Stardom 5★ Grand Prix 2021 (August 29, 2021)

Back in February my kid ended up watching that AEW Women’s Championship tournament deal they did with since she and I were both quarantined on account of possible COVID exposure since then she’s become something of a fan of joshi wrestling. We watch a lot of Gatoh Move because it’s cheap as free on YouTube and has some of the folks she knew from the AEW tournament and we watch Tokyo Joshi Pro because it’s got Yuka Sakazaki in it and she’s my kid’s favorite but this Stardom show showed up in my YouTube recommendations so she and I gave it a watch. Since this is something I watched with a small child and therefore spent way more time hooting and hollering than normal I’m going to forego most of the play by play stuff and just go with the broad strokes and then give my thoughts about it. Might get my daughter to comment on the matches too. Who knows?

Stardom No People Gate (March 8, 2020)

So how about that coronavirus? For those of us living in Asia, it’s been a pretty annoying few months that it seems like the rest of the world is on the cusp of getting to enjoy. Kids are out of school, basic things are sold out, and if you cough on the subway you’re going to get some dirty looks at best or catch a beating at worst. In addition, every event that could possibly draw a crowd is getting cancelled.
