* CompetenceZone: Some where between 18 and 50. Fuka will train ''anyone'', regardless of age, but will give any match involving anyone with an incomplete bone structure a two minute time limit tops, if she can help it. Almost every stable has at least one TagAlongKid of some sort and Io Shirai managed to win the Artist Of Stardom for Queen's Quest multiple times while figuratively and sometimes literally carrying some combination of AZM, HZK and or Momo Watanabe. Watanabe would succeed Shirai as Queen's Quest leader(and carrier) after aging into the zone.

* CommutingOnABus: Hana Kimura had been appearing in World Wonder Ring STARDOM with Oedo~tai since the Summer of 2016. She got a lot of attention, what with her dancing, winning of title belts-holding the Goddess Of Stardom for nearly a year Kagetsu in particular, and her determination to end the career of Iwatani, but Kagetsu was the offical leader of Oedo~tai and Kimura wasn't officially considered part of the STARDOM roster until May of 2019. By then she had turned on Kagetsu and was in the process of taking over the International Army and turning it into the miscreant Tokyo Cyber Squad. Granted, Kagetsu herself had been in and out of STARDOM in 2016 before finally getting a roster spot and becoming the official Oedo~tai leader in 2017.
* DancingIsSeriousBusiness: To Hana Kimura anyway, dancing is worth prolonging a match, and breaking the rules of a dance off, even one she is not currently involved in, is a grave enough offense for her to send whatever PowerStable she is apart of after you. As Andras Miyagi showed, headbaning is not dance, Hana will take your legs for it.

On the other hand Matsumoto also crushed Garrett with the weight of Kyoko Kimura and Kris Wolf because she didn't realize Garrett was holding onto Wolf as she drove them into the turnbuckles.

Undeterred, STARDOM simply did photo shoots with the wrestlers who did last in the model's place, with even the irreverent heels of Oedo~tai setting up breaks in between their mischief making and EvilGloating to doll up.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Even before STARDOM proper was running, Nanae Takahashi knew the company was going get flak for heavily recruiting models and Yuzuki Aikawa in particular would be looked on with scorn for all the promotion she was getting while being one and a rookie to boot, so she promised everyone's concerns would be addressed as soon as possible. Takahashi promised Aikawa's dues would be paid in full by the end of her first match at ''Yuzupon Matsuri'' before STARDOM's first official show. It should have been a SquashMatch but Takahashi deliberately drew it out to make sure Aikawa's body was sufficiently bruised and swollen.
* NotInTheFace: Face punches were banned in STARDOM in response to the negative publicity they gained from the "ghastly match". Initially it seemed like all punches were forbidden but Io Shirai quickly disproved that by giving her springboard superman punch to the back of Hudson Envy's head.
* RivalsTeamUp
** Yuzuki Aikawa and her biggest rival Yoko Bito teamed up to form the BY Hou TagTeam to overcome a wall both had failed to scale in Nanae Takahashi and went on to become the first Goddess Of Stardom champions.
** After Meiko Satomura beat Kairi Hojo for the belt, Hojo and Thunder Rock vowed to work together until The World Of STARDOM was won back from Meiko Satomura when they saw she was using it as Sendai Girls' World Championship belt. They stuck together even afterwards, made a point of showing a united front outside of STARDOM and tended to run roughshod over the heels even when they weren't always on the same page inside of it.
* SpitefulSpit
** Act Yasukawa initially came to the ring with a bottle of rum because she enjoyed alcohol, rum was one of her favorite samurai's choice of drink and the particular brand was brewed in her own district. She kept bringing it to the ring with her because it was something she could [[TakeThatAudience spit on the fans]] chanting her name.
** Yoshiko tracked down Kyoko Kimura in the locker room, beat her down and shoved a banana down her throat to add insult to injury. Kimura wasn't capable of spitting it on Yoshiko in the condition Yoshiko left her in, but it was clear from her body language that was what she was trying to do.
* StrongerSibling: Physically speaking, Mio Shirai was this to Io, and was better known and more respected in part because of it. Mio showed up very rarely in STARDOM however, where Io was allowed to make more of name for herself.
* TheCorrupter
** Filipina photographer and English teacher Kris Wolf happened upon joshi puroresu while doing a hands on study of Japanese culture. She tried to learn as much as she could from everyone she met, always show respect and follow the rules but Kyoko Kimura suggested Wolf should "Follow her heart" and Wolf's heart said "Fuck Everything". Before long Kimura Monster gun had a new member.
** Star Fire had aspiration of using lucha libre to help people and changing society for the better. Kyoko Kimura couldn't get those thoughts out of her head, but did convince Star Fire to put all that on hold.
* TheGiant: Alpha Female, Female Predator Amazon, Queen Maya and Madison Eagles on height. Goya Kong and Viper on
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything:
* TheRival: As far as angle's go, Sendai Girls Pro Wrestling is World Wonder Ring STARDOM's main rival promotion. In practice, SGPW is about as regionally focused as its name implies and Nanae Takahashi's {{s|tartmyown}}plinter fed [=SEAdLINNNG=] is their most obvious rival.

!Factions
Factions play a bigger role in Stardom than in most other promotions -- every wrestler in Stardom is part of one of five factions. They are...
* '''Stars''' (Current leader: Mayu Iwatani): The pure {{Face}} faction - company players and all-around good girls.
* '''Tokyo Cyber Squad''' (Current leader: Jungle Kyona): ChaoticGood, anti-authoritarian Faces, a mismatched group of wrestlers who are drawn together despite their differences.
* '''Oedo-tai''' (Current leader: Natsuko Tora): The pure {{Heel}} faction, with all the viciousness and dirty tricks you'd expect from such a group.
* '''Queen's Quest''' (Current leader: Momo Watanabe): A {{Tweener}} faction, devoted to establishing themselves at top of the promotion and making sure everybody knows it, but without going to the heelish extremes of Oedo-Tai.
* '''Donna del Mondo''' (Current leader: Giulia): A faction of outsiders, here to cause a ruckus and shake up the status quo.
