(NOAH) EVENT RECAP ~ KORAKUEN HALL, (SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 24TH 2019, "NAVIGATION FOR THE PROGRESS", NIGHT FOUR)

2/23/2019

Comments

 
Picture

​For many people who came to Korakuen Hall today, this will be the last time they see the green mat at Korakuen until the Misawa memorial in June. It was a poignant moment, as Noah is changing. Speaking of Misawa, Kenta Kobashi was at the show, but in an informal way, because he wasn't doing commentary. He was seen watching from the balcony (which was reminiscent of how Misawa used to watch SEM). I think Kobashi too wanted to say goodbye to the green ring.

There was said to be a good atmosphere today, and in an unusual move, Noah handed out blue glowsticks for the 50 Funky Powers entry.

Kaito Kiyomiya was on autograph duty (presumably battling through the pain of his left arm being attacked)

The event was pretty much go right from the beginning.


MATCH ONE
Kenoh, YO-HEY, HAYATA & Seiya Morohashi vs Hi69, Tadasuke, Kouki Iwasaki and Junta Miyawaki.

Kenoh started growling about being in the opening match on Twitter and concluded by saying that he didn't care, he would go on as he always had.
Tadasuke said this is a chance to get revenge against "the traitors".

HAYATA and Tadasuke started off, with fans noticing that Junta Miyawaki was said to be looking bigger.

Kenoh and Iwasaki got in the ring, stared each other down, and then started  trading kicks

YO-HEY with a beautiful dropkick, and while the hall behind Miyawaki for his first win, he was the one who got pinned. Speaking of Miyawaki, he seems to be developing a signature move, which I think is some kind of submission.

After the match, Tadasuke was seen to be speaking with YO-HEY, and then lingering outside of the ring.
This was going to be significant later...

WINNER: YO-HEY with the Face G on Junta Miyawaki (9 minutes and 53 seconds)
Picture

​MATCH TWO
GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag championship
Yoshinari Ogawa & Kotaro Suzuki vs the Backbreakers (Hajime Ohara & Hitoshi Kumano)

The Backbreakers attacked immediately without waiting for the bell, which is unusual for Hajime Ohara (although Kumano bought his plastic rice paddle to the ring, he didn't use it as a weapon).
It is rare to have a title match as the second match on a card.

HAYATA & YO-HEY were seconding, but there was no one for The Backbreakers, and despite theor row yesterday (which was probably done to play mind games knowing the pair of them), Suzuki and Ogawa worked well together, and the match was said to be Kumano's breakout.

Kumano and Suzuki had a "lariat slugfest" (credit Abeshin)

After the match Tadasuke came out to the ring, then Daisuke Harada came out. Fans thought they were probably going to challenge the new champions, but HAYATA turned and attacked YO-HEY and then Ogawa.
RATELS had gotten back together (naturally minus YO-HEY).
Tadasuke hugged HAYATA, and Harada then announced that he and HAYATA would be challenging the new champions for the tag titles. HAYATA, when asked what he thought, said "Same".

Match will most likely take place in Yokohama on March 10th.

WINNER: Kotaro Suzuki with the Tiger Driver on Hitoshi Kumano (14 minutes and 46 seconds)
Picture

​MATCH THREE
Masa Kitamiya vs Eddie Edwards
"Eddie is on Noah's mat again"

Korakuen Hall were cheering for Edwards and he had the green and white streamers. He was also presented with a bouquet of flowers.

Very intense match (Edwards throwing chops at Kitamiya), and said to be very traditional Noah in style (Edwards is Noah born, Kitamiya is not) (credit, Metal Noah).
There was a shake of hands at the end

A fan later commented;

"Eddie Edwards with Mitsuharu Misawa
Masa Kitamiya with Masa Saito
Each has roots
It was a great match"

WINNER: Eddie Edwards with the Boston Knee Party (8 minutes and 13 seconds)
Picture
MATCH FOUR
Elimination match with stipulation: if The Hooligans win then Sugiura enters their unit as their slave, if they lose, they disband.
Takashi Sugiura, Masao Inoue, Akitoshi Saito, Yoshiki Inamura & Kinya Okada vs The Hooligans (Mitsuya Nagai, Yuji Hino. Maybach Taniguchi, KAZMA SAKAMOTO & Cody Hall)

The Hooligans attacked the rookies during the usual brawl before the match

The order of elimination went like this:

~ Kinya Okada eliminated by Maybach Taniguchi (Lariat)
~ Yuji Hino and Akitoshi Saito eliminated (Saito was holding Hino on the apron and Inamura eliminated them both)
~ Yoshiki Inamura eliminated by going over the ropes
~ Masao Inoue eliminated Cody Hall (Korakuen started chanting for Inoue)
~ Yoshiki Inamura eliminated Mitsuya Nagai via a Buzz kick over the ropes
~ Yoshiki Inamura eliminated
~ KAZMA SAKAMOTO eliminated Masao Inoue (pin via Trace Kick)
~ Takashi Sugiura eliminated Maybach Taniguchi with the Frankensteiner
~ Takashi Sugiura defeated KAZMA SAKAMOTO via The Olympic Slam

Hooligans then had to disband, and stood around in some disbelief.
Sugiura got on the mic after the match and told them he was glad he did not have to become their slave, it was now time for them to leave.
So, while Sugi leaned on the turnbuckles (looking like a mafia don with his mouthguard out like a cigar, which incidentally, Chris Ridgeway also does), KAZMA asked him for a singles match, which Sugiura granted. There is no stipulation to this one though.
Yet.

Match has been set for 10th March in Yokohama.

