BREAKING: TJPW Title Match Added To US Event (Updated x2)
Another big change was just made for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s COMBAT PRINCESS USA event in Los Angeles, CA later this month: An already announced match between Nao Kakuta & Hikari Noa and Janai Kai & Shazza McKenzie has just been changed to be for the Princess Tag Team Championship held by Noa & Kakuta. This will be the 3rd defense for the champs.
The event will be held on 12/14 and it also was announced that it will be broadcast on PPV but I don’t know where (it likely will not be WRESTLE UNIVERSE or FITE).
UPDATE: PPV will be on WRESTLE UNIVERSE for 3000 yen, or around $20 US. Will be in English. Pre-sales begin Thursday.
UPDATE 2: And more potential headaches for the event…co-host Prestige Wrestling just announced the event has been moved from the Globe Theater to the Vermont Hollywood in Los Angeles, CA due to ongoing issues with the former. First The Globe was going to close, then it wasn’t, and now this with the event just 9 days away.
New Japan 12/4/23 Results
New Japan ran Day 12 of the World Tag League today, the penultimate day of Block B.

Main Event: Zandokan Jr. & Yota Tsuji beat Alex Zayne & Lance Archer. Tsuji pinned Zayne after Gene Blaster. Tetsuya Naito was a guest on commentary for the main event.
Standings:
1-Hikuleo/Phantasmo, 4-2, 8 pts

3-Archer/Zayne, 4-2, 8 pts
4-YOSHI-HASHI/Goto, 3-3-1, 7 pts
5-Zandokan/Tsuji, 3-4, 6 pts
6-Soberano/Atlantis, 2-4-1, 5 pts (OUT)
7-Bonza/Fale, 2-5, 4 pts (OUT)
8-Suzuki/Nagata, 1-6, 2 pts (OUT)
The Top 2 advance to the Finals. It’s a little more open here than in Block A but not too complicated. It’s actually simple-the Hikuleo/Phantasmo-Zayne/Archer winner next time out advances. Same for the Taichi/Uemura-YOSHI-HASHI/Goto winner…BUT…if Hikuleo/Phantasmo-Archer/Zayne is a time limit draw and Bishamon win, YOSHI-HASHI/Goto would lose the tiebreaker as they lost to both other teams. Also, Zandokan/Tsuji still have a chance thanks to tiebreakers. They must win their final match (Atlantis/Soberano) AND Hikuleo/Phantasmo-Archer-Zayne MUST END IN A NO CONTEST/DOUBLE DQ. Something that means no points for both…AND Bishamon must win. If all that happens, Tsuji/Zandokan have a chance. They do lose tiebreakers right now to Archer/Zayne though.
The next event is Wednesday at Karatsu Athletic Stadium in Saga for the final day of Block A. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin at 1:30 AM PT/4:30 AM ET.
The promotion has also announced that, due to ongoing bug fixes/improvements since the New Japan World update/relaunch, Sunday’s Finals live broadcast will be in Japanese only with English on demand as soon as possible after the event. The plan was Japanese and English live but that won’t happen now.

