July 1st New Japan Cup Results

Results for the July 1st New Japan Cup will be posted during the show (6AM Eastern on 7/1).

Match Announcements

• Tomohiro Ishii, Toru Yano, Yota Tsuji vs. Tetsuya Naito, Shingo Takagi, and Hiromu Takahashi

Yoshi-Hashi defeats Bushi – 10:23

• Bushi attacked Yoshi-Hashi before the bell, and the referee called for the bell. Not sure why the ref would call for the bell under those circumstances as Yoshi-Hashi still had his entrance gear on.
• Yoshi-Hashi used Karma to secure the pinfall victory over Bushi.

Sanada defeats Sho – 14:43

• Sho meets another member of LIJ in this second round match. He defeated Shingo Takagi in the first round.
• After Sho escaped Skull End several times, Sanada eventually cinched it in with the body scissors to secure the submission victory. Sho looked good.

Takagi, Naito, Takahashi defeat Ishii, Yano, Tsuji – 13:05

• This match previews the third round match of Tomohiro Ishii vs. Hiromu Takahashi. It also looks back at the second round match of Hiromu Takahashi vs. Toru Yano.
• Hiromu Takahashi used a Boston Crab to submit Yota Tsuji.

Taichi defeats Kota Ibushi – 18:08

• Zack Sabre accompanies Taichi to the ring while Tanahashi accompanies Ibushi. This furthers the future program over the IWGP Tag Team titles.
• After a whole bunch of interference, Taichi used the iron claw behind the referee’s back to get the pinfall victory.

Evil defeats Goto – 18:24

• Evil made his entrance first and then stood outside the ring blocking the steps. As a result, Goto made his entrance and they began by fighting on the outside.
• Capitalizing on a low blow, Evil hit Everything is Evil to win by pinfall.
