STARDOM announces card for Jan. 23 debut

STARDOM held a press conference yesterday to announce the full card for their Jan. 23 Shin-kiba 1st Ring show. Here's a video from Nikkan Sports that gives a timeline of their progress. It also shows some training footage. Remember they are all making their debuts. Most of them look like little kids to me. One of them is eight years old. BTW, they didn't announce an opponent for her. They are bringing over a wrestler named Iris from Mexico. She's 20 years old and has been a pro wrestler for a year. That's young for a luchadora. A lot of them are grizzled veterans. She was at the press conference and speaks briefly in the video. She is teaming with Nanae Takahashi against Natsuki*Taiyo and Yuzuki Aikawa. Of course they have to be very careful with the new Fuuka or the old Fuuka may have to come out of retirement. And what if Aikawa isn't a draw. Remember STARDOM is running every other week along with the Aikawa shows. It's ambitious when most of the wrestlers have no experience. I suspect they'll draw for a while and then fans will tire of it and it will taper off. Then what will they do? Enjoy the video.
