We all don’t start off at the top; we have to build and destroy. Wrestling is a universe filled with different characters and sometimes, tough joshi wrestlers.
Suzu Suzuki is one of those special cases, like Rina Yamashita and even her former Prominence superior in Risa Sera. Suzu was a certified nutcase, taking every light tube to the head and thumbtack to the back as possible. She is special, and when you watch STARDOM you can see her float off the pages like a cartoon character.
In Ice Ribbon, Suzu debuted in their dojo around the age of 16. She enjoyed early team ups with Giulia and the aforementioned Risa Sera. Her loss total was bumped up after affairs against the legendary Command Bolshoi and Hiroyo Matsumoto.
A rookie is not defined by her losses. She is only defined by whether she quits or not, and for Suzu Suzuki quitting is not an option.
Suzuki lost most of her bouts in 2019. Looking to find a purpose, she got her first title shots for the ICEXInfinity and International Ribbon Tag Team Championships, and her loss in the semi-finals of the IW-19 Championship seemed to cement her rookie status.
But she was just getting started.
Her bouts against Maya Yukihi in the fall of 2020 earned her respect. Additionally, she earned her first championship with a German Suplex. They then formed an alliance, and while they lost tournaments and matches alike, they still retained a mutual respect. During her title reign, she defeated Tsukushi, Haruka Umesaki, Tae Honma, and Saori Anou. This reign continued as she teamed with Risa Sera to face off against Hiragi Kurumi and Mochi Miyagi. Suzu even started having deathmatches against the likes of Yuko Miyamoto, Takashi Sasaki, Masashi Takeda, Jun Kasai, Isami Kodaka, and Abdullah Kobayashi. Her facing these hardcore legends began her transition to her becoming a sort of “Deathmatch Queen.” of Ice Ribbon.
Suzu Suzuki’s ambitions were clear. She, along with Risa Sera, Akane Fujita, Mochi Miyagi, and Hiragi Kurumi, formed the deathmatch unit Prominence.
These five wanted deathmatches to feel important and noticed, and they made it their mission by running shows and exploring the world. Suzu herself had matches in DDT, WAVE, JUST TAP OUT, Grace Project, among others, but the one that had caught their eye the most was World Wonder Ring Stardom, because an old friend named Giulia was there.
Prominence took the stage and attacked the bigger Donna Del Mondo. Suzu was aiming for Giulia. Giulia and Suzu had big history. The two were very close; they were like sisters. When Giulia left Ice Ribbon, Suzu felt betrayed in a way.
Prominence chose a hardcore stipulation whenever given the chance, and they would win more often than not. In the Five Star Grand Prix, where she faced wrestlers like Momo Watanabe, Saya Kamitani and Hazuki, her toughest opponent was Giulia. Suzuki fought hard in her affairs, her efforts brought the match to a time limit draw and the rivals put their beef on hold. As Suzu continued her journey, she won the Artist of Stardom and the Triangle Derby with her Prominence teammates in Risa Sera and Hiragi Kurumi.
Suzu Suzuki and Giulia were back fighting as soon as Suzu ended up challenging for Giulia’s World of Stardom Championship.
The match was intense–crowd fighting, slapping, shouting. The whole shebang. These two have an almost familial connection that was severed by unfortunate circumstances.
Giulia and Suzu continued to also have hardcore matches with the two trading wins and losses, and Suzu had an unfortunate encounter with one Saori Anou where she and Prominence lost her Artist belts. She ventured off into Stardom on her own and she started teaming with one Mei Seira, formerly Mei Hoshizuki. They formed the duo Crazy Star.
Mei and Suzu had great chemistry together. They spent the better part of the year fighting teams and navigating the unit space as a duo.
Suzu also entered her second 5 Star Grand Prix in 2023. Ami Sourei, Natsuko Tora, Hazuki, Tam Nakano were all beaten by the toughness of Suzu Suzuki. Her willpower was just too strong.
This match showed off more of Suzuki and Starlight’s aerial offense. Suzu tried a German suplex off the top rope, and went for more dropkicks and fast-paced options, matching SLK, and gaining the upper hand with a slam off the top rope to win her block.
Heading into her match against Maika in the finals of the 5 Star, Suzu was a STARDOM mainstay. The fans rallied behind her and Maika equally. Suzu came out victorious and Suzu had to think of another plan, another way to achieve, another way to live. When Tam Nakano got injured, Maika took her place and her and Maika had another festive fight and this time Maika evened the score and won the World Of Stardom Championship.
Eventually, she teamed with Mei some more.
She and Suzuki made the finals of the Goddesses of Stardom Tag League. And while they lost that bout, they would later beat Saya Kamitani and Utami Hayashishita for the Goddesses Of Stardom Championship. They were successful in their endeavor and made for a pretty insane combo in the wrong. They faced off against the best teams Stardom had to offer: Prominence, STARS and Oedo Tai.
Starlight Kid beat her in the first round of the Cinderella Tournament. They both struck gold and saw a common interest. After that, SLK forged a big plan and their plan came into fruition after AZM and Miyu Amasaki lost their beloved Queen’s Quest. Together, Starlight Kid, AZM, Miyu Amasaki, Mei Seira and Suzu Suzuki, formed the new unit NeoGenesis.
All of the members are fairly young and popular with the STARDOM audience.
During 2024’s 5 Star Grand Prix, Suzuki defeated Saki Kashima, Thekla, and Ranna Yagami, while losing to Saya Kamitani and Risa Sera. Suzu put up a spectacular showing against Hanan. At first, they drew, but she was defeated by Hanan in a decision match which cost her the semi-finals.
Suzu has not lost a match since then. She has been on the road to claiming a World Of Stardom Championship. Suzu will face Kawaii Of The Cosmos Tam Nakano for her red belt, and whether Suzu wins or loses, she has definitely won over fans by going from the blood seeking invader to the rowdy fun loving commander. She’ll probably stay happy in NeoGenesis (As long as no TikTok dances are involved.)
