4 minutes 43 seconds |
Super Strong Stardom Machine |
Arisa Hoshiki will attempt to defend the white belt for the 11th time. If she succeeds here, she will overtake Io Shirai and jump to second place alone. She will be just two wins away from Momo Watanabe's record of 13 title defenses... Her challenger is Natsuko Tora of the Oedo Tai. After the retirement of Kagetsu, Tora received the jitte (a type of bludgeon) and was put in charge of the Oedo Tai. For that reason, she wants to bring the belt not only personally but also to her unit. Lately, Tora's fighting style has become even rougher. Can she break down Hoshiki's stronghold, or will Hoshiki achieve her comfortable 11th title defense !?
However, it was announced at the start of the show that Hoshiki would be absent due to a worsening neck injury, and Natsuko was chosenfirstmatch. The winner of the battle was Super Strong Stardom Machine. Natsuko was called into the ring by Super. Natsuko immediately sent Machine out of the ring and slammed him into the empty seats. She sprayed water in his face and made a comeback with ease. When Super returned, she gave him a facial wash. Natsuko hit a running lariat followed by a cannonball. Super countered the frog splash. After an exchange of chops, Natsuko landed a series of chops. Super countered with a chop of her own. Super climbed to the corner and dropped a missile kick. Natsuko countered, and for some reason Super did an Iidabashi. Natsuko hit a lariat and pinned him, but it was only a two count. Natsuko hit a Shouten, but deliberately pulled him up. Natsuko lifted him up and spun him around. She then slammed him down with a modified side buster, Marishiten, and got the three count over Super.
Natsuko's comment
--The cards were suddenly changed
"Yeah, we're human too, so of course there are good days and bad days for everyone, but we're professional wrestlers. We get ourselves in top condition on important days, come to the venue, and defend our titles. Isn't that what being a professional is all about? I can't believe it. The thought of someone like that holding the belt for so long makes me sick. Ugh."
—Do you intend to have another title match with Hoshiki as soon as possible?
"Of course. As I said in the ring, I'm a professional, so I'm always in top physical condition, and I have more than enough stamina to beat Arisa Hoshiki whenever she comes along. Don't lump me in with someone who has no guts like her, seriously. I'll come whenever she wants."
—How was your motivation?
"Of course, as it is, because of COVID, because of the disease, so many Stardom tournaments have been canceled, and so finally, finally, after a long time, people who are watching may be watching on YouTube, but they are finally able to see our pro wrestling, and I think the audience is even lower than ours, isn't it? With someone like that in charge. I don't think it's fun. He can't even properly defend his title. I don't know if it's his neck or whatever, but everyone is doing their best despite their pain points. What a spineless guy."
--And your opponent? Super Strong Stardom Machine, whom I defeated in a battle royal
"I mean, that guy is Iida, right? Iida. It's Iida Saya, isn't it? Everything he was doing was exactly like Iida Saya. But shouldn't he try to think a little more? He knows he can't win doing things the same way as always. Since he's wearing a mask, shouldn't he try something a little more creative?"

Kyoka: "My big match in my hometown of Nagoya was cancelled, so I had a lot of pent-up energy! I decided to unleash it all on Maika. And then there's Giulia! Giulia was like a lukewarm Limoncheru gameSoI'd like to fully experience that Italian flavor in a singles match next time."
Giulia: "Kimura Hana, who loved Giulia so much. Well, lately you don't seem interested in me, so I don't really care, and I mean, I don't have time to deal with you either. But since you picked a fight with me, you'd better be prepared, because I'll crush you someday. Well, whatever. Well, Jungle Kyoka is an unlucky woman, but I think she put up a pretty good fight against Maika, who's only been out for nine months. Once you taste me, you'll love me so much you won't be able to resist. Limoncheru, make sure you study the pronunciation properly. Arrivederci, see you later."

