New Japan 4/21/23 Results

New Japan continued the Road to WRESTING DONTAKU Tour today with a non-televised house show and more 5/3 developments.

Today’s event was held at Kobe Sambo Hall in Kobe. There was no live broadcast and there is no on demand broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 1251, a legit sellout.

Match 1: Ryohei Oiwa & Shota Umino beat Oskar Leube & Master Wato. Umino beat Leube with STF.

Match 2: Yoh, Togi Makabe, YOSHI-HASHI & Hirooki Goto beat Dick Togo, Sho, Yujiro Takahashi & EVIL. YOSHI-HASHI pinned Togo after Shoto.

Match 3: Francesco Akira, TJP & Aaron Henare beat Kevin Knight, KUSHIDA & Tiger Mask. TJP pinned TM 4 with La Magistral.

Match 4: Great-O-Khan, Jeff Cobb & Aussie Open beat Kosei Fujita, Shane Haste, Mikey Nicholls & Zack Sabre Jr. Khan beat Fujita with Subaru Sheep Killer.

Match 5: Taiji Ishimori, KENTA & David Finlay beat Jado, Hikuleo & Master Wato. Ishimori beat Jado with Bone Lock.

Match 6: Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Ren Narita, El Desperado & Minoru Suzuki beat Tomoaki Honma, Toru Yano, Tomohiro Ishii & Lazuchika Okada. Narita beat Honma with a cobra twist.

Main Event: DOUKI, Yoshinobu Kanemaru, Taichi & SANADA beat BUSHI, Hiromu Takahashi, Shingo Takagi & Tetsuya Naito. Taichi pinned BUSHI after Tensho Cross Phoenix.

The next event is a Hirooki Goto 20th Anniversary event tomorrow at Tsu City Sports Center in Mie. There will be no live broadcast.

The current tour resumes Sunday at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin at 2 AM PT/5 AM ET.

In the 5/3 developing news, Kazuchika Okada has chosen Tomohiro Ishii has one of bis partners for the NEVER 6 Man Tag Team Title match. The other is TBD. I was thinking Hiroshi Tanahashi but his current injury has that being doubtful (Tanahashi suffered a broken rib Saturday and is out for this tour. Status for 5/3 uncertain but he currently is not on the card).
