Wrestling fans, buckle up because Rossy Ogawa, the mastermind behind STARDOM, is back in the wrestling ring—figuratively speaking, of course! After parting ways with Bushiroad in a bit of a talent tug-of-war, Ogawa hasn’t just landed on his feet; he’s hit the ground running with a brand new promotion: Dream Star Fighting Marigold.
In a move as bold as the flower it’s named after, Ogawa unveiled his latest venture at a packed press conference today. And let me tell you, he’s not just dipping a toe into the waters of the wrestling world; he’s doing a cannonball! Dream Star Fighting Marigold has rolled out the red carpet for an impressive lineup of wrestlers, many of whom are familiar faces from STARDOM like Giulia, Utami Hayashishita, and the gang, who’ve followed Ogawa into this new chapter.
The action’s set to kick off on May 20 at Tokyo’s famed Korakuen Hall, and the lineup for this inaugural bash? A tag team thriller featuring Giulia and a mystery partner facing off against former WWE star Sareee and her own secret tag team buddy. Talk about sparking intrigue right out of the gate!
But wait, there’s more! The “Grand Opening Wars” tour will stretch into late June, promising a series of showdowns that are sure to keep fans on the edge of their seats. At the press conference, wrestlers from Actwres Girl’Z also got a nod from Ogawa to throw down in the Marigold ring, turning this new promotion into a who’s who of wrestling talent.
While Giulia’s stint might be a brief whirlwind—she’s WWE-bound after fulfilling her Marigold commitments—the buzz around Dream Star Fighting Marigold is just getting started. From STARDOM founder to his own boss, Rossy Ogawa is crafting a wrestling renaissance that’s as vibrant and promising as the marigold itself.
