New Japan resumed the Road To THE BEW BEGINNING Tour today in Aomori with the start of a handful of non-televised events. It was also the first event since it was announced that EVIL is leaving the promotion (expiring contract) and some wrestlers-namely Taichi-are having a lot of fun with commenting on it.
Today’s event was held at Tsugaru City General Gym in Aomori. There is/was no live or on demand broadcast.
The announced paid attendance was 987.
A Shota Umino & Yuya Uemura talk show event was held before the matches began
Match 1: Kosei Fujita beat Masatora Yasuda.
Match 2: Dick Togo, Yujiro Takahashi & Ren Narita beat Gedo, OSKAR (The Grouch) & Yuto Ice (Ice Baby). Narita beat Gedo with a kneebar.
Match 3: Yuya Henura & Shota Umino beat Zane Jay & Callum Newman. Uemura pinned Jay with a Kannuki suplex hold. (For what it’s worth, Jay has reportedly joined United Empire)
Match 4: In an alienation match, Daiki Nagai, Robbie X, Taiji Ishimori, Hiromu Takahashi & Yota Tsuji beat Jacob Austin Young, Francesco Akira, HENARE, Great-O-Khan & Jake Lee. Tsuji was the only winner left, last eliminating Lee.
Match 5: Hartley Jackson, Ryohei Oiwa & Zack Sabre Jr. beat Tatsuya Matsunoto, YOSHI-HASHI & Hirooki Goto. Oiwa pinned Matsunoto after The Grip.
