Pro Wrestling NOAH wraps up their 2024 today with another LIMIT BREAK ex. event. Like other events in the series, it will mostly focus on crossover matches with other promotions, in particular the ZERO1/REAL ZERO1 promotion. A title match will be the main event as (ZERO1) World Heavyweight Champion Go Shiozaki defends against Junya Matsunaga.
Today’s event will be held at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. There are 6 matches and none will probably have more than a 30 minute time limit, including the title match, so I anticipate the event’s total running time being around 2 hours.
Today’s lineup:
Yu Owada vs. Satsuki Nagao
The Reeve Masks 1 & 2 vs. Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Black Menso-re
Hajime Ohara, Shuhei Taniguchi & Kohei Kinoshita vs. Masato Tanaka, Takuya Sugawara & Yoshikazu Yokoyama
Mohammed Yone & Shuji Ishikawa vs. Kazuyuki Fujita & Koji Doi
Atsushi Kotoge vs. Koji Iwamoto
ZERO1 World Heavyweight Champion Go Shiozaki vs. Junya Matsunaga for the title

6:55 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event. The crowd is sitll filing in and it’s probably the normal smaller-capacity setup (the venue’s normal max capacity is 600), with other events happening now around Tokyo plus seeing a number of empty ringside seats I’ll guess the number will be around 250. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 243)
