New Japan Pro Wrestling Music City Mayhem Results (7/30/22)

The US wrestling world, amazingly including WWE, descends on Nashville, TN this weekend for likely the biggest non-WrestleMania weekend of the year. While WWE runs their major SummerSlam event tonight, the focus otherwise is on “Starrcast V”, an entire weekend of independent events, special fan gatherings, podcast tapings and more all centered around the final match in the career of the one & only Ric Flair tomorrow night. New Japan is part of Starrcast with their latest US event today, Music City Mayhem. On paper it seems like a “B show” because all the top talent is in Japan for the ongoing G1 CLIMAX tournament so the show will mainly feature the US-based talent and some of the top Jr. Heavyweights from NJPW and some top All Elite Wrestling names including FTR. 2 title matches are on tap too-Davey Richards will defend the MLW National Championship against Rocky Romero, stepping in because original challenger Clark Connors is out due to injury. Then STRONG Openweight Champion Fred Rosser makes his first defense against Big Damo. The main event is AEW Interim World Champion Jon Moxley vs. El Desperado in a NON-TITLE match, and to make it more fair for the smaller Desperado it’s No DQ.

Today’s event will be held at the Nashville Fairgrounds in Nashville, TN and can be watched LIVE and on demand ONLY ON FITE in English. IT IS NOT AVAILABLE ON NEW JAPAN WORLD. The event is available as a standalone PPV for $14.99 and includes the live broadcast and unlimited on demand replays (you also get unlimited replays if you buy it on demand after the event), or as part of one of the special Starrcast V inclusive bundles that include Ric Flair’s last match tomorrow-these start at $99.99.
If you plan to watch SummerSlam later or any other Starrcast events there should be no conflicts here as I expect this to be a short event, only running about 2 hours. (Post-show note: It went about 2 hours, 40 minutes)

Today’s lineup:
Red Yehi, Yuya Uemura & Shota Umino vs. The DKC, Kevin Knight & Ren Narita
MLW National Champion Davey Richards vs. Rocky Romero for the title
STRONG Openweight Champion Fred Rosser vs. Big Damo for the title
Hiromu Takahashi vs. Blake Christian
FTR & Alex Zayne vs. Aussie Open & TJP
KUSHIDA vs. Alex Shelley
Jon Moxley vs. El Desperado in a No DQ match

Match 6: KUSHIDA vs. Alex Shelley. 20 minute time limit
Result: Time Limit Draw

Main Event: Jon Moxley vs. El Desperado in a No DQ match. No time limit
Result: Jon Moxley beat El Desperado by ref stoppage (technical submission). Afterwards, Moxley with microphone for a promo to send the crowd home happier.

Despite some brief technical issues this was an event that, based on its lineup on paper, really overachieved and was great from start to finish. Every match is worth watching but KUSHIDA-Shelley alone is worth the $15.

End Show.

AEW Rampage 7/29/22 Results (SPOILERS!)

Here are the quick results from tonight’s TAPED AEW Rampage in Worcester, MA (SPOILERS for west feed viewers):
This was again held under the Fight For The Fallen theme from Dynamite this past week, a fundraiser for Oceana.

Best Friends & Orange Cassidy beat Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt & Satnam Singh. Cassidy pinned Dutt after ORange Punch. Supposedly Dutt can’t really wrestle anymore. Singh only came in for one real spot early.

Ethan Page beat Leon Ruffin. Squash.

Claudio Castagnoli promo turns into Wheeler Tuta-Chris Jericho for next week on Dynamite. And it’s for Jericho’s Interim AEW World Title shot the following week.

Lee Moriarty beat Matt Sydal. Stokely Hathaway tried to recruit Moriarty afterwards.

Anna Jay beat Ruby Soho by technical submission.

Another episode I didn’t care for and is mostly skippable except for the Yuta-Jericho stuff and the main event, which at least was decent despite those typical long commercial breaks during ALL Women’s matches.

Next week on Dynamite, in addition to what was announced Wednesday: Cassidy-Lethal, Powerhouse Hobbs squashes a jobber, Jericho-Yuta and The Acclaimed vs. Gunn Club in a Dumpster Match. PERFECT!

Next week: Rampage is LIVE! They also will tape Battle Of The Belts 3 for airing on 8/6, which will feature Castagnoli vs. Konosuke Takeshita for the ROH World Championship.

AEW Dynamite 7/27/22 Results (SPOILERS!)

