| 5 | 04.01.2020 | boymeetsworld | 9.0 | This show had special energy about it, but it had its problems - the start was delayed by ~30 minutes because the bottom rope was broken and it was never fixed, and Jim Valley on commentary tried his best to ruin the VOD experience, but the most important thing, the feeling of excitement, was there at all times and it overshadowed everything, because if pro-wrestling makes you feel good, then its fucking great. Jungle Kyona and Natsuko Tora got the crowd going in the opener, while their opponents were just there. And that was the theme of the show - all the guests tried to be 'too cool for school' (commentary included), but Stardom wrestlers created all the fun. Hana Kimura with her presence and Konami with her kicks made three-way fun, and nobody really cared about Britt Baker, Bobbi Tyler and Bea Priestley. I had no idea who Baker's tag team partner was - never heard about her before this match, never heard about her after. Hazuki/Dust didn't click and the broken ring didn't help either, which is very unfortunate. Watanabe/Hayashishita was a first-time-ever match, it was extremely simple, but the crowd really elevated the match and made it much better than what it actually was - it showed how much people were into the show. Main Event was my MOTN, Oedo Tai danced, Stars shined. The match was super exciting, everyone had their moments. Guardrails, in my opinion, really improved the match, making the action on the outside even more fun. I don't think Stardom shows in Japan will ever have them, but maybe one day. In the ring match flowed very well, and in the end Iwatani stood tall as the sole survivor. This show felt very important for every Stardom wrestler, and it translated, because I want to see another Wrestlemania Weekend show from Stardom. This show is not a 10 because of all the problems I've mentioned, but the feeling that this show created is the feeling that I want to have after watching a pro-wrestling show - I loved it, and I want more of it. |

| 7 | 27.05.2019 | arrancar | 5.0 | This was a disappointing show, even if there was the charm factor of this being a Stardom show in front of a western audience. The first 3 matches were all skippable and essentially just time-wasters. Kyona & Tora vs Strong & Violette was bad. The gaijin team suffered from the 'running underwater' illness, and thus Kyona and Tora didn't excel to their usual extent. **. The 3-way tag match was an okay spotfest. Priestly and Tyler stood out the most. It definitely felt like everyone was holding back though. **3/4. Hazuki vs Dust was the worst match on the show because they took an impressive wrestler like Hazuki and gave her only FIVE MINUTES with a relative nobody in Dust (who didn't have the most impressive offence either). Hazuki was okay at times, but mostly got nothing in return. **. Momo vs Utami got some surprising praise given how ultimately underwhelming it was, though I still consider it a pretty good match and my MOTN. Momo had her nice stiff kicks, Utami had her great-looking holds, and both women displayed some impactful power moves, but they didn't structure the match in a way that would build up a dramatic atmosphere. Instead the match constantly kept getting hyped up only to quickly deflate. It was a shame too, because we saw some sparks of a great match in the final few minutes. ***1/4. The Stars vs Oedo Tai match was pretty good as well. Everyone got time to shine and was allowed to produce some unique interactions through their various pairings. The match started with a unit-vs-unit focus, consisting of constant tags and run-ins, which I liked, but then things picked up as wrestlers started getting longer focus segments. Oedo Tai's group attacks were great. Stars' own group attacks weren't as impressive, but each individual member made up for that with their own flashy attacks. ***1/4. The wholesome post-show goodbye led by Mayu was great, but that didn't stop this show being mediocre overall. |

| 12 | 12.04.2019 | LatinoHeat93 | 6.0 | Der Opener war zum Vergessen Das 3 Way Match war OK, ohne zu glänzen Das Title March war für die Zeit solide, mit mehr Zeit wäre es sicher gut geworden Momo vs Utami war gut trz hat man da schon mehr von beiden gesehen als hier Der ME war mein MOTN Viel Action und schöne Spots dazu eine gute Heel face Dynamik Fazit: für Stardomverhältnisse keine gute Show hoffe im nächsten Jahr legen sie eine Schüppe Drauf und zeigen den Amis wie Richtiges Frauenwrestling aussieht |

