All-Japan 11/5/23 Results (Event 2) (Updated)

All-Japan’s second event of their Hokkaido weeklong tour-ending doubleheader featured a Triple Crown main event with the debut of former Pro Wrestling NOAH star Katsuhiko Nakajima in the promotion.

Today’s event was held at Hotel Emisia Sapporo in Hokkaido and can be watched on demand on AJPW.TV.

The announced paid attendance was 797.

Match 1: Match 1: Takao Omori & Yoshitatsu beat Hikaru Sato & Shota Sidney Stevens (?). Omori pinned Stevens after Ax Bomber.

Match 2: Koji Yoshida & Kumagoro Hokkai beat Black Menso-re & Takyua Dou (?). Yoshida pinned Menso-re after Certified Inazuma Leg Roll.

Match 3: Minoru Suzuki & Hokuto Omori beat Suwama & Ryo Inoue. Suzuki pinned Inoue after a Gotch-style piledriver.

Match 4: Shuji Ishikawa & Ren Ayabe beat Jun & Rei Saito. Ayabe pinned Jun Saito after Last Shooting. This had me thinking future rematch for the All-Japan World Tag Team Championship, but their annual year-end tag team tournament is next, so not happening. Yet. They are both in the tournament though, so it could still happen.

Match 5: Dan Tamura, Rising Hayato & Jonathan Gresham beat Atsuki Aoyagi, El Lindaman & Fuminori Abe. Hayato pinned Abe after Sid Vicious.

Match 6: Kento Miyahara & T-Hawk beat Ryuki Honda & Yuma Anzai. Miyahara pinned Honda with a shutdown suplex hold.

Main Event: Katsuhiko Nakajima beat All-Japan Triple Crown Champion Yuma Aoyagi to win the Triple Crown. Nakajima becomes the 71st All-Japan Triple Crown Champion. Not with one of his usual NOAH finishers though…Northern Lights bomb. Immediate impact though, went from crashing a press conference and demanding a title shot as an “invasion” to backing it up. Sounds like All-Japan will be his new home, at least for now.

Next up is the Real World Tag League, the promotion’s annual year-end tag team tournament, starting on 11/12 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. This year’s tournament has 10 teams competing in a traditional round-robin format, with the finals being held on 12/12 at Korakuen. After the 12/12 matches, the team with the most points wins. If there is a tie atop the standings, a tiebreaker match will be held to determine the winners.
The entered teams: Jun & Rei Saito (current All-Japan World Tag Team Champions), Yuma Aoyagi & Kento Miyahara, Shuji Ishikawa & Ren Ayabe, Ryuki Honda & Yuma Anzai, Suwama & Hideki Suzuki, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani (DDT), Hayato Tamura & Galeno Del Mar (GLEAT), Kuroshio Tokyo Japan (Jiro Kuroshio/Ikemen Jiro) & Seigo Tachibana, Cyrus & Ryan Danielson (this is not a typo and not Bryan Danielson), TBA & TBA.

For the 11/12 event, live streaming on AJPW.TV will begin Saturday at 6:30 PM PT/9:30 PM ET and live results will be posted here.

UPDATE: Next up for the Triple Crown…OH. SNAP. Miyahara. That match will happen on 12/31. Explosive closing out to 2023!

New Japan 11/4/23 Results (Updated)

POWER STRUGGLE, New Japan’s final blowout event of the year, is now in the books.

Today’s event was held at Osaka Prefectural Gym in Osaka and can be watched on demand on New Japan World outside Japan only. It will be available in Japan at a later date. This event aired in Japan as part of WORLD PRO WRESTLING LIVE 2023 on TV Asahi.

The announced paid attendance was 4046, a full house/near sellout. (The venue’s normal full capacity, normally for sumo but sometimes for wrestling or other events, is 5000) Not sure what today’s setup was)

Pre-Show Match: Boltin Oleg, The DKC & Ryusuke Taguchi beat Mochizuki Jr., Yoshiki Kato & Strong Machine J (Dragon Gate). Taguchi beat Jr. with Oh My & Gar Ankle.

Match 1: Callum Newman & Jeff Cobb beat Oskar Leube & Yuto Nakashima. Cobb pinned Leube after Tour Of The Islands.

Match 5: David Finlay beat Tanga Loa.

