PAGEOT, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<p>Iida said this was her first singles match with Watanabe. She can\u2019t finish the GP with zero points. Even just one point would be something. Watanabe said she\u2019d finish it quickly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) MOMO WATANABE vs. SAYA IIDA \u2013 BLUE STARS BLOCK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>B-Driver for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Momo Watanabe in 6:28.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Iida\u2019s last match is against Natsuko Tora. There\u2019s a good chance she could win that by disqualification so maybe she won\u2019t finish with zero points. Watanabe\u2019s last match is against Kyona in a match we\u2019re dubbing \u201cAlways The Bridesmaid.\u201d)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Himeka accused Kashima of always using weapons but said she wouldn\u2019t lose.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) HIMEKA vs. SAKI KASHIMA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kashima tried for an inside cradle but Himeka pinned her with a torture rack slam.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3430335222\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>WINNER: Himeka in 6:20.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Are they really going to have this weak jobber version of Oedo Tai be the ones responsible for the break-up of Tokyo Cyber Squad?)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Death, Death, sixth match Death. Konami considered her the scariest opponent in the tournament.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) KONAMI vs. DEATH YAMA-SAN \u2013 RED STARS BLOCK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Konami looked for a triangle lancer but Death managed to roll her over and get the shoulders down for the three.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Death Yama-san in 5:36.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Death Yano-san strikes again. Konami\u2019s last match is against Himeka, who is one point up on her. That means she has to beat Himeka if she wants to take the Red Stars.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Hanan showed off her hair as styled by Kid. They\u2019d do their best with youthful freshness. Kyona was excited for her first teaming with Riho. They were both in pink.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1885836521\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>(4) STARS (Starlight Kid &amp; Hanan) vs. JUNGLE KYONA &amp; RIHO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kyona made Hanan tap to a sharpshooter.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Kyona &amp; Riho in 7:20.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: I continue to have no idea what the situation is with Riho but she remains one wildcard that could shake things up if they chose to (were able to?) do more with her. Having TCS retain their stablehood on the 28th and bringing in Riho as a recruit would really help them rebound.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-AZM didn\u2019t care that Tora\u2019s a heel. She was going to win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) HIGH SPEED CHAMPION AZM vs. NATSUKO TORA \u2013 BLUE STARS BLOCK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Top rope double stomp. Tilt-a-whirl armbar. Kashima distracted the ref. Tora clotheslined AZM with her chain.

The only way she can take the Red Stars now is if she beats Nakano and Konami vs. Himeka goes to a draw.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Nakano vowed to take everything away from Giulia. Giulia said she\u2019d knock her down further.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(7) WONDER OF STARDOM &amp; ARTIST OF STARDOM CHAMPION GIULIA vs. TAM NAKANO \u2013 RED STARS BLOCK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tiger suplex for the pin.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Tam Nakano in 10:24.<\/p>\n<p>-Nakano was giddy over the victory. She pointed out that they\u2019re now 1-1 in singles matches. October 3 will be the tie-breaker with the white belt on the line. Giulia said that Nakano has made her mad now. She promised to rain hell on her and called her trash.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Nakano\u2019s last opponent is Iwatani. The only way she can take the Red Stars now is if she beats Iwatani and Konami beats Himeka. Giulia now has the most singles losses out of everyone in DDM.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Maika and Hayashishita were also 1-1 in singles action. Hayashishita pointed out that a win here would take the block for her and put her in the finals.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: \u2026so we know that\u2019s not happening.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(8) GODDESS OF STARDOM CHAMPION UTAMI HAYASHISHITA vs. FUTURE OF STARDOM &amp; ARTIST OF STARDOM CHAMPION MAIKA \u2013 BLUE STARS BLOCK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hayashishita passed out in a katahajime chokehold.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Maika in 13:55.<\/p>\n<p>-Hayashishita was a poor loser and gave Maika the finger before leaving. Maika boasted about beating her rival in her (Maika\u2019s) hometown. DDM closed the show.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Hayashishita has one match left and her opponent is Syuri. Maika has two matches left and her opponents are AZM and Syuri. The only way Syuri can take Blue Stars is if she wins both matches. If Hayashishita loses her match she\u2019s out of the tournament. If Hayashishita wins, Maika would need at least a win and a draw to take the block. If Hayashishita loses, then Maika vs. Syuri decides the block.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The five best singles records in 2020 Stardom are now:<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Himeka \u2013 6-1-1<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Maika \u2013 7-2-1<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Giulia \u2013 10-3-2<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Syuri \u2013 6-2-1<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Jamie Hayter \u2013 3-1-1<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Red Stars standings after show 7:<br \/>\nHimeka \u2013 9<br \/>\nMayu Iwatani \u2013 8<br \/>\nKonami \u2013 8<br \/>\nTam Nakano \u2013 8<br \/>\n<del>Giulia \u2013 6<\/del><br \/>\n<del>Death Yama-san \u2013 4<\/del><br \/>\n<del>Saya Kamitani \u2013 3<\/del><br \/>\n<del>Starlight Kid \u2013 2<\/del><\/p>\n<p>Blue Stars standings after show 7:<br \/>\nUtami Hayashishita \u2013 9<br \/>\nMaika \u2013 8<br \/>\nSyuri \u2013 6<br \/>\n<del>Momo Watanabe \u2013 7<\/del><br \/>\n<del>Jungle Kyona \u2013 6<\/del><br \/>\n<del>AZM \u2013 4<\/del><br \/>\n<del>Natsuko Tora \u2013 4<\/del><br \/>\n<del>Saya Iida \u2013 0<\/del><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-4191756433\"><div id=\"pwtor-2329119083\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>STARDOM 5STAR GRAND PRIX SEPTEMBER 13, 2020 FUKUOKA, JAPAN AT NISHITETSU HALL AIRED ON STARDOM WORLD REPORT BY HARLEY R.