Bea Priestley and Jamie Hayter of Oedo Tai, who defeated the previous champions to capture the Goddesses of Stardom Championship, are facing their first title defense against former champions Momo Watanabe and Utami Hayashishita of Queen's Quest. This match is not only a title match, but also a grudge match, as Priestley betrayed Queen's Quest and joined Oedo Tai. For Momo and Utami, who were betrayed, the challenge is not only to reclaim the belts but also to get revenge..
The match started with Momo's team taking the initiative. Once outside the ring, the champions quickly gained the upper hand. They pinned Momo and ran around ringside, exchanging high-fives. The champions' dominance continued even after returning to the ring. Priestley captured Momo and threw Utami, who was waiting outside, out of the ring. With Utami isolated in their corner, they attacked alternately with quick tag work. Hayter body-slammed Momo, drove her into the corner, and stomped on her face.

The champions target Momo, but she dodges andboth ofthem. Momo attempts a diving Soumatou at Prestley, but it's not enough for a three count. Momo hits a high kick followed by a Peach Sunrise, but Hayter breaks it up at the last moment. Momo takes a Kamigoye-like knee and a back drop from Priestley. Priestley pulls Momo up and delivers another knee. Hayter hits Utami with a lariat. The champions sandwich Momo with a knee and a lariat. They hit her with a knee from behind and then go for the Queen's Landing. Momo is unable to kick out and the champions retain their title. Then Kamitani enters the ring.
Kamitani: "QQ's strongest tag team has lost. I'm disappointed. Utami, next time, let's team up and challenge for that belt."
Utami: "Kamitani, the current champion is really strong. Even if you and I teamed up and went after him, we might not be able to beat him. He's a really strong champion, so I can't easily say that we'll challenge again, but if Kamitani is really determined, then I would like to challenge for that Goddess belt again. Next challengers, me and Kamitani."
Prestley accepted
Utami: "You said you'd accept the challenge, right? Well, I lost today, but next time I'll challenge for that belt with QQ's big newcomer, future stardom wrestler Saya Kamitani, and we'll win it together. Please cheer us on!"

Kashima Saki |
The main event features a non-title clash between Mayu Iwatani and Saki Kashima. The match will be conducted in a lumberjack style, with seconds surrounding the ring and forcibly bringing back any wrestlers who go outside. However, the seconds are actually from STARS and Oedo Tai, who are waiting outside the ring. It is expected that if a wrestler from the opposing unit goes outside the ring, they will be attacked before being brought back in. Who will survive this no-escape battle...?
Immediately after Iwatani's call, Kashima attacked and the bell rang. Iwatani went for a soccer ball kick, but Kashima blocked it and slammed her into the ropes. Iwatani delivered a back kick and sent Kashima flying out of the ring. Kashima wasn't brought back in, but chased by her seconds, and returned to the ring on her own. After Kashima sent Iwatani out, despite it being a lumberjack match, no one tried to get her back in, and one unit started attacking the other. Kashima tied Iwatani to the ropes and attacked. Kashima slammed Iwatani into the exposed corner by Natsu. She then kicked Iwatani's left knee and locked her in a leg lock. She dropped her back into the ring with a dropkick, and a brawl ensued outside the ring. As usual, the seconds continued to attack without bringing the wrestlers back in. Oedo Tai attacked by putting buckets over people's heads. Natsuko attacked with an umbrella to the neck. Kashima joined in and struck with the corner post. It was Kashima, not the seconds, who brought Iwatani back into the ring. Iwatani sends Kashima out of the ring with a low dropkick, where STARS catches her and Iwatani attempts a plancha. However, Kashima dodges and hits Iwatani by mistake. Oedo Tai carries Iwatani into the empty stands. Iwatani attempts a plancha from the stairs, but Kashima hits her from behind with a chair. Kashima pushes Iwatani down, sending her tumbling all the way to the bottom. Kashima brings Iwatani back in and attempts a diving