STARDOM “5-STAR Grand Prix 2021” results from Tokyo, Japan 🇯🇵 at Bellesalle Shiodome on 8/29/21 live on YouTube:

I’m not sure how long this show will be kept up to view on YouTube before it moves over to STARDOM World. It may have been a live only broadcast option. There is no commentary team.

AZM beat Hanan by arm bar submission in 9:00.

Momo Watanabe beat Mai Sakurai by submission with the chicken wing face lock in 8:31.

Fukigen Death pinned Himeka in 4:44 of a Red Block Match for 2 points. Bizarre finish as Himeka drove Death into the mat but Death popped right up and rolled Himeka up for the pin. Death has 2 points so far and Himeka has 0 in the tournament.

Future of STARDOM Champion Unagi Sayaka pinned Rina in 9:55 after her forward Gory Bomb finisher. STARDOM executive producer Rossy Ogawa was in the ring with the title for the championship match photo op before the match started. Rina attacked Sayaka before the bell. Sayaka ended up hugging her after the match. 

They announced the STARDOM offering matches yet to be announced for the New Japan shows on 9/4 and 9/5 at MetLife Dome will air on New Japan World. Their previous matches at New Japan shows were dark matches that aired on STARDOM World as VOD later.

Mayu Iwatani pinned Lady C after a Moonsault in 9:12. After the match, HAZUKI ran in the ring and got on the mic to speak to Iwatani in a big return angle. She retired from STARDOM on Dec. 24, 2019 but worked the Hana Kimura Memorial Show back on 5/23/21. I’m far from fluent in Japanese, but she told Iwatani she was back to inspire STARDOM. She then handed the mic to Iwatani and left the ring. Iwatani looked shocked and in deep thought to close the segment. 

Takumi Iroha pinned Maika after the Running Three  in a Blue Block Match in 13:45 for 2 points. Iroha has 2 points and Maika has 7 points in the tournament so far.

Skye Blue pinned Christi Jaynes with a bridging school girl cradle on the pre-show match.

May Valentine interviewed Melina on a set in the venue. Melina will challenge Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo later. She said she wished her father was there to see her. Then the feed crashed. 

After some technical difficulties, NWA Empowerrr executive producer Mickie James came out to the ring to open the ppv. She said this night wasn’t about her then started talking about getting told “no” in the past about having another all-women’s show (a reference to her time in WWE). She said the whole thing was about inspiring little girls. She will face Kylie Rae on the NWA 73rd Anniversary show tomorrow.

Diamanté won a 3-Way Match over Chik Tormenta and Kylie Rae by pinning Tormenta after her Code Red finisher, stealing the win from Rae with a distraction as Rae had Tormenta in the cross face submission.

Allysin Kay and Marti Belle beat Renee Michelle and Sahara 7 when Kay pinned Michelle after a double team pedigree finisher in a NWA Women’s Tag Team Titles Tournament semifinals match for the vacant titles. Non-stop action throughout with a mix of brawling and wrestling. 

KiLynn King and Red Velvet beat Miranda Gordy and Jazzy Yang (with Hollywood Haley J) in a NWA Women’s Tag Team Titles Tournament semifinals match when King pinned Yang after her Fallen Kingdom finisher causing Yang to land badly on her shoulder. 

May Valentine interviewed Kay and Belle backstage about the Women’s Tournament finals. Kay said she was the first person of the NWA modern era to hold the NWA Women’s Title and now could be the first to hold the returning tag titles in the modern era. Belle said she could be the first of Dominican Republic heritage to hold a legit recognized NWA Women’s Title.

Gail Kim came to the ring to cut a promo but was interrupted by Taryn Terrell, JennaCide, and Paola Mayfield (aka Blaze).Terrell is still doing a Beautiful People type gimmick in 2021. She said NWA is her territory and demanded Kim leave the ring. Kim refused so Terrell was going to send Blaze and JennaCide after her. Awesome Kong came out to back up Kim. She took out Blaze ant JennaCide as Terrell bailed out of the ring. As Kim yelled at the heels, Kong asked her to face her in the ring. Kong got on the mic and said she’s not much for words and it’s been a long year at her house. She said Gail Kim was the only person to get her off the couch to come back for anything. She said she loved Kim. Kim was crying and said she didn’t know what to say but she and Kong will always have a bound for life.

Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo beat Melina by trapped arm and half crab combo submission. They were given lots of time. Melina walked out with help from the referee but she was limping.

Madusa came out to do guest commentary. They said she will present the tag team titles to the winners of the tournament.

Allysin Kay and Marti Belle beat Red Velvet and KiLynn King in the NWA Worlds Women’s Tag Team Titles Tournament finals match to win the vacant titles when Belle pinned Velvet after an assisted AK-47 finisher. Madusa brought in the tag belts and congratulated them. King and Velvet looked like they were going to attack the new champions from behind but ended up congratulating them and showing respect.

NWA owner Billy Corgan politely walked near the broadcast table looking a member of the crew. He held “The Burke” under wraps in his hand which is the NWA Women’s Title last appearing in the NWA in 1954. He had  Kyle Davis (who is doing ring announcing for the title matches) read a statement from him to the crowd about the history of the title and Mildred Burke. The Burke was unwrapped and brought in the ring to show the crowd.

Tim Storm joined the announcers as guest color commentary. Nick Aldis, Thom Latimer, and Chris Adonis were watching in the Bush Beer VIP section of the crowd to cheer on Kamille.

NWA Worlds Women’s Champion Kamille pinned  Leyla Hirsch after a spear. This was a great showcase for both. Hirsch stood on the top of the ring post and gave Kamille a twisted suplex off the ropes. She then followed up and gave everything she had including several German Suplexes and a shining wizard. She locked in the arm bar a couple times but Kamille powered out. Hirsch kept coming at Kamille nonstop and finally got caught with the spear.

Kamille went over to the VIP area to celebrate with Latimer, Aldis, and Adonis and acted cool and relaxed about surviving Hirsch. Trevor Murdoch got close and started yelling at Aldis to hype their match tomorrow at NWA 73.

The Gauntlet Match main event is next. 10 women. Two start off with someone in every two minutes. Pin and submission rules. The winner faces Kamille for the title tomorrow at NWA 73rd Anniversary live on FITE at 8pm EST.

#5- JennaCide (with Taryn Terrell)

JennaCide pinned Carelli after a swinging slam for the first elimination.

The baby faces surrounded the ring while the heels stood on stage in the back. Mickie James, Gail Kim, Jazz, Madusa, and Awesome Kong applauded on stage. Green was given a trophy cup for the win.

This was a great show. Everyone worked their tails off. It wasn’t just the best American women’s ppv of all time (there hasn’t been many), it was the best NWA ppv so far under Billy Corgan ownership. It didn’t drag and all of the matches were good to great.

A few minutes before bell time, EVE owner Dann Read told the announcers that Skye Smitson hasn’t arrived to the building yet. He said if she doesn’t make it they will rearrange the card.

Dann Read welcomed the crowd. He said they lost one of their team during the pandemic. His name is Nick Lesslar. He was an EMT that looked after the crew. They gave a memorial tribute to him on the video wall.

Mercedez Blaze pinned Clementine after a spear off the second rope followed up by a rope hanging stunner.

Kasey set the chair up between the turnbuckles and whipped Jayne into it to knock her out of the ring to the floor. Back in the ring, Kasey gave Jayne a powerbomb off the ropes on the top points of  two set up chairs in the ring. She later brought out lemons and a bag of thumbtacks from under the ring. Jayne slammed her in the tacks and squeezed lemon juice on her back. They exchanged German Suplex into the tacks. Kasey sent Jayne face first into the tacks with a running double knee shot to the back of the head. Jayne powerbombed Kasey right in the tack pile. Jayne brought out a table from under the ring. Kasey recovered and hit the Killing Joke but did not go for a pin.

Eve International Champion Kasey pinned Emersyn Jayne after slamming her off the ropes into the table in the ring.

The announcers said Skye Smitson was stuck in traffic. The crew is cleaning up the ring. Dann Read said the next show is October 2 and it will stream live. He said Jetta might have a concussion after the attack by The Uprising and may not be in the Rumble. He said Smitson is late so the Rumble is next and The Gambler will be revealed whether Smitson makes it to the show or not at the end of the broadcast. This ends the free portion of the event.

