AEW Rampage 8/12/22 Results

Here are the quick results from last night’s AEW Rampage in Minneapolis, MN:
Bryan Danielson promo with Daniel Garcia opened. They face off Wednesday on Dynamite in a 2 of 3 falls match.

AAA Mixed Tag Team Champions Sammy Guevara & Tay Melo beat Dante Martin & Skye Blue to retain the titles. Melo pinned Blue after TayKO. Melo is the former Tay Conti (she & Guevara got legit married last weekend. I’m still assuming Eddie Kingston wasn’t invited).

Parker Boudreaux beat Sonny Kiss. Squash.

Gunn Club beat Danhausen & Erick Redbeard. Colten Gunn pinned Danhausen after Fameasser.

Zack Clayton, whoever he is, challenged FTW Champion Hook for the title. That may happen next week.

Orange Cassidy beat Ari Daivari. After the match, Truthbusters beat down Best Friends and Sonny Kiss, despite being squashed by them earlier, came out and turned heel to join them.

Post-show news:
After the show went off, AEW announced on social media that Boudreaux is now #AllElite as he has signed with the promotion.
Also, Konosuke Takeshita has left AEW as his excursion to the US is apparently over after 4 months. He is returning to Japan for several upcoming major events in DDT. The door is certainly open for Takeshita to come back to the US and he would like to return.
In more unfortunate news, Kris Statlander has suffered another knee injury and is out indefinitely, likely to be several months. She had just moved up to #1 in the Women’s Rankings, putting her in line for a title shot…last time this happened, she got hurt too. Ugh. Best wishes for a full recovery.
During an NFL preseason game involving the Jacksonville Jaguars, owned by his father, Tony Khan announced AEW will return home to Daily’s Place on 10/21. That’s a Friday, suggesting that either will be a live Rampage or a non-televised house show, which AEW has only done once

Added to Dynamite next week is Gunn Club vs. Varsity Blonds.

Next week on Rampage: AEW Tag Team Champions Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland vs. Private Party for the titles. And possibly the FTW Title match.

New Japan 8/13/22 Results

New Japan ran Day 16 of G1 CLIMAX 32, returning to the Machida area of Tokyo for the first time in 3 years. Despite a typhoon (hurricane) battering this part of Japan, the event went on as planned.

Today’s event was held at Machida Gym in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on New Japan World in Japanese and English. This was a Samurai! TV broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 2212. Taking the typhoon/hurricane into consideration, this was a really good number. Yoshinobu Kanemaru is the guest on Japanese commentary.

Match 1: El Phantasmo, Chase Owens, Bad Luck Fale & Juice Robinson beat Jado, David Finlay, Tama Tonga & Hiroshi Tanahashi. Owens pinned Jado after C Trigger.

Match 2: Bad Dude Tito & Jonah beat Royce Isaacs & Tom Lawlor. Jonah pinned Isaacs after Black Forest Bomb.

Match 3: BUSHI, SANADA & Tetsuya Naito beat TAKA Michioku, Zack Sabre Jr. & Lance Archer. SANADA beat TAKA with Skull End.

Match 4: Tomohiro Ishii, Hirooki Goto & Kazuchika Okada beat Dick Togo, Sho & EVIL. Ishii pinned Togo after a vertical drop brainbuster.

G1 CLIMAX:
Match 5: Block C-KENTA beat Aaron Henare by submission.
Match 6: Block A-Jeff Cobb beat Toru Yano.
Match 7: Block D-Shingo Takagi beat Yujiro Takahashi.
Match 8: Block D-Will Ospreay beat YOSHI-HASHI.
Main Event Block B-Jay White beat Taichi.

Day 17 is tomorrow at White Ring in Nagano. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin TONIGHT at 11 PM PT/2 AM ET.

The September New Japan World broadcast schedule is set, and unfortunately the vast majority of the Burning Spirit Tour next month will not be available live or on demand. That includes a Korakuen Hall event, which is unheard of. At this time just 5 of the 17 scheduled events will be available live & on demand: 9/2 (Yokohama Budokan), 9/5 (Korakuen), 9/18 (Beppu B-Con Plaza in Oita), 9/23 (Takamatsu City General Gym 1 in Kagawa) and 9/25 (Kobe World Hall-tour-ender). 9/25 will have live English audio.

