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.

Yesterday’s event was held at Umeda Stellar Hall in Osaka and will be available on demand on YouTube tomorrow at 3 AM PT/6 AM ET. There was no live broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 214.

Before the event began, Takehiro Yamamura, Soma Watanabe, Junjie & JD Lee came out and announced their new faction will be known as G-RIZE.

Match 1: KAZMA SAKAMOTO & Koki Iwasaki beat Issei Onitsuka & Kumaarashi. SAKAMOTO pinned Onitsuka after Trans Rave.

Match 2: Chris Ridgeway beat Yu Iizuka by submission.

Match 3: Minoru Tanaka, Takanori Ito & MICHIKO beat Tetsuya Izuchi, Keiichi Sato & AKARI. Ito pinned Sato with a German suplex hold.

Match 4: Hayato Tamura & Quiet Storm beat Parker Boudreaux & Macy Boudreaux. Storm pinned Macy Boudreaux after 53cm Arm Lariat.

Match 5: Ryo Aitaka beat Seiichi Ikemoto.

Match 6: T-Hawk, El Lindaman & Seiki Yoshioka beat Ryuichi Kawakami, Brass Knuckles JUN & Chris Weiss. T-Hawk beat JUN with a cobra twist. Afterwards, a beatdown by the losers on T-Hawk happened until Ryo Aitaka made the save. Then Aitaka asked for a match against T-Hawk. Agreed to. 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. 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 live version will be edited/clipped. The full unedited version should be available on demand after the event.

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.

DDT Pro Wrestling “DDT x DEFY” LIVE Results (11/9/24)

For the second event of the cross-promoted tripleheader this weekend, DDT is running another US event with independent promotion DEFY Wrestling. This event will feature several crossover matches between DDT wrestlers and DEFY & other independent stars, and also an appearance by current All Elite Wrestling member Marina Shafir, plus a huge title match as DDT Universal Champion MAO defends the title in a 3-way against TNA Wrestling and independent sensation Mike Bailey and Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling’s Miyu Yamashita, in the latter’s second title match today. Konosuke Takeshita will also compete in a match against Kohei Kinoshita. That and plenty more.

Today’s event will be held at Historic Washington Hall in Seattle, WA and can be watched LIVE only on Triller/FITE with a Triller+ subscription ($7.99/month or $69.99/year). It WILL NOT be available live or on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. Right now there look to be 8 matches scheduled, but with Yuni and Danshoku DIeno both on the card you can’t rule out some DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship craziness either…anyway, there may or may not be time limits but I anticipate the event will run around 2 1/2 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Marina Shafir vs. TBA
Danshoku DIeno vs. Randy Myers
Cody Chhun & Guillermo Rosas vs. Bryan Keith & Shota and Eddie Pearl & Ricky Gibson in a 3-way
Gringo Loco vs. Yuni
Nick Wayne vs. Jack Cartwheel
Daisuke Sasaki & Artemis Spencer vs. Gurv & Harv Sihra
Konosuke Takeshita vs. Kohei Kinoshita
DDT Universal Champion MAO vs. Mike Bailey & Miyu Yamashita in a 3-way for the title

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

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

8 PM PT UPDATE: The event will begin in 30 seconds.

Live updates begin now.

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

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Looks niticeably smaller than Tokyo Joshi Pro earlier today which did 405 so I’m guessing it’ll be closer to 350. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 447, a full house/near sellout)

Match 1: Gringo Loco vs. Yuni
Result: Gringo Loco beat Yuni

Match 2: Danshoku DIeno vs. Randy Myers
Result: Randy Myers beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Danshoku Dieno to win the title. Myers becomes the 1691st Champion. But that wasn’t the actual match as the title change happened in the crowd BEFORE they even got into the ring, so…which led to…
Match 2 (again, for real this time): Danshoku Dieno vs. Randy Myers
In progress. And during the match after a ref bump, we get an appearance by…YOSHIHIKO!!!
Result: Danshoku Dieno beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Randy Myers to win the title. Dieno becomes the 1692nd Champion. Classic DDT Dieno comedy match.

Match 3: Nick Wayne vs. Jack Cartwheel
Result: Nick Wayne beat Jack Cartwheel

Match 4: Cody Chhun & Guillermo Rosas vs. Bryan Keith & Shota and Eddie Pearl & Ricky Gibson in a 3-way
Result: Cody Chhun & Guillermo Rosas beat Bryan Keith & Shota and Eddie Pearl & Ricky Gibson in a 3-way when Chhun/Rosas pinned Shota.

Match 5: Daisuke Sasaki & Artemis Spencer vs. Gurv & Harv Sihra
Actually, not yet because Marina Shafir came out. So the tag match is not next. Instead…

Match 5: Danica De La Rush vs. Marina Shafir
Result: Marina Shafir beat Danica De La Rush by submission. Shafir retains the DEFY Women’s World Championship. Immediately afterwards, Shoko Nakajima hit the ring. With microphone. Title challenge issued. We’ll see what happens but commentary suggests it could happen tomorrow. (Update a few minutes afterwards…it’s now official. Tomorrow)

Let’s try the above again…
Match (now) 6: Daisuke Sasaki & Artemis Spencer vs. Gurv & Harv Sihra
Result: Gurv & Harv Sihra beat Daisuke Sasaki & Artemis Spencer. One of the Sihras pinned Spencer after Bollywood Blast.

