PAGEOT, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<p>Riho said their goal wasn\u2019t just to win, it was to make everyone in the world happy. Hanan admitted they couldn\u2019t win the league but they wanted to win at least once.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) COLOR ME POP (Riho &amp; Gokigen Death) vs. WING\u2605GORI (Saya Iida &amp; Hanan) \u2013 TAG LEAGUE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Riho hit Death with a Hell Thrust by accident yet again. Iidabashi for the pin on Death.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Wing\u2605Gori in 5:46.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Color Me Pop started off the tag league with a strong showing but their insistence on using the Hell Thrust completely bungled all their momentum. Losing their final match to the token jobber team is fitting at this point. Those who don\u2019t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it, Riho.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-No promos for the Oedo Tai vs. Oedo Tai battle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) BLACK WIDOWS (SWA World Champion Bea Priestley &amp; Konami) vs. DEVIL DUO (Natsuko Tora &amp; Saki Kashima) \u2013 TAG LEAGUE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kashima pinned Priestley with a Revival.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2334847262\" 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>WINNERS: Devil Duo in 8:05.<\/p>\n<p>-Priestley nursed her lip and asked Tora why she hit her with her chain. She said nobody in Oedo Tai sucks. Momo Watanabe sucks the most!<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: That finish added two years to my life. It was a hard-hitting match, which doesn\u2019t seem to make much kayfabe sense as DD still need the next three matches to end with Blue victories to even be in contention for a possible block win. Whereas if they had just laid down here for their stable mates they would have guaranteed a Red block win for Priestley &amp; Konami and sent them to the finals.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Nakano was sad that they couldn\u2019t make it to the finals. Shirakawa was looking forward to facing Hayashishita, though, as they both debuted around the same time. Nakano pointed out that a win over the tag champs earns you a title shot so they could still get a shot at the gold here even without winning the tag league. Hayashishita said Nakano is only second to her for throwing the most dangerous suplexes. She didn\u2019t know who Shirakawa was, though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) GODDESS OF STARDOM CHAMPIONS APHRODITE (Utami Hayashishita &amp; Saya Kamitani) vs. DREAM H (Tam Nakano &amp; Mina Shirakawa) \u2013 TAG LEAGUE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hayashishita pinned Shirakawa with a German suplex.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: AphroditE in 14:06.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: The champs pull into the lead in the Red block and eliminate Devil Duo from the tournament. Only MK or Crazy Bloom can pass them now.)<\/em><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-301444710\" 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>-Watanabe said it was their last match of the league and they\u2019ve only lost once. They wanted to go to the finals and take the tag titles from their stable mates. Kid said it was the last day of the league and Iwatani forgot her mask. Iwatani apologized.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(4) MK\u2606SISTERS (World Of Stardom Champion Mayu Iwatani &amp; Starlight Kid) vs. MOMOAZ (High Speed Champion AZM &amp; Momo Watanabe) \u2013 TAG LEAGUE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Watanabe pinned Kid with a Peach Sunrise.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: MomoAz in 11:30.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: MomoAz pull into the lead in the Blue block and eliminate Black Widows from the tournament. For those paying attention that\u2019s two matches in a row where the Queen\u2019s Quest team won, taking the lead, and eliminating the Oedo Tai team. They call it karma.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We have one match left and it\u2019s Donna Del Mondo vs. Donna Del Mondo. A win for Giulia &amp; Maika will give them the block and put them in the finals against MomoAz. A win for Syuri &amp; Himeka will tie them with MomoAz for first place in the Blue block. A time limit draw will tie Crazy Bloom and AphroditE for first place in the Red block. Considering there are no established tie-breakers in this year\u2019s league and Stardom would never do a three-way final it\u2019s obvious that Crazy Bloom are winning here.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Syuri was confident they were going to win this then win the finals. Giulia was hopeful they\u2019d win. Maika refused to lose.