NOAH News: Tag Team Title Update

A short time ago on their English social media accounts, Pro Wrestling NOAH posted an update on the GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, which are considered vacant. Apparently Jack Morris & Daga have still refused to vacate the titles after prior champion Omos gave his half to Daga earlier this year due to returning to WWE after the 1/1 event. Morris & Daga are now vowing to defend the titles on their own terms. NOAH still considers the titles vacant and does not recognize the transfer from Omos to Daga. But for now the promotion may go along with this…

More as it becomes available.

Injury Report: Falling Angels (Updated)

It’s a really bad time to be part of Cosmic Angels in Stardom-recently they’ve lost all their titles, their leader in Tam Nakano (now forced to be a freelancer and possibly retiring on 4/27) and now Natsupoi for the time being. Undisclosed injury. Out indefinitely but at least a week, probably 3/9 for sure as it’s including the next event. Technically 3/8 is the next event but it will only have Cinderella Tournament matches. No further details were announced pending further examinations.

More as it becomes available.

UPDATE: Indefinitely is at least a week because Tokyo Sports reports Natsupoi is now off a Sareee-produced event on 3/10 that she was scheduled to be on. Saori Anou is the replacement.

BREAKING: TJPW Announcer Leaving Promotion (Updated)

Breaking news via the socials from Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling, and it’s equally sad & surprising-their popular ring announcer, Sayuri Namba, is leaving the promotion this summer. Of course they’re billing it as “graduating” (so presumably it’s either a mutual decision or expiring contract that won’t be renewed but surely she’s leaving on good terms) but no further details have been revealed yet and she hasn’t posted anything yet on social media about it. Her final TJPW event will be 6/22 at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo and a special event before that will be held on 6/14 at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring. She has been with the promotion for almost 7 years as a ring announcer and also has been an MMA ring card girl and also an actress. Also no word yet on her future plans but, nonetheless, she will be greatly missed in TJPW.

More as it becomes available.,

UPDATE: DDT has posted an official news item and press conference transcript and Namba has posted on social media about it. She wants to live and work overseas, not necessarily in wrestling, and is planning to relocate to Canada this summer, possibly seeking work as a Japanese language teacher and with perhaps the goal of eventually moving to the USA. The door to a return as a ring announcer or to TJPW will never be closed though, and she expressed interest in possibly returning for events outside Japan, as they have started coming to the US a couple times annually (on average).

Dragon Gate 3/2/25 Results

Dragon Gate kicked off the 2025 Rey De Parejas, their annual tag team tournament, yesterday as the second half of an Osaka doubleheader.

Yesterday’s event was held at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka and can be watched on demand on DRAGONGATE NETWORK.

The announced paid attendance was 778, a super full house/very near sellout.

Match 1: Rey De Parejas Block B: Strong Machine J & Kzy beat Masaaki Mochizuki & Akihiro Sahara. Kzy pinned Sahara.

Match 2: KAI beat U-T.

Match 3: Rey De Parejas Block A: ISHIN & Yoshiki Kato vs. Kota Minoura & Jason Lee went to a 20 minute time limit draw.

Match 4: Ben-K, Madoka Kikuta, Ryoya Tanaka & Luis Mante beat YAMATO, Susumu Yokosuka, Don Fujii & GenkI Horiguchi. Kikuta pinned Horiguchi after a rolling lariat.

Main Event: Rey De Parejas Block A: Riiita & JACKY KAMEI beat Yuki Yoshioka & Dragon Dia. KAMEI pinned Yoshioka after JFK.

The next event is tomorrow at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. Live streaming on DRAGONGATE NETWORK will begin at 1:30 AM PT/4:30 AM ET. And unfortunately, unless there is a change of plans, this will be the last live/on demand broadcast of the month until the Finals on 3/30.

Stardom 3/3/25 Results (Updated)

Stardom ran a weekday night event in Tokyo today, a big event with major ramifications for the future of the promotion based on the main event.

Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on Stardom World. You can also watch the main event FOR FREE on YouTube. Today’s event has Japanese commentary with Haruo Murata & Ami Sohrei among others. Having commentary & onscreen graphics suggests this may have also been a live Samurai! TV broadcast in Japan.

