. Ruaka then sits on her and poses with the title.

Suzu throws chairs at Tora while she's down for 2. Tora death valley drivers her. Tora grabs a chain and Suzu tequila shot's her for 2. Suzu hits germans on her twice then germans her on chairs to win.

Thoughts: They had a mostly safe hardcore match here. I don't think they really got vicious or violent enough and a lot of what they did is stuff Tora does in most of her singles matches anyway. It was acceptable but nothing too out of the ordinary.

Suzu talks on the mic after and offers her a handshake. Tora accepts it and Suzu hugs her. 

Overall thoughts: It was a disappointing Stardom show. They didn't have a great line-up for this one on paper and it wasn't much better in reality. Some of their better girls were stuck in pointless tag matches as usual and the next generation of girls is just in the position to carry these shows like they want them to be. The main was the best thing on here and even that was kind of by the numbers. The girls just did not go all out here for the most part and they did not treat this one like a major show. I'd give it 4 out of 10 and I though this was below average and disappointing.

SS top rope germans her. SS hits more germans for 2 counts. Kid rolls her and stretch mufflers her. SS submits.

Thoughts: Kid got a bit upset win here. I wish some of the big moves would have meant more here. Spanish flies and top rope germans really should put someone out. I liked that Kid worked the leg throughout the math and their strikes were okay. It was an okay match but it really had the potential to be great with some tweaks.

5STAR Grand Prix 2026 Semi Final Match - Rina vs. Maika

They run at each other and trade forearms to start. Maika throws her out. Rina is sent into the seats then Maika is sent into them. Maika is sent into the post. Rina chairs her arm against the post.

Thoughts: I liked it. They didn't overdo it. Rina focused the arm most of the match and Maika did her usual offense. I thought it was good. It didn't have as high of a ceiling as Kid/Suzu did, but it didn't have the issues it had. It was one of Rina's better matches. Maybe she is finally starting to get it?

Koguma & Matoi Hamabe vs. Cosmic Angels (Anne Kanaya & Yuna Mizumori) vs. Neo Genesis (Ema Maishima & Mei Seira) vs. HATE (Fukigen Death & Konami)

Koguma rolled up Yuna and won here. It was a short and rushed match with multiple people in at one time. It was simply just high speed chaos and not much else. Matoi went for a bunch of shoulder throws here.

Yuna holds her title up at Koguma after. They both talk on the mic and it seems like a title match may be set up. Bea Priestley (in orange hair) then attacks Yuna and Anne after. She says Anne broke her nose and she couldn't wrestle in the 5 Star GP because of it. She challenges her for the Yokohoma show and says she will break her face. She then stomps on her.

Hana takes a triple team 3D. Ami corner lariats Hana. Ami landslides Hana for the pin.

Thoughts: It was similar to the last match with a lot of people coming in and out as they pleased and tons of fast action. It was hard to follow and did little but throw people on the card. Hanako and Ami were in this one for most of it. We saw little of Kotatsu here. It wasn't anything special.

Ami talks on the mic after. Ami calls out Hanan and seems to want a shot at her title. Hanan agrees.

Thoughts: It was an acceptable tag. It wasn't anyone's best. They didn't go all out or anything. But, they didn't overdo it with the shenanigans and it went well. I would have liked to have seen more of this because it was going okay.

Tora death valley drivers Akira after. Tora goes for a chair shot but Suzu Suzuki comes out and interrupts her. Suzu holds her title up at her and Tora says something to her.

Thoughts: It was okay enough. Why this got put so high up on the card, I don't know. Ran and Aya did okay together here. KF focused on working the leg/ankle as usual.

Ran and Aya talk in the ring after. Akira, maybe Matoi, maybe Ema and I think Anne come out. I think Ran wants to nominate someone to challenge for her title and she seems to pick Akira. Akira then talks to her some and Ran talks more.

Thoughts: What we got was acceptable like the last match, but also like the last match, you have to wonder why it was here with nothing in particular being on the line. It was filler for the most part. The match was alright, but nothing would have changed if it wasn't here.

Iida and Saya K grab each other after and Saya K headbutts her down.

Saya K talks on the mic after. AZM and Miyu Amasaki come out with their tag titles. Saya K and Momo look like they will be challenging them. Saya K's team ends up attacking them and posing with the belts.

