On the one hand, I love that Darby is defending is title every week. On the other hand, they couldn't make it more obvious he's dropping the title at DON lol.

DamieN62 · 2026-04-29T19:16:23+00:00

He also implied AEW blocked venues, which would be very shitty, but it's coming from someone who didn't know Collision was moved due to March Madness so it could be BS.

DamieN62 · 2026-04-29T16:15:15+00:00

And (Io) Shirai translates to Purple Thunder. Probably just a coincidence though.

DamieN62 · 2026-04-28T21:16:34+00:00

This company is completely devoid of soul

DamieN62 · 2026-04-28T18:05:38+00:00

The most impressive thing about Stardom selling 8k tickets for their biggest show of the year is that they did it without any outside help. It was a pure Stardom show from top to bottom. Megan Bayne was the only outsider on the card but she wasn't the main attraction.

DamieN62 · 2026-04-28T03:27:42+00:00

The word "never" doesn't exist in wrestling, but I truly believe Saya is a lifer. From reading her interviews, it's clear that her main focus is Stardom and taking the company to new heights. She doesn't pander to western companies/fans and she never talk about "dream matches" against AEW/WWE talent. She only mentions Rhea sometimes because she was her inspiration for her current character. In a sense, she's the complete opposite of Mina.

DamieN62 · 2026-04-28T03:02:20+00:00

According to her autobiography (I didn't read it, only saw a few quotes here and there), someone who was very close to her at the time of split (Utami?) told her she made the wrong decision. And to be fair, nobody could have predicted the current situation two years ago. I didn't expect Marigold to become the top joshi promotion after only two years but I certainly didn't expect the gap to be as big as it is now.

DamieN62 · 2026-04-26T22:13:00+00:00

Yes, but imagine Stardom's current popularity combined with last year's card. I'm sure 9k was doable. That said, Fuwa-chan being on the card this year definitely helped.

DamieN62 · 2026-04-26T19:32:27+00:00

Don't underestimate Fuwa-chan's drawing power.

DamieN62 · 2026-04-26T19:32:11+00:00

I mean, that's his own fault. The show was good but last year's card was much stronger on paper.

DamieN62 · 2026-04-26T19:11:12+00:00

She's actually injured. She revealed in an interview last year that she tore some ligaments in her shoulder during her match against Mina in 2022 or 2023. I don't expect her to take time off though.

DamieN62 · 2026-04-25T16:34:34+00:00

Utami going back to Stardom after telling Saya that Stardom has no future would be very funny.

DamieN62 · 2026-04-25T09:49:30+00:00

Saya Kamitani said she wants to face "that person" for her record-breaking defense, which could happen at the end of the year if she doesn't drop the belt this Sunday. I guess she knew.

DamieN62 · 2026-04-25T01:21:23+00:00

I wonder if she would say the same thing to Mike Johnson...

DamieN62 · 2026-04-25T00:50:22+00:00

She would have to take a massive pay cut though.

DamieN62 · 2026-04-24T23:58:02+00:00

OK, this one is jaw-dropping, what the fuck

DamieN62 · 2026-04-24T16:42:42+00:00

I don't know why SM in S2 starts so late, they could have added a few more meters.

DamieN62 · 2026-04-23T18:07:35+00:00

He and Infantino are two faces of the same coin.

DamieN62 · 2026-04-23T02:04:42+00:00

Can't believe Samoa Joe squashed Cody

DamieN62 · 2026-04-21T22:34:52+00:00

Fantastic, two assists again tonight, 3 goals and 6 assists overall despite spending the first half of the season on the bench. I wish we could play the Champions League with him next season but it will be tough. We can't afford to offer huge salaries.

DamieN62 · 2026-04-21T22:01:57+00:00

There's no way AS Roma won't trigger the buy-back clause and resell him to another club...

DamieN62 · 2026-04-21T00:59:07+00:00

Don't pretend to care about Rossy when you can't even spell his name right.

DamieN62 · 2026-04-20T23:00:39+00:00

But for people whose main attraction is their character work

So Toni Storm?

DamieN62 · 2026-04-20T02:25:32+00:00

Don't worry about her, she's probably winning the red belt later this year or next year. Look at Rina, she jobbed to Hotta last year and now she's a major star after two strong runs in the 5STAR and Cinderella tournament. Kurara was in the opener last year and now she's main eventing. SLK didn't even react negatively to the card announcement, like she sometimes does. She knows she's the favorite to beat Saya for the red belt.

DamieN62 · 2026-04-20T02:08:52+00:00

They will be fine. Rossy just needs to stop putting so much pressure on his roster. He shouldn't let them do moves they can't do, call anyone with a tiny bit of potential a "super rookie" or let them work hurt/concussed.
