With the big end of the year events coming up for a variety of joshi pro wrestling promotions, it’s always important to check in with each one to see what they are cooking up for those big shows. The first edition of “The Pyramid” was released at the end of May just a few days before the big Saori and Natsupoi produce show, but a lot of has changed since then. We’ve gotten a chance to see not only the best yearly joshi tournament the 5STAR Grand Prix, but we also just finished up the Goddesses Of Stardom Tag League with both leagues having a somewhat surprising winner in the end.

Since the last edition, we’ve also had four more wrestlers added to the fray with both Ema Maishima as well as Kikyo Furusawa make their debut for the company, along with Bozilla joining the company after leaving Marigold, and Bea Priestley making her return to STARDOM after being released from WWE. With those additions to the pyramid, we’re now up to 46 wrestlers, which adjusts the number of wrestlers on each tier other than the top of course. You may be surprised at where some of the wrestlers fall tier-wise, but you also have to understand that the STARDOM roster is absolutely LOADED with talent! Even the bottom tier has some pretty good wrestlers on it that would be at least middle of the pack in some of the other promotions.

There are many injuries that have plagued STARDOM this year, which makes putting some wrestlers into a tier a bit more difficult, but I try to do my best to show where in the pecking order I see them for when they do eventually come back. Keep in mind that this list isn’t put together with which wrestlers I personally like better than others, but instead what ranking I see them based on how STARDOM has booked them in the past and present, along with where I see them going in the future. It obviously won’t be the exact same way for everyone else, but that’s part of what makes stuff like this fun.

When I list the wrestlers, I will put their current overall position from 1 – 46 along with what position they were last time in parenthesis. With that said, let’s get down to business starting with the bottom tier!

SEVENTH TIER

46. Anne Kanaya (41) – Unfortunately for Anne, she’s been injured for most of the year after debuting in March of this year in her hometown of Okinawa. Anne showed flashes of really good high-speed skill for a rookie just starting her career, but all of this time off has cooled off a lot of the hype she gained from her debut, and for that reason she finds herself in the last position. With only eight matches under her belt so far, it will be interesting to see what new stuff she’s learned in her time away since she hasn’t had the ability to get her reps inside the ring against the fantastic STARDOM roster.

45. Matoi Hamabe (39) – Just like Anne Kanaya up above, Matoi Hamabe has been out of action for most of the year, bowing out with a knee injury in late January of this year. Matoi was a rookie who I had seen some good potential in after a bit of a rough start, but unfortunately, she only got 27 matches into her career before this major injury set her back. Anytime a wrestler has a major knee injury it’s always interesting to see how it might change the way they wrestle, but my hope is that Matoi has taken the time needed to not only get back to 100% but also build on her good technical skill that she was showing before the injury.

44. Kikyo Furusawa (NR) – While Kikyo may have just debuted right before the first edition of the pyramid was released, I chose not to include her because her and her fellow debutant Ema Maishima would have easily been the bottom two with only a match or two under their respective belts. While both of those wrestlers do find themselves pretty low on the list, they’ve both have put in great efforts during the first six months of their careers with Kikyo showing some really great technical ability in her matches. Sometimes a technical wrestler isn’t able to make the style all that exciting to watch, but the way that Kikyo gets into her signature kneebar for instance, always gets a bit of a pop from the crowd. If she’s able to continue using her technical abilities in a fun and creative way, matching her cool look, she’ll quickly rise up the ranks of the STARDOM Pyramid.

43. Ema Maishima (NR) – Much like Kikyo, Ema debuted in May of this year and is already showing some good potential as a future star of the high-speed division. It’s not every day that a wrestler debuts and right away decided to take to the skies, but Ema did just that. While she hasn’t been on the winning side of a lot of matches (just 7.5% as of this writing) she’s continuously showed toughness and determination in every match she’s been in. The rookie still hasn’t joined a faction yet, but she seems poised to join Neo Genesis considering her style of wrestling, her age, and the fact that her debut opponent was AZM. If she does join the faction, I think she’ll start putting together a few more wins which will help her move up the proverbial food chain in STARDOM.

42. Yuria Hime (42) – While Yuria has definitely taken some very good strides forward compared to the last Pyramid article I put together, she still finds herself in 42nd place, but at least this time, it’s not last! For me, Yuria just simply hasn’t been consistent enough to climb the ranks any more than this, at least at this time in her career. She added a few cool moves to her arsenal, including a “devil’s kiss” type of maneuver that she’s found a creative way to transition into. She had her first shot at the Future of Stardom championship earlier this year, and while she put on a good performance, she still lacked a bit of what I wanted to see from her against the very strong champion Hina. With Yuria being a part of STARS now, it will be interesting to see if she’s used as something more than simply a pin eater for the faction. Her teaming with Saya Iida is fun to watch, but her teaming with Momo Kohgo is basically an instant loss because of where the company sees Momo at this point in time.

41. Akira Kurogane (38) – Earlier in the year, I felt like Akira Kurogane had shown a lot of great potential with the mad dog look she’d give her opponents and the good technical skill she’d show, especially with her half-hatch suplex, but unfortunately, I feel she’s regressed a bit since then. While she’s still ranked higher than her classmate Yuria Hime, the valley between the two has shortened quite a bit, and while that’s not all Akira’s fault, it still shows that she’s been underachieving a bit. She joined a faction pretty early in her career, becoming a part of Mi Vida Loca, but so far, she’s literally just been the pin-eater, and someone they can use to give Bozilla tag match defeats. I want to see Akira not only add more moves to her repertoire but also show a little more personality within the ring so that her connection to the crowd grows as well. With two of Mi Vida Loca’s members not being on a lot of the shows, and the leader Suzu often being injured, it puts more pressure on someone like Akira to help carry the faction along with Bozilla.

40. Rian (40) – Pretty much from the start of Rian’s career, her arc was that of a loser. She was someone who was basically guaranteed to lose any singles match she had, and most of the time she’d be the reason that her team lost tag matches as well, but finally after putting in the effort to get better she’s started to put together some wins. Sure, she’s a ways away from winning the High Speed or Future of Stardom championship most likely, but she’s honestly become one of the more entertaining high-speed wrestlers on the current roster, which is a big step up from where she was just six months ago. With Maika coming back shortly to bolster the power of ExV, I will be looking for a possible trio of Maika, HANAKO and Rian to start winning some matches which will lead to an Artists of Stardom championship opportunity, because I think she’s ready for that kind of opportunity. Over the next six months, I think this plucky underdog will continue to use her charisma and in- ring skill to grow her fanbase, which means in a year’s time she may finally be ready to win some gold.

