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

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.

9:50 PM PT UPDATE: The YouTube broadcast is now live. It is a simulcast of the ABEMA broadcast and is in Japanese.

10 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Aichi Prefectural Gym in Nagoya, Japan. English commentary will start in a few 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.

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.

Today’s event will be held at Yume Messe Miyagi in Sendai and can be watched LIVE on AJPW.TV. There will be no commentary. There will be an intermission at the halfway point of the card, so although it has only 6 matches that will stretch it out a little big. That and Kuroshio’s seemingly never-ending entrance antics. 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.

New Japan 11/12/24 Results

Apparently Taiji Ishimori thinks he’s superhuman and thus will do reckless things. That was the theme and title of his special New Japan event today, Superhuman Taiji Ishimori Does Reckless Things.

Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand as a PPV on New Japan World.

The paid attendance has not been announced but it was a legit advance sellout.

There were late changes to the card because Dragon Kid, who was scheduled to face Ishimori in the main event, was pulled due to a neck injury. Dragon Gate provided an update today-thankfully it is not serious and Kid will not need surgery, just rest and once the pain subsides he can return. Dragon Dia was the replacement.

Pre-show match: Taiji Ishimori beat Daiki Nagai.

Match 1: Kagetora (Dragon Gate) & Taiji Ishimori beat Brahmans Ryusuke (Ryusuke Taguchi) & Shu by DQ in 21 seconds. Shu DQ’d. Which led to…
Match 1 (again): In a No DQ, No Countouts handicap match, Kagetora & Taiji Ishimori beat Brahmans Shu, Kei & Ryusuke. Ishimori pinned Kei.

Match 2: Taiji Ishimori vs. TBA, revealed at match time to be Kosei Fujita, went to a 10 minute time limit draw.

Match 3: Shun Skywalker (Dragon Gate), Sho & Taiji Ishimori vs. Shuji Ishikawa, Daisuke Sekimoto (Big Japan) & Jeff Cobb went to a double countout. Which led to…
Match 3 (again): Shuji Ishikawa, Daisuke Sekimoto (Big Japan) & Jeff Cobb beat Shun Skywalker (Dragon Gate), Sho & Taiji Ishimori. Cobb pinned Ishimori.

Match 4: Jun Kasai won a (at least) 10 man battle royal, last eliminating Taiji Ishimori.

Main Event: Taiji Ishimori beat Dragon Dia (Dragon Gate). Afterwards, Ishimori announced next time he’ll face Kid, or possibly at an upcoming Korakuen Hall event.

The next event is HISTORIC X-OVER 2, a New Japan/Stardom joint event, Sunday at Osaka Prefectural Gym in Osaka. Live streaming on New Japan World and Stardom World as a PPV will begin Saturday at 11 PM PT/2 AM ET. The PPV is $34.99 in the US and the on demand window is expected to be for one week after the event.

In other news, it has been announced that STRONG STYLE EVOLVED, the next US event on 12/15 in Long Beach, CA, will be available live & on demand on New Japan World for all monthly paid subscribers (no PPV).

Pro Wrestling NOAH 11/11/24 Results

Pro Wrestling NOAH reached the halfway point of MONDAY MAGIC Season 3 today with the 3rd episode.

Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The paid attendance was not announced but it may have been a legit sellout or very close. Only a few seats and a limited number of standing room only tickets were available today.

Match 1: Shuji Kondo & Shuji Ishikawa beat Masato Tanaka & Takuya Sugawara (ZERO1). Kondo pinned Sugawara after a King Kong lariat.

Match 2: AMAKUSA beat Starboy Charlie, Alejandro, Eita & Dragon Bane in a 5-way by pinning Alejandro.

Order of elimination: Chiguya Nagayo, Nightshade, Yuu, Bojira, Utami Hayashishita, Takumi Iroha, Miku Aono, Miyuki Takase, Great Sakuya, Gibbs. Because Sakuya didn’t win that’s an upset in my book.

Main Event: Kaito Kiyomiya & Kai Fujimura beat Takashi Sugiura & Yu Owada. Fujimura pinned Owada after a swan dive elbow.

Episode 4 is 11/18.

The next event is “DEATHTINY”, the Akitoshi Saito Retirement Event, Sunday at Aichi Prefectural Gym in Nagoya.
