Pro Wrestling NOAH ran Episode 3 of MONDAY MAGIC today, the halfway point of the series.
Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.
The paid attendance has not yet been announced but it appears to have been a legit advance sellout.
The card was not announced in advance but there was a last-minute change because Haruka Umesaki, who was scheduled to participate, was removed due to illness.