The paid attendance has not yet been announced but it was a legit advance sellout with standing room only tickets sold today. (UPDATE: The paid attendance was not announced)

Match 1: Aya Sakura & Akira Kurogame beat HANAKO & Yuria Hime. Sakura pinned Hime.

Match 2: Suzu Suzuki, Lluvia (CMLL) & Tabata (CMLL) beat Hazuki, Koguma & Momo Kohgo. Lluvia pinned Kohgo after a modified Gory Bomb.

Match 3: Konami, Ruaka, Rina & Azusa Inaba beat Natsupoi, Saori Anou, Yuna Mizumori & Sayaka Kurara. Rina pinned Kurara after Pink Devil. Quite an exciting day for Rina as she posted earlier in the day on social media that she had just graduated from high school.

Match 4: Syuri, Saki Kashima & Hina beat Saya Iida, Hanan & Mayu Iwatani in 35 seconds. Kashima pinned Hanan.

Match 5: Momo Watanabe, Thekla & Natsuko Tora beat Maika, Rian & Waka Tsukiyama. Thekla pinned Rian after Poisonous Spider Drop.

Match 6: In a 3 Falls Match, High Speed Champion Mei Seira beat Fukigen 2-1 to retain the title. V5 for Seira.

Match 7: Artist Of Stardom Champions AZM, Starlight Kid & Miyu Amasaki beat Lady C, Ranna Yagami & Tomoka Inaba to retain the titles. AZM pinned C after Numero Uno. V1 for the champs.

Main Event: In a Loser Leaves Stardom Match, Saya Kamitani beat Tam Nakano. As a result, Nakano must leave Stardom. Bur first…because this is how god-awful the booking/matchmaking in Stardom has been since last summer…rematch on 4/27 for the World Of Stardom Championship held by Kamitani. AND…the loser must RETIRE. Well, hopefully that means the official end of Tam Road for good. It better be.

The next event is the 2025 Cinderella Tournament starting Saturday at Yokohama Budokan in Yokohama. Live streaming on Stardom World as a PPV will begin Friday at 11 PM PT/2 AM ET. This is the annual tournament for younger and less-experienced wrestlers and can help launch the winner to new heights in their career, plus the winner also received a Cinderella-style gown. The entire field for the tournament, which is single-elimination bracket format, was also announced today: Yuria Hime, Akira Kurogame, Rian, Ranna Yagami, Sayaka Kurara, HANAKO, Aya Sakura, Miyu Amasaki, Lady C, Hina, Rina, Ruaka, Tabata, Azusa Inaba, Tomoka Inaba, Hanan.
Hanan won last year’s tournament and will be going for 2 straight-since winning the tournament last year she has gone on to become the current Goddesses Of Stardom Champion.

Also, Stardom has completely re-done their website effective today (3/4 Japan time). It also appears they have launched an official app, but only in Japan.

UPDATE: Following the main event, President Taro Okada has announced that Nakano’s Stardom contract has been/will be terminated and she will no longer be exclusive to the promotion. Nakano will now be a freelancer.

Pro Wrestling NOAH “MEMORIAL VOYAGE 2025 in YOKOHAMA” LIVE Results (3/2/25) (Updated x3)

Pro Wrestling NOAH continues their year-long 25th Anniversary celebration today with their next blowout event, MEMORIAL VOYAGE 2025 in YOKOHAMA. The big match is quite the main event-a rare double title match as OZAWA & Manabu Soya face off in a Lumberjack Death Match for both the GHC Heavyweight and GHC National Championships. The lumberjacks presumably will be Team 2000X & Ratels, among others, and despite the intent it promises to be chaos on paper and based on recent events & press conferences. Before that, today also wraps up the 2025 NOAH Jr. Tag League as outsiders Mark Trew & Kieron Lacey look to cap off a perfect run through the tournament as the only unbeaten team in the field-they’ll face AMAKUSA & Junta Miyawaki in the Finals. A pair of special NOAH 25th Anniversary matches are also on the card.

