Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling 6/4/23 Results

Tokyo Joshi Pro continues their spring house show tour today with the last event before their monthly major event next Sunday. With the Big 3 (Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki, Maki Itoh) all still overseas until next week and several others still out with injuries, the rest of the roster gets more of the spotlight once again although the missing wrestlers will subdue the potential next week build. Tag matches will be an emphasis today with a pair of 6-women tag matches and one tag match alongside 3 single matches.

Today’s event will be held at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. This should be another standard weekend matinee house show with a total running time of just under 2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Wakana Uehara vs. Mahiro Kiryu, Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo
Yuki Kamifuku vs. Toga
Moka Miyamoto vs. Shino Suzuki
Hyper Misao vs. HIMAWARI
Mizuki & Suzume vs. Shoko Nakajima & Kaya Toribami
Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Arisu Endo vs. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will begin at 11:30 PM ET/8:30 PM PT. The stream is scheduled to launch at 11 PM ET/8 PM PT.

8:26 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now…

We are LIVE from Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Looks on the small side for the venue, the ringside seats around the venue aren’t close to full and the “super seats” didn’t sell out in advance. Some fans may still be filing in but I’m going to estimate 175-200, which for these weekend events at the venue is on the low side.

The matches should begin in 15-20 minutes. During opening announcements, the first Up Up Girls solo event in over 4 years was announced. It will be next Saturday (6/10) at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and will feature 3 matches. No live broadcast.

The matches begin at 8:43 PM PT. Looks like hard camera only today.

Match 1: Moka Miyamoto vs. Shino Suzuki. 15 minute time limit
Result: Moka Miyamoto beat Shino Suzuki by submission

Match 2: Yuki Kamifuku vs. Toga. 15 minute time limit
Result: Yuki Kamifuku beat Toga

Match 3: Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Wakana Uehara vs. Mahiro Kiryu, Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo. 20 minute time limit
Result: Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Wakana Uehara beat Mahiro Kiryu, Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo. Kakuta beat Kazashiro with an arm & neck choke.

Match 4: Hyper Misao vs. HIMAWARI. 15 minute time limit
Result: Hyper Misao beat HIMAWARI

Match 5: Mizuki & Suzume vs. Shoko Nakajima & Kaya Toribami. 20 minute time limit
Result: Mizuki & Suzume beat Shoko Nakajima & Kaya Toribami. Mizuki pinned Toribami after a diving foot stomp.

Main Event: Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Arisu Endo vs. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku. 20 minute time limit
Result: Time Limit Draw

After the main event, Endo issued a challenge to Tatsumi for the International Princess Championship. But so did Aino. So it will be Aino-Endo for the next title shot on 6/11 with the winner getting to face Tatsumi, probably on 7/8 at SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23.

The next event, not counting the Up Up Girls one announced today, is “STICK OUT ’23” on 6/11 at Korakuen Hall. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese and English will begin on 6/10 at 10 PM ET/7 PM PT.

UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 194.

DDT 6/3/23 Results

DDT ran the latest Yokohama Unlimited event today, the third in a new series of seemingly monthly standalone house shows in Yokohama.

Today’s event was held at Yokohama Radiant Hall in Yokohama and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The announced paid attendance was 189, a full house/near sellout.

There were a few last-minute changes to the card because Masa Takanashi was pulled due to a fever. Also, Chris Brookes appeared before the event began to provide an update on his shoulder injury (dislocated shoulder). He expects to be out another month, saying he will return on 7/7 at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo.

Match 1: Yuya Koroku beat Kazuma Sumi. This was to have been Takeshi Masada vs. Sumi but Masada was moved to the main event as a replacement for Takanashi.

Match 2: Yuki Iino & Danshoku Dieno beat Antonio Honda & Rukiya. Iino beat Honda. This was to have been a handicap match but Koroku was moved to the first match to replace Masada.

Match 3: Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani beat Yusuke Okada & Yuki Ishida. Okatani pinned Ishida with a double arm suplex.

Match 4: Sanshiro Takagi & Akito beat Yuki Ueno & Yuni. Takagi beat Yuni with a Texas cloverleaf.

Match 5: MAO & Mei Suruga (Chocolate Pro Wrestling) beat Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata. Suruga pinned Hirata after Comet.

Match 7: Tetsuya Endo & Jun Akiyama beat HARASHIMA & Takao Soma. Endo pinned Soma after Burning Star Press.

Main Event: Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi beat Kazusada Higuchi & Takeshi Masada. Hino beat Masada with a King Kong sleeper. Brookes apparently watched this match at ringside so message sent by Hino.

The next event is a Japan Para-Wrestling Federation Co-Promoted Charity Event tomorrow at Odawara Sub Arena in Kanagawa, where all disabled (physically or mentally) fans and children under 18 will receive free admission. There will be no live broadcast.

Ganbare Pro 6/3/23 Results (Updated)

Ganbare Pro is running their latest event today, which is Moeka Haruhi’s final appearance before she steps away to donate one of her kidneys to her sister in a potential life-saving operation. The full results are now below

Today’s event is being held at Takashimadaira Community Center in Tokyo and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date (likely some time next week). There is no live broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 131.

Match 3: Moeka Haruhi Farewell For Now Match: Moeka Haruhi, HARUKAZE & Yoshiko Hasegawa beat Rina Amikura, YuuRi & Reala. Haruhi pinned YuuRI after a diving foot stomp. Which led to…
Impromptu Match: Moeka Haruhi won a 15 person battle royal, last eliminating Reala.

Haruhi said her farewell for now after all this. But when she and her sister are healthy again, she (and possibly they) will be back. All the best wishes to Haruhi and her sister.

After this, Sayaka Unagi appeared. Unagi vs. Reala was added to 7/9 at Ota City General Gym.

