News on Stardom at Forbidden Door
Added 2023-06-09 16:22:30 +0000 UTCThere’s a possibility that Stardom could be a part of AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door.
Fightful Select has learned that Stardom and All Elite Wrestling have had conversations about the possibility of integrating Stardom talent into the highly anticipated Forbidden Door show. Those that we’ve spoken to from both sides indicated there have been some hurdles, but specifically Toni Storm was mentioned as a name for a Stardom talent to face.
We’ve been told that one of the main talking points is what Stardom talent would be available, as the company has their own show that same weekend. There have been discussions as to how to make it work, and it has been indicated to Fightful that it’s something All Elite Wrestling is hoping to make happen if they can pull it off.
We’ve also since learned that there were conversations with Stardom in 2022 for a similar booking. In the end, Thunder Rosa ended up facing Toni Storm instead.

I'd imagine they have brought it up before but, just like almost every negotiation, deadlines create movement That's true in negotiations in all parts of life.

2023-06-09 19:39:28 +0000 UTCUtami and SLK are part of big angle for the Stardom Sunshine show so they aren't being pulled

2023-06-09 19:28:43 +0000 UTCHow long have these talks been going on? Because on the surface it seems like really poor planning on Tony’s part, especially in light of the issues he said he faced last year in trying to have Stardom talent be a part of the first Forbidden Door.

2023-06-09 19:24:23 +0000 UTCWhy didn’t these conversations take place sooner? They’ve known what the issues were since last year based on Tony’s response to a question asked in the post Forbidden Door scrum. It just seems like really poor planning to me.

2023-06-09 19:20:43 +0000 UTCKonami isn't booked

2023-06-09 19:08:51 +0000 UTCYeah i love Konami. I do think they'll get Syuri if anyone. Her match is easy to change

2023-06-09 18:15:20 +0000 UTCStill, of the names available, she is one most associated with Stardom, and is really good.
Martin Holmes
2023-06-09 18:06:08 +0000 UTCShe's freelance and doesn't wrestle much
Stew Sizer
2023-06-09 17:55:28 +0000 UTCKonami isn't booked on the Stardom show on the 25th. She'd be the best option of those available.

2023-06-09 17:49:31 +0000 UTCGoodluck to them
Stew Sizer
2023-06-09 17:28:26 +0000 UTCThey're in talks
Fightful Select
2023-06-09 17:27:23 +0000 UTCI'll be interested to see if they can make it work, especially as Stardom have a ppv on that same day.

2023-06-09 17:04:15 +0000 UTCI appreciate it, tbh I really didn’t even know they had a big show coming up. With the way STARDOM World uploads the shows I’m always behind and I don’t read spoilers. So I’m probably a month or more behind because I haven’t had time to catch up, sorry if I came off as a dick.

2023-06-09 16:56:07 +0000 UTCNo worries, just linked to the card that day. It's a stacked show
Stew Sizer
2023-06-09 16:52:59 +0000 UTCWell I haven’t been able to keep up with it recently and I’m really behind, and I already know the website and I subscribe to STARDOM World. I’m just been busy so my bad.

2023-06-09 16:49:12 +0000 UTCAll the top stars have matches the same day in Tokyo. would take 14 hours to fly to Toronto. https://wwr-stardom.com/schedule/20230625_yoyogi/?mc_id=777

2023-06-09 16:43:18 +0000 UTCBasically the entire Stardom Roster are booked on the 25th June Stardom Sunshine event. It's why they were hoping to get Mercedes.
Stew Sizer
2023-06-09 16:37:04 +0000 UTCDefinitely not a coincidence that Jericho released a history of STARDOM episode this week.
Jason Cooper
2023-06-09 16:29:47 +0000 UTCI really really really hope it pans out. Would love to finally see some Stardom talent live.
Patrick Farrugia
2023-06-09 16:27:39 +0000 UTCI would love to see Utami or Tam or Gulia wrestle Toni at FD, but I really need to see SLK wrestle anyone and I don’t care who it is ( I freaking love SLK )
