TJPW News: Young Wrestler Taking Another Long Break

Tokyo Joshi Pro had announced that Runa Okubo, the youngest member of the roster, is going on another indefinite hiatus, and likely a long-term one. Because of changes in her life right now, pertaining in large part to education (she started high school earlier this year), she would have a hard time balancing wrestling & school so after discussions with the promotion and her parents, it was decided she would take another extended hiatus from wrestling after next Sunday’s event at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo. Her final match will be against Yuki Kamifuku. Okubo will be back at some point like last time but when isn’t known. Not knowing bow the Japanese education calendar works I’m thinking at least 6 months.

New Japan Pro Wrestling “ROYAL QUEST 4” LIVE Results (10/20/24) (Updated)

New Japan returns to England for ROYAL QUEST 4 today, resuming a new tradition that was quickly disrupted by the coronavirus pendemic. And luckily for the hometown fans, they have a champion to cheer for after Zack Sabre Jr. won the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship earlier in the week, and now because of that his scheduled match against SANADA will be for the title. The winner determines who gets the next title shot on 11/4-if Sabre wins, it’s Shingo Takagi. If SANADA wins, it’s Shota Umino. A second title match is set as the Hiroshi Tanahashi Retirement Road begins, as after his 25th Anniversary match last week he gave us the news we didn’t want to hear…he will retire on 1/4/2026 at the Tokyo Dome (but unless he also steps down as President of New Japan he won’t be going away). That road starts today with a NEVER Tag TEam Championship match as Tanahashi & Tomihiro Ishii challenge Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls for the titles. That and much more, with the England representation mostly focused on the first half of the card including some new faces to some of us. We’ll also get to check in with a couple of the Young Lions on their training excursions as Oskar Leube & Yuto Nakahsima will compete against a pair of England-based independent standouts.

Today’s event will be held at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre in London, England and can be watched LIVE WORLDWIDE on New Japan World in Japanese. English will be available on demand at a later date. Also, this isn’t a PPV-all paid monthly subscribers can watch so if you’re not subscribed, go drop the $9.99 to get on board. There will be a pre-show match 30 minutes before the event begins. Including that match, this will probably have a total running time of 3 1/2-4 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Pre-show:
Oskar Leube & Yuto Nakashina vs. Brendan White & Danny Jones

Main show:
Taiji Ishimori & TBA vs. Danny Black & Joe Lando
Kanji & Mina Shirakawa vs. Dani Luna & AZM

9 AM PT UPDATE: We’re starting a few moments late. Still in pre-live mode.

:9:05 AM PT UPDATE 2: The pre-show is also live FOR FREE on YouTube. The NJPW WORLD feed is about 5 minutes behind. Anyway, live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Crystal Palace National Indoor Sports Centre in London, England. Your hosts are Haruo Murata & Miki Motoi with guests including (I think) Taichi and someone else. All bravely working the graveyard shift because it’s 1 AM Monday in Japan.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. They appear to be using the indoor venue that has a listed capacity of 1400, it looks about 75% full but fans may still be filing in. With the setup it has me thinking it’ll be around 1000. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1544)

Pre-show match: Oskar Leube & Yuto Nakashina vs. Brendan White & Danny Jones. 30 minute time limit
Result: Oskar Leube & Yuto Nakashima beat Brandan White & Danny Jones. Leube pinned White after Blood Rush.

End pre-show intermission (9:20 AM PT/12:20 PM ET). Updates and the live stream will resume in 10 minutes.

Main show:

Match 1: Taiji Ishimori & TBA vs. Danny Black & Joe Lando. TBA, who was not revealed until entrances, is Robbie X. 30 minute time limit.
Result: Taiji Ishimori & Robbie X beat Danny Black & Joe Lando. X pinned Black after Spinal Tap.

Match 2: Kanji & Mina Shirakawa (Stardom) vs. Dani Luna (TNA Wrestling) & AZM (Stardom). 30 minute time limit
Result: Dani Luna & AZM beat Kanji & Mina Shirakawa. Luna pinned Shirakawa after Luna Landing. As far as the Europe women’s titles held by Shirakawa, that could be significant and set up a rematch.

Grizzled Young Veterans promo. Pre-taped. They want the STRONG Tag Team Championship match winners next.

