New Japan 12/2/24 Results

New Japan continued the World Tag League today with the penultimate day of Block A.

Today’s event was held at Kochi Prefectural Gym in Kochi and can be watched on demand on New Japan World.

The announced paid attendance was 941.

Pre-show match: Shoma Kato beat Daiki Nagai.

Match 1; Jacob Austin Young, HENARE & Great-O-Khan beat Gedo, Tome & Stevie Filip. HENARE beat Gedo with Ultima.

Match 2: DOUKI, TAKA Michinoku & Taichi beat Kosei Fujita, Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls. TAKA pinned NIcholls after Heavy Killer 1.

Match 3: Tiger Mask, Boltin Oleg & Toru Yano beat Katsuya Murashima, Jado & Hiroshi Tanahashi. Oleg pinned Murashima after Kamikaze.

Match 4: BUSHI, Hiromu Takahashi & Tetsuya Naito beat Dick Togo, Ren Narita & EVIL. Takahashi beat Togo with Maxiimum The Holding 3rd Form.

World Tag League Block A:
Match 5: Chase Owens & KENTA beat Tomoaki Honma & Shota Umino. Owens pinned Honda after a package piledriver.
Match 6: SANADA & Gabriel Kidd beat Ryusuke Taguchi & Alex Zayne. SANADA pinned Taguchi after Deadfall.
Match 7: Hirooki Goto & YOSHI-HASHI beat Callum Newman & Jeff Cobb. YOSHI-HASHI pinned Newman after Shoto.
Math Event: Yota Tsuji & Shingo Takagi beat Ryohei Oiwa & Zack abre Jr. Tsuji pinned Oiwa after Pumping Blaster.

With one match left, there are now 3 tied for first at 4-2, 8 points-Kidd/SANADA, Tsuji/Takagi and, to many foreign fans’ dismay, Bishamon (the 4-peat bid remains alive). The other teams are eliminated (Owens/KENTA and Newman/Cobb mathematically have chances but lose all tiebreakers). The top 2 advance to the Semifinals. The final day’s matches set up like this: Bishamon-Kidd/SANADA means the winner (if there is one) advances, If it’s a draw, then if Takagi/Tsuji lose both advance. Takagi/Tsuji have Honma/Umino and would also advance with a win. In a 3-way tiebreaker between the top 3, it would most likely be Bishamon & Tsuji/Takagi advancing.

The next event is Wednesday at Karatsu City Gym in Saga with the penultimate day of Block B. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin at 1:30 AM PT/4:30 AM ET.

BREAKING: Stardom Suspends, Punishes Thekla

Following her actions post-match at yesterday’s Stardom event, where she beat down everyone in range and not just wrestlers, Thekla has been given the following punishment due to assaulting management: A 3 WEEK SUSPENSION WITHOUT PAY, AND a $2000 fine (this apparently is in addition to the suspension). That means she is out until the 12/22 event. The staffer was hospitalized but diagnosed with only bruising and is out a week. He didn’t want Thekla to be punished but because it wasn’t negligence on his part and it was an intentional attack, plus President Taro Okada has a vendetta against Thekla and H.A.T.E., it was decided on. The social media war has started already.

More as it becomes available.

The top 2 in each block advance to the Semifinals. Only the Saitos have done so, going a perfect 6-0. They are finished going to the final day. In Block A, If Sekimoto/Mashimo win their final match (Hayato/Anzai), they will advance. If Hayato/Anzai win, they advance only if Omori/Kumaarashi lose (Oishi/Vecchio). If Omori/Kuamarashi win, they need Hayato/Anzai to win to advance on tiebreakers. In Block B, Miyahara/Smith advance with a win or draw (Cyrus/Jackson). Suwama/Suzuki will advance with a win (Sato/Miyamoto) because of tiebreakers (they beat Honda/Ayabe & Cyrus/Jackson). Cyrus/Jackson must win and Suwama/Suzuki must lose or draw to advance.Honda/Ayabe advance is Suwama/Suzuki and Cyrus Jackson both lose or draw. They have the tiebreaker over Miyahara/Smith. A 4-way tie if it happens will be complicated.

The next event is Thursday at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo. Live streaming on AJPW.TV will begin at 1;30 AM PT/4:30 AM ET.

Stardom 12/1/24 LIVE Results

Stardom wraps up the preliminary round of the Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Tournament today, and there is a lot at stake in these final matches. The top 3 in each block advance but only the winners go to the Semifinals, the other 2 teams must face off in an elimination match for that second spot. In the Red Block, Hazuki & Koguma will win and advance to the Semifinals and Maika & HANAKO will finish 2nd because of tiebreakers (their only loss so far is to Hazuki & Koguma) but that leaves 3rd and who they will face up for grabs and it’s wide open. Plus Maika & HANAKO can play spoiler by keeping Tam Nakano & Sayaka Kurara possibly out of 3rd by beating them. Beyond that it’ll all but come down to tiebreakers. In the Blue Block, Saori Anou & Natsupoi will win and advance to the Semifinals but 4 teams have a chance at the other two spots. Mei Seira & Cohaku unfortunately had their last match yesterday (they did their part and won) so they can only hope tiebreakers may go their way. Momo Watanabe & Thekla face Hanan & Saya Iida in perhaps the most critical match, both must win and, in the latter’s case, hope that Ranna Yagami & Lady C can somehow pull another upset and beat Starlight Kid & Suzu Suzuki. It’s all but going to come down to tiebreakers and draws will be a factor. Buckle up for a wild ride.