| 14 | 10.04.2019 | sign squad | 3.0 | Der Opener war einfach furchtbar: unkoordiniertes Rumgestolper, unsauberes Wrestling von allen Beteiligten und mein Eindruck war, dass das alles sehr, sehr planlos aussah (1/4*). Three Way komplett unkoordiniert, richtig lahmes, fast teilnahmloses Brawling. War das Jet-Lag oder unvermögen? (3/4*). Titel Match besser, aber fern ab von irgendwelchen MOTYC Geschichten, wie sie im Matchguide auftauchen. Sehr langsam aber ohne Intensität oder Drama oder gar flott genug, um unterhaltsam zu wirken. Keine Ahnung, was Stardom hier tut oder warum der Anspruch heutzutage an Frauenwrestler so dermaßen niedrig ist. Ernsthaft, wenn das hier **** sein sollen, wie würden die Leute dennn heute ein Hasegawa vs. Yoshida Match bewerten? MIt sieben Sternen? Da stimmt irgendwas nicht mit der Wahrnehmung. vielleicht bei mir, aber irgendwie glaube ich da nicht dran, denn langsames, unschönes Wrestlling ohne Intensität kann ich denke ich noch erkennen. Hazuki vs Dust war auch eher nix, in fünf Minuten vorbei und halt unsauber. Und nicht unsauber wie Indy-Wrestling, sondern wie schlecht zwischen zwei Mädels, die das erste Match haben (*). Main Event hatte dann das, was ich in allen andern Matches vermisst habe: schnelle Aktionen, fast alles ordentlich und sauber und generell passierte hier was. Ordentliches Spotwrestling (**1/2). |

| 17 | 08.04.2019 | rykejamal | 8.0 | I thought this was great. Opted to give it a chance and I'm glad I did. All matches delivered and I didn't find anything I didn't like, maybe just the length of the High Speed title match. For a title with that name, the match wasn't as speedy as I would've liked, or I would have been ok with the shorter match length. Top matches include the three way tag match, the closing elimination match which was fun, as well as the Wonder of Stardom title match, which was very well done and showed that you can have a good wrestling match without the need for excessive drama. Thoroughly impressed with Stardom. Also, Oedo Tai's entrance was just fantastic. I'm not into that culture but that was impressive. Good stuff! |
| 18 | 07.04.2019 | TylerWhite | 7.0 | Gute Stardom Show am Mania Wochenende. Besonders gefallen hat mir mal englische Kommentatoren bei Stardom zu hören, die gerade für Leute, die sich gar nicht mit Stardom oder Joshi Wrestling auskennen, sehr viel erklärt haben. Das Opening Match war gut und natürlich gewinnen die Faces hier auch ziemlich schnell. Das zweite match ist ähnlich, doch mir gefällt es, dass in diesen Matches besonders viele internationale Wrestlerinnen beteiligt waren, die man sonst nicht so oft bei Stardom sieht. Es hatte etwas von Stardom vs the World und auch hier konnte Queen's Quest stellvertretend für Stardom gewinnen. Hazuki vs Dust ging ebenfalls in diese Richtung und war wirklich solide, aber vielleicht etwas zu kurz. Dennoch gewinnt hier natürlich Hazuki und verteidigt. Das Wonder of Stardom Match Momo Watanabe vs Utami Hayashishita war das MOTN und wieder ein echt starkes Titelmatch von Momo. Die beiden harmonieren sehr gut miteinander und die Matchstory funktionierte mit den beiden eigentlichen Partnern. Am Ende gewinnt Momo natürlich. Der ME war gut und ein schönes Elimination Tag Match, in dem nochmal alle großen Stars irgendwie auf die Card gebracht wurden mit Mayu, Tam Nakano, Kagetsu etc. das Match ist aber wirklich gut und bekommt auch ordentlich Zeit und hat ein Paar wirklich gute Spots. Mayu Iwatani, die wohl overste in den USA holt am Ende den Sieg für die Faces, ehe nochmal alle am Ende in den Ring kommen. Eine nette Show mit guten Matches, in der aber nicht wirklich viel passiert ist. Dennoch kann man sie sich anschauen und wird gut unterhalten. |

| 20 | 06.04.2019 | 20SaiDa19 | 7.0 | A very entertaining show overall. Momo vs Utami was great and the pair showed that you don't need multiple finisher kickouts to get a crowd invested in a match. The main event and three way tag matches were also a lot of fun, however Hazuki vs Dust would have benefited greatly from more time. Elsewhere, even though the broken bottom rope didn't affect the quality of the wrestling, it didn't help the show's presentation, although that was more the fault of the company that ran the same building earlier in the day. |
| 21 | 06.04.2019 | laldila | 8.0 | Had to leave before the main event but this was a fun show. The opening tag matches were good showcases, especially the three way tag which had some fun innovative pin spots. The big reason to watch is Momo vs Utami which got a standing ovation and lived up to the hype. Seeing them wrestle live made me an Utami fan and it's clear why Momo is the ace right now. She carries herself like a star. |
