All-Japan Pro Wrestling coverage on this site begins today with the latest event of their Summer Action Series tour, which is featuring New Japan Pro Wrestling participation as Tiger Mask 4 prepares to defend his newly-won All-Japan World Jr. Heavyweight Championship in the near future.
Today’s event was held at Yokohama Radiant Hall in Yokohama and can be watched on demand on AJPW.TV, All-Japan’s online streaming service. The service is available worldwide for the equivalent of 900 Japanese yen per month (currently about $6.75 US).
The announced paid attendance was 282. That’s close to normal full capacity for the small venue.
The event opened with a memorial tribute and 10 Bell Salute for former All-Japan wrestler, trainer and director Masashi Aoyagi, who died earlier this week. There is no audio on the replay of this segment due to music rights, except for the 10 Bell Salute.