Match 3: Kosei Fujita vs. Michael Oku. 30 minute time limit
Result: Kosei Fujita beat Michael Oku

Match 4: Yota Tsuji vs. Drilla Moloney. 30 minute time limit

Result: Shota Umino beat Callum Newman

Match 6: David Finlay vs. TAKA Michinoku. 30 minute time limit
Result: David Finlay beat TAKA Michinoku (not popular despite this being the first win since match 2 for the locals, prob due to Finlay being a leader of Bullet Club)

Match 7: Titan, Hiromu Takahashi & Tetsuya Naito vs. Mascara Dorada, Robbie Eagles & Ryohei Oiwa. 30 minute time limit
Result: Titan, Hiromu Takahashi & Tetsuya Naito beat Mascara Dorada, Robbie Eagles & Ryohei Oiwa. Titan pinned Dorada after a diving double footstomp.

Result: IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Zack Sabre Jr. beat SANADA by submission to retain the title. V1 for Sabre. Next up: As previously announced, Shingo Takagi on 11/4. Afterwards, Sabre brought out all of TMDK and did the obligatory very-England hometown promo to send the fans home happy. (In English with Motoi translating to Japanese)

The next event is the Super Jr. Tag League tournament starting Thursday at G Messe Gunma in Gunma. This will also be part of the Road To POWER STRUGGLE Tour. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin at 2:30 AM PT/5:30 AM ET.

UPDATE: Robbie X will also be the TBA with Taiji Ishimori in the Super Jr. Tag League. Also, Umino-SANADA will happen on 11/4 although at this time it won’t be for a title shot. Had SANADA won the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship yesterday this match would have been for the title.

Pro Wrestling NOAH 10/20/24 LIVE Results (1st Event)

Pro Wrestling NOAH has a doubleheader on tap in Tokyo today, originally scheduled to continue the never-ending SUNNY VOYAGE 2024 tour in the first event but it now will be an ALL REBELLION Produced event, featuring the faction led by eternal rivals-turned-factionmates-for-now Kaito Kiyomiya & Kenoh. There’s not much to say about what to expect right now because the match card won’t be announced until right before the event, or maybe not until it begins.

Today’s event(s) will be held at Club eX in Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There likely will be no commentary. (The second event today is a LIMIT BREAK ex) With no way to predict the running time based on the card, it may depend largely on the fact the second event is to start only about 3 1/2 hours after this one, so it really can’t go more than 2 1/2 hours. I’d guess it’ll be around 2 hours. Also, live results for this event are dependent on the ability to simulcast WRESTLE UNIVERSE on multiple devices/browser windows because a DDT live event will happen at the same time.

Today’s lineup:
TBA. It will not be announced until the event begins

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will (hopefully) begin at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin at 7:45 PM PT/10:45 PM ET.

7:45 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in about 15 minutes.

8 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Club eX in Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Not sure what the setup is for but the lower level seating looks mostly full but not sold out. Upper level has some balcony seating. For this event my initial guess is around 300. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 268)

At the start the lights go out briefly and when they come back ALL REBELLION is in the ring to greet the crowd. This includes the injured Taishi Ozawa, who is on crutches so his “out indefinitely” is going to be several weeks at least.

The matches begin at 8:05 PM PT/11:05 PM PT. Nothing announced until match time.

Match 1: Kaito Kiyomiya vs. Ulka Sasaki. 15 minute time limit
Result: Time Limit Draw

Match 2: Kenoh vs. Cristobal. 15 minute time limit
Result: Kenoh beat Cristobal

Match 3: Alejandro & Kai Fujimura vs. Dragon Bane & Alpha Wolf. 20 minute time limit
Result: Dragon Bane & Alpha Wolf beat Alejandro & Kai Fujimura. Bane pinned Alejandro after Twister Bane.

Intermission. Sounds like about 10 minutes starting at 9 PM PT. Updates will resume afterwards.

The matches resume at 9:15 PM PT. Just one match left.

