STARDOM star Mina Shirakawa spoke with WrestleZone’s Troy Gonzales on a number of topics, including working with Toni Storm.
Shirakawa said, “The character of ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm is perfect. Character is very important for a professional wrestler, and she’s one of my favorite wrestlers and ideal for our sport. When I fought against her, I was careful not to get sucked in too far into her world. As tag-team partners, we worked so well together that I couldn’t believe it was our first time working together! It was a lot of fun!”
On how AEW differs from STARDOM:
“There are many things that make AEW wrestling different from Stardom wrestling. The way we attack is different, the points at which fans get excited about a match are different, and the way the storyline develops into a title match is different. I mixed the AEW style of wrestling with my own wrestling. That style has become my own personality because I don’t share it with the other fighters in Stardom in a good way.”
On her goals for 2025:
“I have won Japanese belts and the British belt, but not yet an American belt. In 2025, I want to be a champion in the United States.”
