Cinderella Tournament 2022

[4.0] "It's not like this was a bad tournament, even if there was one thing I highly disliked, it was just very forgettable. I mean the format of the matches doesn't really allow for any crazy barnburners but I felt like they could've still done more since there were like only two good matches, which were Utami/Tam and Hazuki/Koguma, Hazuki had a pretty cool run btw. But aside from that, most matches were average or even below. On top of that, MIRAI winning is just so baffling to me, she is overpushed like crazy to me, so far she couldn't impress me with her Stardom run and this tournament was no exception, she didn't have a single interesting performance, she gets outshined by her opponents in each match and still wins the whole tournament, look I do hope that winning this tournament leads to something good for MIRAI."

[2.0] "I think this was the worst Cinderella Tournament ever - by far the weakest and least impactful tournament winner (which says a lot because Toni Storm's win was forgettable), the most memorable match went 17 (seventeen) seconds (yes, seconds) and very few noteworthy stories that can become something bigger in the future came out of it (another chapter of Iwatani/Kashima that went 17 seconds, Iwatani/Kohgo, Hazuki/Koguma, Hazuki/AZM, and maybe Syuri/Himeka). This tournament only exposed how many mid-carders with little to no momentum STARDOM has right now (they're all pretty much at the 'replaceable challenger of the month' level) and once again showed that wrestlers make tournament wins matter, not the other way around. Cinderella Tournament really needs a winner like Iwatani/Watanabe/Hoshiki next year."

[5.0] "I was always a hater of destroying the format of one-day format of Cinderella when wrestlers had to show all the endurance and ingenuity to win four matches in one day. But now all the matches are spread over several days in a way that suits the schedule, which just destroys the atmosphere. Matches are still the same short, although they take place on different days, which does not make sense. At the same time, at least half of them are still enjoyable, because wrestlers are that talented. Specifically, in this tournament, I also did not like the winner. For the second year in a row, the victory goes to the one who is not yet ready for this spot. And Mirai is sure to get better in a year or two, but right now she doesn't even have a completed character."