Today’s event will be held at Duo Cerezo in Niigata and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World. There will be no commentary. There are 8 matches scheduled and probably will be an intermission at some point so I anticipate this match will have a running time of about 2 1/2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Mayu Iwatani & Momo Kohgo vs. Ranna Yagami & Matoi Hamabe
Natsupoi vs. Mei Seira & Rina in a 3-way
Goddess Of Stardom Tag League:
Red Block:
Maika & HANAKO vs. Tam Nakano & Sayaka Kurara
Syuri & Saki Kashima vs. Natsuko Tora & Ruaka (Main Event)
AZM & Miyu Amasaki vs. Konami & Saya Kamitani
Blue Block:
Hanan & Saya Iida vs. Momo Watanabe & Thekla
Yuna Mizumori & Aya Sakura vs. Waka Tsukiyama & Rian
Starlight Kid & Suzu Suzuki vs. Ranna Yagami & Lady C

8 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Duo Cerezo in Niigata, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced later today or tomorrow. The venue normally is used for weddings so it’s a small setup but looks full or close to it. Not having seen live events here before I’m going to guess the setup is for maybe 400, whatever it’s for the number should be close to a sellout. (Not a legit sellout, at the end I saw rows of empty seats but all towards the back and only 2-3 rows) (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 426)

Match card order announcement. Syuri/Saki Kashima vs. Natsuko Tora/Ruaka in the Red Block will be today’s main event.

The matches begin at 8:05 PM PT/11:05 PM ET.

Match 1: Mayu Iwatani & Momo Kohgo vs. Ranna Yagami & Matoi Hamabe. 15 minute time limit
Result: Ranna Yagami & Matoi Hamabe beat Mayu Iwatani & Momo Kohgo. Yagami beat Kohgo. First career win for Hamabe!

Result: Yuna Mizumori & Aya Sakura beat Waka Tsukiyama & Rian. Sakura beat Tsukiyama with an armbar.
Mizumori & Sakura finish 3-5, 6 points. Tsukiyama & Rian finish 2-6, 4 points.

The YouTube broadcast ends here.

Match 3: Natsupoi vs. Mei Seira & Rina in a 3-way. 15 minute time limit
Result: Natsupoi beat Mei Seira & Rina in a 3-way by pinning Rina.

Match 4: Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Red Block: Maika & HANAKO vs. Tam Nakano & Sayaka Kurara. 20 minute time limit. Maika & HANAKO will finish 2nd and advance to the elimination match. Nakano & Kurara must win to have any chance to finish 3rd & advance to a rematch.
Result: Maika & HANAKO beat Tam Nakano & Sayaka Kurara. HANAKO pinned Kurara.
Maika & HANAKO finish 7-1, 14 points. Nakano & Kurara finish 3-5, 6 points and need miracles to advance, meaning no contests to come and tiebreakers.

Match 5: Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Blue Block: Starlight Kid & Suzu Suzuki vs. Ranna Yagami & Lady C. 20 minute time limit. Kid & Suzuki must win or draw-just get points-to advance to the elimination match because there are no clear tiebreakers right now due to their matches against both teams being draws.
Result: Starlight Kid & Suzu Suzuki beat Ranna Yagami & Lady C. Kid pinned C.
Kid & Suzuki finish 4-1-3, 11 points. Yagami & C finish 2-6, 4 points.
As a result, Kid & Suzuki will finish either 2nd or 3rd and advance to the elimination match against the winner of Momo Watanabe & Thekla vs. Hanan & Saya IIda.

Match 6: Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Red Block: AZM & Miyu Amasaki vs. Konami & Saya Kamitani. 20 minute time limit. Both must win to have any chance of advancing and if one team (or both) earns a point, Tam Nakano & Sayaka Kurara are eliminated. (That would also officially eliminate Mayu Iwatani & Momo Kohgo as their only hope is long-shot tiebreakers)
Result: Time Limit Draw. 1 point for each.
Both finish 3-4-1, 7 points and must wait for the main event to determine what will happen. They’re going to need a no contest or some kind of zero points for both scenario to have any chance. This makes tiebreakers very unclear. If one of the main event teams win, both are eliminated. As a result, Tam Nakano & Sayaka Kurara are now eliminated. Mayu Iwatani & Momo Kohgo are also officially eliminated.

Intermission.

The matches resume at 10 PM PT/1 AM ET.