foot stomp from the corner. Iwatani dodges and slams her head into the corner. Iwatani attempts a running three and throws Kashima out of the ring. STARS brings Kashima back into the ring for the first time. Iwatani delivers a running dropkick, followed by a soccer ball kick and a slap. Kashima slaps Iwatani with both hands and slams her face into the mat. Iwatani takes her down with a big boot and goes for the cover, but it's only a two count. Iwatani attempts a dragon throw. Her thrust kick hits referee Murayama by mistake. Oedo Tai interferes and attacks Iwatani one after another. STARS also enters and attacks Kashima. Iwatani attempted a missile kick, but the referee was absent. Iwatani followed up with a frog splash and a moonsault press. STARS brought the referee into the ring for a count, but it was only a two-count. Iwatani declared she was going for the finish and took Kashima's back. Kashima countered and made a comeback. Iwatani hit a buzzsaw kick and then shouted "It's over!" before delivering a dragon. However, Natsuko pulled the referee's leg. Natsuko then struck with a chair from under the ring. The Oedo Tai tag team champions entered the ring but ended up hitting each other, and STARS broke it up. Iwatani delivered a thrust kick, a series of high kicks, a charged Tombstone Piledriver, and a moonsault press. This resulted in a three-count, giving Iwatani the victory
Iwatani: "Good evening everyone at Korakuen Hall! Thank you, Liger (in the commentary booth)! But, that's right, there are no people today. No people, I see...Um, then maybe this way. Good evening everyone on YouTube! Well, this time it's a no-audience match, and I never imagined we'd be having a match like this at Korakuen Hall, but today I really experienced this environment, this no-people experience, and it was interesting and refreshing, but I was the one who was betrayed by Kashima Saki, so I really wanted to have a unit vs. unit match between the betrayer and the betrayer in front of a packed audience, but as a result, I think there are more people watching than usual. Thank you so much for watching. I would be happy if you watched this broadcast and thought Stardom is interesting, and I would be happy if more people thought they wanted to come to a venue in the future. Um, today it's STARS! STARS, please come up. Today, due to unforeseen circumstances, Arisa Hoshiki, who was scheduled to compete in the semi-final, was unable to participate, so the match card had to be changed. Could each of you please share your thoughts on your matches?
Kid: "It was our first match without an audience, and it was a little sad to see all the seats in front of me when I stood in the ring like this. I really felt today that the fans' cheers give the wrestlers more energy to fight. I'm happy that so many people were able to watch, but I really hope that everyone will come to the venue and cheer us on. Thank you." Nakano:
"Were you lonely? Were you lonely? Well, even I could feel the energy radiating from the other side of the screen, and it was really encouraging!" : So we will do our best to deliver even more power to everyone on the other side of the screen, to everyone all over the world, to everyone in the universe, so please continue to support Stardom!
Hanan: I was watching from the corner, and it's really hard to be a second without cheers from behind, and I think it would be boring or lonely when the match is over, so I really felt the warmth of having the audience there. Thank you very much.
Iida: Today, my battle royal ended very quickly at the very beginning, and I really felt that Iida Saya is Iida Saya because of the audience. Yes, pro wrestling is more exciting with an audience, so I hope to see you at the venue. Thank you very much.
Iwatani: So, it turned out to be a bit like a press conference, but really, from now on, Stardom, the venue, once the virus is under control and it's possible to come and watch pro wrestling matches properly, please come to Stardom and enjoy pro wrestling. Thank you very much for today! Okay, let's wrap things up. I'd like everyone watching on screen to do our usual closing remarks. So, thank you for watching today. I'd like to conclude with: Believe in the present, shine tomorrow, We Are STARDOM! Thank you very much!