Poi ranhei's her for 2. Poi hits a made in Japan and pins her.

Thoughts: Poi winning was a bit of a surprise she's not sticking around while Anou is. It was almost all chest forearms, some brawling and lots of german suplexes. The selling wasn't that good as usual with Poi, but at least they didn't go too crazy. It was alright enough.

They basically shake on it after and talk to each other on the mic. They then walk out together.

Kid forearm flurries her. Rina running facekicks her. Rina dropkicks her off the buckles. Rina package piledrivers her for 2. Rina gori bombs her and pins her.

Thoughts: Kid did her knee work as usual but did it a bit less towards the end. Rina did her usual offense with gori bombs, double knee drops and so forth. It went on a little longer than it needed to. I'd say Rina's match earlier in the show was better. It was an acceptable main but it just wasn't great.

Rina is given the queen's robe and crown after. Rina talks on the mic and gets confetti and streamers. Rina cries and goes out into the crowd to celebrate.

Overall thoughts: It was a longer show that ran close to 4 hours. Kid/Suzu was okay. Rina/Maika was good and the best match of the night. Matches 3 and 4 were similar high speed throwaways. Tora's tag was acceptable and I would have liked to have seen more of it. Kikyo's and Hanan's matches were kind of just filler and both were fine enough. Poi/Anou was an alright bout but Poi's selling wasn't the best. The main was acceptable, but not great. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall. I kind of knew what to expect with Kid and Rina being featured so much here and knew it probably wouldn't lead to greatness. It was an okay show. 

Overall GP thoughts: I don't know why they ran it at the same time as the G-1 as it made it hard to watch both. The GP was missing a lot of names and that did hurt at times. The Blue Stars A block was not that good and the less those wrestlers were on shows, the better. Night 15 was probably the best night. I'd say it probably was better than the G-1, but the first few nights of this tournament were rough.

Day 13 is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/stardom-8152026-5star-grand-prix-2026.html

Thoughts: I don't know who started the "take a big move, no sell it and roll your opponent up into a pin" spot, but I hate that spot. Saya's finisher is supposed to put people out. It's not supposed to be ignored. Saya has now taken 2 losses in 2 days here which is a bit unusual. As usual, Hanan didn't sell all that much here. It was all high speed action. It was competitive and they did establish that Han could maybe win this. It had some good and bad parts to it. 

Saya beats up the ref after.

Thoughts: It was a shorter bout. Hart was just along for the ride here and didn't get much in but her basic offense. I think Suzu got her good with a headbutt as Hart put an ice bag on her head after.

Thoughts: I liked this and thought it was an okay bout here. It was two big girls hitting each other and Ruaka limited some of the heel tactics. We got to see a lot more out of Ruaka than usual and I thought she did a good job with it. This went 15 minutes and I'd have been fine with this going another 5 or so.

Thoughts: These two aren't that different from each other. Rina didn't do as much heeling as usual here. The selling was questionable at times. I think AZM got a little more out of Rina than others but Rina has limits and her matches her only so good because of it. I thought this was average.

Rina gets on the mic after and AZM leaves. 

Overall thoughts: The opener had good and bad parts. Maika/Akira was fine. Suzu/Hart was short. I liked Ruaka/Hanako. Utami/Mei was alright as was Kid/Ami.

Thoughts: It was a bit one-sided and I didn't buy that Aya could win here. It was an acceptable bout otherwise though. The two just stiffed each other with kicks and forearms the whole time until Suzu won as expected. It was just nice to see Aya in a longer singles match for a change.

Momo talks on the mic after. Aya is given the mic and she screams at her. Suzu talks more on the mic and holds her title up.

Overall thoughts: It was a good show overall. We started off with 3 okay matches in row. Lady C/Mei also ended up being one too. Kog/Starlight Kid wasn't very serious. Hart/Miyu was average. Ruaka/Hina was acceptable as was Momo/Hanan and the main. Mostly everything delivered here. I'd give it a higher 6 out of 10 overall. Yuna/Saya was the best match of the night.

Overall thoughts: It wasn't one of my favorite GP shows. There were two time limit draws that weren't that interesting and those caused the main event to get less time. There was nothing here I loved that much and the main was probably my favorite thing on the show. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 and would say it was below average. I didn't like this one.