39. Kiyoka Kotatsu (37) – Kiyoka Kotatsu is an interesting wrestler to say the least. She has some really cool striking skills that can wow a crowd even at her very small size, but she still hasn’t quite figured out the psychology aspects of pro wrestling up until to this point. Part of the reason for that is the fact that she doesn’t work the entire schedule of shows that STARDOM puts on like most of the roster, so in turn she’s not getting the type of ring time she probably should. I was honestly looking for more from her when she debuted, but for me she’s been a bit of a disappointment. I still think she’d win a single match over everyone who’s below her on this list, but that’s not a very big list of competitors. Syuri was away for a few months earlier in this year to get surgery on her elbow which might have hurt Kiyoka’s development a bit since most of the wrestlers train within their factions. My hope is that she can learn what she needs to do, to become a productive member of the roster, and knockout some of her opponents with her cool looking lethal kicks.

38. Waka Tsukiyama (36) – I was honestly hoping that I’d be able to put Waka higher on the list considering the strides that she’s taken inside of the ring this year, but unfortunately, she still feels pretty low in the proverbial pecking order. Was she one half of the New Blood Tag Team champions? Sure, but I think we all know that a lot of that was being carried by the strong push of her partner HANAKO who happens to be bigger than everyone else on the roster. Still though, Waka has done a good job at toning down her comedy inside of the ring just a bit so that she’s able to show the world her actual pro wrestling skill. Her offense has become less butt focused, and recently she’s been better at using her psychology to make her matches more interesting to someone who may have wrote her off before. I’m not sure we’ll ever see Waka wearing a singles championship in STARDOM, but I think she’s worked her way into a nice lower midcard spot on the card where fans can enjoy her matches even if she’s on the losing end of a lot of them.

37. Momo Kohgo (33) – There are few wrestlers on the STARDOM roster who try as hard as Momo Kohgo does in the ring, and I think that’s part of what gives her good connection to a crowd. Her skills inside of the ring have improved over time, but she’s still not quite to the level that STARDOM wants to see to actually give her a substantial push. With Yuria Hime joining STARS, Momo isn’t the designated pin eater for the group anymore, but she’s still treated just barely stronger than a rookie with the way that the company books her. While I do truly believe that one day she’ll hold either the Artists of Stardom championship with two of her fellow stablemates or the High Speed title by herself, I fear that the time is still somewhat far away.

36. Ranna Yagami (34) – Ranna Yagami is one of the wrestlers that I personally think has truly taken a step forward in their career this year. While she had some cool strikes to begin her career, she’s added a lot more to her repertoire since then to become a better overall wrestler. Ranna’s work with Koguma over simply no wanting to do the “kuma dance” helped show just how far Ranna had come as a character. Still though I think there’s a bit missing for Ranna that is currently holding her back to this bottom tier. Sure, she’s at the top of this tier, but it’s still not where she’d want to be I would think. I do hope that Ranna continues to get bookings outside of STARDOM proper during this next year as well though, because I see those performances really helping Ranna, especially making it to the finals of the Catch The WAVE tournament that has lost a little bit of its luster over the years, but is still important in terms of the joshi pro wrestling scene.

SIXTH TIER

35. Fukigen Death (35) – The ageless wonder Kaori Yoneyama continues to play her role to perfection in STARDOM as an easy-to-beat comedy character that can instantly turn it on and beat just about anyone on the roster with a powerful roll up. While I can understand how some people may not love the Fukigen gimmick that Kaori does, I honestly still get a kick out of it, and find myself throwing up the devil horns with my fingers saying “deeeaaaaattttthhhhhhh” as she goes around to each side of the ring engaging the crowd. Fukigen also proves as a great test for younger wrestlers on the roster as you know you can trust her to lead them through a match, and while most of the time, they won’t be able to solve the clown well enough to pick up the win, it shows just how far they’ve come with their growth inside of the squared circle. Now that Fukigen has captured the Artists of Stardom championship with her fellow former TCS compadres Konami and Rina, she might get a bit more protected when it comes to getting beat, but it also wouldn’t surprise me at all if she’s the one getting pinned when the team eventually loses those titles.

34. Lady C (31) – Lady C once again finds herself in tier six, not because she hasn’t been putting in the work to move up the list, but more so because she’s been jumped by a few new additions to the list instead. Lady C’s issue for me is that she can be somewhat inconsistent. I feel like the skill is there, she has a great look being a tall wrestler and all but sometimes when I get excited for her upcoming matches, they just fall a bit short in my eyes. Maybe I’m expecting a bit too much at this point in her career, but with her being in the business since 2020, I feel like she should prove that she’s ready to take that next step, and not just in the tag division. I do think that being hitched to Ami Sourei will definitely help her career, and it may end up getting her one half of the Goddesses of Stardom championship, but I also hope that it will allow her to reach that next gear inside of the ring, that way, she can challenge for some of the singles belts without it being an obvious defense for the champion.

33. Miyu Amasaki (23) – If I’m not mistaken, I think that Miyu Amasaki is one of the biggest drops in this pyramid as I saw her being one of the top performers in the sixth tier last time, but this time I feel like some of her shine wore off. Earlier this year, I felt like Miyu Amasaki was truly asserting herself as one of the best rising stars in STARDOM, but at this point I’m having second thoughts. It’s possible that part of what excited me about her was the great tag matches she was having with her fellow Neo Genesis partners, and even though some people pointed out that all she did was DDTs, I still thought there was a lot more to her than that. After she had a disappointing showing in the 5STAR Grand Prix in my opinion and with her team, 02 Line, not even making it into the top 3 for her block for the tag league this year, I feel like she’s regressed instead of progressing. Not all is lost though because Miyu Amasaki is still young in both age and career. She can easily turn things around and if she does, I think that the company will really get behind her because she’s very marketable, that’s for sure!

32. Xena (20) – Honestly, it might be unfair to Xena because she’s been out of action since October of last year, but with the new additions to the company and the way that certain wrestlers have been booked, I feel like Xena’s position on the roster has decreased quite a bit. Last year, before her injury Xena was hitting on all cylinders, and had shown so much improvement both inside the ring, and with her character work as well! She truly felt like a good second in command for ExV with Mina out of the picture, however now, with how things have played out, I feel like HANAKO has taken that spot, which devalues Xena a little bit in the process. When Xena does come back though, I will be interested to see if her great athleticism is negatively affected by the injury that has now kept her out for over a year. If she can get back to 100% though and take her place back in the upper midcard scene of STARDOM, I do think that she could end up challenging for the red or white belt by the end of next year.

