PAGEOT, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<p>Konami (wearing a Red Hot Chili Peppers shirt) was excited about a box of sushi she had. She wasn\u2019t allowed to eat it until after she beat Iida, though. Iida of course said she would like to win with her Iidabashi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) KONAMI vs. SAYA IIDA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Konami was in complete control for the first two minutes until Iida caught with her a couple dropkicks. She tried for multiple covers off of two body slams but Konami kicked out each time. Iidabashi at 5:00 but Konami kicked out. A straitjacket German suplex and a kick to the head put away the rookie.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Konami in 5:48.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: The only thing noteworthy here is that Konami didn\u2019t win with the triangle lancer. Oh, and the Chili Peppers shirt confirms she\u2019s full heel now.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Hazuki said she was going to do her half-assed best. Kyona said this was their fifth year in Takaoka. She has a new costume, new gown, and new entrance music. Enjoy the new Jungle Kyona. Kid said this was a rare three-way with these three but she wanted to carry some momentum into challenging for the high speed title.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) HIGH SPEED CHAMPION HAZUKI vs. JUNGLE KYONA vs. STARLIGHT KID \u2013 NON-TITLE MATCH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kyona was sent to ringside early so the high speed kids could have a little showdown. Hazuki took down the faces and hit a double facewash on both of them. With Kid in a camel clutch she started to remove her mask. Tiger feint kicks from Kid to both women. Standing moonsault onto both of them. Giant swing from Kyona to Kid. Springboard dropkick from Hazuki to Kyona and a codebreaker for a two-count. Crossface. Rope break. Twisting splash from Kid to Kyona. Hazuki prevented a code red. Kyona picked up both women and body slammed them both at the same time before putting them both into a Boston crab at the same time. Rope break by Hazuki. Kyona clotheslined Hazuki over the top rope. Body slam to Kid. Superfly Splash for the win.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3711953874\" 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: Jungle Kyona in 7:33.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Good match. I don\u2019t know if Kyona would be considered an addition to the high speed division or if they\u2019re content with it simply being Hazuki, AZM, and Kid battling each other over and over forever. Personally I\u2019d rather she take down Bea Priestley and claim the red belt but that seems like distant wishful thinking.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Kyona\u2019s new entrance gear includes a floor-length black leather jacket with a white wedding dress train attached. The letters T.C.S. are bedazzled across the back as well and she has clear plastic paintball goggles and a paintball gun that she pretends to shoot her fans with. It\u2019s\u2026 unique? Sadly, her new music is very forgettable. The ring gear is solid, though, mostly white with pink and black highlights. That, plus her using the sharpshooter, makes me think she\u2019s a Bret Hart fan.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Hayashishita said this was her first time in Takaoka and first time teaming with Onozaki. Brookside said it was the last day of her tour. Kashima was proud to be her partner for the last match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) QUEEN\u2019S QUEST (Goddess of Stardom\/SWA World\/Future Of Stardom Champion Utami Hayashishita &amp; Leo Onozaki) vs. STARS (Artist Of Stardom Champion Saki Kashima &amp; Xia Brookside)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hayashishita and Kashima started. Hayashishita controlled for a short while before tagging in Onozaki. Stars immediately took over and Kashima and Brookside tagged in and out, working over Onozaki. Onozkai got a few shots in on Brookside and tagged Hayashishita at 5:00. Hayashishita took out both opponents. Torture rack slam to Kashima but Brookside broke up the pin. Brookside Bomb to Onozaki followed by a top rope double-stomp from Kashima.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Stars in 9:02.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Just an ordinary match.)<\/em><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2495427187\" 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>-Kimura said she was with Zoe and Bobbi, or Zobbi. Yes sir. Watanabe said this was the semi-final (of tonight\u2019s show, not a tournament).<\/p>\n<p><strong>(4) QUEEN\u2019S QUEST (World Of Stardom Champion Bea Priestley, Goddess Of Stardom Champion Momo Watanabe, &amp; AZM) vs. TOKYO CYBER SQUAD (Hana Kimura, Bobbi Tyler, &amp; Zoe Lucas)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>AZM and Lucas started. Lucas mocked her height so AZM kicked her knee out and hit a headscissors. Watanabe gave the boost for a double-stomp to Lucas. Watanabe tagged in but took a co-surfboard from Kimura and Tyler. The heels worked over Watanabe. Tag to Priestley. She went to town on Tyler while AZM held off Kimura. AZM and Lucas battled again. Watanabe got a visual pinfall on Kimura off the running double knees but the referee was distracted by Konami and Kyona at ringside.<\/p>\n<p>Watanabe with a guillotine choke to Kimura at 10:00. Lucas took our Watanabe, Priestley took out Lucas, and Tyler took out Priestley. Delayed vertical suplex from Kimura and Tyler to AZM. Kimura made AZM tap to the octopus.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Tokyo Cyber Squad in 13:53.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Another house show match with the most obvious candidate taking the loss.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Kagetsu said they\u2019d do their best. They unenthusiastically cheered. Storm said she was playing the role of Tam Nakano today. Like Brookside, it was also the last show of her current tour.<\/p>\n<p>Two small children were waiting to give bouquets to Stars. Kagetsu intercepted one of the children, hugged him, and thanked him so much for bringing her flowers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) STARS (Wonder Of Stardom Champion Arisa Hoshiki, Artist Of Stardom Champion Mayu Iwatani, &amp; NXT UK Women\u2019s Champion Toni Storm) vs. OEDO TAI (Kagetsu, Andras Miyagi, &amp; Natsuko Tora)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oedo Tai attacked before the bell and the teams brawled into the crowd. After a prolonged period of selling Iwatani made the hot tag to Storm at 11:15. Oedo Tai quickly came back and triple-teamed her but Iwatani and Hoshiki helped fight back. Storm and Tora fought. Iwatani and Hoshiki kicked Tora into a bridging German suplex from Storm. Lariat. Hazuki with a distraction and Tora hit Storm with the Oedo Tai placard. All six women back in the ring. Hoshiki with a high crossbody onto Kagetsu, Miyagi, and Hazuki at ringside. Headbutt from Storm to Tora. A trio of kicks from Stars. Storm Zero to Tora for the pin.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Stars in 17:30.<\/p>\n<p>-Iwatani thanked the fans. She said it was Storm\u2019s last day in Japan. Storm said she loves them and Stardom and she\u2019ll always return. The entire roster came out to pose to close the show.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Of course that was the finish. Let\u2019s hope Tora has a strong showing in the <\/em>5Star Grand Prix<em> because she\u2019s really been knocked back down to enhancement talent quickly after her little initial push coming out of the draft.)<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1236772358\"><div id=\"pwtor-210202804\"><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 IN TAKAOKA JULY 7, 2019 TAKAOKA, JAPAN AT TAKAOKA ECOEUR AIRED ON STARDOM WORLD REPORT BY HARLEY R.
