Sumo-November 2024 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 7 Results (11/16/24) (Top 2 Tiers)

Here are the quick results from today’s Day 7 of the November 2024 Grand Sumo Tournament in Fukuoka:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, J-Juryo, Ms-Makushita

Makuuchi (top tier):
Tamashoho (J4) beat Bushozam (M17) by default/withdrawal
Takerufuji (M16) beat Onokatsu (M15)
Chiyoshoma (M14) beat Shishi (M16)
Shonannoumi (M13) beat Asakoryu (M17)
Nishikifuji (M14) beat Sadanoumi (M12)
Hokutofuji (M12) beat Tokihayate (M15)
Takarafuji (M10) beat Ryuden (M13)
Meisei (M11) beat Ichiyamamoto (M10)
Tamawashi (M11) bat Midorifuji (M9)
Roga (M8) beat Takayasu (M9)
Endo (M7) beat Gonoyama (M8)
Takanosho (M6) beat Mitakeumi (M7)
Tobizaru (M5) beat Nishikigi (M6)
Kotoshoho (M5) beat Churanoumi (M4)
Oshoma (M4) beat Wakatakakage (M2)
Wakamotoharu (K) beat Oho (M1)
Daieisho (S) beat Hiradoumi (M1)
Kirishima (S) beat Shodai (K)
Onosato (O) beat Ura (M2)
Abi (M3) beat Hoshoryu (O)
Kotozakura (O) beat Atamifuji (M2)
Leader: 4 at 6-1
WITHDRAWAL: Bushozan (M17). Left knee injury suffered yesterday. Status uncertain. Tamashoho got the fusen as a result. If Bushozan can’t return tomorrow or Monday he will be demoted back to Juryo.
Of note: Somehow Mitakeumi was able to compete after being stretchered out yesterday with left shoulder and hip injuries following a hard landing at the end of his match, but after the initial charge it was clear he was in no shape to compete and Takanosho won by essentially a walkover. Never doubt the fighting spirit and desire to compete but he should withdraw and take the tough demotion even though he was 5-1 coming in to today. We’ll see what happens. If Mitakeumi does pull out this time the fusen tomorrow would go to Takayasu. And Happy 40th birthday Tamawashi! The Iron Man celebrated the Over The Hill milestone with an impressive win over Midorifuji and still is showing no signs of slowing down. Elsewhere, the remaining unbeatsns all lost today. Abi all but clinched Outstanding Performance Prize if eligible with a second win over Ozeki as he flash slapped down Hoshoryu, which allowed Kotozakura to pull back into a tie for the lead and Onosato to move one off the lead. Surprise co-leader Onokatsu took his first loss to Takerufuji.
No more Juryo men up starting tomorrow due to the Bushozan withdrawal.

Juryo:
Wakaikari (J13) beat Chiyomaru (J11)
Tochitaikai (J12) beat Aonishiki (J11)
Kotoeiho (J13) beat Fujiseiun (J10)
Oshoumi (J14) beat Daieisho (J9)
Daiseizan (J12) beat Daiamami (J9)
Mitoryu (J8) beat Nabatame (J14)
Tsurugisho (J7) beat Onosho (J10)
Hidenoumi (J7) beat Hakuyozan (J8)
Shiden (J6) beat Kayo (J3)
Shirokuma (J3) beat Tomokaze (J5)
Kagayaki (J2) beat Hakuoho (J2)
Kinbozan (J1) beat Shimazuumi (J5)
Shimanoumi (J4) beat Kitanowaka (J1)
Leader: Oshoumi (7-0)
Of note: The story continues. Oshoumi remains the sole leader and, having surpassed his win total from September now, is just one win from being lucky to remain in Juryo to promotion. Some upsets thinned the ranks below him down to 3 at 6-1, with Kinbozan among them and 2 wins from promotion back to the top tier. along with Tsurugisho & Tochitaikai. At the bottom, Chiyomaru’s return to Juryo apparently will be brief, as he is now one loss from demotion at 0-7. Anything worse than 6-9 probably will send him back to Makushita.