31. Itsuki Aoki (25) – Itsuki Aoki is a chaotic wrestler that I personally like, and I do feel like she’s perfect for Mi Vida Loca because of her wrestling style, along with her loud personality. Unfortunately, she isn’t used a whole lot in STARDOM at the moment because she’s busy doing her usual freelancing work, appearing in five different promotions since her last appearance on a STARDOM show. It also complicates things a little bit because she somewhat recently won the Regina Di WAVE Championship from Cohaku, meaning that she’ll need to be at least somewhat protected, especially since it’s the same championship that Saya Kamitani held until Cohaku knocked her off for it in August of this year. I still see Aoki being brought in from time to time for tag matches now that the tag league has ended, and I could very easily see her being an Artists of Stardom champion if they decide to put gold around her waist. For now, though, she’ll simply be a part-time player.

30. Saki Kashima (26) – The beloved comedic goblin known as Saki Kashima checks in at number 30 on this list showing that she’s been pushed at times, but not as far as she had been in the past. The big thing about Saki Kashima is that she can beat pretty much anyone on the roster at any given time with her very powerful pin the “Kishikaisei”. The unfortunate thing about Saki though, is that she’s battled injury or poor health for a lot of the year, which has put a stop to any push she may end up getting. You can tell from just looking at her that Saki Kashima doesn’t have a standard “wrestler’s body” considering how thin she is, and STARDOM even leans into it calling her a bean sprout more times than not, but it seems that the lack of meat on the bones might be one of the big factors of her getting injured so often. I felt like they were going somewhere with the booking of Saki and Syuri in the tag league this year, but once again Saki had to drop out because of poor health, meaning that their team, who should have been a part of the final day, had to give up their spot. Could the two of them have won the league? I honestly think so, but at this point we’ll never know for sure.

29. Azusa Inaba (22) – While Azusa has definitely dropped a bit since the last pyramid I did, I do think that she’s still in a good position to win a fair share of her matches on a STARDOM card. She’s still the Queen of JTO champion and the JTO Girls champion, which means that she has to be protected at least a little bit even if that company is much smaller in the grand scheme of things. In my opinion, she had a pretty good 5STAR Grand Prix when it comes to match quality and the amount of points she earned, plus she’s been a great part of H.A.T.E. when STARDOM has needed to use her as regular partner for their young star Rina. With Azusa recently turning 18 years old, it will be interesting to see if she’s booked any differently in both STARDOM and JTO because sometimes companies wait until a wrestler’s 18th birthday to really push them to the moon. I would love to see Azusa get more spotlight in STARDOM, but I fear that we may have to wait until her and her sister Tomoka end up signing in STARDOM full time for that to happen.

28. Hina (30) – Hina didn’t make a big jump up the rankings this time around, but in my opinion she’s one of the most improved wrestlers on the STARDOM roster this past year. Hina was always the somewhat forgotten sister of the judo trio from Tochigi, however I feel like changed a lot of minds on that this year with her very strong Future of Stardom Championship run where she consistently put on great performances against wrestlers much newer to the wrestling scene than her. Her somewhat stoic facial expressions as she tosses her opponents all over the ring really gives her a bit of an aura, and STARDOM should take advantage of that as they continue to move her up the card. If Hanan ends up winning one of the top two titles sometime in the next year or so, I could definitely see not only Rina, but also Hina challenging for that title during Hanan’s reign with it, as it is basic-but-good storytelling with these awesome sisters.

27. Yuna Mizumori (29) – While I definitely stand behind my words of Hina being one of the most improved, I have to also put Yunamon in that same category. The hard work she’s done to not only change her physique during her time in STARDOM but also grow so much inside of the ring during her tenure is something to truly applaud. For a good while, Yuna Mizumori felt like a bit of a sitting duck in Cosmic Angels, as people saw the likes of Tam, Saori and Natsupoi as the main event talents, all while seeing Sayaka Kurara and Aya Sakura as the big-time new stars for the company. Even though it felt like she was forgotten at times, it wasn’t by her own doing, and she’s done so much this year to make you pay attention to her if you weren’t already. Yuna’s hard-hitting, high-energy style is a sight to behold, and even though she hasn’t captured the High Speed title yet from Mei Seira, it feels like it’s only a matter of time. With that title around her waist, I will be watching closely to see how STARDOM chooses to push her at that point, but my hope is that it will give her some extra legitimacy that will help her move up the card quite a bit. Sure, this is the best women’s roster in all of wrestling, but can you really say that you wouldn’t believe in a possible Yuna Mizumori Wonder of Stardom title opportunity in the future?

26. Aya Sakura (24) – While Aya Sakura did fall a bit in this ranking, it’s not because of her putting in bad performances. Sure, I didn’t love her 5STAR personally other than one or two matches, but I think that was more of chemistry issue more than just her own talent getting in the way. Aya Sakura has a lot of potential to be a big star in STARDOM, and I think some of that was shown by the fact that they were willing to give her and Sayaka Kurara the big tag league win this year. I can tell you in all honesty that I definitely didn’t see it coming, because they just recently won the New Blood titles which hasn’t ever been seen as being a “strong” championship title to wear around your waist. That doesn’t mean that the prior champions weren’t good or anything, it’s more so the fact that the titles are normally only defended on New Blood shows, which are normally reserved for the newer talents in the industry. Giving the honor of the Goddesses of Tag League win to the New Blood champions is a bold move, but one that I think will be good for the future of the company as they build around talents like Aya Sakura or Sayaka Kurara. One thing about Aya though that I’d like to see more of is the type of venom she showed when she was feuding with Chi Chi from Pro-Wrestling Evolution. THAT is the Aya Sakura that I want to cheer for.

