TJPW News: Yet Another 7/8 Change

Tokyo Joshi Pro has made yet another change to this weekend’s SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23 card, but again it’s for an existing match and not a bad change-at the request of Miyu Yamashita, who just returned from a successful title defense in England, her match against Sawyer Wreck will now be for the Pro Wrestling EVE Championship under Spirit Of EVE rules. That means 30 minute time limit, no countouts and not displaying enough fighting spirit in the referee’s view results in being DQ’d. This will be the 7th defense of the title for Yamashita. It makes a total of 4 title matches on the event between TJPW and other titles. (And for those wondering, still no word on when the vacant Princess Tag Team Championship situation will be resolved)

Injury Report: Ryuki Honda Update (Updated 7/6)

At yesterday’s All-Japan event, Ryuki Honda appeared to be legit knocked unconscious early in a tag match with Masao Hanabata against Hokuto Omori & Naoki Tanisaki. All-Japan has now provided an update on Honda’s condition-he legit fainted during the match and wasn’t moving as he was stretchered out and the finish was rushed to by Omori & Tanisaki (Honda’s eyes appeared open on a close-up shot after the match ended). He was taken straight to a hospital afterwards and the diagnosis is in following examination. Mild concussion. Out indefinitely. He will be required to rest for 2-3 days. That means he is very questionable right now for the next event on 7/8.

More as it becomes available.

7/6 UPDATE: Honda has been cleared to return and will be on the 7/8 event as scheduled.

Yes, THAT Kota Ibushi (who hasn’t been seen since he unceremoniously left New Japan following an injury suffered in the 2021 G1 CLIMAX Finals). He has been reportedly linked to All Elite Wrestling but that hasn’t happened and seems very unlikely.

All-Japan Pro Wrestling 7/2/23 Results

All-Japan begins their july schedule today with a second straight major event, this time the focus is on the Aoyagi brothers. Atsuki Aoyagi is currently the All-Japan World Jr. Heavyweight Champion and he’ll look to keep that title while brother Yuma Aoyagi is next to challenge New Japan stalwart Yuji Nagata and try to reclaim the Triple Crown today. The smaller Aoyagi defends against GLEAT star El Lindaman, part of a large contingent of GLEAT participation today.

There also have been some last minute changes to the event due to Shuji Ishikawa and Oji Shiiba being off the event due to injuries. A couple of early matches were changed, most notably adding Tomoaki Honma participation from New Japan as a replacement for Ishikawa. Ryo Kawamura is the other injury replacement, filling in for Shiiba.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on AJPW.TV. Since it’s Korakuen and may be a TV simulcast on Japan (either Samurai! TV or GAORA, probably the former) there should be Japanese commentary. With 2 title matches among the 7 matches and based on time limits I would expect this event to have a total running time of between 2 1/2-3 hours but it wouldn’t go more than 4 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Soma Watanabe, Rising Hayato & Ryo Inoue vs. Hikaru Sato, Dan Tamura & Ryo Kawamura
Yoshitatsu & Black Menso-re vs. Kotaro Suzuki & Hartley Jackson
Hokuto Omori & Naoki Tanisaki vs. Ryuki Honda & Masao Hanabata
Suwama, Satoshi Kojima, Kaz Hayashi & Minoru Tanaka vs. Jun & Rei Saito, Toshizo & KONO
Kento Miyahara & T-Hawk vs. Tomoaki Honma & Ren Ayabe
All-Japan World Jr. Heavyweight Champion Atsuki Aoyagi vs. El Lindaman for the title
All-Japan Triple Crown Champion Yuji Nagata vs. Yuma Aoyagi for the Triple Crown

The paid attendance should be announced after the event. They didn’t announce attendance for their last event and their website has been somewhat broken the last couple days so we’ll see. From what I saw when we went back at the start it looked like a good crowd with some empty bleachers on either side opposite hard camera. Could be near or around 1000. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1047)

The event begins with today’s lineup video. When we return commentary comes online, we have Japanese commentary.