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) ARTIST OF STARDOM CHAMPIONS CRAZY BLOOM (Wonder Of Stardom Champion Giulia &amp; Future Of Stardom Champion Maika) vs. GRAB THE TOP (Artist Of Stardom Champion Syuri &amp; Himeka) \u2013 TAG LEAGUE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Himeka hit Maika with a torture rack slam. Maika no-sold and flipped over into a pin for two. Himeka kicked out and into a rear naked choke from Maika. She transitioned into a pin. The referee counted one\u2026 two\u2026 Himeka kicked out. The referee paused, then counted three.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Crazy Bloom in 14:07.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Times like this Stardom would really benefit from English commentary because I have no idea what that finish was supposed to be. It was their senior referee so it certainly wasn\u2019t any sort of storyline of him screwing Himeka or being bad at his job. Just bizarre.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-MomoAz made their entrance carrying a Queen\u2019s Quest flag as Crazy Bloom iced up their sore body parts in the ring. They jumped Giulia and Maika before introductions could be held.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(6) ARTIST OF STARDOM CHAMPIONS CRAZY BLOOM (Wonder Of Stardom Champion Giulia &amp; Future Of Stardom Champion Maika) vs. MOMOAZ (High Speed Champion AZM &amp; Momo Watanabe) \u2013 TAG LEAGUE FINALS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>QQ tossed Giulia to the floor and double-teamed Maika. DDM quickly took control back with stereo tilt-a-whirl backbreakers. Maika and Watanabe wound up legal. Maika hit a sequence of body slams before tagging in Giulia. They immediately grounded Watanabe and worked her over. Tag to AZM. Lots of quick tags from both teams with everyone in and out after 20 seconds of action. All four women were down selling exhaustion at 8:48. (You\u2019ve got to work on your cardio, MomoAz. You shouldn\u2019t be gassed after nine minutes.)<\/p>\n<p>Watanabe and Maika traded forearms. Watanabe held Maika so AZM could hit double knees to the back of her head. Giulia broke up the pin with a kick. Giulia with a powerslam to Watanabe but she wasn\u2019t the legal woman. Vader Bomb from Maika for two. More double-teaming to Watanabe. AZM broke up the pin. Clothesline from Maika to Watanabe. Release German suplex to Maika. Giulia came in illegally again. Flapjack into a codebreaker from QQ. More illegal double-teaming from QQ. Peach Sunrise to Maika for the pin.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: MomoAz in 12:30 to win the 2020 Goddesses Of Stardom tag league.<\/p>\n<p>-MomoAz were presented with a trophy and ceremonial rings. AZM said that Watanabe beat MK\u2606Sisters and DDM so clearly she doesn\u2019t suck. This was just the start so keep your eyes on them. Watanabe called out the tag champions, their fellow QQ members in AphroditE. Hayashishita was happy they won but wanted to avenge their loss to them during the league.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: MomoAz aren\u2019t waiting to get their tag title shot. That\u2019s going to happen on our next show six days from now in Korakuen Hall. If AphroditE manage to stave off the challenge from their QQ bosses they\u2019ll have Himeka &amp; Syuri waiting for them next as they were the only other team to earn a victory over the champs during the league.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>They may not have won but the DDM super push remains in full force. Not only did they get the final league match for their inter-faction battle but Himeka was protected with a screwy finish, Giulia &amp; Maika were protected in defeat by having to wrestle twice in a row, and they even had QQ heelishly jump them before the match.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Donna Del Mondo remain the most consistently-pushed, highest-ranking faction while QQ have now won the <\/em>5Star Grand Prix<em> and tag league back to back and Oedo Tai are on a slight upswing with the recruitments of Konami and Rina and Bea Priestley\u2019s return to Japan \u2026and then there\u2019s Stars.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Final Red Goddesses standings:<br \/>\nCrazy Bloom (Giulia &amp; Maika) \u2013 6<br \/>\nAphroditE (Utami Hayashishita &amp; Saya Kamitani) \u2013 5<br \/>\nDevil Duo (Natsuko Tora &amp; Saki Kashima) \u2013 4<br \/>\nMK\u2606Sisters (Mayu Iwatani &amp; Starlight Kid) \u2013 4<br \/>\nwing\u2605gori (Saya Iida &amp; Hanan) \u2013 2<\/p>\n<p>Final Blue Goddesses standings:<br \/>\nMomoAz (Momo Watanabe &amp; AZM) \u2013 8\u00a0 <strong>*WINNERS<\/strong><br \/>\nBlack Widows (Konami &amp; Bea Priestley) \u2013 7<br \/>\nGrab The Top (Syuri &amp; Himeka) \u2013 6<br \/>\nColor Me Pop (Gokigen Death &amp; Riho) \u2013 4<br \/>\nDream H (Tam Nakano &amp; Mina Shirakawa) \u2013 4<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3389695588\"><div id=\"pwtor-740180417\"><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 GODDESSES OF STARDOM NOVEMBER 8, 2020 OSAKA, JAPAN AT EDION ARENA AIRED ON STARDOM WORLD REPORT BY HARLEY R.