Lower tier notes:
Today was the start of Promotion Day, where the division leaders go to 4-0 and clinch promotions for the next tournament. In the Makushita, 3 got there today with the remaining 8 3-0s getting their shot tomorrow. In the Sandanme, Enho was among 4 who to go to 4-0, so that will be a third straight promotion in the comeback. He still needs more wins to have a chance to get back to Makushita in January. 13 more 3-0 wrestlers are up tomorrow for their chance. In the Jonidan, 6 have clinched promotions so far with 9 to go tomorrow, and in the Jonokuchi only one of the 3 unbeatens competed today and won so for now Tamaki is the only 4-0 there.

Reminder: NHK World Japan will have 50 minutes of LIVE top tier coverage FOR FREE tomorrow beginning at 12:10 AM PT/3:10 AM ET.

All-Japan Pro Wrestling 11/16/24 Results

There will be an intermission at the halfway point of the card, so although it has only 6 matches that will stretch it out a little big. That and Kuroshio’s seemingly never-ending entrance antics.

Stardom 11/16/24 LIVE Results

Stardom runs their monthly NEW BLOOD event today, taking their developmental series to Osaka for a special NEW BLOOD WEST installment. As is normally the case, it will feature a mix of younger & less experienced Stardom wrestlers and similar from other promotions including freelancers. A new wrestler is also slated to debut today, currently named Matoi (ring name TBA at a later date) following an exhibition practice appearance at a recent event. The main event will likely be a New Blood Tag Team Championship match as Rina & Azusa Inaba, who are also in this year’s Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Tournament, defend the titles against Ranna Yagami & Lady C.

Today’s event will be held at Osaka Azalea Taisho in Osaka and can be watched LIVE FOR FREE only on YouTube. It will not be available live on Stardom World. There will be no commentary. These events are on the shorter side and there are only 5 matches planned so the event will probably run a little over 90 minutes but less than 2 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Matoi Debut Match: Matoi vs. Hanan
Mei Seira & Miyu Amasaki vs. Yuna Mizumori & Momoka Hanazono
Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara vs. Sumiko Yanagawa & Misa Kamihime
HANAKO & Rian vs. ZONES & ChiChi

7:45 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream above has begun. Results will be posted below. Updates will begin when the event begins in about 15 minutes.

7:57 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates start now.

We are LIVE from Osaka Azalea Taisho in Osaka, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. This is a very small venue that typically averages around 200 for wrestling events, the seating I can see looks full or close to it. I’m not too familiar with the capacity but from what I know about the past I’ll guess it’ll be around that 200 figure. (UPDATE: It has not yet been announced but it was a legit advance sellout) (UPDATE 2: The announced paid attendance was 246)

The matches should begin in a few minutes.

The matches begin at 8:03 PM PT/11:03 PM ET.

Match 1: Matoi Hamabe Debut Match: Matoi Hamabe vs. Hanan. 15 minute time limit
Result: Hanan beat Matoi Hamabe by submission. But a very good effort from the newcomer in her debut, showing a lot of potential and nearly pulled the upset on a few occasions. Afterwards, Hanan with microphone. She put Hamabe over and thanked her before letting Hamabe have the microphone for post-debut comments.

Match 2: Mei Seira & Miyu Amasaki vs. Yuna Mizumori & Momoka Hanazono (Independent/Freelancer). And some kind of bubble machine with Hanazono. 20 minute time limit
Result: Mei Seira & Miyu Amasaki beat Yuna Mizumori & Momoka Hanazono. Seira pinned Mizumori after a Hanazono weapon attack backfired and Seira ducked so she hit Mizumori instead.

Match 3: Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara vs. Sumiko Yanagawa & Misa Kamihime (Just Tap Out/JTO). 20 minute time limit. As was the case in match 2 entrance music is muted for the outsiders (copyrights).
Result: Sumiko Yanagawa & Misa Kamihime beat Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara. Kamihime pinned Kurara after a diving senton.