FIFTH TIER

25. Ruaka (27) – Ruaka is an interesting competitor in my eyes because a lot of what she does in the ring is based off of motivation I feel. When she’s fully invested and motivated, she can be a big-time powerhouse threat who can defeat most of the roster much like Natsuko Tora is, but when she’s not motivated, she can be somewhat forgettable. Ruaka is currently one half of the Goddesses of Stardom tag team champions with her BMI 2000 teammate Natsuko Tora, and the two of them made it all the way to the finals of the Goddesses of Stardom tag league, which is pretty strong booking to say the least! During the 5STAR this year her booking was interesting to say the least, but she still proved to be a strong competitor in her block even if she wasn’t truly a threat to win it. I’m still not sure if the company sees her a strong singles wrestler for the company in the future, but youth is still on her side, and I feel like over time she’s still been getting better so that’s really all you can ask for. When BMI 2000 won the tag team titles, I was wondering if it was going to be a short run where they just transition it to another team, but at this point, I think that they may end up holding those titles for at least a few more months with quite a few challengers waiting in the wings for their opportunity to challenge for them.

24. Tomoka Inaba (18) – It might be a bit unfair to see Tomoka as being a wrestler who has taken a step back, especially after getting a Wonder of Stardom Championship match born from her defeating the then-champion Starlight Kid in the 5STAR this year, but I still don’t feel like STARDOM is treating Tomoka like the star they should be. In my opinion, Tomoka Inaba is one of the best wrestlers on the STARDOM roster, however her loyalty to JTO is probably holding her back from being treated as such. She’s also still quite young, so there’s plenty of time to flip the proverbial script. For me, Tomoka is someone who can be a strong challenger for the Wonder and the World titles in STARDOM, while also being a good option for the IWGP Women’s championship as well because of her hard-hitting style of wrestling. While I feel like she may lack a little bit of star power when it comes to the way she promotes herself, all you have to do is show a quick video of her kicking the crap out of her opponents, and that aura grows. Much like her baby sister Azusa, I’m looking forward to the day when she works STARDOM full time, so that we can see her true potential without the company worrying about her other commitments to her actual home promotion. Maybe on the next edition of the pyramid, she’ll be even higher.

23. Koguma (17) – Koguma, everyone’s favorite little bear comes in on this list at number 23, and honestly there’s probably people who would argue she should be even lower, but to me, Koguma is just on a holding pattern at this point in time. Between her many appearances in other promotions alongside her tag team partner Hazuki, and the random tag matches she often gets in STARDOM, Koguma seems somewhat lost in the shuffle even though she’s one of the most talented wrestlers on the roster. It was interesting to see her and Hazuki work under hoods during the tag league this year after their short excursion in Mexico for CMLL, and while I think it was entertaining, I’m not sure it will be something that will truly give Koguma some traction in this company which makes me a bit sad. Koguma can do so much in both a comedic and a hard-hitting way, yet STARDOM doesn’t seem to believe in her all that much. Maybe it’s Koguma’s choice to be sort of on the outside looking in, but as a far I want to see more from her. If the company doesn’t decide to do more with her though, it would be fun to see her and Hazuki both leave STARDOM for a year or two and instead take over the rest of the joshi scene both in tag as well as in singles.

22. Sayaka Kurara (28) – While I can personally admit that I’m not the biggest fan of Sayaka Kurara as a wrestler, I can’t put her too far down on this list because the office of STARDOM is definitely behind her! Not only did she win the Cinderella tournament this year in a field with only young stars and rookies, but she also captured the Goddesses of Stardom tag league victory which is not something too many wrestlers have done in the same year in STARDOM’s history. Not only that, but she also challenged for the World of Stardom championship earlier this year as well, which is not a usual thing for someone so young into their career. Still though I think Sayaka Kurara has a really good connection with the fanbase, and her in ring abilities are getting better with each month as well. She’s adding more and more moves to her catalogue, while also getting much better at finding fun ways to deliver her Tokimeki Spear which is always great for a near fall even if it doesn’t put her opponent away. Even though her and her tag team partner Aya Sakura currently hold the New Blood Tag Team Championships, and they just won the tag league, I honestly don’t see them winning the Goddesses of Stardom championship from the team of BMI 2000. They want you to believe they have a chance based on the fact that they defeated them in the finals of the tag league, but I think that while they will put up a good fight, they aren’t quite ready to hold the tag championships.

21. Saya Iida (14) – While I was definitely riding high on the Saya Iida train earlier this year, I feel like that’s cooled down just a bit. Part of it might be because of her Wing-Gori tag team partner Hanan being injured for a decent amount of time now, but maybe that will be a good thing in the long run since Saya Iida seems to be in line for a possible Wonder of Stardom Championship opportunity after pinning Konami during the tag league. Iida is an interesting case of someone who definitely looks the part of a pro wrestler and has worked super hard on her in ring ability to make herself a bigger star, yet the company always seems to be hesitant to really push her in a singles capacity. Maybe they feel she doesn’t connect with the crowd as well as some of the “cuter” roster members since Iida is a lot more muscular than most of the roster, but I personally think that with her very short stature that she would get quite the groundswell of support if she worked her way into a red belt championship match against her fellow Saya, Saya Kamitani. Those two have been rivals since Saya Kamitani first started in the company, as Iida was always “giant” Saya and Kamitani was “tall” Saya respectively. I think if you let the two tell their story together, you’d get a great build to that eventual match, but STARDOM hasn’t been willing to try it yet. Maybe this possible Wonder of Stardom Championship opportunity could be a test run for Iida when it comes to her drawing potential and hopefully this will lead to even better things for her going forward.

20. HANAKO (32) – One of the biggest movers in this tier ranking is HANAKO who moves up twelve spots since the last one I put together. While I still don’t think HANAKO is a finished product in the ring when it comes to her storytelling ability, or the moves she uses, I think she is steadily getting better at least. Her booking in the 5STAR this year was very strong, definitely stronger than I expected as she picked up some big wins over game opponents. She also qualified first out of her block in the Goddesses of Stardom tag league with her tag team partner Megan Bayne, which is pretty impressive, especially when you keep in mind the fact that her team with Maika last year made it to the finals of last year’s tag league. Maybe HANAKO is a bit of a tag team specialist, or maybe the office is trying to really get behind HANAKO in a big way with her being one of the biggest members of the roster in sheer size. With her currently holding the Future of Stardom Championship, something she had been gunning for, for quite some time, it will be interesting to see how long they have her hold it, and who she eventually drops it to. I could see her being a pretty dominant champion, though it will be hard to follow up the likes of Rina and Hina who have both held that same title within the last few years.