Today’s event will be held at Yokohama Budokan in Yokohama and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in ENGLISH ONLY. This will also be edited/clipped because the event is a live and exclusive ABEMA broadcast in Japan (the unedited Japanese version will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE shortly after the event concludes). You will also be able to watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube (which will be the ABEMA version). There are 8 matches and we won’t know time limits until event time except for the Jr. Tag League Finals (no time limit) and main event (presumably 1 Hour), but since this is a blowout event I’m guessing it’ll be an all-nighter in the US with a running time of close to 4 hours. (Update-based on match time limits I think it’s going to be about 3 1/4 hours)

Today’s lineup:
Eita, Daiki Odashima, Alejandro & Kai Fujimura vs. Atsushi Kotoge, Hajime Ohara, Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox
Shuhei Taniguchi & Black Menso-re vs. Anthony Greene & Zozaya
Kaito Kiyomiya & Galeno vs. Takashi Sugiura & Masao Inoue
Jack Morris, Tetsuya Endo, Daga & Owadasan vs. HAYATA, YO-HEY, Tadasuke & Yuto Kikuchi
Kenoh & KENTA vs. Kazuyuki Fujita & Ulka Sasaki
Naomichi Marufuji vs. Masa Kitamiya
NOAH Jr. Tag League Finals: Mark Trew & Kieron Lacey vs. AMAKUSA & Junta Miyawaki
GHC Heavyweight Champion OZAWA vs. GHC National Champion Manabu Soya in a Lumberjack Death Match for the titles (Double Title)

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will begin at 10 PM PT/1 AM ET. The WRESTLE UNIVERSE stream is scheduled to begin 15 minutes before the event.

9:40 PM PT UPDATE: The YouTube broadcast has just begun. This will be the ABEMA version in Japanese for the first 2 matches only.

9:45 PM PT UPDATE: The WRESTLE UNIVERSE broadcast has just begun. We should be going to the venue and the live event in about 15 minutes.

9:50 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Yokohama Budokan in Yokohama, Japan. Your hosts are Stewart Fulton & Mike Schallunder (sp?). Former NOAH wrestler Akitoshi Saito is a guest on Japanese commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. The venue’s listed max capacity is 3000 but I anticipate it being nowhere near that (the setup is probably for closer to 2300). These big events tend to draw poor-sounding crowds (1/1 was an exception) so while the crowd is still filing in we can only hope they can draw over 1000 and maybe push 1500. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1605. Against the likely setup, I’ll call that good)

The matches should begin in 15-20 minutes.

The matches begin at 10:05 PM PT/1:05 AM ET.

Match 1: Eita, Daiki Odashima, Alejandro & Kai Fujimura vs. Atsushi Kotoge, Hajime Ohara, Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox. 15 minute time limit
Result: Eita, Daiki Odashima, Alejandro & Kai Fujimura beat Atsushi Kotoge, Hahime Ohara, Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox. Alejandro pinned Kotoge.

Match 2: Shuhei Taniguchi & Black Menso-re (Independent/Freelancer) vs. Anthony Greene & Zozaya. 20 minute time limit
Result: Anthony Greene & Zozaya beat Shuhei Taniguchi & Black Menso-re. Greene pinned Menso-re after a piledriver.

The YouTube broadcast ends here.

Match 3: Kaito Kiyomiya & Galeno vs. Takashi Sugiura & Masao Inoue. 20 minute time limit
Result: Kaito Kiyomiya & Galeno beat Takashi Sugiura & Masao Inoue. Kiyomiya pinned Inoue after Transformed Shining Wizard.

Match 4: Jack Morris, Tetsuya Endo, Daga & Owadasan vs. HAYATA, YO-HEY, Tadasuke & Yuto Kikuchi. 20 minute time limit (Side note: Although Morris & Daga had the GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Championship belts with them, they are not recognized as champions. The titles are vacant because Morris & Omos were stripped of the titles due to Omos gifting his half to Daga when he left NOAH to reportedly return to WWE earlier this year)
Result: Jack Morris, Tetsuya Endo, Daga & Owadasan beat HAYATA, YO-HEY, Tadasuke & Yuto Kikuchi. Endo pinned Kikuchi after a low blow.

Intermission. During the break we see recorded footage of brief interviews with Manabu Soya & OZAWA during their arrivals earlier today.

The matches resume at 11:25 PM PT/2:25 AM ET (10 minute break).

Match 5: Kenoh & KENTA vs. Kazuyuki Fujita & Ulka Sasaki. 30 minute time limit
Result: Kenoh & KENTA beat Kazuyuki Fujita & Ulka Sasaki. KENTA pinned Sasaki after GO 2 SLEEP.

