Today’s event was held at Shonan Fujisawa Market Special Ring in Kanagawa and can be watched on demand on AJPW.TV.

The announced paid attendance was 800. This was possibly a legit sellout, if not it was very close.

With 2 matches left in the tag league Ishikawa & Cyrus still lead but several teams still have a chance to at least force a tiebreaker. In the Jr. Battle Of Glory it comes down to Aoyagi-Tamura. Tamura wins with a win or draw but Aoyagi can win with a victory.

The next event is 12/4 at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka. Live streaming on AJPW.TV will begin at 1 AM PT/4 AM ET.

Tamura has all but won the Jr. Battle Of Glory at 4-0, 8 pts. Shuji Ishikawa & Cyrus lead the World’s Strongest Tag League, however a big shakeup is coming in the points because Shotaro Ashino & Ryuki Honda are now out of the tournament because Ashino was injured in the match on this event. Dislocated right clavicle. Out indefinitely but at least the rest of the tour, meaning a minimum of 2 weeks. That means a free win for Koji Doi & Kuma Arashi at the next event, then Jake Lee & Yuma Aoyagi, and finally Ishikawa & Cyrus.

The next event is Sunday (Saturday night US time) at Shonan Fujisawa Market Special Ring in Kanagawa. This event will be available on demand on AJPW.TV later that day or the following day.

All-Japan kicks off the annual World’s Strongest Tag League today, their yearly tag team tournament which this year is supported by a Jr. Heavyweight mini-tournament. Expect fast-paced action in the latter as matches will only have a 10 minute time limit while the tag league will follow traditional Japan tournament rules. Before the event there will be a pre-show dark match and traditional ceremonies to introduce all the participants for each tournament.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on AJPW.TV. There will likely be Japanese commentary. The pre-show match is scheduled to begin 20 minutes before the event. Taking this into account and the time limits for the matches, I anticipate the event having a total runtime of about 2 1/4 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Pre-show: Jr. Battle Of Glory Entrance Ceremony
Pre-show: Takao Omori, Yoshitatsu & TAJIRI vs. Izanagi, Black Menso-re & Oji Shiba
World’s Stringest Tag League Entrance Ceremony

Short break for announcements related to upcoming events. In particular a 12/25 event which will feature a mixed 6-person tag match with Maya Yukihi, Mayumi Ozaki, Chihiro Hashimoto & Yuu.

UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 794.

All-Japan wraps up the Flag Raising Series 2022 Tour today with an early Halloween-themed event where fans will be able to dress up, and the promotion has announced that fans who dress up like their favorite wrestlers or in wrestler support merchandise will receive gifts after the event on the way out of the venue. 2 title matches headline the event-first up, GAORA TV Champion Toshizo defends the title against Masao Hanabata (the former Seigo Tachibana, who changed his ring name after the last event), then in the main event All-Asia Tag Team Champions Hikaru Sato & Dan Tamura defend against Yoshitatsu & TAJIRI.

Today’s event will be held at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on AJPW.TV. It is not known if there will be any commentary. The event is a legit advance sellout. For those potentially staying up late to watch in the east US, I anticipate the event will have a runtime of around 2 1/2 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Hokuto Omori vs. Yusuke Kodama
Yuma Anzai vs. Naoya Nomura
Kento Miyahara & Rising Hayato vs. Yuma & Atsuki Aoyagi

11 PM ET UPDATE: Updates will begin shortly. Waiting for the live stream to begin.

We are LIVE from Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo, Japan. As usual, audio is muted when we begin for the opening announcements.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event but it is a legit advance sellout. Depending on the venue’s layout, that likely means in the 450-500 range if full capacity, possibly as high as 600. But vocal cheering is allowed today so that’ll limit the attendance to closer to 300 (50% capacity).

Audio is turned on 5 minutes in. Then off again for first match entrances and back on to start the first match (sounds like they’ll have to do this for every wrestler with non-original aka licensed music, even ones they normally don’t do it for, because this isn’t on TV in Japan). There will be no commentary. The non-hard cameras at ringside are not good quality.

Match 1: Izanagi vs. Black Menso-re. 10 minute time limit
Result: Time Limit Draw. Comedy match

Match 2: Shotaro Ashino & Ryuki Honda vs. Takao Omori & Masao Inoue. 15 minute time limit
Result: Shotaro Ahsino & Ryuki Kinda beat Takao Omori & Masao Inoue. Ashino beat Inoue.

Match 3: Hokuto Omori vs. Yusuke Kodama. 15 minute time limit
Result: Hokuto Omori beat Yusuke Kodama

Match 4: GAORA TV Champion Toshizo vs. Masao Hanabata for the title. 1 Hour time limit
Result: GAORA TV Champion Toshizo beat Masao Hanabata to retain the title. V3 for Toshizo.

Intermission. Updates will resume in a few minutes (as of midnight ET/9 PM PT).

We resume at 12:13 AM ET/9:13 PM PT.

Match 5: All-Asia Tag Team Champions Hikaru Sato & Dan Tamura vs. Yoshitatsu & TAJIRI for the titles. 1 Hour time limit
Result: Yoshitatsu & TAJIRI beat All-Asia Tag Team Champions Hikaru Sato & Dan Tamura to win the titles. Yoshitatsu & TAJIRI become the 115th All-Asia Tag Team Champions. Yoshitatsu beat Tamura. Next up: Potentially Black Menso-re & Izanagi, who were quick to hit the ring post-match for a comedy challenge.

Match 6: Yuma Anzai vs. Naoya Nomura. 30 minute time limit
Result: Naoya Nomura beat Yuma Anzai

Match 7: Suwama, Jun & Rei Saito vs. Jake Lee, Shuji Ishikawa & Ryo Inoue. 30 minute time limit

All-Japan kicks off the 2022 Flag Raising Series today, the start of their October tour continuing their 50th Anniversary celebration with a borderline major event featuring 3 title matches. However, in recognition of his contributions to Japanese pro wrestling even though he never competed for them, the event will open with a memorial tribute to Hall of Fame wrestler Antonio Inoki, the founder of rival promotion New Japan Pro Wrestling, who died today at 79.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on AJPW.TV FOR FREE! There is a catch-you do have to create a provisional AJPW.TV account with a valid email address. A paid subscription is not required to watch this event, should you choose to go that route it’s currently about $6.25 US per month. You also can watch the first 3 matches FOR FREE on YouTube. There likely will be Japanese commentary. If you watch the full event, I anticipate the total running time being around 2 1/2 hours.

Takao Omori, Hokuto Omori, Shuji Ishikawa & Izanagi vs. TAJIRI, Yoshitatsu, Jun & Rei Saito