19. Mei Seira (16) – Much like someone like Koguma, Mei Seira may be smaller in stature, but she’s incredibly talented to the level of being a legit contender for any championship in the company. The problem is that I don’t think STARDOM themselves see that in her future, which is quite a shame. I was in the building when Mei Seira took on Hazuki for the High Speed Championship at Crimson Nightmare, and to see Mei being more than willing to raise her intensity level to Hazuki’s which is not an easy feat to accomplish. Not only can Mei work at a fast pace which is great on the eyes, but for the most part least she performs her moves cleanly, with a lot of the moves looking quite sick in the best way possible. Unfortunately for Mei though, she’s in a faction that has fellow wrestlers who can work at a fast pace, and in the office’s eyes I think they see her as the bottom rung of that faction’s proverbial ladder. Is Mei Seira a much better pro wrestler than Miyu Amasaki? Definitely, but is she more marketable? That I’m not so sure of. Either way, I hope that soon Mei will be able to drop the High Speed title to Yuna Mizumori, so that she can hopefully move onto bigger and better things. I’d love to see Mei Seira skip out on going for the white or red belt first and instead go after the IWGP championship. I can imagine her and Syuri have an absolutely epic match, and even if she doesn’t win, I think she’ll come out of it looking even stronger than she was before.

18. Rina Yamashita (19) – Even though Rina Yamashita isn’t a full-time member of the STARDOM roster, instead preferring to stay on as a freelancer, she’s still treated pretty strongly when she appears in a STARDOM ring. The veteran not only works a very hard-hitting style, but she also looks the part of a dangerous opponent to face for any wrestler on the roster. I feel like the recent times I’ve seen her get into the ring with other main event level talents like Syuri for instance, there’s a feeling of “oh, now business is really picking up” that I feel but maybe that’s just me. A lot of people see Rina as just a deathmatch wrestler, but honestly, she’s so much more, and she’s one of the few on the roster who can truly be seen as a power wrestler while not being way bigger than a lot of the other girls on the roster. She’s currently holding the Choco Pro Super Asia Championship which might make her have to be a little protected, but in all honesty I’m not sure if Emi cares too much about what Rina’s doing in STARDOM compared to what she’s doing in Choco Pro. I would love to see more Mei Suruga from Choco Pro in STARDOM though, but that’s beside the point. All in all, I could honestly see Rina Yamashita being in contention for the red belt if they need a strong challenger as the “crazy girl” faction of Mi Vida Loca have been treated as threats to H.A.T.E. at times even though the heel faction does always have the numbers advantage in any match they are in.

17. Bea Priestley (NR) – This is the first time that Bea is appearing on the pyramid, and it will be interesting to see if she ends up being higher or lower the next time, she appears on it because I’m not for sure on where STARDOM sees her quite yet. She was treated like a big deal when she was brought in for the 5STAR as a special guest, and right away they treated her like she was a former World of Stardom champion which in my opinion is the right idea. She was kept strong during the league even allowing her to pin the current World of Stardom champion Saya Kamitani during round robin play. It was a big deal considering how strongly Kamitani was booked in the league up until that point. She bowed out of the 5STAR in the sudden death rounds but still had an opportunity at the red belt in her future for pinning the champion beforehand. The match she had with Kamitani for the World of Stardom title was a good one in my opinion, even if some may not have thought so at the time, and from there she has been seen as a strong member of STARS who is treated as the second or third best in the unit. Her run with Saya Iida in the tag league was a strong one as well even if they weren’t able to make it to the finals in the end. Over the next few months, I will be looking forward to seeing how they book Bea because if they keep her as a possible upper midcard or main event presence, I’ll probably have to move her up the list the next time I do one.

FOURTH TIER

16. AZM (12) – Maybe I’m giving AZM too much credit, but I truly think that not only is she one of the most talented members of the roster, but she is probably one of the closest wrestlers that you could compare to Io Shirai right now in STARDOM. AZM can blow just about anyone away in terms of the athleticism and speed, which should not be taken lightly. This year was also one of the strongest booked for AZM in terms of 5STAR Grand Prix as she made it all the way to the finals when she normally doesn’t even get out of the round robin stage. Did I truly believe that AZM was going to win it all as the league was playing out? Absolutely not, but with her amazing performances when the matches meant the most, she gained a ton of momentum that took her all the way to the end against her former stablemate and friend Momo Watanabe. If I was making this pyramid article right after the 5STAR AZM would have been much higher, but after she challenged for the World of Stardom Championship and left with the loss, I feel like she’s kind of been spinning her wheels much like she had been before the big grand prix. I understand that Starlight Kid is Bushiroad’s favorite between the two, however I think that they need to invest in AZM just as much as they have with Starlight Kid, so that they can unlock AZM’s true potential as a main event star for the company. Until then though, she’ll be middle of the pack on my tier list.

15. Natsuko Tora (15) – Natsuko Tora is still seen as the “big bad” in STARDOM because let’s face it, Saya Kamitani isn’t exactly an evil person deep down like they portray Natsuko to be. Natsuko is bigger and stronger than a lot of the roster, with quite a mean streak that is brought out when the time is right. She’s currently one half of the Goddesses of Stardom champions with her BMI 2000 partner Ruaka and to be honest I think that’s a great spot for her at the moment. Sure, not every Natsuko match hits for me personally, but in a promotion where they want a defined heel team like H.A.T.E. you need wrestlers like Natsuko to get wins over the fan favorites by using underhanded tactics even though she’s tough enough to probably beat them without it. I think they did really well this year in the 5STAR making Natsuko a bit of a monster early on in the league, which meant that any win over her truly meant something. They followed that up with allowing her and Ruaka as the tag team champions to almost run the entire league and tournament finale of the tag league this year to show how strong of a team they are, while also propping up the winners of the tournament Sakurara. With Saya Kamitani currently on top, and Konami even in a stronger position based on her wearing the white belt, I think Natsuko is still in a good position being an upper midcard monster that is hard to beat for a lot of the roster but is still beatable when you need her to take a fall the most.

14. Bozilla (NR) – If Bozilla was wrestling straight singles matches, she’d be a lot higher in this list, but since they continue to put her into tag team matches that involve Akira Kurogane she’s picked up quite a few losses in her STARDOM career thus far. I feel like the booking of Bozilla as a whole has been decent, but not great. They have made her feel pretty unbeatable in a singles capacity, but in turn the few people who have beaten her have either already been main event talents, or they went on to main event shortly after. One of the hardest things in pro wrestling is the book a giant long term, so I’m wondering what they will do with her after the first of the year, but after giving her a pretty good run in the tag league all leading to Natsuko beating her with under handed tactics, maybe we’ll finally see the faction feud I’ve been waiting for which is Mi Vida Loca vs H.A.T.E., something that would no doubt lead to some really fun hard hitting matches. If Bozilla intends to stick around in STARDOM for most of the next year as well, I could easily see her being worked into a singles title feud of some kind because other than her attempt at the New Japan Strong Championship that AZM held at the time, she hasn’t really had an opportunity. If STARDOM really wanted to make some noise, they could have Bozilla take the red or white belt for a half year run where the big stars of the company try to topple the monster, before finally, their chosen one is able to do it. Taro Okada likes booking things in an American style at times, so this might be a good way to do it.

