AEW Collision 3/16/24 Results

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Collision in Ottawa, Canada:

Bryan Danielson beat Katsuyori Shibata.

AEW TBS Champion Julia Hart beat Trish Adora to retain the title. Adora’s House Rules stip was the loser would be banned from ringside in the House Of Black-Infantry match later. So that meant no Adora.

Daniel Garcia beat Lee Moriarty.

The Darby Allin injury from Dynamite was mentioned. Broken foot. No Mt. Everest this year and out a few months. It’s legit.

Pac beat Aaron Solo.

Claudio Castagnoli beat Lance Archer by DQ. The Righteous interference. Heel beatdown on Castagnoli & Danielson until Shibata made the save.

Kyle O’Reilly beat Bryan Keith.

AEW Tag Team Title Tournament: Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo beat Brody King & Buddy Matthews. Dean pinned Matthews after Mark Briscoe interference. As a result, Dean & Bravo will face FTR in the Quarterfinals.

Adam Copeland promo with a nail-laden 2×4 to end the show.

I missed the show due to a personal emergency.

Next week on Rampage on WEDNESDAY LIVE IMMEDIATELY AFTER DYNAMITE; Julia Hart & Slye Blue vs. Kris Statlander & Willow Nightingale.

Injury Report: Major Changes to Tomorrow’s NOAH Event

Pro Wrestling NOAH has announced a major change to tomorrow’s GREAT VOYAGE 2024 in YOKOHAMA event-Kaito Kiyomiya, who was to have challenged for the GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Championship with Ryohei Oiwa, is now off. Spinal concussion suffered in practice. Out indefinitely. No replacement, which means as a result, VC Tag League runner-ups Saxon Huxley & Timothy Thatcher get the title shot instead.

This means several other changes to the card as well as the match order:
What had been Manabu Soya, Masa Kitamiya & Daiki Inaba vs. Huxley, Thatcher & Shuhei Taniguchi is now Inaba vs. Taniguchi.
Soya & Kitamiya will now face Oiwa in a 3-way.
Instead of 8 matches on the event, there will now be 9 because of the 3-way.

The event will be streamed live on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in English only outside of Japan and ABEMA only in Japan. You can also watch the first 3 matches FOR FREE on YouTube. The event is scheduled do begin tonight at 11 PM PT/2 AM ET.

BREAKING: AEW Star Won’t Die On Everest. Yet…

As most AEW fans know, the plan was for Darby Allin to have his potentially last AEW match this past Wednesday then climb Mt. Everest at the end of the month. That only will half happen. He had his potentially last AEW match but the Everest climb is off for this year because of what happened in said match…he got legit injured. Broken foot. So no Everest until 2025 and no AEW for at least a few months. But Darby Gonna Darby and he’s claiming he’ll do a skateboard trick off his cast as a fundraiser for charity.

Injury Report: Can’t Be A Skywalker Like This

Another injury…this time in Dragon Gate as they report Shun Skywalker is grounded for now. Knee. Out indefinitely and off tomorrow’s event in Okayama as a result. He was to have faced Shachihoko BOY. ISHIN is the replacement. If he misses any further time it could jeopardize their Rey De Parejas spot.

More as it becomes available.

Tokyo Joshi Pro 3/16/24 Results

Tokyo Joshi Pro continues their spring house show tour today with an event in Yokohama. While there is one more event after this before GRAND PRINCESS ’24, this essentially will be the final build for the biggest event of the year as the next event is a separate standalone crossover with Ganbare Women. So today is the last time Moyu Yamashita & Miu Watanabe will be on opposite teams before their 3/31 main event, same for Yuki Aino and Suzume & Arisu Endo (no Ryo Mizunami today. Also no Yuki Arai). It also begins the road to the end of Nao Kakuta’s career as she announced earlier this week she will retire in July to focus on other activities.

There were unannounced last-minute changes for today’s event due to no Hyper Misao. Acute back pain. Status uncertain for 3/31.

Today’s event will be held at Yokohama Radiant Hall in Yokohama and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. This looks like a standard quick-paced house show and should have a total running time of just under 2 hours, even with the presumptive main event likely to go the full 20 minutes, but roughly 2 hours tops.

Today’s lineup:
Rika Tatsumi vs. Mahiro Kiryu & Uta Takami in a 3-way
Kaya Toribami vs. Kira Summer
Maki Itoh & Shino Suzuki vs. Moka Miyamoto & Chika Nanase
Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku vs. Suzume, Arisu Endo & HIMAWARI
Wakana Uehara & Toga vs. Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo
Miyu Yamashita, Mizuki & Shoko Nakajima vs. Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Nao Kakuta

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will begin at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET.

7:58 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now…

We are LIVE from Yokohama Radiant Hall in Yokohama, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Looks like a good crowd so far as the closest seats to the ring are all sold out and sounds good too. Not sure if a sellout or not but I’m thinking 275-300. A legit full capacity sellout would maybe be 350-375. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 277, a legit sellout. So closer to 75% capacity)

The matches should begin in 10-15 minutes. Hard camera only view with the position such that the ropes slightly obstruct view. They had very few announcements and quickly went to Up Up Girls so we’ll be starting matches by 8:10 PM PT.

The matches begin at 8:10 PM PT/11:10 PM PT.

Match 1: Kaya Toribami vs. Kira Summer. 15 minute time limit
Result: Kaya Toribami beat Kira Summer by submission

Quick break for ring repairs/maintenance. Only about a minute or so.

Match 5: Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku vs. Suzume, Arisu Endo & HIMAWARI. 20 minute time limit
Result: Yuki AIno, Raku & Pom Harajuku beat Suzume, Arisu Endo & HIMAWARI. Aino pinned Suzume after UBV. Final shots fired before thee Princess Tag Team Championship match at GRAND PRINCESS ’24 and they favor the champs.

Main Event: Miyu Yamashita, Mizuki & Shoko Nakajima vs. Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Nao Kakuta. 20 minute time limit
Result: Miyu Yamashita, Mizuki & Shoko Nakajima beat Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Nao Kakuta. Yamashita pinned Kakuta after Skull Kick. Yamashita immediately posed & taunted Watanabe afterwards. 15 days to go. It’s all over but the shouting and, presumably, final pre-event press conference. On to their biggest event of the year! But first…

The next event is 3/22 at Ueno Park Outdoor Stage in Tokyo for a crossover event with Ganbare Women. There will be no live broadcast.

Injury Report? Stardom Write-Off?

That or the relentless Japan injury/illness bug strikes again in Stardom. Curious in timing and circumstances because this time it’s Giulia. The ever-vague poor health/physical condition. Out this weekend. For tomorrow, she was to have been in a 3-way 6-woman tag match. Mei Seira is the replacement. For Sunday, TBA. This is all amidst rumors she is leaving Stardom at the end of the month.

More as it becomes available.

Injury Report: They Best Not Need A Hero

Tokyo Joshi Pro has announced the latest Japan injury casualty today…they hopefully won’t need a hero anytime soon because the sidelined one this time is Hyper Misao. Acute back pain. Out tomorrow. Status beyond that is uncertain but since she is not on the next event after this, that gives her 2 weeks to recover before GRAND PRINCESS ’24…assuming she is in good enough shape to he a hero opposite Max The Impaler and Aja Kong. I’d ride that Hyper Bike straight out of Ryogoku Kokugikan.

More as it becomes available.