Iwatani's comment
"Today, I had a singles match against Saki Kashima, and since I'd lost to her twice in a row before, I really wanted to win today. When Saki Kashima returned, I never thought I'd betrayed by someone who had always been a STARS teammate and someone I was always with in my private life. I'm sure she was prepared to betray me, but I trusted her, and I wanted to grow together with her, and I wanted to win various belts together in the future, and I thought it was natural for her to be there, so I never imagined that we'd end up having a singles match in this kind of way." . This time, the match had to be held without spectators due to the coronavirus, but I was glad that the match could be held at all. Rather than the match being canceled, I was anxious about playing in this way with no spectators at all, and I was scared about whether it would be okay, but when I did it, it was really fun. Usually, I feel like I'm carried along by the cheers of the fans, but today I was at my own pace. I'm always at my own pace (laughs), but today I was more relaxed, or rather, I think I was tormented...or rather, I let myself be tormented...or rather, I was tormented...or so they say. I think STARS was actually at a disadvantage under the rules of the 'Berjack' match. They had the advantage in numbers, and I think they had the advantage in teamwork as well. However, I think they were outmatched in terms of how to use weapons, their cunning...the cunning feeling, and their power, but Iwatani Mayu cannot afford to lose here. She set the rules herself, so she can't lose here. I could have put the red belt on the line today, but rather than defending the red belt, I wanted to completely destroy her and win, so I didn't put it on the line this time. But, well, it hurt. Saki Kashima in Oedo Tai is more ferocious than Saki Kashima when she was in STARS. She was pretty scary. I'm annoyed, I hate her, but I thought she's grown a lot as an opponent. It was fun to do it. But while we were in the match, I couldn't imagine myself losing at all. I think I won easily. Anyway, I hope this coronavirus situation will be resolved soon so that as many people as possible can come and enjoy watching Stardom again. Is this being broadcast live on YouTube right now? Are you doing that!? I was totally off guard. Good evening everyone watching on YouTube! I'm sure there are some of you who are disappointed you couldn't come to the match today, but on the other hand, I think there are also some of you who weren't planning on coming to the match but decided to watch because Stardom was doing a live stream. Stardom had a lot of unconventional matches today, and I think they were all really intense, but I think Stardom is always amazing with the power and individuality of each unit, so if you watched this stream and liked it, let's wait for you at the next Korakuen Hall event (laughs). ...Let's wait. No way! It's because I hit my head on the stairs. Someone rolled around on the stairs and I hit my head. That's why I can't put my thoughts together, but I can usually speak properly. The damage is serious. Does a person ever roll around like that in their life? No, right? Imagine it. It hurts." --What did you want to show at your first ever no-audience event?
"I mean, everyone has their own personality, and I think the unit rivalries are interesting to watch, and each person has their own story. I hope you'll watch them grow together with us. When I debuted, I was called Ultraman, and I only had 3 minutes of stamina, and I was exhausted, but I went from that to becoming the red belt champion. Each person has their own way of life, their own life as a professional wrestler. Rather than saying that people should become fans by watching this, I think if you just come and watch without thinking about anything, you'll probably become a fan of someone. This is the first time we've done a live stream on YouTube, and I think everyone was worried about whether it would be okay, but I think there are probably people who are seeing Stardom for the very first time, so I think it was actually a good thing that we were able to do a live stream, a live stream without an audience."
Kashima's comments
"Damn it! I lost to Mayu Iwatani! Ah, damn it! I waited and waited and finally got to have a singles match, but it was like the memory of being beaten to a pulp in a lumberjack match I did in the past came back to me, and I got beaten to a pulp again today. The match format was different to usual because there were no spectators, so I felt an indescribable emotion, but once the match started, none of that mattered, and I poured out all the emotions I have today: the joy of being able to face Mayu Iwatani, the frustration of being next to her all this time but being unable to do anything, and so on. And after giving it all out, I lost, and this is the humiliation. She said this would be the last time, but if I have the chance to fight her again, I want to fight Mayu Iwatani as many times as it takes. And one day I will definitely take her down with my own hands."