Match 4: Takao Soma & Takuya Wada beat Shuichiro Katsumura & Shota. Wada pinned Katsumura.

The next event is a Ganbare Women event on 6/17 at GEN Sports Palace in Tokyo. Broadcast plans TBA.

Injury Report: Last-Minute DDT Changes For Tomorrow

DDT has just announced a last-minute change to tomorrow’s Yokohama Unlimited Vol. 3 event (in a few hours US time): Masa Takanashi is now off. Fever. He was to have teamed with Kazusada Higuchi to face Makoto Oishi & Yuji Hino in the main event. Takeshi Masada is the replacement. Masada was to have faced Kazuma Sumi in the first match. Yuya Koroku is the replacement there. Koroku was to have teamed with Antonio Honda & Rukiya vs. Danshoku Dieno & Yuki Iino in a handicap match. That’s now a tag match.

It’s not known if Takanashi will miss any time past today-he is not scheduled for any other DDT events for at least another week so he probably will not unless it’s determined to be coronavirus (his next DDT appearance is TBA but right now it’s looking to be at least 10-11 days out).

Dragon Gate 6/2/23 Results (Updated)

Dragon Gate continued the Rainbow Gate 2023 Tour today with the second half of the opening Tokyo doubleheader.

Impact Wrestling 6/1/23 Results

Here are the quick results from tonight’s Impact Wrestling in London, Ontario, Canada:

This episode was taped Saturday and is the fallout from Friday’s Under Siege event.

The YouTube pre-show match was Brian Myers vs. Tyler Tirva. On a side note, for YouTube Ultimate Insiders you can now watch the full replay of Rebellion on demand as it was added for subscribers earlier today.

Under Siege highlights package at the start focused on the Knockouts Title match. (Reportedly Jordynne Grace is now a free agent and may be done with Impact. She’s never really worked in the same place as her husband, Jonathan Gresham)

Bully Ray opens the show. With microphone. He puts himself over and states his intent to win the 8-4-1 match at Against All Odds and get an Impact World Title shot at Slammiversary (the 8-4-1 match starts as an 8-man tag, but the winning team then faces themselves in a 4-way and the winner is the #1 contender to the Impact World Championship). That last comment brings out Steve Maclin. With microphone.. Maclin says he allowed Bully to powerbomb Scott D’Amore through the flaming table at Under Siege. Bully disagrees before doing an about-face. Maclin hinted at perhaps them becoming a tag team and taking over. This brought out Motor City Machine Guns. Bully & Alex Shelley went back & forth until Maclin stepped in. All this led to Chris Sabin proposing a tag match between them for tonight. Bully accepts…but not tonight. Subculture then comes out. They say if Bully & Maclin won’t take the match, they will. Shelley agrees.

Jimmy Jacobs interviews Nick Aldis.

Match 1: Eddie Edwards beat Yuya Uemura. After the match, Frankie Kazarian came out. With microphone. He took issue with Edwards disrespecting Uemura (also note a lot of Alisha Edwards interference in the match). Kazarian laid out Edwards and when Alisha tried to interfere she got laid out too.

Match 2: Sami Callihan & Jake Crist beat Decay. Callihan pinned Crazzy Steve after a Crist cutter. Almost a borderline squash based on match time (short). Afterwards, The Design hit the ring for the beatdown on Callihan & Crist until Rich Swann made the save.

Callihan & Swann argue backstage. No Swann in Callihan’s corner for Against All Odds.

Match 3: Trinity beat Savannah Evans by submission. With microphone afterwards. She wasted no time calling out Deonna Purrazzo. Purrazzo comes out. Trinity asks for the title shot at Slammiversary in July. Purrazzo accepts. But then Evans & Gisele Shaw attack both from behind. Jai Vidal lays out Purrazzo with a loaded purse and Shaw uses it on Trinity as she attacks Evans. SHaw taunts Trinity and teases another cheap shot but Jordynne Grace makes the save. At least until another purse shot to the back of the head from Shaw. Shaw hits a big knee strike to the head of Grace and then follows with a second. And a third. (Is this the official write-off for Grace if she’s really done with Impact?)

Commentary says doctors are checking on Grace but her condition doesn’t look good.

Match 4: Jody Threat beat Dani Luna.

During the prior match, it’s made official-Purrazzo vs. Trinity for the Impact Knockouts Championship at Slammiversary.

Joe Hendry & Santino talk Dirty Dango. Santino is about to make a match but Kenny King & Sheldon Jean interrupt. King suggests making a match so Santino makes Jean-Hendry for next week. Probably a NON-TITLE match. Then Santino says at Against All Odds it’s Hendry vs. Dango for the Impact Digital Media Championship. Santino believes in Joe Hendry.

Replay of Masha Slamovich-Killer Kelly fight from Under Siege. Kelly promo. They’ll fight in a Dog Collar Match next week at Against All Odds. Also set for the event is Chris Sabin vs. Trey Miguel for the X Division Championship, Eddie Edwards vs. Frankie Kazarian, Shaw/Evans vs. Trinity/Purrazzo and Impact Tag Team Champions Ace Austin & Chris Bey vs. The Good Hands for the title and the 8-4-1 match and Impact World Champion Steve Maclin vs. Alex Shelley for the title.

Main Event: Motor City Machine Guns beat Subculture. Chris Sabin pinned Flash Morgan Webster after Dark Bomb.

Next week: Impact Knockouts Tag Team Champions The Coven vs. Death Dollz for the titles and Moose & Rich Swann vs. Nick Aldis & Jonathan Gresham. This will be the go-home for Against All Odds which is live next Friday on Impact+, YouTube for Ultimate Insiders & FITE.
