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UPDATE: For Juryo, Tohakuryu has WITHDRAWN ahead of Day 6.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.

Leader: Kinbozan, Aonishiki, Oshoumi (4-0)
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.

Hoshoryu (O) beat Hiradoumi (M1)
Oho (M1) beat Kotozakura (O)
Onosato (O) beat Shidao (K)
Leader: 7 at 3-0
Of note: Ozeki Watch for Kirishima is pretty much over. At 0-3 and needing 13 wins for the so-called “magic number” of 33 over the last 3 tournaments including this one unofficially needed for promotion, it can’t happen now and his only chance to gain promotion back now is to win the tournament, ideally by now winning out to go 12-3.

Juryo:
Oshoumi (J14) beat Nabatame (J14)
Kotoeiho (J13) beat Miyagi (Ms2)

Kayo (J3) beat Shirokuma (J3)
Hakuoho (J2) beat Tamashoho (J4)
Kinbozan (J1) beat Kitanowaka (J1)
Leader: 5 at 3-0
Of note: For the first time since demotion from the top tier after his rookie effort due to injury, Hakuoho will be back up tomorrow as the Juryo man of the day. He will face Shishi, with a win getting the former top Hakuho protege to 3-1 which would be a big step towards possibly returning in January as he’ll proabbly need at least 9 wins.

Lower tier notes: No Enho match yesterday, his second Sandanme match will be today as he looks to go 2-0. He will face Dairado, who is Sd55 and 1-0. (As of this post the Sandanme matches for Day 4 are just getting started)

New Japan 11/12/24 Results

Apparently Taiji Ishimori thinks he’s superhuman and thus will do reckless things. That was the theme and title of his special New Japan event today, Superhuman Taiji Ishimori Does Reckless Things.

Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand as a PPV on New Japan World.

The paid attendance has not been announced but it was a legit advance sellout.

There were late changes to the card because Dragon Kid, who was scheduled to face Ishimori in the main event, was pulled due to a neck injury. Dragon Gate provided an update today-thankfully it is not serious and Kid will not need surgery, just rest and once the pain subsides he can return. Dragon Dia was the replacement.

Pre-show match: Taiji Ishimori beat Daiki Nagai.

Match 1: Kagetora (Dragon Gate) & Taiji Ishimori beat Brahmans Ryusuke (Ryusuke Taguchi) & Shu by DQ in 21 seconds. Shu DQ’d. Which led to…

Match 2: Taiji Ishimori vs. TBA, revealed at match time to be Kosei Fujita, went to a 10 minute time limit draw.

Match 3: Shun Skywalker (Dragon Gate), Sho & Taiji Ishimori vs. Shuji Ishikawa, Daisuke Sekimoto (Big Japan) & Jeff Cobb went to a double countout. Which led to…
Match 3 (again): Shuji Ishikawa, Daisuke Sekimoto (Big Japan) & Jeff Cobb beat Shun Skywalker (Dragon Gate), Sho & Taiji Ishimori. Cobb pinned Ishimori.

Match 4: Jun Kasai won a (at least) 10 man battle royal, last eliminating Taiji Ishimori.

Main Event: Taiji Ishimori beat Dragon Dia (Dragon Gate). Afterwards, Ishimori announced next time he’ll face Kid, or possibly at an upcoming Korakuen Hall event.

The next event is HISTORIC X-OVER 2, a New Japan/Stardom joint event, Sunday at Osaka Prefectural Gym in Osaka. Live streaming on New Japan World and Stardom World as a PPV will begin Saturday at 11 PM PT/2 AM ET. The PPV is $34.99 in the US and the on demand window is expected to be for one week after the event.

In other news, it has been announced that STRONG STYLE EVOLVED, the next US event on 12/15 in Long Beach, CA, will be available live & on demand on New Japan World for all monthly paid subscribers (no PPV).

Pro Wrestling NOAH reached the halfway point of MONDAY MAGIC Season 3 today with the 3rd episode.

Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

Order of elimination: Chiguya Nagayo, Nightshade, Yuu, Bojira, Utami Hayashishita, Takumi Iroha, Miku Aono, Miyuki Takase, Great Sakuya, Gibbs. Because Sakuya didn’t win that’s an upset in my book.

Episode 4 is 11/18.
