Stardom 11/16/24 LIVE Results

Stardom runs their monthly NEW BLOOD event today, taking their developmental series to Osaka for a special NEW BLOOD WEST installment. As is normally the case, it will feature a mix of younger & less experienced Stardom wrestlers and similar from other promotions including freelancers. 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. These events are on the shorter side and there are only 5 matches planned so the event will probably run a little over 90 minutes but less than 2 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Matoi Debut Match: Matoi vs. Hanan
Mei Seira & Miyu Amasaki vs. Yuna Mizumori & Momoka Hanazono
Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara vs. Sumiko Yanagawa & Misa Kamihime
HANAKO & Rian vs. ZONES & ChiChi
New Blood Tag Team Champions Rina & Azusa Inaba vs. Ranna Yagami & Lady C for the titles

7:57 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates start now.

We are LIVE from Osaka Azalea Taisho in Osaka, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. This is a very small venue that typically averages around 200 for wrestling events, the seating I can see looks full or close to it. I’m not too familiar with the capacity but from what I know about the past I’ll guess it’ll be around that 200 figure. (UPDATE: It has not yet been announced but it was a legit advance sellout) (UPDATE 2: The announced paid attendance was 246)

The matches should begin in a few minutes.

The matches begin at 8:03 PM PT/11:03 PM ET.

Match 1: Matoi Hamabe Debut Match: Matoi Hamabe vs. Hanan. 15 minute time limit
Result: Hanan beat Matoi Hamabe by submission. But a very good effort from the newcomer in her debut, showing a lot of potential and nearly pulled the upset on a few occasions. Afterwards, Hanan with microphone. She put Hamabe over and thanked her before letting Hamabe have the microphone for post-debut comments.

Match 2: Mei Seira & Miyu Amasaki vs. Yuna Mizumori & Momoka Hanazono (Independent/Freelancer). And some kind of bubble machine with Hanazono. 20 minute time limit
Result: Mei Seira & Miyu Amasaki beat Yuna Mizumori & Momoka Hanazono. Seira pinned Mizumori after a Hanazono weapon attack backfired and Seira ducked so she hit Mizumori instead.

Match 3: Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara vs. Sumiko Yanagawa & Misa Kamihime (Just Tap Out/JTO). 20 minute time limit. As was the case in match 2 entrance music is muted for the outsiders (copyrights).
Result: Sumiko Yanagawa & Misa Kamihime beat Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara. Kamihime pinned Kurara after a diving senton.

Intermission.

The matches resume at 9:15 PM PT/12:15 AM ET.

Match 4: HANAKO & Rian vs. ZONES & ChiChi (Independent/Freelancers). 20 minute time limit
Result: ZONES & ChiChi beat HANAKO & Rian. ChiChi pinned Rian. Post-match promos interrupted by Aya Sakura who rushed in to attack ZONES & ChiChi leading to a Sakura beatdown from ZONES as HANAKO & ChiChi scuffled while others tried to break it up.

Main Event: New Blood Tag Team Champions Rina & Azusa Inaba vs. Ranna Yagami & Lady C for the titles. 20 minute time limit
Result: New Blood Tag Team Champions Rina & Azusa Inaba beat Ranna Yagami & Lady C to retain the titles. Inaba pinned Yagami after a running knee strike. V2 for the champs. Afterwards the usual group photo op with all the participants ended the show.

The next NEW BLOOD event will be on 12/26.

The next event is HISTORIC X-OVER 2, a crossover event with New Japan, Sunday at Osaka Prefectural Gym. Live streaming as a PPV on Stardom World will begin Saturday at 11 PM PT/2 AM ET. It will also be available on New Japan World, for those in the US it’ll be maybe a dollar or two cheaper there. The PPV on demand window is expected to be one week.

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). The scheduled start time is 5 PM PT/8 PM ET. (Update: It will also be available as a PPV on TrillerTV/FITE for $19.99)

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.

