Pro Wrestling NOAH “DEATHTINY” LIVE Results (11/17/24) (Updated)

Today is a date with DEATHTINY…for the last time as Pro Wrestling NOAH hosts the retirement event for 30-year-plus veteran Akitoshi Saito in his homwtown. The respected veteran has been in NOAH full-time since 2009 but has competed there since the beginning through the best and worst of times…he was in the ring when the death of NOAH founder and Japanese icon Mitsuharu Misawa happened (after taking Saito’s finisher Misawa suffered a medical emergency and was left paralyzed, he died soon after) but carried on and honored Misawa’s memory, and today he’ll participate in one final match against current NOAH icon Naomichi Marufuji. Surprisingly it’s probably not the main event-that may be a GHC Heavyweight Championship match as Kaito Kiyomiya defends the title against Takashi Sugiura. Both the GHC Junior Heavyweight and Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships will be defended too, but this event is all about mid-50-something (actually 59) Saito and his farewell to a career that began way back in 1990.

Today’s event will be held at Aichi Prefectural Gym in Nagoya and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in English. This is a live ABEMA exclusive broadcast in Japan so the UNIVERSE version will be edited/clipped, but the full version should be available on demand after the event. You will also be able to watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube. I’m gonna try to make it through the whole event as I expect it to be blowout level with a running time of close to 4 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., Galeno Del Mal & Alpha Wolf vs. Junta Miyawaki, Yu Owada & Daiki Odashima
Mohammed Yone, Shuhei Taniguchi, AMAKUSA & Hitoshi Kumano vs. Anthony Greene, LJ Cleary, Eita & Harutoki
Kenoh, Alejandro & Kai Fujimura vs. Go Shiozaki, Atsushi Kotoge & Hajime Ohara
Ulka Sasaki vs. Jack Morris
Manabu Soya & Kazuyuki Fujita vs. Masa Kitamiya & Shuji Kondo
GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions YO-HEY & HAYATA vs. Tadasuke & Yuto Kikuchi for the titles
GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion Daga vs. Dragon Bane for the title
Akitoshi Saito Retirement Match: Akitoshi Saito vs. Naomichi Marufuji
GHC Heavyweight Champion Kaito Kiyomiya vs. Takashi Sugiura for the title

Updates below will begin at 10 PM PT/1 AM ET. The WRESTLE UNIVERSE stream is scheduled to begin at 9:45 PM PT/12:45 AM ET and the YouTube broadcast is scheduled to begin at 9:50 PM PT/12:50 AM ET.

9:45 PM PT UPDATE: The WRESTLE UNIVERSE stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in about 15 minutes.

9:50 PM PT UPDATE: The YouTube broadcast is now live. It is a simulcast of the ABEMA broadcast and is in Japanese.

10 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Aichi Prefectural Gym in Nagoya, Japan. English commentary will start in a few minutes.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Setup is for maybe 60-65% capacity (the venue’s full capacity, primarily for sumo, is 7500) but from the early shot the trend of what appears to be not good big event crowds outside Korakuen Hall is going to continue. I see a lot of empty sears especially on the lower level. Admittedly hoping for at least 2000 but that could be a stretch, just too much happening in west Japan with the New Japan/Stardom Crossover event in Osaka and the Grand Sumo Tournament in Fukuoka. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1788)

The matches begin at 10:05 PM PT/1:05 AM ET. Your hosts are Stewart (BANG!) Fulton & Mark Pickering.

Main Event: GHC Heavyweight Champion Kaito Kiyomiya vs. Takashi Sugiura for the title. 1 Hour time limit
Result: GHC Heavyweight Champino Kaito Kiyomiya beat Takashi Sugiura to retain the title. V6 for Kiyomiya. Kiyomiya had ALL REBELLION join him for the show-ending promo, but at the end Taishi Ozawa turned on Kiyomiya and laid him out with his crutch as Team 2000X hit the ring for the heel beatdown. Ozawa has officially defected and turned heel. A shocking ending.

The next event is MONDAY MAGIC Season 3 Episode 4 Monday at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 2 AM PT/5 AM ET.

