Starlight Kid & Natsuko Tora vs. Kaori Yoneyama & Ruaka This was very good quality for an opener. While you could argue that most of the participants in this match deserve to be much higher on the card it was still entertaining. Starlight Kid pinned Ruaka after a beautiful reverse frog splash. 2.25/5 Hanan vs. […]

Ruaka vs. Hanan Great intensity from both girls but this was still a standard opener in terms of the wrestling. Ruaka pinned Hanan after a Fisherman’s Suplex. 2/5 Team Jungle (Jungle Kyona, Natsuko Tora & Kaori Yoneyama) vs. Starlight Kid, Konami & Shiki Shibusawa Fun match even if the quality wasn’t great in places. Shiki […]

Ruaka vs. Kaori Yoneyama vs. Hanan I expected this to be a very standard opener but it was a little better than that. Yoneyama interacted well with the crowd as usual and both Ruaka & Hanan worked well to put on an entertaining match. I’d still like to see Yoneyama further up the card but […]

Hanan vs. Kris Wolf It’s nice to see Hanan progressing in this fast-paced opener. Kris is at a level where she is entertaining anywhere on the card too although it is a shame she could not be in the tag league due to Tam Nakano’s injury. This was fast and pretty smooth. The highlight came […]

Ruaka vs. Hanan A little different from most Stardom openers as this had far more grappling and a lot less pin attempts, which is definitely a good thing. The main part of the match was dominated by a big Boston crab by Ruaka. Hanan sold it very well and got to the ropes before Ruaka […]

AZM vs. Ruaka vs. Hanan The experience of AZM really helped this match compared to last week. Hanan got to show a lot more of her talent with some smooth throws. Ruaka showed her strength, catching AZM’s attempt at a crossbody (though she did drop her a few seconds later). Hanan won after foiling Ruaka’s […]

Starlight Kid vs. Hanan vs. Ruaka This was a good opener. It amazes me that 3 kids can have a match that is technically superior and better put together than some WWE womens matches. Hanan has a background in Judo and uses it well as she demonstrates some great takedowns. Starlight Kid impresses as usual […]
Starlight Kid & Shiki Shibusawa vs. Ruaka & Hanan Kid, Ruaka & Hanan all continue to impress. Hanan in particular has very quickly looked very smooth in the ring. Shibusawa looked very green but this is only her second match. The match itself was a very standard junior/rookies opener. Starlight Kid pinned Hanan for the […]