Match 6: Naomichi Marufuji vs. Masa Kitamiya. 30 minute time limit
Result: Masa Kitamiya beat Naomichi Marufuji

Match 7: NOAH Jr. Tag League Finals: Mark Trew & Kieron Lacey vs. AMAKUSA & Junta Miyawaki. No time limit
Result: AMAKUSA & Junta Miyawaki beat Mark Trew & Kieron Lacey by ref stoppage (KO) to win the tournament. Trew was legit knocked out and possibly injured (commentary was thinking concussion) after an AMAKUSA swanton bomb from the corner while Trew was hanging on the middle rope just past the 10 minute mark. As a result, AMAKUSA & Miyawaki will get a future title shot against GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions HAYATA & YO-HEY.

Main Event: GHC Heavyweight Champion OZAWA vs. GHC National Champion Manabu Soya in a Lumberjack Death Match for the titles (Double Title). 1 Hour time limit
Result: GHC Heavyweight Champion OZAWA beat GHC National Champion Manaby Soya to retain the Heavyweight title and win the National title. OZAWA becomes the 16th GHC National Champion. V2 for OZAWA. During the match, Tadasuke turned on Ratels and defected to Team 2000X. Next up: Kitamiya. Of course the question is will it be for one or both titles? Although during this promo, OZAWA acted like he was perhaps going to somehow get rid of the GHC National Championship as he just tossed the belt away and disrespected it. Then he called out All-Japan wrestler Yuma Anzai and also New Japan wrestler Ryohei Oiwa. What happens next? We shall see when the post-event news/fallout starts rolling out in the next few hours.

The next event is Saturday at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 1:30 AM PT/4:30 AM ET. For those in the US this will be the last event before the spring time change (clocks go forward 1 hour so events will start one hour later than they have been the last 4 months).

UPDATE: It’s now official-OZAWA vs. Kitamiya has been announced but is only for the GHC Heavyweight Championship. That match will happen on 3/22 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, along with GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion Eita vs. Alejandro for the title and GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions HAYATA & YO-HEY vs. AMAKUSA & Junta Miyawaki for the titles. As for the GHC National Championship, while no official announcement has been made, according to NOAH’s official website and a social media post by OZAWA the title is now VACANT. OZAWA claims he gave it up because he didn’t need it.

Regarding Mark Trew, the update on his status is he was initially diagnosed with a suspected concussion at the venue, and he was hospitalized for further examination but no abnormalities were found. So it sounds like he will be okay going forward, which is good news.

UPDATE 2: Per a statement in Japanese posted just after 7 AM PT/10 AM ET from Eita & Daiki Odashima, their tag team has disbanded. They were simply known as TBA.

UPDATE 3 (3/6/25): NOAH has announced that, following the further examinations, Trew did not suffer any serious injuries and is recovering well. No word on when he will be able to return but this is great news.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. It’s a very small-looking setup, may not even be 100. It’s not fully sold out. They’ll probably overstate it but from what I see I’m going to guess about 80. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 178)

The matches will begin momentarily. The tournament matches are first. The title match is the main event.

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

Result: New Blood Tag Team Champions Waka Tsukiyama & HANAKO beat Nanami & Himiko to retain the titles. Tsukiyama pinned Himiko after a swanton bomb. V1 for the champs. Next up: As noted above, Sakura & Mizumori. Question now is when but I think it’ll be 3/27 after the Cinderella Tournament.

The next event is tomorrow at TKP Garden City Chiba in Chiba. There will be no live broadcast.

For the next major event Monday at Korakuen Hall, that event will be live on Stardom World, and in an unusual move you will also be able to watch the main event (Tam Nakano vs. Saya Kamitani in a Loser Leaves Stardom match, this is a NON-TITLE match with regards to the World Of Stardom Championship held by Kamitani) LIVE FOR FREE on YouTube. That will be followed by the Cinderella Tournament 2025 on 3/8, 3/9 and 3/15. 3/9 will be live on Stardom World but 3/8 and 3/15 will be PPVs. In fact, there are a ridiculous FOUR PPVs this month which also includes 3/20 & 3/22 in Okinawa. Tomorrow is the only non-live event all month (3/29 & 3/30 are live, 3/27 will be YouTube for NEW BLOOD 20).
