Just imagine being a wrestling fan in the early 2000s, any person interested in wrestling had a real chance of stumbling upon Stardom, a wrestling company that had been formed in Japan just a few years prior. The matches and storylines of Stardom were so far beyond anything you had ever seen before, it would take years before any other company could even come close to matching their level of innovation and athleticism.
Even with limited exposure and resources, Stardom hinted at the fact that wrestling wasn't always the formulaic and repetitive spectacle that you would take for granted, but that long before your fandom, there had existed a company that redefined what wrestling could be, and that the glory of Stardom was yours to appreciate, even if the entire world had yet to discover just how great it truly was.
We can't fathom realizing something of this nature in the modern era, where wrestling companies are easily accessible through the internet and social media, but just imagine if every time you turned on the TV, you saw the groundbreaking matches and captivating storylines of Stardom, or if the biggest stars in the wrestling world all started their careers in the company, honing their craft and pushing the boundaries of what wrestling could be. It would fundamentally change how we view the wrestling industry and the potential for innovation and creativity within it.