13. Hazuki (11) – You know, as a big Hazuki mark, I’d love to be able to put her in the top ten showing that I really believe that STARDOM is going to give her something good to sink her teeth into, but unfortunately with the way this year has gone so far, I’m not too hopeful. On one side, I’m happy that Hazuki has gotten to work on so many shows for other promotions because it’s created matches I didn’t even know that I needed. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like when I watch the matches she’s had in Sendai Girls or Oz this year, that the crowd does react pretty strongly for both her and Koguma, so it shows that there’s star power there, but at the same time it feels like STARDOM just doesn’t see her as a possible main event star for their company which saddens me a bit. Hazuki and Koguma both made some waves down in Mexico when they went over for a couple of weeks, working quite a few matches while picking up fans along the way. That then turned into the two of them donning the masks to become new “rudo” characters for tag league to not only change things up a bit, but also allow them to not be as protected as they might have been as the standard FWC since they are one of the best tag teams in all of wrestling. Seeing Hazuki put over Mei Seira at Ota Ward for the High Speed title was an awesome moment, but I can’t help but feel like STARDOM needs to not only get Hazuki back into the Wonder of Stardom Championship contention but also have her win it before it’s all said and done. There’s been too much build up to not give a conclusion for us Hazuki fans around the world and having her take it from Starlight Kid would have been perfect considering what went down at the end of last year, but unfortunately injuries got in the way. Even if Hazuki decides to go fully freelance next year when contract season comes up, I still feel like she will have a lot of unfinished business left in the biggest women’s wrestling company in the world.

12. Natsupoi (10) – Natsupoi is an interesting case study when it comes to the way that STARDOM has decided to book her this year. There are times where they make it seem like she’s going to be the second coming of Tam after Tam was forced to retire, but yet they haven’t gone all the way with it. I’m personally not a Natsupoi guy, I can admit that, but I also can admit that she’s a pretty big star for this company, I’m just not sure that Bushiroad sees her in that kind of spotlight at this point in time. The fact that Natsupoi didn’t make it out of the group stages for the tag league when her and Saori were one of the most legit tag teams in the entire league, is pretty insane, but it also seems like they are trying to use that as a way to help tell her story for her big match at the end of the month, most likely, against her best friend, Sareee. The idea of bringing Natsupoi down to the breaking point and then bringing her back up with a rejuvenated light burning inside is a tale as old as time itself in the wrestling business, but it still works, so I think that once the story is finished, Natsupoit will be a much better place in the company. In ring I think she’s been fine, but I feel like I’ve also seen her get a bit sloppier, especially with her striking as she continues to adjust her wrestling style over time. Will Natsupoi ever become the true main event draw that this company needs her to be? It’s hard telling, but I do think that the office will give her ample opportunities to get there at least.

11. Suzu Suzuki (6) – While some could see it as a fall from grace, I see her falling down the rankings as more of a “what if” scenario. If Suzu Suzuki was healthy the entire year after the great start she had to it, she’d no doubt be top five on my list. If Suzu was fully healthy, I think she would not only be in a better place in the company, but her faction would be in a much better place as well. The company took a chance on her, giving her her own faction with a name that she obviously likes, considering the fact that she had it tattooed on her body before the idea even came around, yet the faction has sputtered out of the gate because two of their members are freelancers who are not always there, and the other two are either a rookie or a gaijin, which isn’t the best thing to draw in fans to a new unit. Every time the company has needed Suzu to come up big in a big match, she’s been reliable for them, but the rest of the time she’s either been injured or spinning her wheels which is not good enough for someone so talented. Obviously, we got pay off earlier this year for her and Mei Seira, but why hasn’t the other members of Neo Genesis gone after her in anger from her leaving? Why hasn’t Suzu who basically called H.A.T.E. fake evil people gone after them to show them what true evil looked like? There are many different stories they can tell with Suzu, but the company has decided to err on the side of caution instead by not giving her much to work with as they’ve been afraid, she’ll get injured or sick again. It’s honestly a shame, because Suzu can do so much more.

10. Ami Sourei (21) – Before Ami Sourei returned from injury, we had ideas that she’d be pushed pretty strongly, considering how she was being used before she went out with her injury, but we wouldn’t know for sure until she stepped foot inside of the ring again. She’s back and she’s back with a vengeance. While she hasn’t been pushed as strongly as I kind of expected, she still been a focal part of a lot of big matches and underlying stories ever since her return which has been a breath of fresh air for the company. Is Ami Sourei the best wrestler on the roster, no, but she’s a good strong power wrestler who seems to be able to connect with the fans quite well and honestly that second part is what matters most. Ami had a really good 5STAR in my opinion, and before the league started I had honestly picked her to go all the way to the finals, but even with her bowing out a bit earlier, I think she showed that she’s a big-time player for the company. Her tag team with Lady C has been treated pretty strongly booking wise with the two of them finally getting a title opportunity in October against the champions Natsuko Tora and Ruaka. While they weren’t successful in their bid for the titles, it was another notch on Ami’s belt as her momentum continues to climb. Now with an opportunity at the Wonder of Stardom Championship possible, it will be interesting to see if they pull the trigger to give her the big match at the end of the year, and quite possibly put the beloved white belt on her. It wouldn’t surprise me to see her win it, but it’s also not a guarantee.

