Pro Wrestling NOAH wrapped up the Dream On 2022 Tour today with a major event, headlined by 3 title matches and the return of Keiji Muto, who has been out most of the year so far due to injury.
Today’s event was held at Ota City General Gym in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in English. Japanese audio will be available at a later date.
The announced paid attendance was 924. If the venue is at 1/3 capacity, that would possibly be close to a sellout. If it’s at half capacity, it’s an okay number.
Match 1: Kazuyuki Fujita beat Kinya Okada by submisison.
Match 2: Yoshiki Inamura & Kai Fujimura beat Daiki INaba & Junta Miyawaki. INamura pinned Miyawaki after a shoulder tackle.
Match 3: Shuhei Taniguchi beat Mohammed Yone.
Match 4: Tadasuke, Hajime Ohara, Hi69 & Shuji Kondo (Big Japan) beat Daisuke Harada, Atsushi Kotoge, YO-HEY & Haoh. Kondo pinned Haoh after a King Kong lariat.
Match 5: Takashi Sugiura, Hideki Suzuki & Masaaki Mochizuki beat Masakatsu Funaki, Katsuhiko Nakajima & Manabu Soya. Mochizuki pinned Soya after a running low face kick.
Match 6: Kenoh beat Simon Gotch by ref stoppage (technical submission).
Match 7: GHC Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Yoshinari Ogawa & Chris Ridgeway vs. Seiki Yoshioka & Yuya Susumu went to a NO CONTEST. Perros Del Mal De Japon interference. As a result, Ogawa & Ridgeway retain the titles but it will not count as a successful defense.
Match 8: GHC Jr. Heavyweight Champion HAYATA beat Extreme Tiger to retain the title. V1 for HAYATA.
Match 9: Michael Elgin & Masa Kitamiya beat GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Rene Dupree & Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. to win the titles. Elgin & Kitamiya become the 60th GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Champions. Elgin pinned Wagner Jr. after a Double Impact type powerbomb.
Main Event: Go Shiozaki, Kaito Kiyomiya & Masato Tanaka beat Keiji Muto, Naomichi Marufuji & Satoshi Kojima. Shiozaki pinned Kojima after Go Lariat.
The next event is a NOAH SANCTUARY event on 5/30 at the Noah Special Arena aka Club Citta Kawasaki in Kawasaki City. It’s also going to be the final event for Junta Miyawaki for a while as it appears he’s going off on a training excursion. After that will be 3 events in early June that will be the final build to CyberFight Festival 2022-6/5 at Aore Nagaoka In Niigata, 6/7 at Korakuen Hall and 6/8 at Korakuen. 6/5 will be taped for on demand delivery at a later date. 6/7 will be live on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. 6/8 will be ABEMA only for live and WRESTLE UNIVERSE on demand at a later date. 6/7 has a title match scheduled as the Open The Triangle Gate Championship, a 6-man/trios title in Dragon Gate Pro Wrestling, will be defended by Perros Del Mal de Japon.
