BITE-SIZE SHOW REPORT: Stardom Spring Vacation ~Hisai! Okinawa~ Night 1 (Thursday 20th March 2025)

Pre-Show Notes

• Ami Sohrei will be absent from all cards as she begins the process of recovering from ACL and meniscus tears in her knee. She will however join the Japanese commentary team.
• Xena has suffered a ligament injury in her knee, and will be out of action for an undisclosed period of time.
• Matoi Hamabe will be missing missing from upcoming shows due to injury; no timetable is currently available for Matoi’s return to the ring.
• After sustaining an ankle injury on the 2nd March in Chiba, Natsupoi will be off Stardom shows indefinitely. She will however join the Japanese commentary team.
• After defending her Wonder of Stardom Championship match against Konami during the Cinderella Tournament finals on March 15th – despite already being injured – Starlight Kid has been pulled from both Okinawa shows, with the special singles match between her and Saya Kamitani being altered to Kamitani vs. Sayaka Kurura in non-title action. She will however join the Japanese commentary team.
• Okinawa-native Anne Kanaya will make her Stardom debut at this show. She was introduced to the crowd at the Cinderella Tournament finals by Taro Okada, where it was also announced that her first opponent would be Yuna Mizumori.
• Attendance Note: The announced attendance inside Okinawa Convention Center was 541. Though there has been Stardom participation in the venue before – two matches on the Okinawa Fight Collection festival back in 2016 – this will be the first time the company have run sole-promoted shows in Okinawa. It appears that Okinawa Convention Center is not a venue that wrestling often runs at, with the likes of Dragongate and OZ Academy often running the smaller Naha Bunka Tenbuskan. All Japan have run the run the prefecture very infrequently, during over 1,000 people to the Okinawa Prefecture Budokan in 2024, a venue OZ Academy also ran in June 2024 – drawing 483. In fact, according to Cagematch the venue hasn’t been used for wrestling since the aforementioned Okinawa Fight Collection in 2016!

Show Notes

• The semi-main event saw Crazy Star continue to suffer from horrendous miscommunication, which led to Suzuki getting misted, hit with a Death Valley Bomb and a Freezer Bomb before succumbing to the pin. Post-match, Mei attempted to give Suzu an ice-pack, only for Suzuki to launch it back at her and storm from the ring. Seira responded by storming off in the other direction, with AZM going after Mei, and Miyu Amasaki going after Suzu.
• Following the culmination of the main event, Saya told Sayaka Kurura that she would crush her Cinderella dreams – referring to the wish she is still yet to use after winning the tournament – before coming face-to-face with Tam. Glaring at her, Saya said that the only person who will be retiring after All-Star Grand Queendom is going to be Tam.