Skye Smitson came out and started cussing at the crowd and about the company. The feed briefly cut out but when it came back on Charlie Morgan made a triumphant return from injury and was revealed as The Gambler.

Charlie Morgan pinned Skye Smitson after the Implant DDT. She looked glowing and refreshed in her return. She still is a daredevil and did a flop dive off a huge ladder on Smitson while brawling in the crowd. The baby face locker room came out to congratulate her. She cut a promo and said there’s only one Charlie Morgan and only one EVE. She thanked the crowd for coming back. She congratulated Jetta on winning the title. The two are a couple in real life. Jetta’s music played and Morgan put her up on her shoulder like Randy Savage and Elizabeth as fireworks went off.

The broadcast ended but there will be a meeting and greet and after party at the show for VIP Ticket Holders.

Renegade Wrestling Revolution has postponed their 8/27/21 “Too Hot To Handle” event in Texas City, Texas, not only because of Green pulling off the card for NWA Empowerrr,  but we were told today “a few other girls” who were booked are apparently also going to be at NWA Empowerrr. Those names weren’t given to us, but here was the scheduled women’s matches for  “Too Hot To Handle”: 

Chelsea Green vs. Raychell Rose

Diamanté vs. Rok-C

Jazmin Allure vs. Promise Braxton 

Vipress vs. Leila Grey 

Danni Bee vs. Mia Friday (originally planned as Danni Bee vs. Hollyhood Haley J)

Alejandra The Lion vs. Amber Rodriguez 

As far as the rest of the NWA Empowerrr show goes so far, the winner of tonight’s Leyla Hirsch vs. The Bunny match on AEW Dynamite will receive a title shot at NWA Worlds Women’s Champion Kamille at the pay-per-view. Unless there’s an upset, Hirsch is likely to go over because The Bunny has been in the roles of valet and glorified talent enhancement. The long vacant NWA Women’s Tag Team Titles will be decided in a match yet to be announced. Impact Knockouts Champion Deonna Purazzo will defend that title against a yet to be named challenger. Jamie Senegal (with Pollo Del Mar) and Tootie Lynn have also been announced for the show. Kylie Rae and JennaCide are also expected to be on it based on the event poster.

There are some people who are not happy with Mickey James’ involvement in the NWA now. She immediately made herself the face and top star of the NWA Women’s Division and NWA Empowerrr in her company debut after being released by WWE this year. She is the producer of Empowerrr but she is not scheduled to wrestle on the show. However, she will be in action the next night at NWA’s 73rd Anniversary pay-per-view event on FITE also in St. Louis against a yet to be named opponent. The feeling is that she’s overshadowing the rest of the women on camera and behind the scenes like her husband NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis has the reputation of doing in the men’s division. The running joke among some is “NWA actually stands for Nick’s Wrestling Alliance” and James is another authority figure version of Stephanie McMahon. NWA announcer Joe Galli worked as play by play announcer for some indie shows last month and he name dropped Mickey James and NWA Empowerrr countless times during the women’s matches of those shows even though James was not even at them. 

Alex Bliss’ Lilly Helping Out Chucky?

There is talk of the horror movie villain Chucky possibly popping up in some form on WWE Raw in the next couple of months to interact with Lilly, the demonic doll owned by Alex Bliss. The crossover appearance would be to promote the upcoming Chucky TV series. “Chucky” will be a SYFY channel show but the Season 1 premiere episode will air simulcast with sister network USA on 10/12/21 at 10pm EST.

Our sister website “Wrestling…. with Demons” was told that “Chucky” is finally scheduled to wrap up production next week. It’s being filmed in Toronto. Brad Dourif is once again the voice of Chucky. The show was delayed last year because of the virus pandemic. Commercials for the show have already been airing heavily during WWE Raw over the last few weeks as Syfy has high hopes for its success.

If Chucky does show up on Raw, it wouldn’t be the first time he’s done a crossover promotion in the world of pro wrestling. In 1998 he showed up on WCW Nitro to interrupt a Mean Gene Okerlund interview with Rick Steiner in the ring so he could plug “Bride of Chucky” released in theaters that year.

In other Lilly news, despite being panned by most pro wrestling critics, the character has been a hit for WWE Shop merchandise sales. The $30 plush replica of the doll sold out last month. It has been restocked as of this writing.
