Stardom - New Years Stars 2020 (Day) (1/11/2020)


3. High Speed Grand Prix: Starlight Kid vs. Leyla Hirsch

This GP opener wasn’t the best first impression for a “high speed” tournament. It was a match of normal speed. I suppose “high speed” is just another word for “junior wrestler”. Leyla has potential. She moves well for her stature. I'd like to see her have a second tour.

4. Kagetsu vs. Giulia

Kagetsu and Giulia have judo and MMA experience respectively so the opening mat exchanges were interesting to watch. The match was gradually paced, but the work was well timed and arranged, building towards exciting exchanges of big moves in the end, with Giulia looking strong going the distance.

***1/4

5. STARS (Arisa Hoshiki, Saki Kashima, Tam Nakano & Saya Kamitani) vs. Tokyo Cyber Squad (DEATH Yama-san, Hana Kimura, Jungle Kyona & Konami)

I'm running out of ways to praise Stardom's multi-man tag matches (when they're good). Another fun, fast paced multi-tag main event.

***3/4