Main Event: Alejandro, Cristobal, Kai Fujimura, Kenoh & Kaito Kiyomiya vs. Hajime Ohara, Tadasuke, Shuji Kondo, Masa Kitamiya & Manabu Soya in a 2/3 Falls match. 1 Hour time limit
Fall 1: Tadasuke beat Alejandro with a standing heel hold.
Fall 2: Fujimura pinned Ohara after a diving elbow drop.
Fall 3: Kiyomiya pinned Tadasuke after Transformed Shining Wizard.
Result: Alejandro, Cristobal, Kai Fujimura, Kenoh & Kaito Kiyomiya beat Hajime Ohara, Tadasuke, Shuji Kondo, Masa Kitamiya & Manabu Soya 2-1.

The next event is a LIMIT BREAK ex. event later today. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 12:30 AM PT/3:30 AM ET.

DDT Pro Wrestling “GOD BLESS DDT 2024” LIVE Results (10/20/24)

DDT runs their monthly tour-ender event today, GOD BLESS DDT 2024, in Tokyo. It’s lean on match quantity but headlined by 2 title matches-First up is a DDT Extreme Championship match as Akito defends against Danshoku Dieno, with as usual weird rules: There are 9 win conditions and prohibited moves, to be chosen pre-match by the referee. Only the referee will know them-nobody else will, to include the wrestlers and fans. In the main event, Shinya Aoki defends the KO-D Openweight Championship against HARASHIMA. And ahead of a DDT debut at the end of 2024, another actor (can’t quite get his name right from translations) will appear at the event to greet the fans. I already expect him to debut against Kaisei Takechi. Also keep an eye out for the usual Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship wackiness, especially in and starting with the second match.

Because Kota Ibushi was scheduled to appear and that will not happen for unspecified reasons, DDT is offering refunds to those who had purchased tickets before the announcement so that may affect today’s attendance and ticket availability.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese. Actor Takumi Momose will be a guest on commentary. There are only 6 matches today so even with the title main events this probably will be a “regular” Korakuen event with a runtime of around 2 1/2 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata & To-y vs. Takao Soma, Yukio Naya, Keigo Nakamura & Yuya Koroku
Super Sasadango Machine & Kazuki Hirata vs. Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul, KANON & Illusion vs. Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda, Masa Takanashi & Takeshi Masada
Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino vs. Jun Akiyama & Yuki Ishida
DDT Extreme Champion Akito vs. Danshoku Dieno in a “Nobody Knows Rules” Match for the title
KO-D Openweight Champion Shinya Aoki vs. HARASHIMA for the title

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will begin at 7:30 PM PT/10:30 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin at 7 PM PT/10 PM ET.

6:40 PM PT UPDATE: The start of the live stream has been pushed back to 7:10 PM PT/10:10 PM ET.

7:20 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Your hosts are Satoshi Dairaku, Kagehiro Osano & Takumi Momose. We will be joined by Haruo Murata a little later.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Advance sales heading into today were better than usual but it’s hard to say how much the Ibushi refunds will affect the paid total. Too early to get a prediction right now but advance tickets suggest it could be 1000+. (Late prediction based on what I saw before Match 5-looks like near 1000 so I’ll say that) (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1124, a full house/near sellout)

The matches should begin in about 20 minutes.

The matches begin at 7:35 PM PT/10:35 PM ET.

Match 1: Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata & To-y vs. Takao Soma, Yukio Naya, Keigo Nakamura & Yuya Koroku. 30 minute time limit
Result: Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata & To-y beat Takao Soma, Yukio Naya, Keigo Nakamura &Yuya Koroku. MAO pinned Soma after Our Madmax. As a result, MAO wins Soma’s “Money In The Bank” title shot. The37Kamiina now holds both remaining contracts (Katsumata has the other).

Match 2: Super Sasadango Machine & Kazuki Hirata vs. Yuni & Kazuma Sumi. 30 minute time limit
Result: Yuni & Kazuma Sumi beat Super Sasadango Machine & DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Kazuki Hirata, with Yuni pinning Hirata to win the title. Yuni becomes the 1682nd Champion. Everyone tried but failed to win it then.

Time for GM Imabayashi’s opening announcements.

Match 3: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul, KANON & Illusion vs. Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda, Masa Takanashi & Takeshi Masada. 30 minute time limit
Result: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul, KANON & Illusion beat Chris Brookes, ANtonio Honda, Masa Takanashi & Takeshi Masada. Illusion pinned Takanashi after a swanton bomb.