Match 7: Konosuke Takeshita vs. Kohei Kinoshita
Result: Konosuke Takeshita beat Kohei Kinoshita

Main Event: DDT Universal Champion MAO vs. Mike Bailey & Miyu Yamashita in a 3-way for the title
Result: Miyu Yamashita beat DDT Universal Champion MAO & Mike Bailey in a 3-way by pinning Bailey to win the title. Yamashita becomes the 15th DDT Universal Champion. A clusterf**k of awesome. And now the first woman champion as Yamashita is a double champion for now. What an upset! But this could mean a change to tomorrow…Yamashita is scheduled to face Gringo Loco. And Loco came out at the end. With microphone. Not surprisingly, he wants tomorrow to be for the title. Yamashita accepts in English, throwing down an anytime, anywhere challenge. This brings out Nick Wayne. Despite being a heel in AEW, Wayne gets the hometown pop. After winning 2 matches today (his match on AEW Collision was taped earlier this week), he now wants in and to make tomorrow a 3-way. But he says it’s up to Yamashita. Accepted in English. We’ll see you tomorrow!

The next event, the third and final event of this tripleheader, is tomorrow, a joint DDT/DEFY/TJPW event. Live streaming will be only on Triller+ and will begin at 4 PM PT/7 PM ET.

Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling “Bright Eyes” LIVE Results (11/9/24)

Tokyo Joshi Pro returns to the US today (it’s a Sunday morning breakfast time start in Japan) as part of a tripleheader weekend with DDT and independent promotion DEFY Wrestling, at least those roster members not staying in Japan for another event later today. Most of the matches are crossovers between TJPW and DEFY & other independent wrestlers and there is a title match scheduled as Princess Tag Team Champions Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defend the titles against Vertvixen & Nicole Matthews.

Today’s event will be held at Historic Washington Hall in Seattle, WA and can be watched LIVE only on Triller/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. There are 6 matches scheduled so this is probably going to be similar to a normal TJPW house show and have a running time of about 2 hours (they can’t go too long because there’s a DDT event later at the same venue).

Today’s lineup:
Rika Tatsumi & Amira vs. Suzume & Arisu Endo
Yuki Kamifuku vs. Wakana Uehara
Moka Miyamoto vs. Rebel Kel
Mizuki vs. Liiza Hall
Miu Watanabe & Shoko Nakajima vs. Yuki Aino & Zara Zakher
Princess Tag Team Champions Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh vs. Vertvixen & Nicole Matthews for the titles

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will begin at 2 PM PT/5 PM ET.

2 PM PT UPDATE; Live updates start now.

Mandatory FBI Warning then…

The event will begin shortly.

Mandatory FBI Warning again a couple minutes in…and now…

We are LIVE from Historic Washington Hall in Seattle, WA. When we go live Miu Watanabe is in the ring and greets the crowd in English and Japanese. She reads a pre-written greeting in English before asking everyone in Japanese and English to help to the “Start!” shout they begin events with. Obviously no Sayuri Namba because of today’s event later on in Japan. So we have to “settle” for who presumably is the regular DEFY ring announcer.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. I didn’t have a chance to look up the venue but despite commentary saying it’s a full house it is not a legit sellout, as there are several empty seats on the stage opposite hard camera. This will give us an idea of what to anticipate the rest of the weekend though. From what I can see and hear I’m guessing it’ll be around 300. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 405)

The matches begin right away. Your hosts are Rich Bocchini & Veda Scott.

Match 1: Rika Tatsumi & Amira vs. Suzume & Arisu Endo. The ring announcer botched the intros and almost introduced Tatsumi as Suzume’s partner instead of Endo. The crowd booed him heavily for this, haha.
Result: Suzume & Arisu Endo beat Rika Tatsumi & Amira. Suzume pinned Amira after Ring A Bell.

Match 2: Yuki Kamifuku vs. Wakana Uehara
Result: Yuki Kamifuku beat Wakana Uehara

Match 3: Moka Miyamoto vs. Rebel Kel
Result: Rebel Kel beat Moka Miyamoto

Match 4: Mizuki vs. Liiza Hall
Result: Mizuki beat Liiza Hall

Match 5: Miu Watanabe & Shoko Nakajima vs. Yuki Aino & Zara Zakher
Result: Yuki Aino & Zara Zakher beat Miu Watanabe & Shoko Nakajima. Zakher pinned Watanabe. That’s TWICE these last few months that Zakher has beaten the Princess Of Princess Champion! With Zakher now on the radar of WWE (her being announced as a WWE ID Prospect got a huge pop from the crowd) can third time be the charm? Next time it’s for the Princess Of Princess Championship.

Main Event: Princess Tag Team Champions Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh vs. Vertvixen & Nicole Matthews for the titles
Result: Princess Tag Team Champions Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh beat Vertvixen & Nicole Matthews to retain the titles. Yamashita pinned Matthews after Skull Kick. V1 for the champs. This was far & away the longest match of the event and then some. The champs closed things out with an English promo.

The next event is tomorrow at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin TONIGHT at 7:30 PM PT/10:30 PM ET.
