New Japan claiming 3,500 paid…..

These are spoilers on the NOAH 7/18 Tokyo Dome show. The promotion and N-TV put a delay on all reporters from reporting results immediately:

1. Masaji Aoyagi, Takashi Sugiura, & SUWA defeated Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, Mitsuo Momota, & Katsuhiko Nakajima when SUWA used the FFF facebuster on Kikuchi for the win.

2. Mohammed Yone & Takeshi Morishima defeated Tamon Honda & Go Shiozaki when Yone used the Muscle Buster on Shiozaki for the win.

3. Akitoshi Saito, Shiro Koshinaka, Masao Inoue, & Kishin Kawabata defeated Akira Taue, Naoki Sano, Jun Izumida, & Haruka Eigen when Inoue used an inside cradle on Izumida for the win.

4. Mushiking Terry defeated Black Mask (Ikuto Hidaka?) with the Tequila Sunrise.

5. GHC Jr. Title Match: KENTA defeated Yoshinobu Kanemaru with the go-2-sleep to win the title.

6. GHC Tag Titles Match: Naomichi Marufuji & Minoru Suzuki defeated Jun Akiyama & Makoto Hashi in 25 minutes, 55 seconds when Marufuji used an avalanche-style (top-rope) shiranui on Hashi for the win.

Yoshihiro Takayama arrived in the building.

7. GHC Heavyweight Title Match: Takeshi Rikio defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi in around 15 minutes with the Muso finisher.

8. Gen'ichiro Tenryu defeated Yoshinari Ogawa after the 53 years old and a lariat. Magnum Tokyo was Tenryu's ring second.

9. Kenta Kobashi defeated Kensuke Sasaki with a lariat. Kobashi came out to the GRAND SWORD theme song. Mega-heat and people already pushing it as match of the year in Japan. Kobashi threw everything at the kitchen sink as far as his offense goes.

10. Mitsuharu Misawa defeated Toshiaki Kawada in 27 minutes with a running elbow bat for the win. After the match, Kawada got on the microphone and said that the period that was supposed to be placed at the end (of the series against Misawa) was not able to be placed. The indication is that his participation in the NOAH mat may continue...

The crowd (unofficially) is said to be in the 50-52,000 range. Spoiler coverage done.