Match 3; The result of Manabu Soya, Masa Kitamiya & Ulka Sasaki vs. Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., Anthony Greene & Vinny Massaro isn’t listed right now.

Match 4: Titus Alexander beat Kevin Blackwood to win the WCP World Heavyweight Championship.

Match 5: Kouki Amarei won a 10 woman battle royal, last eliminating Sadie Gibbs, to become the inaugural GHC Women’s Champion. Over the top rope only eliminations. 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. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in English only will begin Saturday at 10 PM PT/1 AM ET. This is a live ABEMA exclusive broadcast in Japan so the WRESTLE UNIVERSE version will be edited/clipped. I will try to do live results.

GLEAT 11/10/24 Results

GLEAT ran their latest G PROWRESTLING event yesterday in Osaka.

That match will happen at the next event at this venue, which is currently scheduled for 12/15.

Main Event: Kaito Ishida, Hartley Jackson, Kotaro Suzuki & So Daimonji beat Soma Watanabe, Takehiro Yamamura, Junjie & JD Lee. Daimonji pinned Lee after Black Rain.

The next event is Wednesday at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo. Broadcast plans TBA but since it’s Tokyo and Shinjuku Face it probably will be a live broadcast on YouTube, if that is the case live streaming will begin at 1:30 AM PT/4:30 AM ET.

NOAH News: New Champion Crowned Today

Pro Wrestling NOAH hasn’t yet posted results from today’s MONDAY MAGIC Season 3 Episode 3 (it is available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE) but one result has been revealed on the socials: Kouki Amarei won a 10 woman battle royal to become the inaugural GHC Women’s Champion. To me, anyone but Great Sakuya winning would be an upset so yeah, that’s an upset to me.

Results will be posted when available.

The next event is “DEATHTINY”, the Akitoshi Saito Retirement Event, Sunday at Aichi Prefectural Gym in Nagoya. Saito will face Naomichi Marufuji in his final match.

DDT/Tokyo Joshi Pro/DEFY Supershow LIVE Results (11/10/24)

The DDT/Tokyo Joshi Pro/DEFY Wrestling joint tripleheader weekend wraps up today with a supershow event featuring all 3 promotions together. The full card was announced earlier today following the fallout from yesterday’s DDT/DEFY crossover event that ended with a stunning upset-Miyu Yamashita won the DDT Universal Championship from MAO by pinning Mike Bailey in a 3-way, so now her scheduled match today against Gringo Loco will be for the title…but since it’s his home turf, Nick Wayne got himself in the match as well so it’s another 3-way for the title. Marina Shafir also showed up and defended her DEFY Women’s Championship yesterday and, following a challenge from Shoko Nakajima, will defend again today. A full slate of crossover matches rounds out the card.

Today’s event will be held at Historic Washington Hall in Seattle, WA and can be watched LIVE only on TrillerTV/FITE with a Triller+ subscription ($7.99/month or $69.99/year) in English. It WILL NOT be available live or on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. Being billed as a supershow and with 9 matches hints the event will run a little longer than last night’s event which went 3 hours, so this one could be closer to 3 1/2 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Maki Itoh & Zara Zakher vs. Amira & Danica De La Rush
Bryan Keith vs. Shota
Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino & Arisu Endo vs. Vertvixen, Yuki Kamifuku & Moka Miyamoto
Miu Watanabe & Suzume vs. Mizuki & Wakana Uehara
Daisuke Sasaki & Kohei Kinoshita vs. Danshoku Dieno & Randy Myers
MAO & Mike Bailey vs. Judas Icarus & Travis Williams
Konosuke Takeshita vs. Yuni
DEFY Women’s Champion Marina Shafir vs. Shoko Nakajima for the title
DDT Universal Champion Miyu Yamashita vs. Gringo Loco & Nick Wayne in a 3-way for the title

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will begin at 4 PM PT/7 PM ET.