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Worcester, MA (SPOILERS for west coast viewers!):
Tonight was the annual “Fight For The Fallen” charity fundraiser episode. Unlike in years past, when the fundraisers were for military/veterans’ support organizations, this year’s charity was Oceana, which supports ocean preservation/conservation efforts. There was a Shark Week tie-in for new parent company Discovery with a campaign to ban shark fin trading or similar.

Interim AEW World Champion Jon Moxley beat Rush by ref stoppage to retain the title. Chris Jericho came out post-match to challenge for the title. That match will happen in 2 weeks.

The long-rumored AEW Trios Title is officially announced. A tournament is coming up to crown inaugural champions, wrapping up at All Out.

FTW Champion Ricky Starks beat Danhausen to retain the title. Squash. Starks made another open challenge afterwards. Which led to…
Hook beat FTW Champion Ricky Starks to become THE NEW FTW CHAMPION! Starks promo post-match after commercial interrupted when Powerhouse Hobbs laid out Starks. The promo before the shock ending was FIRE.

Sammy Guevara beat Dante Martin. Martin had Skye Blue in his corner to counter Tay Conti, which spectacularly backfired as the jobber did less than nothing.

Jungle Boy interview & Christian Cage promo. HEAT. This is a must-see.

Swerve Strickland beat Tony Nese & Smart Mark Sterling in a handicap match. Keith Lee was banned from ringside. Post-match, cameras showed Lee laid out backstage, apparently by Josh Woods.

Highlights from last night’s Dark, where Pac successfully defended the AEW All-Atlantic Championship.

AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa beat Miyu Yamashita to retain the title.

Daniel Garcia beat Bryan Danielson by technical submission. Finish set up by interference from Jake Hager, who was hiding under the ring.

AEW will make it’s Canada debut in October with a live Dynamite on 10/12 and a Rampage taping on 10/13, both in Toronto.

Friday on Rampage: Matt Sydal vs. Lee Moriarty, Ethan Page vs. Leon Ruff, Anna Jay vs. Ruby Soho and Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt & Satnam Singh vs. Best Friends.

Next week: Adam Cole is back, Matt Hardy vs. Christian Cage and Thunder Rosa & Toni Storm vs. Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter. More TBA on Rampage.
After Dynamite went off the air, AEW announced NEW ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli will appear on Rampage.

AEW Dynamite 7/20/22 Results (SPOILERS!)

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite from Duluth, GA (SPOILERS for west coast viewers!):

Brody King beat Darby Allin.

Wheeler Yuta & Jon Moxley beat Best Friends. Yuta pinned Chuck Taylor.

Christian Cage & Luchasaurus beat Varsity Blonds. Christian pinned Brian Pillman Jr. Squash. After the match, Jungle Boy returned and Luchasaurus possibly turned on Christian to re-form Jurassic Express with Jungle Boy.

FTW Champion Ricky Starks beat Cole Karter to retain the title. (The FTW Title is not recognized by AEW. Or anyone for that matter, unless their name is Taz)

Jade Cargill & Kiera Hogan beat Willow Nightingale & Athena. Carigll pinned NIghtingale after Jaded. This was to have been Cargill, Hogan & Leila Grey vs. Nightingale, Athena & Kris Statlander but Grey was removed earlier today due to not being medically cleared to compete. Per a pre-match stip he came up with, Stokely Hathaway got to keep one of the 3 opponents out of the match and chose Statlander, who was also banned from ringside.

Chris Jericho beat Eddie Kingston in a Barbed Wire (Almost) Everywhere Death match. Jericho Appreciation Society was suspended in a shark cage above the crowd. At least until Anna Jay turned heel after Tay Conti interfered to fight Ruby Soho, who had the controls to the cage. Long story short, screwjob.

Definitely a big drop off from last week’s show and the main event was a huge letdown. Questionable creative all over the place.

Friday on Rampage: The Butcher & The Blade vs. Adam Page & John Silver, Lee Moriarty vs. Dante Martin, Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter vs. TBA, Max Caster vs. Austin Gunn in a rap battle (Moving On…) and Christopher Daniels vs. Jay Lethal.

Next week: Fight For The Fallen, AEW’s annual charity fundraiser special. AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa vs. Miyu Yamashita (Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling) for the title, Starks vs. Danhausen for the FTW Title and more TBA, which for the most part will be announced Saturday during the Ring Of Honor PPV.

AEW Rampage 7/15/22 Results (SPOILERS!)

ROH World Champion Jonathan Gresham beat Lee Moriarty to retain the title.

Kris Statlander & Athena bet Charlotte & Robyn Renegade. Athena pinned ?. Squash.