Match 7: Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Blue Block: Hanan & Saya Iida vs. Momo Watanabe & Thekla. 20 minute time limit. The winner will finish 3rd and advance to the elimination match. If it’s a draw, Watanabe & Thekla will advance. If it’s a no contest or scenario where both teams get no points, Mei Seira & Cohaku will advance on tiebreakers.
Result: Hanan & Saya Iida beat Momo Watanabe & Thekla by countout.
Both finish 4-3-1, 9 points. But because of this result, Hanan & Iida will finish 3rd and advance to the elimination match against Suzuki & Kid. The winneres will face Natsupoi & Saori Anou in the Semifinals. Watanabe & Thekla are out and now will almost certainly defend the Goddesses Of Stardom Championship against the eventual tournament winners. Thekla beat down both afterwards, possibly knocking out both.

Main Event: Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Red Block: Syuri & Saki Kashima vs. Natsuko Tora & Ruaka. 20 minute time limit. If there is a winner, they will advance. If it’s a draw or no contest/no points scenario, it goes to complicated tiebreakers.
Result: Natsuko Tora & Ruaka beat Syuri & Saki Kashima. Tora pinned Syuri.
Tora & Ruaka finish 4-4, 8 points. Syuri & Kashima finish 3-5, 6 points.
As a result, Tora & Ruaka finish 3rd and advance to the elimination match to face Maika & HANAKO. The winner of that match will face Hazuki & Koguma in the Semifinals. Maika & HANAKO immediately came out after the match. Hanan & Iida also came back out despite the H.A.T.E. beatdown after they beat Kamitani & Konami, as did Kid & Suzuki. Basically everyone except Hazuki & Koguma who presumably were not here today. Short promo by Tora. Afterwards everyone left except Kid, who scrambled for the microphone to send the crowd home happy.

The elimination matches and Semifinals are Saturday at Act City Hamamatsu Event Hall Block 2 in Shizuoka. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin at 1 AM PT/4 AM ET.

Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling “TJPW 11th Birthday” LIVE Results (12/1/24)

Tokyo Joshi Pro celebrates their 11th birthday/anniversary today with an event in Tokyo on the day they began as a DDT sub-brand in 2013, and appropriately this kicks off a doubleheader with DDT following. The event will also feature a title match main event as, after winning the NEXGENE Tournament in a bit of an upset, Haru Kazashiro earned a title shot of her choice and chose the Princess Tag Team Championship with Toga, who she beat to win the tournament, so they will face current champions Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh for the titles headlining the card. The likely semi-final match features all the Up Up Girls together in an 8-woman tag.
The promotion has already announced that Pom Harajuku will miss the event due to having competed in Thailand today, where she won the SETUP Thailand All-Asia Women’s Championship for her first career championship. I’m sure Max The Impaler is very proud of Pom too!

Today’s event will be held at Club eX in Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. The event is a legit advance sellout. There will be no commentary. With 6 matches and a bit of a time limit due to DDT following them I don’t see this event running longer than the potential limit if everything went the distance, meaning it should be just under 2 hours. The longest it could go is just over 2 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Rika Tatsumi vs. Kaya Toribami & Chika Nanase in a 3-way
Moka Miyamoto vs. Kira Summer
Hyper Misao & Neko Haruna vs. Mahiro Kiryu & HIMAWARI
Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara vs. Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino
Miu Watanabe, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami vs. Mizuki, Suzume, Arisu Endo & Yoshiko Hasegawa
Princess Tag Team Champions Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh vs. Haru Kazashiro & Toga for the titles

6:15 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in about 15 minutes.

6:30 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Club eX in Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. It’s a legit advance sellout so it will depend on the setup which I’m thinking will be 450-500. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 333, a legit advance sellout. A smaller setup than anticipated)

The matches should begin in about 10 minutes. During the opening announcements one match was announced for 1/4 at Korakuen Hall, which is Shoko Nakajima vs. Hyper Misao. Must be a tradition because it’s happening on that date for the 6th straight year. Then a new trainee was introduced (a foreigner). She spoke pretty good Japanese though. Then she spoke in English-she is originally from Manchester, England. When DDT hopefully posts more on their website a little later I’ll edit this with more about her. And they already have…Her name is Ivy Steele, she is 25 and currently is an exchange student. She will be changing her ring name, possibly to her original ring name FiFi. She has been wrestling for almost 7 years (debuted in February 2018) and attended & passed the TJPW fall auditions. Her TJPW debut will be on 12/14 at Yokohama Radiant Hall in Yokohama.

The matches begin at 6:50 PM PT/9:50 PM ET.

Match 5: Miu Watanabe, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami vs. Mizuki, Suzume, Arisu Endo & Yoshiko Hasegawa. 20 minute time limit
Result: Mizuki, Suzume, Arisu Endo & Yoshiko Hasegawa beat Miu Watanabe, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami. Mizuki pinned Suzuki with Cutie Special. Mizuki promo post-match, if anything of note I’ll edit later as I began simulcasting a Stardom live broadcast so audio was muted. (Update: Princess Of Princess Championship challenge. That match will happen on 1/4 at Korakuen Hall)

Main Event: Princess Tag Team Champions Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh vs. Haru Kazashiro & Toga for the titles. 30 minute time limit
Result: Princess Tag Team Champions Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh beat Haru Kazashiro & Toga to retain the titles. Itoh beat Kazashiro with Itoh Punish/Deluxe/Whatever. V2 for the champs. Next up: TBA but Yamashita issued an open challenge for 1/4/