Tokyo Joshi Pro Tokyo Princess Cup Semifinals Results (8/13/22)

Tokyo Joshi Pro returns to Tokyo this weekend to wrap up the 9th Tokyo Princess Cup. The first half of the doubleheader is today with the Semifinals, consisting of two veterans looking to earn another shot at Shoko Nakajima with tournament victories, and two younger opponents each looking for two more big upsets and their first tournament triumph. The undercard features the TJPW debut of massive US indy wrestler Max The Impaler (poor Pom Harajuku, she might just get killed today) and some AA Eye Candy as Yuki Arai & Saki Akai will be in tag team action.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese and English. And if you’re looking to pass the time until the start, last weekend’s Yuki Kamifuku Hometown Event is now available on demand. I anticipate today’s event having around a 2 1/2 hour runtime. (It can’t really go past 3 hours because there is a Ganbare Pro event coming up shortly after this one finishes)

Maki Itoh will miss this weekend’s events due to being in the US for an appearance in Game Changer Wrestling, while Yuki Aino is expected to return today after missing several events due to a leg injury.

Today’s lineup:
Shoko Nakajima vs. Kaya Toribami
Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta vs. Yuki Aino & Raku
Rika Tatsumi vs. Mizuki & Hyper Misao in a 3-way
Saki Akai, Yuki Arai & Moka Miyamoto vs. Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Neko Haruna
Arisu Endo vs. Mei Suruga
Max The Impaler vs. Pom Harajuku
Tokyo Princess Cup Semifinals:
Miyu Yamashita vs. Miu Watanabe
Yuka Sakazaki vs. Suzume

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will begin at 10:30 PM ET/7:30 PM PT. The live stream will begin at 10 PM ET/7 PM PT. The first match should begin around 10:50 PM ET/7:50 PM PT.

We are LIVE from Korakuen Hall in TOkyo, Japan. Your hosts are Haruo Murata, Kagehiro Osano & Sayoko Mita. There is no English commentary despite WRESTLE UNIVERSE advertising it on their website.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event but it is a reduced capacity setup on the opposite-hard camera side. That probably means a top crowd of 450-500.

The first match should begin in about 20 minutes (as of 10:30 PM ET).

After the opening announcements & Up Up Girls performance, a video recap of the Tokyo Princess Cup so far is shown before the opening card rundown.

Match 1: Kaya Toribami vs. Shoko Nakajima. 15 minute time limit
Result: Shoko Nakajima beat Kaya Toribami

Match 2: Yuki Aino & Raku vs. Nao Kakuta & Hikari Noa. 20 minute time limit
Result: Nao Kakuta & Hikari Noa beat Yuki AIno & Raku. Kakuta pinned Raku after Shiden Kai.

Shoko Nakajima joins commentary for the next match.
Match 3: Arisu Endo (and her ever-changing hair color, now it’s blonde) vs. Mei Suruga. 15 minute time limit
Result: Mei Suruga beat Arisu Endo by submission

Match 4: Hyper Misao vs. Mizuki & Rika Tatsumi in a 3-way. 20 minute time limit
Result: Rika Tatsumi beat Hyper Misao & Mizuki in a 3-way by pinning Misao.

Match 5: Pom Harajuku vs. Max The Impaler. 15 minute time limit
Result: Max The Impaler beat Pom Harajuku. Glorified (and borderline comedy) squash.

Match 6: Saki Akai, Yuki Arai & Moka Miyamoto vs. Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Neko Haruna. 20 minute time limit
Result Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Neko Haruna beat Saki Akai, Yuki Arai & Moka Miyamoto. Kiryu pinned Arai after a spinebuster. Afterwards, Kiryu with microphone. Challenge issued for the Princess Tag Team Championship-Kiryu & Kamifuku, seemingly accepted by Akai. More to come post-event.

Match 7: Tokyo Princess Cup Semifinals: Yuka Sakazaki vs. Suzume. No time limit
Result; Yuka Sakazaki beat Suzumu. As a result, Sakazaki advances to the Finals.

Main Event: Tokyo Princess Cup Semifinals: Miyu Yamashita vs. Miu Watanabe. No time limit
Result: Miu Watanabe beat Miyu Yamashita. As a result, Watanabe advances to the Finals. UPSET ALERT!
The Final will be Sakazaki vs. Watanabe. Will The Magical Girl get her chance to join Yamashita as 3-time Princess Of Princess Champions or will the Up Up Girl idol break through with one final upset?

The Final is tomorrow. The full card will be announced shortly. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 10:30 PM ET/7:30 PM PT.

UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 444.
Today’s card has only 6 matches and will be a shorter event due to a special event being held immediately after the show.
