Pro Wrestling NOAH resumed the SUNNY VOYAGE 2022 Tour today, wrapping up their June schedule with the beginning of the build to the next GHC Heavyweight Championship match at the next Nippon Budokan blowout event in mid-July.
Today’s event was held at Yokohama Radiant Hall in Tokohama and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.
The announced paid attendance was 202. Depending on the seating layout, this was probably at least a near-sellout (it’s a very small venue).
There were some last-minute changes to the card as Rene Dupree was announced as being off the card just before event time. The always-vague poor physical condition.
Match 1: Mohammed Yone & Akitoshi Saito beat Atsushi Kotoge & Kinya Okada. Yone pinned Okada after Kinniku Muscle Buster.
Match 2: Simon Gotch beat Daiki Inaba.
Match 3: Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. beat Manabu Soya.
Match 4: Takashi Sugiura, Hideki Suzuki & Timothy Thatcher beat Michael Elgin, Masa Kitamiya & Yoshiki Inamura. Thatcher beat Kitamiya with a Fujiwara armbar.
Match 5: Go Shiozaki beat Shuhei Taniguchi.
Main Event: Satoshi Kojima & Kaito Kiyomiya vs. Kenoh & Katsuhiko Nakajima went to a 30 minute time limit draw.
The next event is 7/2 at Big Palette Fukushima in Fukushima. This event and the two events after that all will be taped for on demand broadcast on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date (this is typically 3 days after the event).
