It is taking place between August 31 and September 28, 2024.[1]
Tournament history
[edit]The Dream Star Grand Prix is a professional wrestling tournament held by Marigold. Similar to Bushiroad-owned counterpart tournaments New Japan Pro-Wrestling's G1 Climax and Stardom 5 Star Grand Prix, it is held as a round-robin tournament with wrestlers split into two pools. The winner of each pool will compete in the final to decide the winner. As is the case with Bushiroad tournaments, a win is two points and a draw is one point for each wrestler.
Storylines
