All-Japan held NEW AGE CHRONICLE Z 5 today, the latest and possibly last in the series of Rising Hayato Produced events for younger and less experienced wrestlers (less than 10 years experience).
Today’s event was held at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on AJPW.TV.
The announced paid attendance was 338, a legit advance sellout.
Match 1: Dan Tamura beat Ryo Inoue.
Match 2: Hokuto Omori beat Jack Kennedy.
Match 3: Rei Saito beat Jun Saito & Seigo Tachibana in a 3-way by pinning Tachibana.
Match 4: Yuma Anzai, Ryuki Honda, Rising Hayato & Ren Ayabe beat Yuma Aoyagi, Shotaro Ashino, Kumaarashi & Fuminori Abe. Anzai pinned Kumaarashi after Gimlet.
Main Event: Seigo Tachibana won a 15 man battle royal with all event participants, last eliminating Rei Saito.
No word on if there will be another event in the series, but they made it sound like no.
The next event is 7/13 at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka with 3 title matches-an All-Japan World Junior Heavyweight Championship match, All-Japan World Tag Team Championship match and All-Japan Triple Crown match. Live streaming on AJPW.TV will begin at 2 AM PT/5 AM ET.