Lucha Bros beat Private Party. Rey Fenix pinned Marq Quen after Black Fire Driver.

Not a good show overall. Just an episode that aired.

AEW Dynamite 7/13/22 Results (SPOILERS!)

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Dynamite, featuring Fyter Fest Night 1 (SPOILERS for west coast viewers!):

AEW TNT Champion Wardlow beat Orange Cassidy to retain the title.

Swerve Strickland & Keith Lee beat AEW World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks and Powerhouse Hobbs & Ricky Starks in a 3-way, when Strickland pinned Starks, to become THE NEW AEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!

Next week: Fyter Fest Night 2! Or 3! Brody King vs. Darby Allin, Christian Cage & Luchasaurus vs. Griff Garrison & Brian Pillman Jr. and Eddie Kingston vs. Chris Jericho in a Barbed Wire Everywhere Death Match. Jericho Appreciation Society will be suspended above the ring in a shark cage.

Tokyo Joshi Pro 7/9/22 Results

Tokyo Joshi Pro ran their summer blowout event, SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22, today, featuring All Elite Wrestling participation and, more significantly, a lifting of the ban on vocal cheering by fans for the first time in over 2 years. All 3 titles were on the line to headline the event.

Today’s event was held at Ota City General Gym in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese and English.

The announced paid attendance was 1130. With the vocal ban lifted, that meant 50% capacity max, so this represented about 70-75% of that reduced limit. Your Japanese hosts are Haruo Murata, Kagehiro Osano, Sayoko Mita and special guest Mikie Hara, a former longtime idol/pinup model who is now an actress & entertainer. Your English hosts are Chris Brookes & Baliyan Akki.

Match 1; Moka Miyamoto beat Juria Nagano by submission.

Match 2: Aja Kong, Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku beat Hyper Misao, Nao Kakuta, Neko Haruna & Kaya Toribami. Aino pinned Toribami after Venus DDT.

Match 3: Ryo Mizunami beat Miu Watanabe. This was to have been Willow Nightingale vs. Watanabe but Nightingale missed the event due to visa issues.

Match 4: Hikaru Shida & Hikari Noa beat Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu. Shida pinned Kiryu after Arawashi Driver.

Match 5: Mei Suruga & Suzume beat Riho & Arisu Endo. Suzume pinned Endo after Rong A Bell.

Match 6: Alex Windsor beat International Princess Champion Maki Itoh to win the title. Windsor becomes the 8th International Princess Champion. Hahaha. And even better, Windsor won after reportedly having her luggage lost by her airline. This suggests title will now continue to be defended outside Japan, the original intent for the title.

Match 7: Miyu Yamashita beat Thunder Rosa. OOOOOOOOH…this is not only a big upset, but based on pre-event presser commebts could set up a rematch for Rosa’s AEW Women’s World Championship.

Match 8: Saki Akai & Yuki Arai beat Princess Tag Team Champions Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki to win the titles. Akai & Arai become the 10th Princess Tag Team Champions. Akai pinned Mizuki after Double Rookie Award. To steal the former champs’ catchphrase after wind, HAPPY HAPPY! Not only has SKE48 member Arai won her first championship now, but even better is that bratty Mizuki was pinned. I love it. AA Eye Candy Champions.

Main Event: Princess Of Princess Champion Shoko Nakajima beat Rika Tatsumi to retain the title. V4 for Nakajima.

The next event is 7/16 at Ryogoku KFC Hall, the start of the 9th Tokyo Princess Cup Tournament. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin Friday at 9 PM PT/midnight ET.

Some post-event thoughts having just watched the replay, which runs just over 4 hours:
First hearing the cheers and seeing the streamers in the first match was instant goosebumps. They’re such a big part of Japanese wrestling and some of these wrestlers were experiencing this for the first time in their careers. Everyone really soaked it all in and to see the emotions on their faces was something special. This is Japanese wrestling.
Because Yamashita beat Rosa, there almost certainly is going to be a rematch in All Elite Wrestling for the title. The question likely is when. That was per a challenge Rosa made in a pre-event press conference just before the event.
No challengers immediately emerged after any title match so who knows what’s next. Next up for Nakajima likely is the Tokyo Princess Cup winner, unless Nakajima wins. Itoh won last year.
The next big event will be GO GIRL 3 in mid-late August after the Cup.
US Independent wrestler Max The Impaler, who has recently appeared in AEW, was advertised for the 8/13 & 8/14 events. As the name would suggest, despite a male name she’s a woman and she physically is HUGE.
