Sayaka Kurara

[10.0] "Kurara is undoubtedly Stardoms next ace. The way she sells her emotions is top tier, a trait only the best babyfaces in the world possess, and she is one of them. Her moveset continues to grow, and she has one of the best spears in the business. A favorite of mine since she debuted, incredible talent."

[8.0] "Like her a lot. A determined competitor, Kurara is very much solid in the ring(her spear looks great) and has that perfect underdog look. I hope they make her the main babyface of the company in a few years. She is missing a few things but I am sure she will work those out. Kurara displays a lot of emotion in her matches and I've enjoyed most of her tag team work with Sakura Aya. Easily a future World of Stardom Champion."

[8.0] "She has gotten so good so quickly. A really impressive resume for a rookie wrestler as well. Amazing spear!"

[8.0] "She's another one that gives me main protagonist vibes, for having little to no experience it's like she has a full understanding of how professional wrestling works. She's a damn good actress, she shows so much emotion in her matches. The fans are already behind her all she needs is some fine tuning with her in ring ability and she's going to be a star for sure"

[7.0] "Sayaka Kurara is a solid and reliable presence in the ring, but when it comes to stepping into the massive shoes left by Tam Nakano, she falls short of the mark. While Kurara brings a competent mix of technical skills and charisma, there is a certain spark, that ineffable quality, that Tam possessed which Sayaka has yet to capture. Her in-ring work is clean and effective, and she displays moments of genuine intensity. However, her overall presence lacks the magnetic pull that makes a wrestler truly stand out as a leader or centerpiece of a promotion. Kurara's style can feel somewhat safe and restrained, missing that creative edge that can elevate a performer from good to great. A 7.0 rating reflects a wrestler who is capable and dependable, but not quite the visionary or game-changer the role demands. Fans looking for a new Tam Nakano might be left wanting more from Sayaka Kurara's performances."

[5.0] "Honestly I think she's the less talented rookie from her class when compared to Victoria Yuzuki and Ranna Yagami. She's a solid worker in-ring but far away from being an outstanding prospect and all she has going for her right now is being this Tam Nakano project. She has potential though, if she can nail down some thngs in her game in the future."

[7.0] "She can thank Tam for the great character development she's seen thus far in her short career. And that's not a bad thing. Tam being so generous is nothing but great for Stardom & for Kurara. She has progressed a lot in her short time as a wrestler & that includes in the most important area: the storytelling. Excited to see how she continues to grow now that Tam is gone."

[9.0] "I may be grading on a curve here, but for someone with not only very little experience in the ring, but also very little experience even _watching wrestling_, it's amazing how well that Sayaka Kurara grasps the art of pro wrestling. Her moves are basic but crisp, but it's her selling and emotion that sets her apart from her peers. She always looks like she is fighting for her life, she always makes every moment in the ring feel important, and she always comes across desperate to find a way to win. Despite having never won a single match on her own power, the promotion still entrusted her with an important feud and PPV singles match with Saya Kamitani, one of the greatest purveyors of selling and emotion in joshi history. And Kurara not only held her own, she enhanced and solidified Kamitani's role as a fledgling heel, and they had one of my favorite matches that I've seen this year from anyone. This from a person that two years ago had never even _watched_ a professional wrestling match before! If she can expand her move set and stay healthy, she has the potential to become the face of STARDOM within five years time."

[9.0] "Name me one other wrestler you can convincingly give this high of a rating despite wrestling for less than a year.. Kurara is just so captivating and charming and understands the harder aspects of the theatrical side of pro wrestling most people who have been wrestling decades never grasp. Combine that with her improving every time we see her. (also she 100% carries Cosmic Angels as their best member)"

[7.0] "Sayaka Kurara is a good rookie. She doesnt have a lot of charisma or personality right now, but her in-ring is really good, especially considering her experience. She has a ton of potential"

[10.0] "I have high hopes for Sayaka Kurara ! She has no sporting background and yet she is the most interesting rookie in Stardom currently ! Thanks to her always fair ceiling, the empathy she provokes with her babyface side, the humor she has in promos or on the networks, her desire to always surpass herself even when she has no chance of victory, her in-ring which for someone without experience is totally honest and her SPEAR ! I strongly believe that over the years she will become a really good wrestler, and I even see her going for the white belt. The future will tell us but I believe in her !"

[7.0] "Sayaka has improved a lot already despite only being around for a bit more than half a year, and continues to show potential. In no way is she near 10/10 level, but giving her a 7 for now feels right. Excited for the future."

[10.0] "Without doubt, my favourite Stardom rookie. She has the potential to be a future ace, and is already brilliant in the role of underdog babyface, with her heart and passion on display every match. She improves leaps and bounds with every match, and her selling is top tier. And she already has the best Spear in the business!"

[7.0] "She's made incredible progress in just a few months, from an unimpressive rookie to a more confident and competent performer. She's got a lot of room to grow, especially in terms of in-ring personality, but I have no doubt she'll be bound for the higher end of the roster in time."

[10.0] "Kurara has a lot of heart and tries her best despite getting squashed in all her matches so far. She has a great spear and a ton of pain tolerance. I can see her making her place in Stardom. It doesn't hurt that she's so beautiful. Her biggest issue is that she's among the weakest rookies and she genuinely struggles in executing moves. She's the perfect baby face and I love her character arc. Her recent rivalry with Aya Sakura for entrance to cosmic angels is amazing. I don't think she'll win 1:1 against Aya but just like always Sayaka will do her best."

[7.0] "Kurara is super new to wrestling but already shows potential. She is unintentionally funny and already decent at wrestling. Every match she is in, it automatically becomes better and I pop for that spear every time. She still has a lot to prove but I think she will keep getting better and better."
