All-Japan and Pro Wrestling NOAH were part of a special event today celebrating the 70th Anniversary of broadcast network NTV (Nippon Television), a longtime partner and supporter of pro wrestling across their various networks. Crossover matches were part of the event that featured talk segments and more.
Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and aired in Japan on G+ and Hulu. It is not known when/if it may be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE and/or AJPW.TV.
The announced paid attendance was 1625, a legit sellout. That may be the best Korakuen number for any event since the start of the pandemic (they haven’t run legit full capacity, normally 2100 but can be as high as 2350-since 2020).
Match 1; Jun & Rei Saito vs. Saxon Huxley & Timothy Thatcher went to a double countout in 65 seconds. Which led to…
