   Stardom Quest Episode 318 - Mai Sakurai Leaving Marigold, Korakuen Preview & Stardom Latest

   Alex and Dylan return for the latest episode of Stardom Quest. The show begins with a discussion on Mai Sakurai announcing her departure from Marigold and its implications as well as the impact the constant upheaval is having on our hosts as fans of the promotion and the fears it causes over long-term investment in the roster. After that, they have to review the recent house shows and preview the upcoming Korakuen, which will have to set up most of the Sumo Hall card. At roughly the 1 hour and 19 minute mark, focus turns to STARDOM with updates on the new STARS members and a Bea Priestley story brewing, there is then a preview of the Korakuen Hall show which at the time of recording only had one match announced.
