All-Japan today holds NEW AGE CHRONICLE Z 6, the latest event in the series of Rising Hayato Produced events focused on younger & less experienced wrestlers (those with less than 10 years experience). The series has been very successful so far despite some hints the prior events would have been it, and it’s back for another installment today. In addition to the All-Japan roster members meeting the under-10-years-experience criteria, several independent wrestlers will be part of today’s event as well. The main event will be the 4 members of Hayato’s ELPIDA faction facing off in a 4-way.
Today’s event will be held at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on AJPW.TV. You will also be able to watch the first 2 matches-FOR FREE on YouTube. The event is a legit advance sellout. There will be no commentary. With only 5 matches and short ones at that it won’t be a long event despite there being an intermission, so anticipate the whole thing running just under 2 hours.
Today’s lineup:
Dan Tamura & Taishin Nagao vs. Hiroyuki Suzuki & Shota Kofuji
Hokuto Omori vs. Takahiro Katori
Ryo inoue vs. Ryoma Tsukamoto
Intermission
Jun & Rei Saito vs. Atsuki Aoyagi & Seigo Tachibana

We are LIVE from Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event. It’s a legit advance sellout so it depends on setup, before the pandemic the venue’s maximum capacity was roughly 600 but the last few years it’s normally been set up for around 350. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 340)
Rising Hayato comes out first to greet the crowd. As usual they have to mute the music.
The matches begin at 8:06 PM PT/11:06 PM ET. Music muted for the non-All-Japan wrestlers. (Actually they are inexplicably muting ALL music except for announcing wrestler names and winners)
