Injury Report: Junior Brother To The Sidelines (Updated)

All-Japan has announced an injury absence coming out of this past weekend’s event, unfortunately it’s a major one as Atsuki Aoyagi has gone down. Left knee (torn ACL). Out indefinitely but this probably means at least the rest of the year. He is also out of the Zennichi Jr. Festival as a result. Masaaki Mochizuki (Dragon Gate) will be the replacement. This could have other implications as Aoyagi currently holds the All-Asia Tag Team Championship with Rising Hayato and, if he’s going to be out as long as I think he will be, it means the titles may have to be vacated.

More as it becomes available.

UPDATE: It’s now official-the All-Asia Tag Team Championship is now VACANT. Aoyagi & Hayato have vacated the titles due to the injury.

BREAKING: Dory Funk Jr. Dies (Updated x2)

Breaking news coming out today that has major impacts across wrestling, and especially All-Japan: Dory Funk Jr., the legendary wrestler and chairman of the Pacific Wrestling Federation (PWF), the governing body of All-Japan Pro Wrestling, has died. He was 85. The cause of death is not yet known.

Funk, real name Dorrance Earnest Funk, was the son of Dory Funk Sr. and brother of hardcore icon Terry Funk. Trained by Dory, Pedro Morales & Ricky Romero, he is the second-longest-reigning NWA World Heavyweight Champion of all time, a 2009 WWE Hall Of Fame inductee, and much more. He debuted in All-Japan in 1973, just a year after the promotion began, and frequently teamed with Terry over 10 years there, including winning the annual World’s Strongest Tag League/Real World Tag League 3 times. He also was a 3-time NWA International Heavyweight Champion. After leaving in the mid-1980s, he briefly went to WWF/E in 1986 then to Puerto Rico & the US independents before returning to All-Japan in 1990, staying until the end of 1096. He returned in 2008 for a match then again in 2013 and stayed until 2017, during which time he was named PWF Chairman. His final match was in the promotion in 2017 but he remained in his PWF role until his death.

Funk won numerous championships and accolades around the world. He is survived by wife Marti and 5 children.

As this news is just breaking and it’s 6:30 AM Wednesday in Japan, All-Japan has not yet posted about this. This will be updated when they issue a statement(s).

RIP and God Bless, Dory.

UPDATE: All-Japan posted a brief statement expressing their deepest condolences. Nothing regarding the PWF yet.

The top 3 in each block advance to the playoffs, with the winners going to the Quarterfinals. In Red A, Aoki has now lost 2 in a row even though she still leads, but the advantage went to AZM today as she now holds the tiebreaker over Aoki. Aoki’s last opponent is Maika. Although not in last, Kurara is now eliminated because she loses all tiebreakers to those who can get to 6+ points except Rina and has only one match left (Tora). Kurogame is on life support because of the point today but still has the thinnest possible chance. In Red B, Iida leads with Yamashita as her final opponent for the tiebreaker but Konami is in the advantage position with 3 matches left. For tiebreaker purposes, Iida currently beats Konami and Itoh and currently loses to Hayashishita. Yamashita went to draws with Itoh & Hayashishita so there could very well have to be a tiebreaker match, but the second tiebreaker before that after head-to-head result is wins. Yamashita-Konami upcoming will settle that. Hopefully. C is now eliminated due to losing all tiebreakers. In Blue A, Suzuki is in control as the last unbeaten left, with Hart now having the tiebreaker over Ruaka due to winning their match. The only tiebreaker Suzuki does not have right now is Sakura because their match hasn’t happened yet. She also hasn’t faced Ruaka and Hart yet. Sakura is basically on life support because the only tiebreakers she wins are HANAKO & Ruaka. Amasaki & Hina also only beat Sakura. Rian of course is now out. In Blue B, Watanabe maintains the lead and currently would have the tiebreaker over Kamitani because of wins, but Kamitani has a match in hand. Neither has faced Hanan yet though. Hanan only loses tiebreaker right now to Sohrei. Kid also is in good shape having beaten Watanabe but went to a draw with Kamitani and her loss is to Hanan. Mizumori & Koguma are still in it but with slim hopes as Mizumori still has Hanan & Kamitani and Koguma still faces Kid & Watanabe but lost to Hanan & Kamitani. Sohrei has a chance with 3 matches left and she beat Hanan. Furusawa is out.

The next event is Saturday at Gateaux Kingdom Sapporo in Hokkaido for a doubleheader with only the Red blocks for both events. Live streaming on Stardom World for event 1 will begin at midnight PT/3 AM ET and 9 PM PT/midnight ET for event 2.