THIRD TIER

9. Rina (7) – While Rina may have fell down a few spots from the last time, it’s not because she’s been wrestling bad or anything like that, it’s simply because others have been positioned above her. Rina is still young, being only 18 years young, but her performance during the 5STAR Grand Prix this year was something special! In my opinion, she was the absolute M.V.P. of the league, which is saying something considering how much talent was in it, including a possible overall joshi wrestling M.V.P., Sareee being in it. Not only is Rina able to make you feel for her as a fan who’s watching on a screen, but her playful, yet bratty attitude inside of the ring makes her beloved even by people who don’t normally cheer for the “bad guys”. The more and more she gets closer to her final form as a wrestler, the more she becomes almost a splitting image of Hana Kimura, which really means something to me as a Hana fan. Not only does Rina get it done in between the ropes, but she also does a great job delivering good promos when it’s her time to talk in person, or on social media, which is a skill not every wrestler on the roster has. Her run in the tag league was a little underwhelming as she was attached to Konami who was dropping matches like it was going out of style, but Rina still feels poised to become a main event player whenever they need her to. Right now, she’s currently one third of the Artists of Stardom champions with Konami and Fukigen Death, two wrestlers she was with in the faction TCS back in the day, but I don’t see that reign running for all that long since the trios titles are normally forgotten about by the booking team of STARDOM. Once she drops that, I think a decision should be made within in the early part of next year for Rina to possible move on from H.A.T.E. and walk her own path with a unit of her own. It should be one that has some of the same magic that Tokyo Cyber Squad had in the past. I’m not saying they need to copy it completely, but I think Rina could provide a lot of the same leadership qualities and fun with attitude that Hana used to give us years ago.

8. Saori Anou (8) – With a big World of Stardom Championship match coming up at the end of the month, you’d think that Saori Anou would be a bit higher up on the list, but instead she’s basically where she was last time because in all honesty it doesn’t seem like she truly has much of a chance of winning that match. Saori Anou is someone who I think STARDOM should use a bit more strongly, but much like her partner Natsupoi the company seems to stop and start with her a bit too much. For one story she’ll be this absolute monstrous ice queen who can put anyone away with her many different finishing moves, and other times she’s a mopey wrestler who doesn’t believe in herself. It’s really two very opposite sides of the spectrum and while I think she’s good enough to handle it, I think the booking leaves the fans often wondering why she’s being put into those types of stories in the first place. While a lot of people probably see Natsupoi as the leader of Cosmic Angels after Tam left, I personally feel like Saori is much better in that role as a strong leader with a rigid outside, but a soft inside when it comes to stablemates. She truly feels like someone who can speak for the group, and not back down in the face of evil, especially since she’s gone through so much of that in OZ Academy, but I feel like a lot of times STARDOM acts like that simply isn’t cannon. I don’t believe that she will be able to defeat Saya, but if she does, I’ll eat my words. I instead feel like she’ll need to embrace the dark side a bit herself to truly get to that next level needed to capture the World of Stardom title, but I also think that will be a story that they will need quite a bit of time to tell, so it may not be that soon unfortunately.

7. Konami (13) – Alright, I’ll come out and say it right away, I feel like Konami is a bit of a paper tiger when it comes to this list, but I have to show love when it’s due and right now Konami has two championships with one of them being the second most important in the company. Konami put on one of her best performances in her first match of the 5STAR which we shouldn’t be too surprised by since she was taking on Sareee who will pull everything out of you when you step into a ring with her. Still though, it reminded us of how much of a killer Konami can be inside of the squared circle, and we were reminded again when she beat the top loveable babyface Starlight Kid at Crimson Nightmare. While I don’t think Konami’s time with the belt has been bad so far, they’ve made it known that she’s beatable which is not something they did too much with Starlight Kid during her long reign. Almost right away in the tag league Konami dropped a couple of matches with her taking the fall against both Ami Sourei and Saya Iida which has led to the two of them fighting it out over a chance at the white belt at the end of the month. Sure, it’s simple storytelling that happens a lot of times in pro wrestling, but even before tag league, Konami has basically been booked as a midcard threat, and that’s about it until she won the Wonder of Stardom Championship in early November. It kind of makes you wonder. Will she be simply a transitional champion or will Taro Okada decide to surprise a lot of us by giving her a decent sized reign with the title considering how long it had taken her to capture it in the first place. To do that though, I think they need to let Konami beat up and torture more of the roster without feeling the need to use that spray paint so often to win her matches. It feels like a crutch when in reality, she doesn’t need it.

6. Momo Watanabe (9) – After surprising everyone and capturing the 5STAR Grand Prix, something that most fans had hoped she’d do one day, but believed was impossible, Momo Watanabe was set up for the big match against the biggest star in the company Saya Kamitani. There was a lot of excitement around the match because we knew that bell to bell it would be well wrestled, but we also were holding out hope that we’d get more story from it. Unfortunately for us, that wasn’t the case and after being beaten by the champion, Momo simply said that she needed to go away to heal some injuries along with mentioning that there were no hard feelings between her and the superstar known as Saya Kamitani. Every time us fans start to believe that Momo Watanabe is going to be stuck in the midcard forever, she puts on a performance of the year caliber match, and we’re reminded that she’s one of the best wrestlers in the world, yet we’re also reminded that she’s doing all of that work just to lose when it matters most. I had hoped that she’d end up leaving H.A.T.E. to do her own thing, maybe even joining up with Hazuki and Koguma to either make a new faction, or be factionless together, but instead Taro felt like Momo is simply too good at being a heel, and that she needed to stay in the group. It’s kind of a gift and a curse for Momo because she’s so good at being mean to her opponents that it makes the STARDOM brass feel like that’s the best place for her, yet I think she could be every bit as big of a star as Maika for instance if they just let her be the badass she is. When she returns from injury it will be interesting to see what happens, but more so than anything, I just hope she’s treated as the main eventer she should be.

5. Hanan (5) – Even though Hanan didn’t have an overly strong 5STAR and she missed the tag league due to injury, she’s still pegged as a future superstar on the babyface side of things for STARDOM going forward. Not only has she been mentioned a few times by Saya Kamitani as someone who is up and coming in the company, but Hanan was the choice to participate in that singles match against Saya Kamitani on network TV, something that hadn’t been done by two joshi performers for a long time before that. Being chosen for something as big as that shows how important the office sees her for their future, and while I don’t think in the ring she’s quite ready for a push that strong, she’s still very young, so she has the ability to grow still in that aspect. With her being out now with an injury, it makes me wonder if STARDOM will hold her out even longer than needed to make sure that they pick a perfect way to re-debut her, or to allow the fans to miss her a bit more since she’s been away for a bit. I think having Ami and Maika away for so long, really allowed the fans to want them back even more, so maybe that same thing will happen for Hanan who will need that groundswell of support to live up to what the company wants from her as the leader of their biggest babyface unit STARS. I think a lot of people see Hanan’s next step as winning the white belt, but I would definitely not discount the idea of her taking the red belt instead from Kamitani if the story can be built as strongly as it needs to be. As a side note just for me, can we get more Hanan and Mei Seira singles so they can beat the crap out of each other, because that kind of intensity is special!

