Talent from Actwresgirlz (AWG) abruptly left the promotion 3 days ago then showed up at the MARIGOLD press conference at the last minute to join forces with Rossy.
I don't know AWG so this will be new to me, but I can't help feel sorry for them after Rossy gutted their roster. Looks like Toru Okada may have been right about him after all.... 🤔
Well, it will be interesting to see how the domestic fans respond, whether they are cynical towards Rossy's tactics, or simply want to continue supporting joshi and/or the STARDOM/AWG alumni now under his purview.
STARDOM update - A Tokyo Sports article has named the wrestlers due to leave at the end of March with some rumoured to join Rossy Ogawa's new promotion:
Utami Hayashishita
Giulia
MIRAI
Mai Sakurai
Yuzuki
Yuzuki is a suprise since she has just started and was given a big push but this also explains why Mayu pretty much squashed her at yesterday's PPV too.
@gnitro Someone posted a video on Twitter of Yuzuki from before her debut saying she chose STARDOM because she wanted to be a wrestler synonymous with the company and as its representative.
I think the problem is - and this is with all Japanese promotions - that they don't know how to book outside of the main event pictures, leaving the undercard wrestlers to tread water in tag matches unless they have a title to defend.
This is one thing US promotions have over Japan, they can book programmes for a whole card and aren't afirad to leave people off a major show if necessary.
