Io Shirai vs. Mayu Iwatani

[10.0] "In my opinion, this is undoubtedly the best female rivalry in history. All of their matches are high quality, and there are several classics. Plus, the relationship between the two, with their team background, is incredible."

[10.0] "Shirai vs. Iwatani can only be described as PHENOMENAL! There's no trilogy of matches like theirs for the World Of STARDOM Championship + rest of their matches are also on a different level. The history between them is very beautiful and touching, their chemistry is off charts and i would even say one of the best in wrestling history - there will never be another Io and Mayu fighting for the love of the game. Since Iwatani joined Marigold there's a little chance we might get them one on one one more time in the future - i would give everything i have to experience their match once again but this time it wouldn't be Io Shirai vs. Mayu Iwatani but instead we would get clash of the century with IYO SKY and The Puroresu Icon. If you never saw any of their matches i HIGHLY recommend to watch them!"

[10.0] "The 2 best wrestlers ever. Unbelievable match after unbelievable match. The trilogy of matches for the world title are some of the best matches ever, and it being capped with Mayu finally getting it done was awesome."

[10.0] "This goes beyond Stardom. It's the best rivalry in women's wrestling history in my opinion. It's that legendary."

[10.0] "The greatest womens rivalry of all time. You have the 2 best wrestlers of this generation and all their matches are great to amazing."

[10.0] "Excellent rivalry. The trilogy of matches for the world title, surrounded by the great story of mentor/protegee, former best friends, arrogant ace Io vs rising star Mayu. With 3 excellent matches, the great run of Io as ace of stardom and the establishment of the new ace of the company, this rivalry is surely one of the best joshi rivalries ever. The 3 matches were compelling with the story told, and when Mayu finally beats Io, we knew the torched was passed."

[8.0] "Excellent rivalry, they had some truly great barn burners over the years. I can't fully speak to the underlying story between them but in the ring they did great always."

[10.0] "One of the best rivalries EVER. Incredible work of the best wrestlers of this generation, the way of this rivalry since Io betrays to Mayu was amazing and when Mayu wins the title was satisfaying."

[10.0] "The absolute best series of matches in STARDOM. Great story of Mayu growing into an ace. Each felt different."

[6.0] "First of I'm a big fan of both women and this isn't a knock on them. But I never got the love in with this feud, the matches were excellent but I always thought the build could have been so much more. That's why it isn't in that top feud bracket imo, it never felt personally enough for me. One of the reasons why the fan's never turned on Io, cause Rossy was afraid to go full in with Io as a heel, that's where it fell down for me. She should have been a nasty and viscous heel with Mayu, look at how Ciampa turned on Gargano now that's how you do it."

[10.0] "The most important and best rivalry in STARDOM's history. I don't think you can write a story of Mayu Iwatani's career without Io Shirai, but at the same time the opposite is also true - from faction PLANET and formation of Thunder Rock to the final Io Shirai match in STARDOM before her leave to WWE, they shared a lot of great moments together, as friends/teammates and as enemies/rivals."

[10.0] "One of my favorite confrontations ever. Mayu is strong, but her potential is too great for minor roles, which Io realizes. Realizes and betrays the girl, leaving her in the middle of the lake. After that, we see the gradual formation of Iwatani, who goes step by step to her peak and comes to the overthrow of Shirai, which she herself can't believe. This is not a story about knives in the back, but about self-sacrifice for good, when a wrestler refuses the company of a pleasant person so that this person can independently adapt and succeed. In some ways, the plot is the complete opposite of the story of Tsuruta and Tenryu, because there Jumbo kept Genichiro with him, so as not to let him grow and keep the top position, tried to seem like a friend. This is not the case here, and therefore the story becomes emotional and dramatic in its own way. My second favorite story in women's wrestling after Toyota and Kong."