Match 6: Jon Moxley vs. Great-O-Khan went to a near-immediate double countout. Which led to…
Match 6 (again): In a Falls Count Anywhere match, Jon Moxley beat Great-O-Khan by ref stoppage (bulldog choke after Death Rider). There was some hair cutting in this match.

Match 7: NEVER 6-Man Tag Team Champions Tomohiro Ishii, Hiroshi Tanahashi & Kazuchika Okada beat Shane Haste, Mikey Nicholls & Zack Sabre Jr. to retain the titles. Tanahashi pinned Sabre. V4 for the champs. Afterwards, Bryan Danielson promo played, which was pre-taped. He challenged Okada for 1/4 at the Tokyo Dome. Despite Danielson being out most of the rest of the year due to injury (broken orbital bone, he reportedly had surgery already) and his status being unsure at this point, it’s now official.
(Side note: Although All Elite Wrestling and Danielson said Okada caused the injury last week on Dynamite in a tag match, that was just an angle. It reportedly happened the week before when Danielson faced Andrade El Idolo on AEW Collision, and it’s also being reported that it was a freak accident)

Match 8: Super Junior Tag League Finals: Francesco Akira & TJP beat Yoshinobu Kanemaru & Sho to win the tournament. TJP pinned Kanemaru after 2/2. As a result, Akira & TJP will face IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Drilla Moloney & Clark Connors for the titles at Tokyo Dome.

Match 9: IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Hiromu Takahashi beat Taiji Ishimori to retain the title. V7 for Takahashi. No word on if he also won the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship back, although at yesterday’s pre-event presser Ishimori said he was going to vacate the title after this match if he beat Takahashi. We’ll wait for updates from New Japan and DDT. Next up: El Desperado. Nominated by Takahashi. That match will happen at Tokyo Dome.

UPDATE: And as luck would have it in the match above, per DDT…Hiromu Takahashi beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Taiji Ishimori to win the title. Takahashi becomes the 1589th Champion. As of now the title match vs. Kazuki Hirata on 11/12 is back on.

Main Event: IWGP US (UK) Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay beat Shota Umino to retain the title.V3 for Ospreay. They went over 40 minutes. Next up: Very much up in the air. Reports yesterday were that if Umino won the title, he would face Moxley at Tokyo Dome. Also uncertainty because Ospreay reportedly will be a free agent soon as his contract is up early next year and he has been talking a lot about wanting to go to Impact Wrestling/TNA Wrestling (he was just there when Impact went to England-a reminder that if you saw him compete yesterday at Turning Point, that event was TAPED. It happened over a week ago), but I wouldn’t rule out WWE because his significant other is there (Blair Davenport, the former Bea Priestley, currently in NXT). But after the match, Finlay came out with a hammer and laid both Ospreay & Moxley out and destroyed the title belts as Gedo demanded a new belt be created for Finlay. Which, in typical Bullet Club fashion, sent the crowd home VERY UNHAPPY. Usually that’s reserved for House Of Torture because it takes AN AWFUL LOT to get booed in Japan, even as the most despicable heels, and especially like they do (I don’t know if even The Callous Hand Of Don would get reactions like that). Or simply put, you have to do stuff like that to get serious heat and hate from the normally very-respectful Japanese fans.

The next event is Lonestar Shootout Friday at Curtis Culwell Center in Garland Park, TX. While New Japan World hasn’t confirmed it yet, and likely won’t before then as it’ll be last-minute following their new relaunch the day before (you can’t subscribe or cancel until then), unlike Fighting Spirit Unleashed all indications are this will be a PPV with additional purchase required. It is not available for pre-order yet. New Japan World version will be Japanese only. The English broadcast will be a PPV on FITE and is now available for pre-order for $19.99. The broadcasts will begin Friday at 5 PM PT/8 PM ET.

On the Japan side, the next event is Anjo Rainy Days Saturday at Tochi Arena Anjo in Aichi. I think this is a Kazuchika Okada hometown event and he’ll probably be there as he’s not on Friday’s card but nothing has been announced for it yet. There will be no live or on demand broadcast. That will be followed by the New Japan Road tour, which this year will be only 2 events-11/17 at Yamagata Big Wing in Yamagata and 11/19 at Light Cube Utsunomiya in Tochigi. 11/17 will be live & on demand on New Japan World while there will be no broadcast for 11/19. After that will be the World Tag League, the final annual tournament of the year, from 11/20-12/10 (probably all live & on demand but the December broadcast schedule has not yet been announced-all the November events will be on New Japan World). followed by the year-ending Road To Tokyo Dome tour, which will be a doubleheader on 12/21 & 12/22 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo to wrap up 2023.

