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
New Blood Tag Team Champions Rina & Azusa Inaba vs. Ranna Yagami & Lady C for the titles

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.

Juryo:
Nabatame (J14) beat Wakaikari (J13)
Tochitaikai (J12) beat Kaisho (Ms3)

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.

Kayo (J3) beat Kitanowaka (J1)
Kinbozan (J1) beat Shirokuma (J3)
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 1 (again): In a No DQ, No Countouts handicap match, Kagetora & Taiji Ishimori beat Brahmans Shu, Kei & Ryusuke. Ishimori pinned Kei.

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). The scheduled start time is 5 PM PT/8 PM ET. (Update: It will also be available as a PPV on TrillerTV/FITE for $19.99)