4 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

Mandatory FBI Warning then…

We are LIVE from Historic Washington Hall in Seattle, WA. Your hosts are Rich Bocchini, Veda Scott & Ethan HD.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. The lights haven’t come on yet so I can’t get a good look but it sounds like a packed house or close to it. Last night’s event did a near-sellout of 447 and so far it looks like it’ll be at least that much, so the guess is around 450. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 389)

Match 1: Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino & Arisu Endo vs. Vertvixen, Yuki Kamifuku & Moka Miyamoto
Result: Vertvixen, Yuki Kamifuku & Moka Miyamoto beat Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino & Arisu Endo. Vertvixen pinned Endo after a sitout powerbomb.

Match 2: Bryan Keith vs. Shota
Result: Bryan Keith beat Shota

Match 3: Maki Itoh & Zara Zakher vs. Amira & Danika Della Rouge
Result: Maki Itoh & Zara Zakher beat Amira & Danika Della Rouge. Itoh pinned Della Rouge after a jumping DDT off the top rope.

Match 4: Daisuke Sasaki & Kohei Kinoshita vs. Danshoku Dieno & Randy Myers
Result: No Contest. Out of control. More Yoshihiko and Kinoshita turned on Sasaki. Way too NSFW and he clearly was wearing way too small a thong underneath his tights. Quite the package. Anyway, moving on…legit made me sick to my stomach…good think the Triller+ stream has live DVR! Might be a bit behind live for a bit…

Match 5: Miu Watanabe & Suzume vs. Mizuki & Wakana Uehara
Result: Miu Watanabe & Suzume beat Mizuki & Wakana Uehara. Watanabe pinned Uehara after Teardrop.

Match 6: DEFY Women’s Champion Marina Shafir vs. Shoko Nakajima for the title
Result: DEFY Women’s Champion Marina Shafir beat Shoko Nakajima by submission to retain the title.

Match 7: Konosuke Takeshita vs. Yuni
Result: Konosuke Takeshita beat Yuni

Match 8: DDT Universal Champion Miyu Yamashita vs. Gringo Loco & Nick Wayne in a 3-way for the title
Result: Gringo Loco beat DDT Universal Champion Miyu Yamashita & Nick Wayne in a 3-way by pinning Yamashita to win the title. Loco becomes the 16th DDT Universal Champion. Damn…just 24 hours after Yamashita wins it she loses it.

Main Event: MAO & Mike Bailey vs. Judas Icarus & Travis Williams
Result: Judas Icarus & Travis Williams beat MAO & Mike Bailey. Williams pinned Bailey after Angel’s Wings with an Icarus superkick. Not exactly a “send the crowd home happy” results. Although Bailey & MAO got the post-main event promo where Bailey apologized to MAO, who came back with a very MAO remark. MAO then thanked the fans for coming in English and said he wished for DDT to come back to Seattle and maybe to Las Vegas, as Tokyo Joshi Pro is headed there for the first time in April 2025. Bailey then tried to say some Japanese (Veda Scott can probably confirm his nearly 4-year Duolingo streak). A fun spot to get the fans involved and send the crowd home happy.

As a whole, this was a fun tripleheader weekend with some surprising outcomes and of course some very DDT moments courtesy of Danshoku Dieno, and even better a pair of Yoshihiko appearances which made it all worth it. With any luck a weekend like this will happen again sometime in 2025. Props to DEFY Wrestling for their help in putting on a great trio of events and being great partners.

End Show.

For DDT, the next event is Saturday at Yokohama Radiant Hall in Yokohama, Japan. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at midnight PT/3 AM ET.

Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling 11/10/24 LIVE Results

The Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling members who are not in the US this weekend are part of an event in Tokyo today, which is likely going to be a comedy-themed event as it has a Raku Army vs. Pom Harajuku Army theme. The 16 participants have been divided into 2 teams of 8 and will compete in a variety of matches, which we won’t know the format of in advance, and they will be determined today by exchange of member lists. The winning team will get to share 10 kilos (22 pounds) of grilled eel made with love as a prize from event sponsor Yamada Suisan Co Ltd.. If nothing else, this event should be a lot of fun and worth the split-screen streaming opposite the DDT event in the US at the same time.

