Pro Wrestling NOAH kicked off the 3rd installment of MONDAY MAGIC today with the first of 5 Monday events in the unpredictable series.
Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.
The paid attendance has not yet been announced but if it wasn’t a legit advance sellout, it was very close. There were no same-day ticket sales at the venue and only a few electronic advance tickets were left. That would suggest, depending on the setup, anywhere between 350-475 (maximum capacity for the venue is 500).
The matches were not announced in advance.
Match 1: Alejandro & Cristobal vs. Junta Miyawaki & Yu Owada went to a 10 minute time limit draw.
Match 2; AMAKUSA beat LJ Cleary.
Match 3; Daga beat Hikaru Sato (All-Japan).
Match 4: Eita, Ulka Sasaki, Huji de Dr. Wagner Jr. & Dragon Bane beat HAYATA, Tadasuke, Anthony Greene & Vinny Massaro. Sasaki beat Tadasuke with Shining Triangle.
Match 5: Kaito Kiyomiya beat Titus Alexander by submission.
Main Event: Kenoh & Yuji Nagata (New Japan) beat Manabu Soya & Masa Kitamiya. Kenoh pinned Kitamiya after Kenoh Special.
Episode 2 is next Monday.
The next event is Sunday at Sendai Pit in Sendai for Akitoshi Saito’s final match in Sendai. There will be no live broadcast.