SECOND TIER

4. Starlight Kid (2) – Last time on the pyramid, Starlight Kid was an easy competitor to put at number two in the company, only behind it’s biggest star Saya Kamitani because of the great work she was doing as the Wonder of Stardom champion. No matter who she faced, she’d either match them, or bring them up to a fantastic match with good storytelling that could really generate the kind of crowd reaction they needed. That’s not something that every wrestler on the roster can do, and I feel like Starlight Kid proved that she could be one of the biggest stars for the promotion when they are willing to give her that chance. Even though she didn’t make it through the group stages in the 5STAR her matches were still some of the best in the league, and the ongoing story of her doing whatever she could at the end of league play to try to get into the playoffs was something that made me pay close attention. Then from there, she hyped up each and every match she had for the title, even being willing to bleed for it, though that might not have been her choice in the matter. By the end of her reign with the white belt, she had given her all to STARDOM and the championship itself, so now she finds herself on the mend with an injury. When she comes back, it will be a big deal with the company only if they continue to book her just as strongly. She doesn’t have to have a title to make a story worth it, you just need to give her a person or two to work with, and she’ll make something interesting happen, we’ve seen it plenty of times already. When it comes to making a story out of just about anything, Starlight Kid is probably the closest we have to Tam Nakano, and considering how boring the booking gets at times, storywise at least, we should appreciate what SLK gives us.

3. Syuri (3) – What can I say about Syuri other than she’s the most legit pro wrestler in the joshi scene, especially with her combat sports background. Sure, someone like Chihiro Hashimoto has the amateur wrestling ability to dump just about anyone on their head, but in an actual fight, it would be quite interesting to see if Syuri’s striking and submission skills could out do Big Hash’s wrestling skill, along with her power. That’s beside the point though, still, Syuri can be used as a measuring stick for every other wrestler on the roster, and that’s something we have to appreciate. Now that she’s recaptured the IWGP Championship from Sareee in a great match, we get to see what Syuri can do with a major title again in STARDOM, and with her taking on Saya Kamitani for that title at the Tokyo Dome for Wrestle Kingdom, she’s going to have the chance to show everyone just how great of a wrestler she is with the most eyes possible on her. Do I think that Syuri should win that match, sure, but that’s only if the company’s plan isn’t to merge the IWGP and the World of Stardom Championship together in the end. Saya Kamitani has been the biggest star in joshi by far this year, so you’d think she’d win the big match at the dome, but if I had it my way, Syuri would retain the title in a great match, and then Saya would defend her title against Syuri in a rematch a month or two later. Then you can have the proverbial rubber match, and settle who’s truly better, or you can simply move onto other stories, because I have a feeling the person who is next on our list is going to be the final destination for that red belt once the company is ready for Kamitani to drop it.

2. Maika (4) – Last time I had Maika behind both Syuri and Starlight Kid because she was injured, which meant she’d be away for quite some time. Fast forward to now, and she’s about to come back with a vengeance, ready to not only tear down Saya Kamitani, the person who screwed her out of the red belt in the first place, but also H.A.T.E. in general. With her being away it was easy to not think of her quite as highly as before, but after she came back and simply spoke up inside of the ring, it reminds you why she’s the babyface “Ace” of this company. She speaks for the roster, she speaks for the people, and she’s a great wrestler that most fans can see a little bit of themselves in. Obviously, the fact that she loves to drink beer plays into that a little bit, but I can honestly say she’s more than just a Stone Cold ripoff in that way. Maika is Taro Okada’s Kazuchika Okada, and it will be interesting to see how long it takes for her to take back what is rightfully hers, the World of Stardom Championship. It’s possible they may make her really work for it, telling a year or two long story of hardships on the way, but I have a feeling they won’t extend it too much, especially while there’s extra momentum with her just coming back to the ring. With no league action this year in singles or tag, we can’t really base her ranking on here on anything more than hype and what she accomplished before, but I can tell you straight up, that I’m excited to see her back in the ring, ready to throw down once again!

TOP TIER

1. Saya Kamitani (1) – What can I say that hasn’t been said before? Saya Kamitani is not only at the top of STARDOM, but she’s on the top of the entire joshi wrestling scene, and hell, she might even be the top of the entire puro scene at the moment. If there was any year for a woman to win the Tokyo Sports Wrestler of the Year award, it would be this year for Kamitani, though I think she’d be helped more if she had a few more big-time stories like the one she had with Tam Nakano earlier in the year. The finish of that story was so beautiful, yet sad, and unfortunately, we haven’t really gotten a story that emotional since then. Is that Taro’s fault? Is that Saya’s fault? It’s hard to place the blame squarely on one person truthfully, but one thing is for sure, the fans in Japan are ready to eat up anything that Saya Kamitani cooks, which is great for business! STARDOM has had one of, if not its best year ever in terms of overall attendance, and money made, with most of that being because of Kamitani at the top. Sure, the entire roster is absolutely stacked with incredible talent, but Kamitani is truly the biggest draw. Saya’s 5STAR was very strong, only dropping one match to Bea Priestley before getting surprised by AZM in the playoff round in a match that was one of the best in the entire league. She got two great title defenses out of those two loses in the 5STAR which is what we all ask for when it comes to booking a tournament for a champion. She also was able to turn away Momo Watanabe’s challenge at Crimson Nightmare in another great match! She didn’t participate in tag league, however she did run some fun matches with the younger roster members, giving them the ability to work with the top wrestler of the company, and hopefully giving them precious experience that they will take advantage of in the future. All in all, Saya has had one hell of a year, and it will be interesting to see what happens with her two big matches at the end of this month, along with the Wrestle Kingdom at the beginning of next year.

That will conclude my look at the current STARDOM roster while ranking them from first to last. Just because a wrestler is towards the bottom of the rankings doesn’t mean that they are bad or that they are hopeless, it just means that at this moment in time, I don’t see them higher, but that can easily change in six months when I revisit this again.

If you like content like this, feel free to let us know on social media, and if you disagree with my takes, feel free to let us know that as well. This is an opinion of mine after all, and no list like this is truly perfect I can easily admit that. Hopefully the next time you see the pyramid come back, it will be for a different promotion (with fewer wrestlers…), but you’ll have to wait and see what we cook up. See you next time!