UPDATE: Right before the WRESTLE UNIVERSE live stream ended, Sugiura post-match backstage comments with Marufuji were interrupted by Wagner Jr. & Del Mal, who made a GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Championship challenge.

Sumo-November 2024 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 7 Results (11/16/24) (Top 2 Tiers)

Here are the quick results from today’s Day 7 of the November 2024 Grand Sumo Tournament in Fukuoka:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, J-Juryo, Ms-Makushita

Makuuchi (top tier):
Tamashoho (J4) beat Bushozam (M17) by default/withdrawal
Takerufuji (M16) beat Onokatsu (M15)
Chiyoshoma (M14) beat Shishi (M16)
Shonannoumi (M13) beat Asakoryu (M17)
Nishikifuji (M14) beat Sadanoumi (M12)
Hokutofuji (M12) beat Tokihayate (M15)
Takarafuji (M10) beat Ryuden (M13)
Meisei (M11) beat Ichiyamamoto (M10)
Tamawashi (M11) bat Midorifuji (M9)
Roga (M8) beat Takayasu (M9)
Endo (M7) beat Gonoyama (M8)
Takanosho (M6) beat Mitakeumi (M7)
Tobizaru (M5) beat Nishikigi (M6)
Kotoshoho (M5) beat Churanoumi (M4)
Oshoma (M4) beat Wakatakakage (M2)
Wakamotoharu (K) beat Oho (M1)
Daieisho (S) beat Hiradoumi (M1)
Kirishima (S) beat Shodai (K)
Onosato (O) beat Ura (M2)
Abi (M3) beat Hoshoryu (O)
Kotozakura (O) beat Atamifuji (M2)
Leader: 4 at 6-1
WITHDRAWAL: Bushozan (M17). Left knee injury suffered yesterday. Status uncertain. Tamashoho got the fusen as a result. If Bushozan can’t return tomorrow or Monday he will be demoted back to Juryo.
Of note: Somehow Mitakeumi was able to compete after being stretchered out yesterday with left shoulder and hip injuries following a hard landing at the end of his match, but after the initial charge it was clear he was in no shape to compete and Takanosho won by essentially a walkover. Never doubt the fighting spirit and desire to compete but he should withdraw and take the tough demotion even though he was 5-1 coming in to today. We’ll see what happens. If Mitakeumi does pull out this time the fusen tomorrow would go to Takayasu. And Happy 40th birthday Tamawashi! The Iron Man celebrated the Over The Hill milestone with an impressive win over Midorifuji and still is showing no signs of slowing down. Elsewhere, the remaining unbeatsns all lost today. Abi all but clinched Outstanding Performance Prize if eligible with a second win over Ozeki as he flash slapped down Hoshoryu, which allowed Kotozakura to pull back into a tie for the lead and Onosato to move one off the lead. Surprise co-leader Onokatsu took his first loss to Takerufuji.
No more Juryo men up starting tomorrow due to the Bushozan withdrawal.

Juryo:
Wakaikari (J13) beat Chiyomaru (J11)
Tochitaikai (J12) beat Aonishiki (J11)
Kotoeiho (J13) beat Fujiseiun (J10)
Oshoumi (J14) beat Daieisho (J9)
Daiseizan (J12) beat Daiamami (J9)
Mitoryu (J8) beat Nabatame (J14)
Tsurugisho (J7) beat Onosho (J10)
Hidenoumi (J7) beat Hakuyozan (J8)
Shiden (J6) beat Kayo (J3)
Shirokuma (J3) beat Tomokaze (J5)
Kagayaki (J2) beat Hakuoho (J2)
Kinbozan (J1) beat Shimazuumi (J5)
Shimanoumi (J4) beat Kitanowaka (J1)
Leader: Oshoumi (7-0)
Of note: The story continues. Oshoumi remains the sole leader and, having surpassed his win total from September now, is just one win from being lucky to remain in Juryo to promotion. Some upsets thinned the ranks below him down to 3 at 6-1, with Kinbozan among them and 2 wins from promotion back to the top tier. along with Tsurugisho & Tochitaikai. At the bottom, Chiyomaru’s return to Juryo apparently will be brief, as he is now one loss from demotion at 0-7. Anything worse than 6-9 probably will send him back to Makushita.