Intermission.

The matches resume at 9:15 PM PT/12:15 AM ET.

Match 4: HANAKO & Rian vs. ZONES & ChiChi (Independent/Freelancers). 20 minute time limit
Result: ZONES & ChiChi beat HANAKO & Rian. ChiChi pinned Rian. Post-match promos interrupted by Aya Sakura who rushed in to attack ZONES & ChiChi leading to a Sakura beatdown from ZONES as HANAKO & ChiChi scuffled while others tried to break it up.

Main Event: New Blood Tag Team Champions Rina & Azusa Inaba vs. Ranna Yagami & Lady C for the titles. 20 minute time limit
Result: New Blood Tag Team Champions Rina & Azusa Inaba beat Ranna Yagami & Lady C to retain the titles. Inaba pinned Yagami after a running knee strike. V2 for the champs. Afterwards the usual group photo op with all the participants ended the show.

The next NEW BLOOD event will be on 12/26.

The next event is HISTORIC X-OVER 2, a crossover event with New Japan, Sunday at Osaka Prefectural Gym. Live streaming as a PPV on Stardom World will begin Saturday at 11 PM PT/2 AM ET. It will also be available on New Japan World, for those in the US it’ll be maybe a dollar or two cheaper there. The PPV on demand window is expected to be one week. The Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Tournament resumes Wednesday.

Sumo-November 2024 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 6 Results (11/15/24) (Top 2 Tiers)

Here are the quick results from today’s Day 6 of the November 2024 Grand Sumo Tournament in Fukuoka:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, J-Juryo, Ms-Makushita

Makuuchi (top tier):
Asakoryu (J17) beat Shishi (J16)
Onokatsu (M15) beat Kayo (J3)
Takerufuji (M16) beat Chiyoshoma (M14)
Bushozan (M17) beat Nishikifuji (M14)
Shonannoumi (M13) beat Tokihayate (M15)
Tamawashi (M11) beat Ryuden (M13)
Ichiyamamoto (M10) beat Hokutofuji (M12)
Takarafuji (M10) beat Sadanoumi (M12)
Takayasu (M9) beat Meisei (M11)
Miforifuji (M9) beat Endo (M7)
Gonoyama (M8) beat Takanosho (M6)
Tobizaru (M5) beat Roga (M8)
Mitakeumi (M7) beat Kotoshoho (M5)
Nishikigi (M6) beat Oshoma (M4)
Ura (M2) beat Oho (M1)
Shodai (K) beat Wakamotoharu (K)
Kirishima (S) beat Hiradoumi (M1)
Chiranoumi (M4) beat Daieisho (S)
Hoshoryu (O) beat Atamifuji (M3)
Kotozakura (O) beat Abi (M2)
Wakatakakage (M2) beat Onosato (O)
Leader: Onokatsu, Hoshoryu (6-0)
Of note: Victory came at a potentially high price for Mitakeumi as he appeared to be seriously injured. At the end, when both rikishi fell out of the ring, Mitakeumi landed hard in his left shoulder/upper arm and could not move. He had to be loaded onto a gurney and taken out on a stretcher. If he can’t complete tomorrow, Takanosho will get the fusen. Let’s just hope it’s not serious because Mitakeumi was off to a great start at 5-1 after today. After taking his first loss today, a freebie would put Takanosho at 6-1 and keep him potentially just one off the lead or maybe put him back into a tie for the lead. Kirishima’s first win also saw him potentially get injured, it appears his foot/ankle bent quite awkwardly at the end of his match, he was limping a bit afterwards so we’ll see what happens there. At 1-5 his Ozeki hopes this time are gone. Elsewhere, Onosato has now lost 2 losses after taking a second straight loss to Wakatakakage, who beat him in September. He’s got the always-unpredictable Ura tomorrow. The other Ozeki are back in top form so far as Hoshoryu is a co-leader at 6-0 while Kotozakura is 5-1. Kotozakura has Atamifuji tomorrow while Hoshoryu has Abi finishing up his Ozeki rounds-a win could make Abi a leading contender for the Outstanding Performance Award if eligible.

