It seemed like Shibusawa and Yoneyama were going to do well, but Konami and Mimura were the stronger team here. Mimura had a lot of the focus in this match, beating up on Shibusawa throughout a good portion of the bout. This was a fine opener for the night.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Xia Brookside<\/strong> (IPW:UK Women&#8217;s Champ) <strong>&amp; Kay Lee Ray vs Nicole Savoy<\/strong> (Shimmer Champ) <strong>&amp; Mari Apache<\/strong> (High Speed 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_69e752005ccf1','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_69e752005ccf1\" 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_69e752005ccf1\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Nicole Savoy forces Xia Brookside to submit to a Rings of Saturn<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 10:22<\/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 \/>\nVery good match. Brookside and Ray had a of of confidence, but Savoy and Apache had superior size and strength. Savoy and Apache worked well together and punished their opponents with suplexes and numerous submission holds. Brookside and Ray had moments where they put up a good fight, but overall the match felt like it was only a matter of time for them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Sumire Natsu<\/strong> w\/ Tam Nakano <strong>vs AZM vs Io Shirai<\/strong> (Artist of Stardom &amp; 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_69e752005cd47','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_69e752005cd47\" 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_69e752005cd47\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Sumire Natsu pins AZM after a fisherman DDT<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 11:38<\/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. Kris Wolf was &#8220;tired&#8221; so she wasn&#8217;t able to compete in what would have been a tag match, so Natsu had to face two members of Queen&#8217;s Quest alone. It was mostly fought with AZM and Io Shirai double-teaming Natsu, but after a while AZM decided she wanted to try to win. AZM and Shirai fought a little, but neither really seemed like they wanted to win by pinning or submitting the other. AZM looked good in this match, as did Shirai and Natsu. This was entertaining mostly because of the situation and how they handled it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 4<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Miranda &amp; Rachael Ellering vs Natsuko Tora &amp; Jungle Kyona<\/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_69e752005cd9b','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_69e752005cd9b\" 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_69e752005cd9b\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Rachael Ellering pins Natsuko Tora after a fallaway powerbomb<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 10:22<\/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 \/>\nPretty good match. Ellering and Miranda dominated large portions of this match, with Jungle Kyona managing to help her team mount some offense here and there. Towards the end of the match it felt like it dragged a little. When I expected it to pick up the pace it kind of stalled a little. The finish was fine, but it seemed underwhelming. Still, not a bad match, and definitely a good one for Ellering.<\/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=goddess-of-stardom-title-match\"><strong>Goddess of Stardom Title Match<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Momo Watanabe &amp; HZK<\/strong> (Artist of Stardom Champ) w\/ AZM, Io Shirai <strong>vs Hana Kimura &amp; Kagetsu<\/strong> (Goddess of Stardom Champs) w\/ Tam Nakano, Sumire Natsu<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_69e752005cdd5','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_69e752005cdd5\" 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_69e752005cdd5\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Kagetsu pins HZK after an Oedo Coaster <\/strong>(450 Splash); Oedo Tai retains the titles<br \/>\n<strong>Time: 16:20<\/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 \/>\nGreat match. It started off with Watanabe getting destroyed by the combined efforts of Oedo Tai. Oedo Tai cheated as much (and as blatantly) as they possibly could, using all four of their members to beat up Watanabe and HZK. Eventually AZM and Io Shirai helped even the odds, though they didn&#8217;t directly interfere in the match by attacking Kimura and Kagetsu.<\/p>\n<p>The second half of the match was a lot more evenly fought. HZK had a great sequence late in the match where she dominated Kagetsu with some devastating looking moves. The teamwork of Oedo Tai was the star of this match though. They looked fantastic from start to finish. It wasn&#8217;t necessarily a fair match, but it was certainly entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nI didn&#8217;t expect this show to be so good. I really enjoyed it from start to finish. Some matches were obviously better than others, but the top matches were very good. Even the lower matches were better than usual. The Tag Title match was great, and it got me even more excited about seeing Queen&#8217;s Quest and Oedo Tai battle with their full teams later this month.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Goddess of Stardom Title Match<\/strong><br \/>\nAt times chaotic, but always with the calculating teamwork of Oedo Tai as the driving force, this was a great match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>Official Results (Japanese):?<a href=\"http:\/\/wwr-stardom.com\/?result=2018%E5%B9%B41%E6%9C%885%E6%97%A5%E3%80%80new-year-stars2018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/wwr-stardom.com\/?result=2018%E5%B9%B41%E6%9C%885%E6%97%A5%E3%80%80new-year-stars2018<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Queen&#8217;s Quest challenges Oego Tai for the Goddess of Stardom Titles in a great main event to a very good Stardom show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3335,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[297,1367],"tags":[1410,1374,1418,1385,1370,1576,1501,1382,1376,1378,621,1380,1422,1372,1427,1383,1741,1800,1423,1470,1805,1804,1379,1798,1802,1490,1430,1801,1489,1739,1368,1803,1738,1541,1369,1740],"class_list":["post-3334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-show-results","category-stardom","tag-aichi-japan","tag-azm","tag-barb-sasaki","tag-daichi-murayama","tag-fuka","tag-goddess-of-stardom-title-match","tag-hana-kimura","tag-hiromi-mimura","tag-hzk","tag-io-shirai","tag-japan","tag-jungle-kyona","tag-kagetsu","tag-kaori-yoneyama","tag-kay-lee-ray","tag-konami","tag-mari-apache","tag-miranda","tag-momo-watanabe","tag-nagoya-aichi-japan","tag-nakamura-nagoya-aichi-japan","tag-nakamura-sports-center","tag-natsuko-tora","tag-new-year-stars-2018","tag-nicole-savoy","tag-oedo-tai","tag-queens-quest","tag-rachael-ellering","tag-rossy-ogawa","tag-shiki-shibusawa","tag-stardom","tag-sumire-natsu","tag-tam-nakano","tag-team-jungle","tag-world-wonder-ring-stardom","tag-xia-brookside"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3334","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=3334"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3334\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3338,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3334\/revisions\/3338"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