Lower tier notes:
Today was the start of Promotion Day, where the division leaders go to 4-0 and clinch promotions for the next tournament. In the Makushita, 3 got there today with the remaining 8 3-0s getting their shot tomorrow. In the Sandanme, Enho was among 4 who to go to 4-0, so that will be a third straight promotion in the comeback. He still needs more wins to have a chance to get back to Makushita in January. 13 more 3-0 wrestlers are up tomorrow for their chance. In the Jonidan, 6 have clinched promotions so far with 9 to go tomorrow, and in the Jonokuchi only one of the 3 unbeatens competed today and won so for now Tamaki is the only 4-0 there.

Reminder: NHK World Japan will have 50 minutes of LIVE top tier coverage FOR FREE tomorrow beginning at 12:10 AM PT/3:10 AM ET.

A new wrestler is also slated to debut today, currently named Matoi (ring name TBA at a later date) following an exhibition practice appearance at a recent event. The main event will likely be a New Blood Tag Team Championship match as Rina & Azusa Inaba, who are also in this year’s Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Tournament, defend the titles against Ranna Yagami & Lady C.

Today’s event will be held at Osaka Azalea Taisho in Osaka and can be watched LIVE FOR FREE only on YouTube. It will not be available live on Stardom World. There will be no commentary.

I’m not too familiar with the capacity but from what I know about the past I’ll guess it’ll be around that 200 figure.

Match 2: Mei Seira & Miyu Amasaki vs. Yuna Mizumori & Momoka Hanazono (Independent/Freelancer). And some kind of bubble machine with Hanazono. 20 minute time limit

At the end, when both rikishi fell out of the ring, Mitakeumi landed hard in his left shoulder/upper arm and could not move. He had to be loaded onto a gurney and taken out on a stretcher. If he can’t complete tomorrow, Takanosho will get the fusen. Let’s just hope it’s not serious because Mitakeumi was off to a great start at 5-1 after today. After taking his first loss today, a freebie would put Takanosho at 6-1 and keep him potentially just one off the lead or maybe put him back into a tie for the lead. Kirishima’s first win also saw him potentially get injured, it appears his foot/ankle bent quite awkwardly at the end of his match, he was limping a bit afterwards so we’ll see what happens there. At 1-5 his Ozeki hopes this time are gone. Elsewhere, Onosato has now lost 2 losses after taking a second straight loss to Wakatakakage, who beat him in September. He’s got the always-unpredictable Ura tomorrow. The other Ozeki are back in top form so far as Hoshoryu is a co-leader at 6-0 while Kotozakura is 5-1. Kotozakura has Atamifuji tomorrow while Hoshoryu has Abi finishing up his Ozeki rounds-a win could make Abi a leading contender for the Outstanding Performance Award if eligible.

Leader: Oshoumi (6-0)
WITHDRAWAL: Tohakuryu (J6). Unknown. Status uncertain. Hidenoumi got the fusen as a result. Already out for tomorrow, if he can’t return he would finish the equivalent of 2-13 and probably be demoted to Makushita (he was 2-3 coming into today).
Of note: Oshoumi somehow got a second chance in Juryo despite going 6-9 at this rank in September, which should have met demotion to Makushita. He’s made the most of it, already matching his September win total and remaining the sole leader. He gets Daishoho tomorrow. At the bottom, Chiyomaru seems headed back to Makushita as in his latest return to Juryo he is now 0-6 after the loss to Onosho, who is 2-4 as he tries to stay in the top 2 tiers. Not looking good either for fellow newcomer Wakaikari who is now 1-5.

Lower tier notes: With his loss as the Makushita man in Juryo today, Obara will be demoted as he is now 0-4, joining Kamito as early Makushita demotions. As Promotion Day begins tomorrow in the lower tiers, the Makushita has 14 at 3-0 so any of those who win over the next 2 days remain tied for the lead and will be promoted. In the Sandanme, no match for Enho today. He’s among 21 tied at 3-0 and will go for promotion tomorrow against Yurikisho, who also is 3-0. The Jonidan has 22 at 3-0 while the Jonokuchi has 3 at 3-0.
