Pro Wrestling NOAH wrapped up MONDAY MAGIC today with the final episode of what, on paper, appears to have been a very successful experiment.
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 was a legit advance sellout (every event in the series was). So that likely means 450-500 depending on the setup.
Match 1: Saxon Huxley & Timothy Thatcher beat 2 Great Mummies. Huxley pinned a Great Mummy after a neck hanging bomb.
Match 2: Jake Lee, LJ Cleary, YO-HEY & Tadasuke beat Masato Tanaka (ZERO1), Titus Alexander, Alejandro & Terry Yaki. Lee pinned Yaki after FBS.
Match 3: Haruka Umesaki & Miyuki Takase beat Nagisa Nozaki & Arisa Nakajima. Takase pinned Nozaki with La Magistral.
Match 4: Kenoh, Kota Minoura (Dragon Gate) & Ben-K (Dragon Gate) beat Manabu Soya, Masa Kitamiya & Daiki Inaba. Kenoh pinned Inaba after PFS.
Match 5: HAYATA & Yoshinari Ogawa beat Gedo (New Japan) & Eita by DQ. Gedo DQ’d. Ref assault.
Main Event: Kaito Kiyomiya beat Ryohei Oiwa.
The next event is Wednesday at Korakuen Hall for the final STAR NAVIGATION 2023 event (of course this tour continues next year). Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in English only will begin at 1:30 AM Pt/4:30 AM ET. This is another ABEMA exclusive in Japan only.
UPDATE: The promotion has announced MONDAY MAGIC will return in April. Season 2 will be 4 episodes on 4/1, 4/8, 4/15 & 4/22, all at Shinjuku Face.
UPDATE 2: Today’s event is currently unavailable on demand or limited due to technical issues.
UPDATE 3: Issue fixed as of 12:30 PM ET and today’s event is now available on demand again.