Juryo:
Oshoumi (J14) beat Kotoeiho (J13)
Daiseizan (J12) beat Obara (Ms4)
Aonishiki (J11) beat Nabatame (J12)
Onosho (J10) beat Chiyomaru (J11)
Fujiseiun (J10) beat Wakaikari (J13)
Tochitaikai (J12) beat Daishoho (J9)
Mitoryu (J8) beat Hakuyozan (J8)
Hidenoumi (J7) beat Tohakuryu (J6) by default/withdrawal
Daiamami (J9) beat Shiden (J6)
Tsurugisho (J7) beat Tomokaze (J5)
Tamashoho (J4) beat Shimanoumi (J4)
Shimazuumi (J5) beat Kagayaki (J2)
Shirokuma (J3) beat Kitanowaka (J1)
Kinbozan (J1) beat Hakuoho (J2)
Leader: Oshoumi (6-0)
WITHDRAWAL: Tohakuryu (J6). Unknown. Status uncertain. Hidenoumi got the fusen as a result. Already out for tomorrow, if he can’t return he would finish the equivalent of 2-13 and probably be demoted to Makushita (he was 2-3 coming into today).
Of note: Oshoumi somehow got a second chance in Juryo despite going 6-9 at this rank in September, which should have met demotion to Makushita. He’s made the most of it, already matching his September win total and remaining the sole leader. He gets Daishoho tomorrow. At the bottom, Chiyomaru seems headed back to Makushita as in his latest return to Juryo he is now 0-6 after the loss to Onosho, who is 2-4 as he tries to stay in the top 2 tiers. Not looking good either for fellow newcomer Wakaikari who is now 1-5.

Lower tier notes: With his loss as the Makushita man in Juryo today, Obara will be demoted as he is now 0-4, joining Kamito as early Makushita demotions. As Promotion Day begins tomorrow in the lower tiers, the Makushita has 14 at 3-0 so any of those who win over the next 2 days remain tied for the lead and will be promoted. In the Sandanme, no match for Enho today. He’s among 21 tied at 3-0 and will go for promotion tomorrow against Yurikisho, who also is 3-0. The Jonidan has 22 at 3-0 while the Jonokuchi has 3 at 3-0.

Tsurugisho (J7) beat Hakuyozan (J8)
Shiden (J6) beat Tohakuryu (J6)
Tomokaze (J5) beat Hidenoumi (J7)

Kagayaki (J2) beat Shimanoumi (J4)
Kayo (J3) beat Kinbozan (J1)
Kitanowaka (J1) beat Hakuoho (J2)
Leader: Oshoumi (5-0)

Lower tier notes: Enho had a second straight match (uncommon to happene arly on consecutive days) in the Sandanme today and won, taking him to 3-0 and one win away from a 3rd straight promotion since he began his comeback effort. That means no match tomorrow so we’ll next see him in action on Day 7 or 8. He probably needs 5 or more wins (ideally 6 or 7) to get up to Makushita in January.

UPDATE: For Juryo, Tohakuryu has WITHDRAWN ahead of Day 6. Unknown why at this time. Hidenoumi gets the fusen as a result, and he needed it as he was 0-5.

Of note: The odd-timed withdrawal for Makuahita man Kamito, which becomes official tomorrow on Day 5, means he’ll be the first-and early-demotion of he tournament as he was 0-3 with today and missing the next 2 days of Makushita should guarantee a 4th loss.

Lower tier notes: Enho won his Sandanme match today and is now 2-0, halfway to another promotion. He next will be in action tomorrow against Daiyusho, who is also 2-0. A win means Enho can clinch promotion on Day 7 or 8 depending on when his 4th match is scheduled.
