PAGEOT, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<p>Iida didn\u2019t care about the match being changed to a three-way (due to Jungle Kyona\u2019s injury). She just wanted to win. Kid confirmed it was supposed to be her vs. Iida in a singles match initially. Priestley said she was supposed to be in a tag match. She wasn\u2019t worried about facing two Stars members here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) WORLD OF STARDOM CHAMPION BEA PRIESTLEY vs. STARLIGHT KID vs. SAYA IIDA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Priestley pinned Iida with a bridging back suplex.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Bea Priestley in 5:04.<\/p>\n<p>-Avary said she was on a one-match winning streak, but here she was facing a 16 year-old ninja. AZM said if she didn\u2019t win here, she couldn\u2019t make it to the finals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) AZM vs. AVARY \u2013 RED STARS BLOCK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Straitjacket lungblower and a hammerlock DDT.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Avary in 6:26.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3410711421\" 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><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: This is the kind of booking I hate. Avary\u2019s been portrayed as a jobber the entire tournament but now that we\u2019re nearing the end she\u2019s suddenly picking up wins and eliminating people from contention. It doesn\u2019t come across as \u201cwow, wrestling is chaotic and anyone can win on any given night\u201d it reeks of \u201ceh, we don\u2019t want her to win so we\u2019ll use the guest to just knock her out of the tournament.\u201d It instantly takes me out of the moment and reminds me that this is all scripted and pre-planned.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>That was AZM\u2019s last match. She\u2019s still tied for first in red stars but at least two of her opponents are guaranteed to score at least one additional point so she has been eliminated.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Kamitani didn\u2019t know where Kimura was so she went looking for her. Onozaki wanted to have good teamwork with Watanabe and win.<\/p>\n<p>Kamitani entered alone. Kimura eventually showed up. The rookie held the ropes open but Kimura kicked her off the apron instead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) QUEEN\u2019S QUEST (Momo Watanabe &amp; Leo Onozaki) vs. HANA KIMURA &amp; SAYA KAMITANI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Watanabe pinned Kamitani.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Queen\u2019s Quest in 7:15.<\/p>\n<p>-Tora said she lost during the daytime show so it can only get better. Konami said this was her final match. She wants to go to the finals so she can\u2019t lose.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1291234235\" 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) GODDESS OF STARDOM CHAMPION KONAMI vs. NATSUKO TORA \u2013 BLUE STARS BLOCK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Spear from Tora. Konami into the ring post. Irish whip reversed, sending Tora into the ring post. Konami charged for a kick and Tora moved, leg colliding with post. Tora found an umbrella under the ring and attacked until the referee pried it away. A barrage of forearms from Tora in the ring. Konami tried for a kick. Tora caught the leg and chewed on her kneepad, somehow hurting Konami? Ankle lock from Konami. Enziguiri. Suplex. German suplex. Stretch muffler. Tora with the Oedo Tai placard. Samoan drop. The referee refused to count a pinfall for some reason? Two frog-splashes and Tora went for the placard again. She and the ref fought and he was knocked down in the process. She lay the placard across Konami and went up top but Konami moved. Triangle Lancer out of nowhere for the tap.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Konami in 5:38.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Not a bad match. Konami moves into blue stars lead alone, making Kagetsu and Bea Priestley unable to catch her. They have been eliminated. Jamie Hayter has one match left, against Priestley. If she can defeat Priestley or tie her, Hayter wins the blue stars. A win for Priestley is a win for Konami.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Hazuki still had nothing to say. Kashima said she lost to Sumire via her own move, the Revival. In this match she would show her Revival is still superior.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) SAKI KASHIMA vs. HAZUKI \u2013 RED STARS BLOCK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hazuki tossed Kashima around by the hair. Springboard kick to the back. Codebreaker out of the corner. Revival, attempted counter by Hazuki, back into the Revival.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Saki Kashima in 2:49.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Hazuki still has one match left against Kimura so she\u2019s not out of it yet.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Oedo Tai were joined backstage by retired All Japan and Arsion wrestler Michiko Omukai. Stars were joined by Riho and the ring announcer. She said this is the new Stars. (Meaning Riho has officially joined them? A lot of context was missing from these promos for me.)<\/p>\n<p>A young boy and girl accompanied Oedo Tai to the ring. (Omukai\u2019s children?)<\/p>\n<p><strong>(6) OEDO TAI (Jamie Hayter &amp; Artist Of Stardom Champions Kagetsu, Andras Miyagi, &amp; Natsu Sumire w\/Michiko Omukai) vs. RIHO &amp; STARS (High Speed Champion Riho, Wonder Of Stardom Champion Arisa Hoshiki, Mayu Iwatani, &amp; Tam Nakano)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oedo Tai of course attacked before the bell and of course the two teams brawled to ringside and into the crowd. Sumire held Iwatani so Omukai could hit her with the placard. Kagetsu held Nakano and Omukai hit her with a kendo stick. And a shot for Hoshiki too. Oedo Tai began to isolate Nakano in the ring. Sumire essentially told the ref \u201cHey, look over there!\u201d so he did and she whipped Nakano. Crotch assault. Hayter in to work over Nakano.<\/p>\n<p>Hot tag to Riho at 6:00. She cleaned house. Kagetsu and Miyagi double-teamed to take control. Tag to Hoshiki. Iwatani tagged in for the first time at 9:40. Omukai tripped her and jumped in the ring to conduct a train against Iwatani in the corner. Northern lights suplex from Sumire for two. Top rope Frankensteiner from Iwatani. Step-off kick from Hoshiki. Codebreaker + German suplex combo from Nakano &amp; Iwatani but the rest of the heels broke up the pin. Cradle DDT from Sumire to Iwatani. Riho made the save. Omukai with the kendo stick to Iwatani. All four faces whipped into the center of the ring simultaneously. They rebounded with simultaneous dropkicks to clear the ring and four synchronized top rope splashes onto their opponents at ringside from each of the four corners. Iwatani whiffed Sumire on a moonsault but hit the dragon suplex for the pin.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Stars in 13:54.<\/p>\n<p>-Nakano thanked the crowd and thanked Riho for joining Stars. Riho asked if she joined? She didn\u2019t know yet but today was the first time she truly felt what Stardom is.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: A wild nine-person tag. I grew tired of matches like this when The Elite did one every couple weeks in ROH but we haven\u2019t had anything like this in a while here so it was pretty fun. I\u2019m guessing they\u2019re waiting until the <\/em>Grand Prix<em> is complete before Riho and Kamitani pledge their allegiances to any one faction. Let\u2019s be real, though.
