>>6760249I would recommend starting with the "We Are Stardom" half-hour shows on YouTube. These are highlight/digest shows from the top matches a week to a couple months after they are performed live. it's delayed and you miss entrances and full-matches, but it's probably going to give you the most signal-to-noise for trying out Stardom. The Stardom-World streaming service uploads events split up by match, so you can easily just watch the matches you want.
I am a fan of Stardom, and I subscribe to Stardom-World, but I do not watch everything. I watch almost any matches with my favorite performers, as well as things I think are important for storylines or have buzz about them, and skip most of the rest. For instance, I skipped about half of the most recent PPV event.
The promotion has a roster of about 25-30 women, minus a few for injuries and vacations. They try to get as many performers into every show, so there are a lot of multi-woman stipulation matches, things like three-ways, trios matches, 6-woman tag matches, that fill up the lower- and mid-card. It is not uncommon for a tag or trios match to main event a show at a smaller venue.
Stardom is built around factions, so in the absence of a title challenge or a personal feud, a lot of match storylines are built around faction rivalries. It makes it easy to jump into or out of a storyline without losing too much context. There are dedicated tag teams and trios, but outside of a title match, factions take precedence over teams. This will probably give you the impression that a lot of the event mid-cards are "filler."
