For the last few months, Kyoko Kimura and Hailey Hatred have terrorized STARDOM leading the Monster heel faction. A key member of this heel faction is German wrestler Alpha Female. This all came to a head at today's STARDOM Korakuen Hall show when Alpha Female won the World Of STARDOM Championship from Nanae Takahashi and Kimura and Hatred won the Goddess Tag Team Championships from Natsuki*Taiyo and Yoshiko. These results might seem shocking except that STARDOM has this big show coming up. So if you are going to have this big triumph at that show, it has to be preceded by crushing defeat. Alpha Female is a gaijin monster heel in the a long tradition of joshi monster heels going back to Monster Ripper in the 70s. The bigger they are, the better Japanese promoters like them. She's not the biggest I have seen. She's six feet tall and she looks mean. I have seen some of her matches and Takahashi is a lot bigger than her usual opponent. She came to STARDOM last fall and though Alpha Female vs Takahashi was a draw, Alpha Female dominated the match and attacked Takahashi in the bathroom. This match was similar except that Alpha Female won the belt with her Alpha Plex finisher. I fully expect Takahashi to regain the belt next month. On the other hand, I expect Kimura and Hatred's tag team title reign to be much longer because they are STARDOM regulars and keeping them strong is a good idea. Afterwards, Takahashi apologized to fans for the loss and did her usual cheerleading. Then she expressed disbelief that she lost. It's a good setup for the main event of the big show.
