The 2020 Stardom Cinderella Tournament (スターダムシンデレラトーナメント2020, Sutādamushindereratōnamento 2020) was the sixth annual professional wrestling single-elimination tournament promoted by World Wonder Ring Stardom in Tokyo, Japan. The event took place on March 24, 2020, with a limited attendance due in part to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic at the time.[2]
Storylines
[edit]The show featured thirteen Cinderella Tournament matches and a dark match with scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[3] The matches can be won by pinfall, submission or elimination over the top rope. A time-limit draw or a double elimination means a loss for each competitor.
Event
[edit]The first-round matches were broadcast live on Stardom's YouTube channel.[4] The preshow included a dark match in which Sumire Natsu and Hina defeated Itsuki Hoshino and Rina. The tournament had two draws, one between Utami Hayashishita and Maika, and the other one between Hana Kimura and Mayu Iwatani, therefore Tam Nakano and Natsuko Tora received walkover victories straight through the semi-finals. Giulia won the Cinderella Tournament, with her granted wish being a match for the Wonder of Stardom Championship against the then-time champion Arisa Hoshiki.[5][6] However, Hoshiki retired from professional wrestling on May 20, 2020, leaving Giulia to challenge for the vacant title against Tam Nakano.[7]
Participants
[edit]The tournament was composed by 16 competitors including the champions. It was the last event to conclude in a single day.[8]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