8-Liona/Kaun, 1-5, 2 pts (OUT)
The top 2 advance to the Semifinals. With tiebreakers it’s down to 3. And it’s actually simple: The Haste/Nicholls-Coughlin/Kidd winner on the final day advances. If it’s a time limit draw, Haste/Nicholls advance. Yano/Ishii must win their last match (HENARE/Khan) unless Haste/Nicholls win, then a draw gets them through. If Coughlin/Kidd draw and earn 1 point, they must have Yano/Ishii lose or draw. If there are ties, here is what happens: If it’s a 3-way, Haste/Nicholls are OUT. If Yano/Ishii & Coughlin/Kidd tie for 2nd, Yano/Ishii are OUT. If 2 teams tie for 1st, if it’s Haste/Nicholls and Ishii/Yano it goes to Ishii/Yano. If it’s Haste/Nicholls and Coughlin/Kidd it will go to Coughlin/Kidd with the last day win.
The next event is tomorrow at Kochi Prefectural Gym in Kochi with the penultimate day of Block B. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin at 2 AM PT/5 AM ET.
DDT Pro Wrestling 12/3/23 Results
DDT continues the D KING GP 2023 today with the second half of a weekend doubleheader in Tokyo. There are 4 tournament matches scheduled today, two in each of the 2 blocks. Block A has Tetsuya Endo vs. Yuki Iino and Yuki Ueno vs. Daisuke Sasaki. Block B has Yukio Naya vs. Kazuki Hirata and, in the main event, Chris Brookes vs. MAO. Based on the standings so far, if Naya wins and he should, he will be firmly in control of Block B at his halfway point at 3-0. Block A has almost everyone at 1 win after 1 or 2 matches so today could help determine favorites to move on to the eventual finals.
Today’s event will be held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will probably be no commentary. With just 6 matches on tap and no intermission it’ll go 3 hours tops, but realistically I’m estimating the running time being closer to 2 1/4 hours. Probably depends on the main event, which I can see going the full 30 minutes.
Today’s lineup (in order):
MIKAMI & Kazuma Sumi vs. Demus & KANON
Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi, Yusuke Okada & Rukiya vs. HARASHIMA, Akito, Toi Kojima & Takeshi Masada
D KING GP:
Block B: Yukio Naya vs. Kazuki Hirata
Block A: Tetsuya Endo vs. Yuki Iino
Block A: Yuki Ueno vs. Daisuke Sasaki
Block B: Chris Brookes vs. MAO
Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.
Updates below will begin at 7 PM PT/10 PM ET.
6:30 PM PT UPDATE: The stream launch, normally 30 minutes before the event begins, has been pushed back to 6:45 PM PT/9:45 PM ET. Unless there’s a last-second change, no pre-show matches planned.
7 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now…
We are LIVE from Shinjuku Face in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Advance sales were good so it looks to be probably around yesterday which did 334. It looks at first like it’ll be 325-350. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 266)
Match 1: MIKAMI & Kazuma Sumi vs. Demus & KANON. 30 minute time limit
Result: Demus & KANON beat MIKAMI & Kazuma Sumi. Demus pinned Sumi after a spinning neckbreaker bomb.
Match 2: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi, Yusuke Okada & Rukiya vs. HARASHIMA, Akito, Toi Kojima & Takeshi Masada. 30 minute time limit
Result: HARASHIMA, Akito, Toi Kojima & Takeshi Masada beat Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi, Yusuke Okada & Rukiya. Masada pinned Rukiya.
Quick break for the usual opening announcements from GM Imabayashi. The end of this brings out MAO with microphone. Comments in Japanese. He then called out Chris Beookes, his opponent in the main event. Brookes came out. It sounded like MAO wanted to change today’s match to also be for the DDT Universal Championship. Imabayashi makes it official. Main Event now for the title.
Match 3: D KING GP Block B: Yukio Naya vs. Kazuki Hirata. 30 minute time limit
Result: Yukio Naya beat Kazuki Hirata. Comedy match and, as usual with Hirata, a really funny one.
Match 4: D KING GP Block A: Tetsuya Endo vs. Yuki Iino (remember he’s no longer Sexy!). 30 minute time limit
Result: Tetsuya Endo beat Yuki Iino
Match 5: D KING GP Block A: Yuki Ueno vs. Daisuke Sasaki. 30 minute time limit
Result: Time Limit Draw. Largely because of MJ Paul interference and heel tactics by Sasaki including blatantly taking out the ref late.
Main Event: D KING GP Block B: DDT Universal Champion MAO vs. Chris Brookes for the title. 30 minute time limit (not 1 Hour because it’s a tournament match)
Result: DDT Universal Champion MAO beat Chris Brookes by countout to retain the title. V2 for MAO. Apparently they had the match in a way that they were trying to both win by countout.
The next event is 12/9 at Osaka Azalea Taisho in Osaka. There will be no live broadcast.
