The announced paid attendance was 938.

There was a late change to the card because Atsushi Kotoge was a last-minute injury removal and is now out of the N-1 VICTORY Tournament. Neck. Out indefinitely. All of his remaining opponents will get a free win. Today that was Kaito Kiyomiya, meaning he also was off the event.

Day 4 is tomorrow. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 2:30 AM PT/5:30 AM ET.

And some fallout from Match 6: Because of what happened today, a GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match has been made as Shuji Kondo & Eita will defend against HAYATA & YO-HEY. That match will happen on 9/1 at Osaka Prefectural Gym in Osaka along with the N-1 VICTORY Finals.

Tokyo Joshi Pro 8/10/24 Results

Tokyo Joshi Pro continues the Tokyo Princess Cup today with the Quarterfinals. After today the Semifinals will be set, but despite having a previously established bracket they mix things up by random pairings for the 4 that advance today. While the match order isn’t set yet, promo graphics suggest it could be Yuki Arai vs. Suzume. The other Quarterfinals are RIka Tatsumi vs. Ryo MIzunami, Yuki Aino vs. Yuki Kamifuku and Zara Zakher, fresh off an upset win over Miu Watanabe in Round 2, faving Mizuki. The first half of the lineup is non-tournament matches, with an interesting 8-woman tag because it will be the first time the current Up Up Girls-Watanabe, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami-have all been in such a match as a team. TNA Wrestling’s Masha Slamovich, in Japan for other events this next week, also will be participating today. It was announced in advance there will be no HIMAWARI today due to a stage/theater appearance.

Today’s event will be held at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. There is a DDT event later today at the venue which will keep them on the clock as far as event running time goes, because of that I don’t see this event running longer than 2 1/2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Pom Harajuku vs. Mahiro Kiryu & Runa Okubo in a 3-way
Arisu Endo & Chika Nanase vs. Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami
Miu Watanabe, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami vs. Shoko Nakajima, Wakana Uehara, Haru Kazashiro & Kira Summer
Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh vs. Masha Slamovich & Toga
Tokyo Princess Cup Quarterfinals:
Rika Tatsumi vs. Ryo Mizunami
Yuki Aino vs. Yuki Kamifuku
Zara Zakher vs. Mizuki
Yuki Arai vs. Suzume

Updates below will begin at 8:30 PM PT/11:30 PM ET.

5:30 PM PT UPDATE: The promotion just announced the start of the event may be DELAYED by up to 1 hour. The wrestlers’ arrival at the venue has bene significantly delayed due to traffic.

8 PM PT UPDATE: The event will now start at 9:30 PM PT/12:30 AM ET. I may not be able to do live results for the whole thing now.

9:10 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream is scheduled to begin in 5 minutes. I will do live updates for as long as I can.

9:15 PM PT UPDATE: Live stream has begun. We should go to the venue in about 15 minutes.

Pre-show news: The return date for the venue is 11/16, which will be The Mountain Top 2024. Sounds like that’ll be the monthly big event for November.

9:25 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now…
We are LIVE from Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Advance ticket sales seemed to really pick up over the last day or two and the opposite-hard camera section when we join was almost full. It’ll depend largely on the setup. I’m thinking it’ll be in the 700-750 range but there’s a chance of a sellout. (I think it’s a hard-camera only view today so with the lower level setup I’m going to adjust the estimate down to about 600. Not a sellout but looks at least 90% full) (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 370. Yikes, I was way off)

The matches will begin in a few minutes. They’re in hurry up mode, quickly going to Up Up Girls because they are an hour behind schedule and have to get the event done in time for a DDT event later today.

The matches begin at 9:35 PM PT/12:35 AM ET. Rika Tatsumi-Ryo Mizunami will be the main event. I thought it would be Suzume-Yuki Arai but that’s the 7th match of 8.

Result: Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami beat Arisu Endo & Chika Nanase. Miyamoto beat Nanase with Rashomon.

Injury Report: Come On Stinger, Come On (Updated 8/12/24)

Yoshinari Ogawa is the head man of the Stinger faction in Pro Wrestling NOAH, but he gets a lot of those Stingers when it comes to injuries with age. Unfortunately it’s happened again. Neck. Out indefinitely and off tomorrow. He was to have been in an 8-man tag match. This may be another long-term injury. Ogawa has a long history of neck issues dating back to when he was a heavyweight and suffered a life-threatening broken neck, which caused him to drop to Junior Heavyweight and adjust his style.

8/12/24 UPDATE: The promotion has announced Ogawa has retired, apparently effective immediately, ending a near 40-year career. He won every championship in NOAH at least once except the GHC National Championship and also won the All-Japan World Tag Team Championship, World Junior Heavyweight Championship, All-Asia Tag Team Championship and Open The Triangle Gate Championship. It was reported that Ogawa will be able to live a normal life despite the injury, and there will be no press conference or statement from Ogawa.

Injury Report: This Is A Very Sad Evil Clown

Stardom fans who are longtime joshi fans may know that the not happy and rather evil clown Fukigen is actually 3-decade-plus veteran Kaori Yoneyama when she appears in the promotion (she is her real self elsewhere and in her own YMZ promotion). She is a very unhappy clown now due to a serious injury per the Stardom English Twitter account. Torn ACL. Out about a year and potentially career-threatening. A decision about her future will be made at a later date.

This means a card change for Saturday (which is a live PPV on Stardom World, it should be available on or after next Wednesday for all monthly subscribers): She was to have teamed with Natsuko Tora, Thekla & Rina to face Yuna Mizumori, Sayaka Kurara, Aya Sakura & Waka Tsukiyama. Azusa Inaba (from TAKA Michinoku’s Just Tap Out promotion) is the replacement.

More as it becomes available.