Impact Wrestling “Turning Point” NON-SPOILER Results (11/3/23)

The event will be available on demand starting at that time on Impact+ for subscribers ($7.99/month or $71.99/year), YouTube for Ultimate Insider subscribers ($4.99/month), and as a PPV on FITE ($9.99). A FREE pre-show with 2 matches will air at 4:30 PM PT/7:30 PM ET on all providers. I will be watching the YouTube Ultimate Insider version.

4:30 PM PT UPDATE: Made it home in time for the pre-show so live updates begin early.

We are TAPED from the Walker Dome in Newcastle, England. Your hosts are Thom Hannifan & Matt Rehwoldt.

Pre-show:
Match 1: Grado & Rhino vs. Mike D & Richards (?). The locals were already in the ring as the broadcast started.
Result: Grado & Rhino beat Mike D & Richards. Rhino pinned Richards after GORE.
Match 2: Mark Haskins vs. Leon Slater. During the UK Invasion tour, Slater was signed to a contract by the promotion
Result: Leon Slater beat Mark Haskins. Slater retained his North Wrestling Championship as a result

End Pre-show (4:57 PM PT). Main show/PPV begins in 2 minutes.

Main show:
Match 1: Josh Alexander & Eric Young vs. Subculture
Result; Josh Alexander & Eric Young beat Subculture. Alexander pinned Mark Andrews after C4 Spike.

Leon Slater video package. He’ll join Impact/TNA in 2024.

Match 2: Gisele Shaw vs. Alex Windsor
Result: Gisele Shaw beat Alex Windsor

Simon Miller promo.

Match 3: Rich Swann vs. Trey Miguel
Result: Rich Swann beat Trey Miguel. Miguel may have gotten his shoulder up before the 3 count but the ref may have missed it. Tough call from the camera angles. No instant replay.

Dani Luna promo.
Match 4: Dani Luna vs. Jordynne Grace
Result: Jordynne Grace beat Dani Luna

Match 5: Joe Hendry vs. Simon Miller
Result: Joe Hendry beat Simon Miller

Footage from Gut Check 2023 held during the UK Invasion Tour. The winners-Mike D (men) & Harley Hudson (women) get to go to Canada and train at the Can-Am Dojo with a chance to eventually earn an Impact Wrestling contract.

Match 6: Frankie Kazarian & Chris Sabin vs. Moose & Brian Myers
Result: Moose & Brian Myers beat Frankie Kazarian & Chris Sabin. Moose pinned Kazarian after a spear.

Match 7: Impact Knockouts Champion Trinity vs. Deonna Purrazzo for the title. Gail Kim is special guest referee. If Purrazzo loses, no more title shots for her as long as Trinity is champion
Result: Impact Knockouts Champion Trinity beat Deonna Purrazzo by submission to retain the title. No more chances for Purrazzo as long as Trinity is champion. Afterwards, Purrazzo ambushed Trinity from behind and b*tch slapped Kim, but Kim came back with Eat Defeat to send Purrazzo packing. (There are rumors Purrazzo is about to be a free agent with her contract expiring so the question is whether or not she will be back after a while like Jordynne Grace did)

Main Event: Will Ospreay vs. Eddie Edwards
Result: Will Ospreay beat Eddie Edwards

Ospreay post-match promo. He has a “huge announcement” to make in response to fan questions first…he fixed his kitchen. HA! That joke aside, he put Impact/TNA over and sent the crowd home happy.

While the matches were solid as always, the video quality of this event was not as good as usual, in particular with the ringside cameras. No issues with the hard camera but the ringside cameras were like the ones New Japan has used recently as US events, not high-quality. The sound quality/level was off a little for the main show after the pre-show. Those took a bit away from the experience for me. Main show was a little shorter than usual, including the show-ending promo it was only 2 hours 40 minutes. If the gripes about video quality don’t bother you, it’s another great show and as usual the Europe crowd was hot all event. Europe fans are always hot even if you don’t get their constant singing like they do at soccer matches.

End Show.
