All-Japan News: Title Match Announced For Weekend Event

With a few off days until their current tour resumes, All-Japan today announced a title match for this coming weekend: On Saturday at the event in Tokorozawa there will be an All-Japan 6-Man Tag Team Championship match as Hokuto Omori, Kumaarashi & Cyrus defend against Ryo Inoue, Masayuki Kono & Ryuji Hijikata. If Kono looks/sounds familiar it’s because he also appears occasionally as KONO, aligned with Voodoo Murders and sometimes the Saitos.

Saturday’s event will begin Friday at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET and will be available on demand on AJPW.TV Saturday at 5 PM PT/8 PM ET. There will be no live broadcast.

Pro Wrestling NOAH “DEATHTINY” LIVE Results (11/17/24) (Updated)

Today is a date with DEATHTINY…for the last time as Pro Wrestling NOAH hosts the retirement event for 30-year-plus veteran Akitoshi Saito in his homwtown. The respected veteran has been in NOAH full-time since 2009 but has competed there since the beginning through the best and worst of times…he was in the ring when the death of NOAH founder and Japanese icon Mitsuharu Misawa happened (after taking Saito’s finisher Misawa suffered a medical emergency and was left paralyzed, he died soon after) but carried on and honored Misawa’s memory, and today he’ll participate in one final match against current NOAH icon Naomichi Marufuji. Surprisingly it’s probably not the main event-that may be a GHC Heavyweight Championship match as Kaito Kiyomiya defends the title against Takashi Sugiura. Both the GHC Junior Heavyweight and Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships will be defended too, but this event is all about mid-50-something (actually 59) Saito and his farewell to a career that began way back in 1990.

Today’s event will be held at Aichi Prefectural Gym in Nagoya and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in English. This is a live ABEMA exclusive broadcast in Japan so the UNIVERSE version will be edited/clipped, but the full version should be available on demand after the event. You will also be able to watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube. I’m gonna try to make it through the whole event as I expect it to be blowout level with a running time of close to 4 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., Galeno Del Mal & Alpha Wolf vs. Junta Miyawaki, Yu Owada & Daiki Odashima
Mohammed Yone, Shuhei Taniguchi, AMAKUSA & Hitoshi Kumano vs. Anthony Greene, LJ Cleary, Eita & Harutoki
Kenoh, Alejandro & Kai Fujimura vs. Go Shiozaki, Atsushi Kotoge & Hajime Ohara
Ulka Sasaki vs. Jack Morris
Manabu Soya & Kazuyuki Fujita vs. Masa Kitamiya & Shuji Kondo
GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions YO-HEY & HAYATA vs. Tadasuke & Yuto Kikuchi for the titles
GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion Daga vs. Dragon Bane for the title
Akitoshi Saito Retirement Match: Akitoshi Saito vs. Naomichi Marufuji
GHC Heavyweight Champion Kaito Kiyomiya vs. Takashi Sugiura for the title

Updates below will begin at 10 PM PT/1 AM ET. The WRESTLE UNIVERSE stream is scheduled to begin at 9:45 PM PT/12:45 AM ET and the YouTube broadcast is scheduled to begin at 9:50 PM PT/12:50 AM ET.

9:45 PM PT UPDATE: The WRESTLE UNIVERSE stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in about 15 minutes.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Setup is for maybe 60-65% capacity (the venue’s full capacity, primarily for sumo, is 7500) but from the early shot the trend of what appears to be not good big event crowds outside Korakuen Hall is going to continue. I see a lot of empty sears especially on the lower level. Admittedly hoping for at least 2000 but that could be a stretch, just too much happening in west Japan with the New Japan/Stardom Crossover event in Osaka and the Grand Sumo Tournament in Fukuoka. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1788)

The matches begin at 10:05 PM PT/1:05 AM ET. Your hosts are Stewart (BANG!) Fulton & Mark Pickering.

Match 1: Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., Galeno Del Mal & Alpha Wolf vs. Junta Miyawaki, Yu Owada & Daiki Odashima. 15 minute time limit

Result: GHC Heavyweight Champino Kaito Kiyomiya beat Takashi Sugiura to retain the title. V6 for Kiyomiya. Kiyomiya had ALL REBELLION join him for the show-ending promo, but at the end Taishi Ozawa turned on Kiyomiya and laid him out with his crutch as Team 2000X hit the ring for the heel beatdown. Ozawa has officially defected and turned heel. A shocking ending.

The next event is MONDAY MAGIC Season 3 Episode 4 Monday at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 2 AM PT/5 AM ET.

UPDATE: Right before the WRESTLE UNIVERSE live stream ended, Sugiura post-match backstage comments with Marufuji were interrupted by Wagner Jr. & Del Mal, who made a GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Championship challenge.

Even if every match went the distance the longest this event could go is 3 hours, with the intermission I’d anticipate the running time being roughly 2 1/4 hours.

Stardom runs their monthly NEW BLOOD event today, taking their developmental series to Osaka for a special NEW BLOOD WEST installment.

A new wrestler is also slated to debut today, currently named Matoi (ring name TBA at a later date) following an exhibition practice appearance at a recent event. The main event will likely be a New Blood Tag Team Championship match as Rina & Azusa Inaba, who are also in this year’s Goddess Of Stardom Tag League Tournament, defend the titles against Ranna Yagami & Lady C.

Today’s event will be held at Osaka Azalea Taisho in Osaka and can be watched LIVE FOR FREE only on YouTube. It will not be available live on Stardom World. There will be no commentary.