More GM Imabayashi announcements. Haruto Sakuraba, an actor debuting at the end of the year, is introduced. Interrupted by Sasaki & KANON. It would appear Sakuraba has already been convinced to join DAMNATION T.A. Announcement ruined, I guess.

Your new host is Haruo Murata.

Match 4: Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino vs. Jun Akiyama & Yuki Ishida. 30 minute time limit
Result: Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino beat Jun Akiyama & Yuki Ishida. Iino pinned IShida after a spear. MAO immediately came out and avoided spears. Which led to…CASHING IN!
Impromptu Match: DDT Universal Champion Yuki Iino vs. MAO for the title. 1 Hour time limit
Result: MAO beat DDT Universal Champion Yuki Iino to win the title. MAO becomes the 14th DDT Universal Champion. And first 3-time champion. The match went just over 6 minutes.

Match 5: DDT Extreme Champion Akito vs. Danshoku Dieno (with his real-life dog) in a “Nobody Knows Rules” Match for the title. There are 9 win conditions and prohibited moves, to be chosen pre-match by the referee. Only the referee will know them-nobody else will, to include the wrestlers and fans. 1 Hour time limit
Result: Danshoku Dieno beat DDT Extreme Champion Akito to win the title. Dieno becomes the 61st DDT Extreme Champion. The winning move? Apparently a pinky swear. This is Dieno’s 9th reign but first in nearly 8 years. Next up: Yuni. And it will also be for the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship. That match will happen at the next Korakuen event on 11/23. Which led to…
Danshoku Dieno beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Yuni to win the title. Dieno becomes the 1683rd Champion.

Main Event: KO-D Openweight Champion Shinya Aoki vs. HARASHIMA for the title. 1 Hour time limit
Result: KO-D Openweight Champion Shinya Aoki beat HARASHIMA to retain the title. V2 for Aoki. Shunma Katsumata came out immediately afterwards…CASHING IN! Which led to…
Impromptu Match: KO-D Openweight Champion Shinya Aoki vs. Shunma Katsumata for the title. 1 Hour time limit
Result: KO-D Openweight Champion Shinya Aoki beat Shunma Katsumata to retain the title. V3 for Aoki. That’s it for all the title shot contracts. Next up: Brookes. Baka Gaijin wants Baka Survivor. And GM Imabayashi makes it official.

We wrap up with the announcement of matches for 11/4 at Sumida City Gym. Makoto Oishi will compete at that event as will Shinichiro Karamatsu the wrestling politician. That’s also when Aoki-Brookes will happen.

The next event is Saturday at AKOS Event Square in Saitama. This will be a free mini-event but is weather permitting as it’s outdoors. There will be no live broadcast.

Stardom 10/19/24 LIVE Results

Stardom runs their latest NEW BLOOD event today, the 16th installment of the promotion’s developmental series focused on younger and less-experienced wrestlers. As has been the case recently, a lot of outside participation is scheduled as other promotions send their younger and inexperienced wrestlers to gain experience and exposure against the same in Stardom. There is also a title match scheduled-after recently seeing her year-plus record-setting Future Of Stardom Championship reign stunningly halted, Rina will try to hold on to the New Blood Tag Team Championship when she & Azusa Inaba defend against Waka Tsukiyama & HANAKO. HANAKO has been on a hot streak since returning from a month-long excursion to the US, and with the Goddess Of Stardom Tag League fast approaching both the titles and potentially momentum going in are on the line.

Today’s event will be held at Bellesalle Grand Shinjuku in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on Stardom World. There will be no commentary. No word yet on if the event will also be live on YouTube. This will be a shorter event with only 5 matches including the title match so the running time should be a little over 90 minutes.

UPDATE 2: They changed broadcast plans last-minute-this event IS NOT live on Stardom World. Only on YouTube.

Main Event: Chris Brookes & Masa Takanashi beat Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino and Yuki Ueno & MAO in a 3-way when Takanashi pinned Endo. Apparently a lot of tequila was consumed in this match…

The next event is tomorrow at Global Ring Theater at Ikebukuro West Exit Park in Tokyo. This is a free event but is weather permitting and subject to cancellation if weather is bad. There will be no live broadcast. If the event is held as scheduled, on demand will be available Wednesday.
