PAGEOT, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<p>Iida said she\u2019d like to co-operate with Tora to pick up her first single victory. Tora pointed out this was essentially the same match she was in on the previous show. AZM said they\u2019re both fat so she\u2019ll pick up the win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) NATSUKO TORA vs. AZM vs. \u201cTHE LITTLE GIANT\u201d SAYA IIDA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The JAN members worked together for the opening minutes before Iida turned on Tora (just as Leo Onozaki did in Tora\u2019s three-way on the previous show). AZM pinned Iida after a top rope double-stomp.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: AZM in 5:50.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Just an opening match. I thought Tora would win to continue to build her up for her Women Of Honor title match but I suppose AZM needed some credibility after losing all the tag matches for her teams recently.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Kel said she\u2019s the only American on the roster right now and they\u2019ll need a step-stool to face her. Kid said she\u2019s 30 centimeters taller than her, which is crazy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) STARS (Artist Of Stardom Champion Saki Kashima &amp; Starlight Kid) vs. XIA BROOKSIDE &amp; REBEL KEL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kid got a fair amount of offense in on Kel and even hit her twisting splash finisher but Brookside broke up the pin. In the end Kel hit Kid with a chokeslam and pinned her with one foot on her chest.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1692917943\" 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: Brookside &amp; Kel in 8:58.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Decent match. It\u2019s just a shame how far Kid has fallen since losing the Future Of Stardom title. She\u2019s basically just enhancement again, losing every match she\u2019s in. I\u2019d imagine Kel\u2019s being built up for a big title match, maybe against Momo Watanabe for the white belt.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Kyona said she\u2019d been looking forward to teaming with Onozaki since her return from injury. Priestley talked up her team with Konami and dubbed them Kona-Bea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) QUEEN\u2019S QUEST: KONA-BEA (Konami &amp; Bea Priestley) vs. JAN (Jungle Kyona &amp; Leo Onozaki)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Priestley pinned Onozaki off of her straitjacket electric chair drop.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Kona-Bea in 7:45.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Another predictable one. Apologies if I sound less than enthusiastic about these past few shows. I think I\u2019m suffering from Stardom burnout. They just do so many events that it becomes more of a chore trying to keep up rather than a pleasure to sit down and watch the next show. The traditional American TV model of one one-hour show each week seems like a good amount of content to me. These weeks where they do three two-hour+ shows is a lot to keep up with.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Iwatani said she\u2019s the WOH champion but she\u2019d like the red belt or high speed title too. Hoshiki said Hazuki made her mad the last time they fought so she wants to beat her up. Kagetsu said her neck was still hurting from her afternoon battle with Goya Kong so she was leaving this one to Hazuki.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1910945419\" 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 (WOH World Champion\/Artist Of Stardom Champion Mayu Iwatani &amp; Arisa Hoshiki) vs. OEDO TAI (World Of Stardom Champion Kagetsu &amp; High Speed Champion Hazuki)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kagetsu did not wrestle like she had an injured neck. In the end Kagetsu got knocked to the floor. Iwatani hit a high crossbody on Hazuki and Hoshiki followed with her side kick to the head from off the top rope. As she connected, the bell rang for the time limit draw.<\/p>\n<p>DECISION: Time limit draw in 15:00.<\/p>\n<p>-Hazuki and Hoshiki had to be dragged apart by the rookie squad post-match. One of them yelled at the other to face her in a hair vs. hair match. Iwatani and Kagetsu finally managed to separate them. The ring announcer came into the ring and said she didn\u2019t think there should be a haircut match in Stardom. If they wanted to see someone cut their hair, she\u2019d do it right now. She pulled out a pair of scissors and started to cut off her long hair but Kagetsu grabbed the scissors away. Iwatani and Hoshiki escorted her to the back. As they left Hazuki challenged Hoshiki to a singles match.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Good match, as you\u2019d expect from these four. It felt like they were building up a Hoshiki-Hazuki match for the high speed title so I bought into Hoshiki pinning her when the time ran out. The post-match was interesting. The hair stipulation came out of nowhere and it wasn\u2019t clear whether it was then dropped again or not. They\u2019re definitely having a singles match soon. But with the high speed title on the line? With their hair on the line? Or just Hoshiki\u2019s hair vs. Hazuki\u2019s title? The ring announcer being so upset about the idea of either woman having to cut their hair that she would sacrifice her own locks instead was pretty funny.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Our next contest was billed as a battle of the super heavyweights. Kong cut a promo in Spanish. Viper said it\u2019s unusual for her to be the smaller woman in a match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) GOYA KONG vs. VIPER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After some tests of strength and both women missing splashes they fought to ringside. Viper sat Kong in a chair and hit her with a running cannonball. Kong threw her into the ring post. They continued to brawl as the referee counted 20.<\/p>\n<p>DECISION: Double count out in 7:07.<\/p>\n<p>-They also had to be separated by the rookies post-match.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: About what you\u2019d expect. If the idea was to make Kong look impressive going into her title match against Kagetsu I\u2019m not sure this achieved that. If anything seeing her in the ring with Viper just underscored how slow and lumbering Kong is. Also very strange to do two non-finish, pull-apart brawls in a row. I get that Triple H probably doesn\u2019t want Viper losing a random match like this right at the same time she\u2019s debuting on <\/em>NXT UK<em> but why do the Hoshiki-Hazuki finish on the same show then?)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Sumire put over her and Miyagi as being freelancers and said they\u2019re going to make history. Watanabe also described this as a preview of her white belt defense against Miyagi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(6) QUEEN\u2019S QUEST (Wonder Of Stardom Champion Momo Watanabe &amp; SWA World Champion\/Future Of Stardom Champion Utami Hayashishita) vs. OEDO TAI (Andras Miyagi &amp; Natsu Sumire) \u2013 GODDESS OF STARDOM CHAMPIONSHIP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Watanabe and Miyagi fought a lot but it was Watanabe pinning Sumire with the Peach Sunrise.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Queen\u2019s Quest in 14:58 to retain the tag titles.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Good main event.)<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1938884309\"><div id=\"pwtor-1028361736\"><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 GROW UP STARS MARCH 21, 2019 OSAKA, JAPAN AT OSAKA WORLD PAVILION AIRED ON STARDOM WORLD REPORT BY HARLEY R.
