The paid attendance has not yet been announced. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 4795, a super full house/very near sellout. Maybe it’s me and they didn’t show all the seating on the broadcast but it looked like less, with at least 1/3 of the seating not used due to the setup. The venue can hold over 8000)

DDT 7/21/24 Results

WRESTLE PETER PAN, DDT’s biggest annual event, is now in the books.

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

The announced paid attendance was 4131, a super full house/very near sellout. They used a greatly reduced capacity setup (namely the box seats that normally hold 4-6 people for sumo were sold for only 2 people each), so a legit sellout probably would have been around 5000. The venue’s full normal capacity (mainly for sumo) is 15,000.

Match 1: Keigo Nakamura, Yuki Ishida & Kazuma Sumi beat Yuni, Yuya Koroku & Illusion. Nakamura pinned Yuni after a running diving headbutt.

Dieno also retained the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship, which they traded at a press conference earlier this week.

Match 6: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON beat KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito and Masa Takanashi, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada and Aja Kong, Shunma Katsumata & To-y in a 4-way elimination match to win the titles. Sasaki, Paul & KANON become the 56th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions. Order of elimination (one fall eliminates teams): Katsumata by Akito, Akito by Kanon, Masada by Sasaki.

Match 7: Konosuke Takeshita beat Masato Tanaka (ZERO1).

Match 8: KO-D Tag Team Champions Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino beat Go Shiozaki & Atsushi Kotoge (Pro Wrestling NOAH) to retain the titles. Endo pinned KOtoge after Burning Star Press. V3 for the champs.

Main Event: KO-D Openweight Champion Yuki Ueno beat MAO to retain the title. V6 for Ueno. Next up: Shinya Aoki. That match will happen on 8/25 at Korakuen Hall. After this, MAO returned to The37Kamiina. Also, this match was not for the DDT Universal Championship still held by MAO.

Pro Wrestling NOAH 7/21/24 Results

Pro Wrestling NOAH runs their monthly STAR NAVIGATION 2024 Tour event today, the series of Korakuen Hall events, and it’s a rare weekend morning matinee. Not counting a charity fundraiser event after this, it’s the last event before the annual N-1 VICTORY Tournament so almost all the participants will be in various tag matches. There is also a GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match scheduled as Shuji Kondo & Eita will defend the titles against Alejandro & Cristobal. In the opening match, Kai Fujimura will return from injury.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in ENGLISH ONLY. This is an ABEMA exclusive broadcast so there may be some parts edited out or that we won’t see live, and Japanese audio will only be available in the on demand version shortly after the event ends. You can also watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube. This is a 7 match card and even with the title match i anticipate this event having a “standard” Korakuen running time of around 2 1/2 hours, so if you’re planning to watch other events like I am prepare to perhaps do some brief split screen streaming.

Today’s lineup:
Kai Fujimura vs. Yu Owada
Ninja Mack vs. Junta Miyawaki
Naomichi Marufuji, Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. & AMAKUSA vs. Takashi Sugiura, Hajime Ohara & Alpha Wolf
HAYATA, YO-HEY & Tadasuke vs. Daga, Yoshinari Ogawa & Super Crazy
GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Shuji Kondo & Eita vs. Alejandro & Cristobal for the titles
Kenoh & Ulka Sasaki vs. Yoshiki Inamura & Manabu Soya

Updates below will begin at 7:30 PM PT/10:30 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 15 minutes before the event.

7:30 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. English Commentary will join the broadcast shortly.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Looks like the “new normal” full capacity setup and looked to be around 75% full from the quick first look I got. If that’s the case, I’m predicting the crowd should be near 1000. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 903)

The opening video plays almost as soon as we join, so the matches should begin in 5-10 minutes.

The matches begin at 7:34 PM PT/10:34 PM ET. Thankfully no G-Man ring announcer. Your hosts are Mark Pickering & Mike Schroder (I don’t know where Stewart Fulton is but I miss him already).

Result: Yoshiki Inamura & Manabu Soya beat Kenoh & Ulka Sasaki. Soya pinned Sasaki after a lariat. Afterwards, Soya with microphone. He simply put over his chances in the N-1 VICTORY, a surprise perhaps given he just beat the GHC National Champion. But with the tournament, no title matches for a while. Heavyweight & National titles anyway.

Main Event: Kaito Kiyomiya, Jack Morris & Dragon Bane vs. Go Shiozaki, Masa Kitamiya & Ryohei Oiwa. 1 Hour time linit
Result: Kaito Kiyomiya, Jack Morris & Dragon Bane beat Go Shiozaki, Masa Kitamiya & Ryohei Oiwa. Kiyomiya pinned Kitamiya after Transformed Shining Wizard. Afterwards, Kiyomiya with microphone. He started to put himself over ahead of the N-1 VICTORY, which brought everyone else in the match back in to put themselves over ahead of the tournament (they’re all in). After everyone else was done, Kiyomiya finished putting himself over and predicting he would win to end the show.

The next event is a Noto Peninsula earthquake relief fundraiser event on 7/28 at Ishikawa Prefectural Industrial Exhibition Hall 3 in Ishikawa. There will be no live broadcast.

Tokyo Joshi Pro “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24” LIVE Results (7/20/24)

Tokyo Joshi Pro’s quarterly blowout event, SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24, kicks off a big weekend of wrestling across Japan today. Their annual summer tentpole event is a morning matinee event and is loaded up with 9 matches including 2 title matches and familiar foreign talent returning. In the main event, Princess Of Princess Champion Miu Watanabe defends the title against Rika Tatsumi. Can Watanabe keep her reign alive against her Daydream partner & friend or will Tatsumi become a 2-time champion? In the second title match, Yuki Arai looks to become a 2-time Princess Tag Team Champion by adding the title to her International Princess Championship, this time teaming with Moka Miyamoto to challenge Suzume & Arisu Endo for the titles. Elsewhere, Japanese veteran & AEW part-timer Emi Sakura makes a special appearance and Hall of Famer Aja Kong faces Shoko Nakajima.

There have been late changes to the card because Nao Kakuta & Mahiro Kiryu are off the original lineup. Kakuta is out due to a lower back injury that has put her retirement match next week in potential jeopardy. She was to have faced Yuki Kamifuku. Kakeru Sekiguchi is the replacement. Kiryu is off due to the always-vague poor health/physical condition (probably illness). She was to have teamd with Yuna Manase & Kaya Toribami to face Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku. Moeka Haruhi, who just returned to Ganbare Pro this past weekend after an extended absence to be a kidney donor to save her sister’s life, is the replacement for her second match back. Haruhi also has joined Ganbare after spending most of the last decade as a freelancer.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese & English. Former SKE48 member Marika Tani makes her regular major-event appearance as a guest on Japanese commentary. Fans will be allowed to throw streamers/paper tape today. There will be a post-event party/gathering at a nearby venue after the event which may affect running times slightly although schedules are subject to change, but this probably will be a normal major event in terms of running time and go around 2 1/2 hours. The longest it could possibly go would be a little over 3 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Wakana Uehara, Toga & Runa Okubo vs. HIMWARI, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro
Chika Nanase vs. Kira Summer
Mei Suruga vs. Uta Takami
Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku vs. Yuna Manase, Moeka Haruhi & Kaya Toribami
Yuki Kamifuku vs. Kakeru Sekiguchi
Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh vs. Emi Sakura & Mizuki
