It’s tournament season in Japan, meaning that it’s time for 5STAR Grand Prix 2024. This year’s tournament is the most important in STARDOM’s history. Every year, the 5STAR Grand Prix serves as the best time of year in the promotion. The most important story has been told within it year after year, with last year being the story of Maika and Suzu Suzuki, which concluded at STARDOM Dream Queendom 2023. This year, it’s different.

STARDOM STARDOM THE CONVERSION June 22, 2024 Yoyogi National Stadium Tokyo, JapanWatch: PPV via @wwr_stardomSTARDOM is back on pay-per-view this weekend with STARDOM THE CONVERSION. It should be a noteworthy show, featuring the “Final Chapter” between Queen’s Quest and Oedo Tai. It’s been a weird year for STARDOM, but I’m looking at this show as a reset for the company in a way — for better or worse. Enough matches on this show should hit the level you’d expect from STARDOM, which is always nice.

This is the starting point for their new ace. This is episode one of the anime where the protagonist shows up and gets taken down a notch by a more talented veteran, think Shoyo and Kageyama from Haikyuu if you will.

STARDOM All Star Grand Queendom 2024 April 27th, 2024 Yokohama BUNTAI Yokohama, Kanagawa, JapanWATCH: PPV via @we_are_stardomWell, we’ve arrived at the biggest STARDOM show of the year — All Star Grand Queendom 2024, live from the Yokohama BUNTAI. There’s just one problem. It doesn’t feel like the biggest show of the year. And we’ve been in this mode for far too long when it comes to STARDOM. A lot has gone on with STARDOM over these last few months. There’s no doubt about that.
