Rob and Matt are back with their final pre-Christmas Stardom Cast episode, and though there are only two house shows to talk about, there is the little matter of Mercedes Mone vs. Hazuki to fill the time...

They also chat Tokyo Dome clown, the missed opportunity to call Waka and HANAKO's tag team WANAKO, some deserved flowers for Momo Kohgo, Matoi offending a bear, a feud of the year blossoming between Koguma and Ranna, and a good old dollop of Christmas cheer to boot!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Rob and Matt are reacquainted once again to bring you this week's Marigold Standard!

Releasing on the same day as the Shinjuku FACE show, but without having actually seen the full show in time, the lads chat about the shows in Osaka and Tahara as well as some of the news coming out of a sell out Shinjuku show. They also talk Rob's grey complexion, possible team names for Hummingbird and Flying Penguin, the great injury debate and the retirement of a bonified joshi icon!

With Christmas a mere two weeks away, Rob and Matt delve headlong into the business end of the Tag League, reviewing the play-offs and finals.

They chat about the return of Fukigen Death, Winggori and SaoriPoi managing to better their block match, BMI2000 in SEAD, Dream Queendom matches, HANAKO's push, a stellar 2-out-of-3 falls match, and title challenges galore before giving their end-of-tournament awards!

Thanks to friend of the show Steve Kaklamanos for the excellent Thekla-themed Christmas Carol that starts the episode!

Matt is forced to fly solo this week as Rob has car trouble and is stuck at work! Thankfully, Matt only has the one show to review, though we still got an extremely entertaining main event, confirmation of Chika Goto's in-ring return and a challenge for the Superfly Championship - all in the space of just half an hour!