Today’s event will be held at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. It’s hard to predict anything because we won’t even know the format until after the event gets underway but it probably will be a standard house show with a running time of between 1 1/2 & 2 hours. I’m thinking there will be a total of 4 or 5 matches. (Pre-show Update: According to WRESTLE UNIVERSE, 6 matches. 4 single matches and 2 tag matches)

Today’s lineup:
TBA at event/match time. We only know the teams are the Raku Army of Raku, Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki, Haru Kazashiro, Chika Nanase, Ryo MIzunami & Ram Kaichow and the Pom Army of Pom Harajuku, Mahiro Kiryu, Neko Haruna, Kaya Toribami, Toga, Kira Summer, Uta Takami & Yoshiko Hasegawa. Sadly no Max The Impaler, at least on paper…

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 15 minutes prior to the event.

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

We are LIVE frmo Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Advance sales were unusually strong for a KFC Hall event and almost sold out ahead of time. The crowd is still filing in but based on normal full capacity and advance sales it could be right around 400 for a sellout but I’m going with a guess of a near-sellout 375. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 361, a legit sellout)

The event should begin momentarily.

The event starts with team captains Raku & Pom Harajuku coming out with envelops containing their lineups. Harajuku gets the comedy started quickly by trying to take the envelops away from ring announcer Sayuri Namba. Opening announcements follow during which an event in Las Vegas, NV is announced for April 18, 2025. I’d try to go but it’s right before I take off for a cruise in Japan! That’s also shortly before WWE WrestleMania 41 in Vegas. Up Up Girls then come out, sans Miu Watanabe of course because she’s in the US.

The matches begin at 7:50 PM PT/10:50 PM ET. The participants aren’t announced so we won’t know until they come out and their entrance music plays.

Match 1: Kaya Toribami (Pom Army) vs. Chika Nanase (Raku Army). 15 minute time limit
Result: Kaya Toribami beat Chika Nanase by submission

Match 2: Yoshiko Hasegawa (Pom Army) vs. Shino Suzuki (Raku Army). 15 minute time limit
Result: Yoshiko Hasegawa beat Shino Suzuki by submission

Match 3: Kira Summer & Neko Haruna (Pom Army) vs. Raku & Ram Kaichow (Raku Army). 20 minute time limit
Result: Raku & Ram Kaichow beat Kira Summer & Neko Haruna. Raku pinned Haruna.

Match 4: Mahiro Kiryu (Pom Army) vs. HIMAWARI (Raku Army). 15 minute time limit
Result: Mahiro Kiryu beat HIMAWARI

Match 5: Pom Harajuku (Pom Army) vs. Ryo Mizunami (Raku Army). 15 minute time limit
Result: Ryo Mizunami beat Pom Harajuku by submission

Which means the last match will be…
Main Event: Toga & Uta Takami (Pom Army) vs. Yuki Arai & Haru Kazashiro (Raku Army). 20 minute time limit
If Toga/Takami win, Pom Army wins. If Arai/Kazashiro win, tie.
Result: Yuki Arai & Haru Kazashiro beat Toga & Uta Takami. Arai beat Takami with a scorpion deathlock.

That means…TIE. 3-3. There must be a tiebreaker! Which led to…
Impromptu Match: Raku vs. Pom Harajuku in a 1 Count match. Only 1 count for pinfalls
Result: Raku beat Pom Harajuku. It only lasted a few seconds. As a result, Raku Army wins the event and the sponsor prize.

The next event is “The Mountain Top ’24” Saturday at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka with Miu Watanabe vs. Zara Zakher for the Princess Of Princess Championship and more. Unfortunately, unless plans change before then, there will be no live broadcast.
