DTC XIII - Triple Thunderbolt #1: Bleak Beginnings

Image
Well... so far, it has been quite an interesting time as I have now 3 people to keep tracking for now. Then again, it's more interesting than seeing a font called NTR on this blog site. I don't know what that means as a font, but since that Sneako and that ex-girlfriend accident, I haven't heard the end of it unless it's good reason. *cough* TNA *cough*  Credit: World Wonder Ring Stardom So today will be more of a Kikyo Furusawa focused episode for this since Akira Kurogane doesn't have any tournament bouts since her first match on the Opening Night. There are 3 tournaments matches Kikyo did in this one while Akira Kurogane did only one. The interesting part of this is the stories that can develop throughout these tournaments make it worth watching. No matter if you are at the top or someone who is at the bottom of the totem pole.  So it seems like both will have more a last place position, since it is their first 5★STAR which makes me worried about Ema Maishima and...

[ZERO x PAT x Knights Of C-Donia Production] Well... I didn't see that coming. With my most recent Dynamic Thunder Connection blog done, I have introduced Akira Kurogane as the newest member of the series for the duration of the 5★STAR. With that being the case, I fully expected to just dive into that.  However, STARDOM decided to do something that made me do impromptu stuff like a PPP TOKYO's Pole Dancing performances before their shows begin. Before I dive into this reign, I have to explain the context as to how the reign ended to giveaway for my post reign opinions.  However if I do miss anything, Pat and Uncle have to correct me more harder than Marge Simpson disciplining Homer Simpson at home. Also this reminds that The Simpsons has been going on for 38 seasons. That is impressive given how episodic that show is. How It Came To An End? On July 15th, STARDOM would do a livestream in promoting the 5STAR GP. It's one of those green screen ones, which they haven't done...

DTC XII: Crossed Paths To One Destination

The usual way I do these blogs is that I feature both wrestlers in the picture. However, due to many events in my life, I have been lacking in the Ring Of Honor and Stardom viewing department. So for this edition of Dynamic Thunder Connection, I am going to be doing all of the 5STAR GP Qualifying matches with the big number 5 between Ema Maishima and Kikyo Furusawa.  This was a mini tournament to determine the last 2 open spots in the 5STAR Grand Prix when the brackets were revealed back in June. The bracket for this was similar to the Rookie Of STARDOM tournament back in April. Ema Maishima and Akira Kurogane had buy-ins to the Playoff matches. Matoi Hamabe, Kikyo Furusawa, Anne Kanaya & Kiyoka Kotatsu would have first round matches.  July 4th & July 5th The Qualifiers kicked off in Imabari, Ehime on July 4th. This featured STARS' Matoi Hamabe taking on Itoh Respect Gundan's Kikyo Furusawa. This was 15 minutes as it is the time limit for all of the 5★STAR Grand Prix m...

The Wild Heart of The Owen

Usually I am here for a different reason. Sometimes I am just a water in a dry pool or a drowning fish in overflow of water. Wait a minute. What am I talking about again? Oh right, Hazuki. How could I forget? The Wild Heart of STARDOM has had an interesting year in terms of wrestling bouts for the Fukuoka native.  Credit: @SebastianLIVt on X/Twitter Either that or I am being very delusional given my terrible sleep schedule and eating patterns. With many things in my life, wrestling can be a buffet or a mixture of many things roll into a shitty burrito. In the case of Hazuki, its a mixture of both with many different cases. The Forever Spark Joshi World Champion and Former CMLL-Japan Women's Champion has done some incredible work over the past year. Even in 2026, I think people love her more than ever despite her current position in the totem poll is more or less in the midcard or higher in the tag team ranks.
