Injury Report: Wasteland Pom Party Cancelled (Updated x2)
Unfortunately the relentless injury/illness bug has followed Japan to “The Collective” in Philadelphia and it’s resulted in very disappointing news for Tokyo Joshi Pro fans-Max The Impaler has announced they are off the weekend’s events and that includes tomorrow’s Tokyo Joshi Pro event. Coronavirus. Max was to have teamed with Pom Harajuku to face Mizuki & VertVixen. Replacement TBA. Max has apologized to the fans on Twitter and asked them to “PLEASE TAKE CARE OF MAX’S POM”, and understandably is very sad that there will be no reunion of the very popular Wasteland Pom Party tomorrow.
More as it becomes available.
UPDATE: Nao Kakuta is now off both events as well. Illness. Did not travel to the US. Updates to come.
UPDATE 2 Aja Kong is the replacement for Max The Impaler. Trish Adora is the replacement for Kakuta and will team with Raku wi face Yuki Kamifuku & Viva Van.

Samoa Joe-Swerve Strickland Dynasty contract signing is the main event segment. Devolved into the usual violence with Joe beating down Strickland into nothingness but Strickland came back to taunt Joe before signing the contract with his own blood, then Joe put Strickland through a table after a low blow to end it.
I didn’t care much for tonight’s lineup and the card on paper was nowhere near huge. The first 2 matches were good though.

BREAKING: AEW Talent Cuts Announced
Uh oh…here comes The Wrath Of KHAN!!! AEW has reportedly released ten wrestlers/talents today, who will not have no-compete clauses and are immediate free agents. Here’s the list so far: The Boys, Dasha Kuret (Dasha Gonzalez, who was the secondary ring announcer), Jose The Assistant, Jora Johl, Anthony Henry, Gravity, Stu Grayson (again?), Parker Boudreaux, Slim J. Obviously I’m not happy about Dasha because I liked her as a ring announcer, when she started out she was also a co-host for the early episodes of Dark on YouTube (she also wrestled one match a couple years ago). I had read a rumor earlier today that Boudreaux was still under contract for several more months, beyond that it’s disappointing to see The Boys gone as they were a big part of Dalton Castle’s character, and same with Grayson seemingly being done for a second time. Henry had been seeing a lot of action lately, mostly as a jobber. Jose was a big part of LFI as a manager. Johl hasn’t really been used much at all, same for Slim J. Gravity is basically a wrestling pun but was the kind of flippy luchador-type Khan marks out for.
No word on whether or not there may be more cuts coming.
Pro Wrestling NOAH 4/1/24 Results
After a very successful first run several months ago, Pro Wrestling NOAH brought back the MONDAY MAGIC series for a second season of events, which kicked off today with Episode 1.
Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. It also streamed live on ABEMA in Japan.
The paid attendance has not yet been announced but it was a legit advance sellout.
Match 1: Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. & Luis Mante (Dragon Gate) beat Dragon Bane & Alpha Wolf. Mante pinned Wolf after Vuelta Finale.
Match 2; Kenoh beat Ryohei Oiwa.
Match 3: Nagisa Nozaki & Great Sakuya beat Miyuki Takase & Nameless (?). Sakuya pinned Nameless after a moonsault press.
Match 4; Jake Lee, YO-HEY & Tadasuke beat Masa Kitamiya, Junta Miyawaki & Yu Owada. YO-HEY pinned Owada after a dropkick.
Match 5: Yoshinari Ogawa & Gedo (New Japan) vs. HAYATA & Eita went to a no contest.
Main Event: Kaito Kiyomiya beat Ulka Sasaki.
Episode 2 is next Monday and will feature a GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match as YO-HEY & Tadasuke defend the titles against Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto.
The next event is Saturday at Shimizu Marine Building in Shizuoka. There will be no live broadcast.
In other news, after making a surprise appearance today, former Stardom wrestler Giulia has been added to the 5/4 event at Ryogoku Kokugikan. More as it becomes available.
Injury Report: DDT Young Man To Take Extended Hiatus
DDT has announced another in a strong of countless injury absences, but this one is different because it will be a planned hiatus: After this Sunday’s (4/7) event, Hideki Okatani will be taking an injury hiatus. Left knee surgery (torn ACL). Out indefinitely but almost certainly several months. Okatani has vowed to come back stronger. His last match Sunday will be as part of a 6-man 4-way tag.

Continue reading “AEW Rampage 4/5/24 Results (SPOILERS!)”Injury Report: TJPW US Card Now A Wreck
It may be April Fools Day but this is not much more than a bad pun…but it’s also true. The Tokyo Joshi Pro “GCW vs. TJPW” event this week just had changes made because Sawyer Wreck, part of the GCW side, is now off. Unspecified injury. She was to have teamed with Allie Katch to face Mizuki & Nao Kakuta. That match is now Katch vs. Mizuki and what had been a Suzume vs. Pom Harajuku match will now be Suzume & Harajuku vs. Kakuta & SAKI.
The event is scheduled for Saturday at 2:30 PM ET/11:30 AM PT and can be watched live and on demand on TrillerTV/FITE with a Triller+ subscription ($7.99/month or $79.99/year).
