Hanaan usually maintained control, but her sisters kept double-teaming when they needed to in order to keep the match going. Hanaan looked like she was about to win when the short time limit expired. This was a fine opener for the young girls. They&#8217;re showing some pretty good personality, especially Rina.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Ruaka &amp; Hetzza vs Dancing Stars<\/strong> (Starlight Kid &amp; Hiromi Mimura)<br \/>\n(referee: Barb Sasaki)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e6795d8a76c','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e6795d8a76c\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e6795d8a76c\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Hiromi Mimura pins Ruaka with the Endless Waltz <\/strong>(seated rollup)<br \/>\n<strong>Time: 7:29<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nI liked this one. There was a lot of back and forth with no real narrative to the action, but the pace was high and it was fun to watch. I think the best action took place between Ruaka and Starlight Kid, followed closely by the final sequence where Mimura and Ruaka traded pinning combinations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Three Way Battle<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Rebel vs Hana Kimura vs Natsuko Tora<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Daichi Murayama)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e6795d8a7a4','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e6795d8a7a4\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e6795d8a7a4\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Hana Kimura pins Natsuko Tora after a diving front dropkick<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 9:52<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match. Kimura was being her arrogant self in the beginning, so Rebel and Tora dumped her out of the ring and started this three way match on their own. They kept preventing Kimura from getting into the ring for a while, but she eventually made it back in. From there it seemed to gradually shift so the majority of the action was between Kimura and Tora. This made the match feel like a succession of one-on-ones rather than three-way action, but it was still entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 4<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Gabby Ortiz &amp; Shanna vs Konami &amp; Mayu Iwatani<\/strong> (Wonder of Stardom Champ)<br \/>\n(referee: Barb Sasaki)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e6795d8a7d6','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e6795d8a7d6\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e6795d8a7d6\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Konami pins Gabby Ortiz after a buzzsaw kick<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 9:31<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match. It started strong right away with Shanna exchanging moves with Iwatani in a very nice opening sequence. Konami and Ortiz followed that up with a sequence of their own, then the match started to work into a nice flow. This was Ortiz&#8217;s Stardom debut, and she looked good even if she did become a punching (and kicking) bag at times. Out of this match I&#8217;d like to see Shanna challenge Iwatani for the Wonder of Stardom Title at some point.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 5<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/?tag=artist-of-stardom-title-match\"><strong>Artist of Stardom Title Match<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Team Jungle<\/strong> (Kaori Yoneyama &amp; Jungle Kyona (Goddess of Stardom Champ) &amp; Hiroyo Matsumoto (Goddess of Stardom Champ, Oz Academy Openweight Champ, Sendai Girls World Champ)) <strong>vs Queen&#8217;s Quest<\/strong> (AZM &amp; HZK &amp; Io Shirai (World of Stardom Champ)) (Artist of Stardom Champs)<br \/>\n(referee: Daichi Murayama; title match official: Rossy Ogawa)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e6795d8a803','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e6795d8a803\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e6795d8a803\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Jungle Kyona pins AZM after a diving splash and Team Jungle becomes the new Artist of Stardom Champs<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 16:48<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match. This was a good main event and a nice title match. Everyone in the match contributed and helped make this match fun to watch. The newest member of Team Jungle, Kaori Yoneyama, had a surprisingly good sequence somewhere towards the middle of the match that felt like really helped turn the tide. Prior to that, Queen&#8217;s Quest seemed to be largely in control, with Io Shirai looked dominant as usual. Later in the match Jungle Kyona got isolated, but the teamwork of Team Jungle (and the power of Matsumoto in particular) helped the challengers immensely.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was a good show. I really liked the title match, it had Gabby Ortiz&#8217;s Stardom debut, and all the matches had something about them that set each one apart.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Artist of Stardom Title Match<\/strong><br \/>\nAll the matches on this show were entertaining, but this felt the most competitive. As it should. And I liked how there were little surprises in it such as Yoneyama&#8217;s strong performance and Io Shirai getting shut down at times by Team Jungle.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6>Official Results (Japanese):?<a href=\"http:\/\/wwr-stardom.com\/?result=2017%E5%B9%B46%E6%9C%8817%E6%97%A5%E3%80%80shining-stars2017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">http:\/\/wwr-stardom.com\/?result=2017%E5%B9%B46%E6%9C%8817%E6%97%A5%E3%80%80shining-stars2017<\/span><\/a><\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Queen&#8217;s Quest puts their Artist of Stardom Titles on the line against Team Jungle in a nice Stardom show which also featuring the Stardom debut of Women of Honor&#8217;s Gabby Ortiz!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2821,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[297,1367],"tags":[1386,1374,1418,1385,1553,1370,1496,1501,1499,1371,1538,1382,321,1376,1378,621,1380,1372,1383,1381,1550,1379,1430,1377,1539,1489,1416,1540,1368,1498,1500,1541,1369,1551,1552],"class_list":["post-2820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-show-results","category-stardom","tag-artist-of-stardom-title-match","tag-azm","tag-barb-sasaki","tag-daichi-murayama","tag-dancing-stars","tag-fuka","tag-gabby-ortiz","tag-hana-kimura","tag-hanan","tag-hetzza","tag-hina","tag-hiromi-mimura","tag-hiroyo-matsumoto","tag-hzk","tag-io-shirai","tag-japan","tag-jungle-kyona","tag-kaori-yoneyama","tag-konami","tag-mayu-iwatani","tag-naka-yokohama-japan","tag-natsuko-tora","tag-queens-quest","tag-rebel","tag-rina","tag-rossy-ogawa","tag-ruaka","tag-shanna","tag-stardom","tag-stardom-shining-stars-2017","tag-starlight-kid","tag-team-jungle","tag-world-wonder-ring-stardom","tag-yokohama-japan","tag-yokohama-radiant-hall"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2820"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2820\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2826,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2820\/revisions\/2826"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