WINNER: Takashi Sugiura via the Olympic Slam on KAZMA SAKAMOTO (23 minutes and 52 seconds) ​
Picture

​MATCH FIVE
Kaito Kiyomiya & Daisuke Harada vs Naomichi Marufuji & Minoru Tanaka

Crowd exhausted after the last match, so they started off quiet, which is surprising for any Marufuji\Kiyomiya\Harada\Tanaka match.

While Harada and Tanaka had a vicious fight in the ring, Marufuji just stood on the apron, staring past them at Kiyomiya.
Kiyomiya must have shuddered at what that meant.
Kenoh would never have been so polite.

When Kiyomiya and Marufuji did meet, Marufuji used a rare move for him (Chicken Wing) on Kiyomiya, Kiyomiya later reversed it and used his Chicken Wing Facelock on Marufuji.
I think Marufuji has developed again into using submission moves as well as trace kicks, chops etc - he will still bring out the occasional moonsault though, but this is a new era for him.

After the match, Marufuji went to shake hands with Tanaka, but Tanaka refused and left the ring over protest in Marufuji not giving him the main event in Yokohama.Normally, the champion would decide this, and not the challenger, but the champion is 22 years old, too polite and too shy. Kenoh's reply probably would have been four letters.

Marufuji was at his sadistic best, at the end of the match he bent down to hold the icepack on Kiyomiya's arm, which he had attacked consistently during the match. His smile was not evil like Nakajima's, but more cold and chilling.

WINNER: Naomichi Marufuji with the Modified Arm Lock (some fans put it down as a "key lock") 19 minutes and 52 seconds.

MATCH SIX
GHC Heavyweight Tag Championship
50 Funky Powers (Mohammed Yone & Quiet Storm) vs Katsuhiko Nakajima & Go Shiozaki

"Chopped by Shiozaki, pummeled by Nakajima's kicks. To say the least, its hell"

Blue glowsticks lit up Korakuen as "Boogie Wonderland" played and the champions made their way to the ring, with Yone wearing a bandanna.
A lot of paper tape ("a mountain") was thrown.

Yone decided to pull the "Disco Fever" pose at Nakajima, and Nakajima laughed at it.
Evidently he does not understand the significance of disco.

In what was a very stiff match from all four competitors, Nakajima vs Storm had a chop\kick battle, one kick in particular from Nakajima, seemed to take a lot of Storm. Nakajima also kicked Yone in the head too.

Nakajima had the evil grin on his face as he pinned Storm. He looked even more like the Cheshire Cat from "Alice in Wonderland" than usual.

Winner: Katsuhiko Nakajima with the Vertical Spike on Quiet Storm (19 minutes and 52 seconds)

After the match, Eddie Edwards and Masa Kitamiya came to the ring to challenge for the GHC Heavyweight Tag Titles. Edwards greeting the crowd and saying he had returned home to do this.
Nakajima warned them ominously, "Never take your eyes off us"

(NOAH) EVENT RECAP ~ "NAVIGATION FOR THE PROGRESS", TOKOROZAWA CITIZEN GYMNASIUM SUB ARENA, (FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22ND 2019, NIGHT THREE)

2/22/2019

Comments

 
Noah returned today to the Tokorozawa Citizen Gymnasium, not a sold out crowd, but the show itself had a few surprises in store for the audience.
Picture
"I miss The Revolution"
Due to the injury to Atsushi Kotoge (and still no indication of when he will return I am afraid), Noah had to change the card, and announced a few days ago that a surprise wrestler would be appearing.
The identity of the silhouette (which is probably a silhouette of Mitsuya Nagai from looking at it) ranged from both Eddie Edwards and Jay Bradley; both wrestlers who people want to see back in Noah.

YO-HEY and HAYATA went out yesterday and got drunk on Jack Daniels. A hungover YO-HEY was on autograph duty, and ask HAYATA how he feels, and he would probably say "same", although naturally he said nothing about it.

Noah's resident disco loving afro-man, Mohammed Yone, celebrated his forty-third birthday on the 23rd February, and so flowers where placed in the lobby, surrounded by the 50 Funky Power color of blue balloons.

"Every match has a sense of urgency and speedy"

MATCH 1
Akitoshi Saito vs Kinya Okada

"Saito stands as a big wall"
(Noah GHC)

Winner: Akitoshi Saito with the Suicludees (5 minutes and 26 seconds)

MATCH 2
Daisuke Harada, Tadasuke & Junta Miyawaki vs Minoru Tanaka, Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki 

Ishii & Iwasaki were presented with gifts of flowers and Whey Protein (very popular among the Noah wrestlers, except Hitoshi Kumano, that is, who has a milk allergy) and their team mates and opponents were also presented with the same.  ​
Picture
Minoru Tanaka made his second request at the end of the match, he wants the main event in Yokohama to be the GHC Junior Heavyweight title match between himself and Harada.
Hiroshi Yamato also made a speech, by saying that from now on, he wants to fight as a Noah junior.

WINNER: Kouki Iwasaki with the Vertical fall type reverse DDT on Junta Miyawaki (11 minutes and 56 seconds)

MATCH 3
Kenoh, Masa Kitamiya & HAYATA vs Go Shiozaki, Yoshiki Inamura & Eddie Edwards (X Wrestler\"Mr. X")

This was very much a heavyweight match for HAYATA, being the only junior among them, but he held himself well, and looked coldly sadistic at Yoshiki Inamura - the fact that he was wearing black added to the effect.
Picture
The mysterious wrestler, who came in to replace the injured Atsushi Kotoge, was none other than Eddie Edwards. The crowd, thrilled to see the former GHC Heavyweight Champion so unexpectedly (and of course considering that he is considered to be a Noah wrestler, and Noah born), chanted "Welcome back!", as fans echoed the sentiment on Twitter. It says a lot that some people even put, "welcome home". Edwards (a lot more in the heavyweight mold than he was in 2017 and looking thicker set) came out in the Misawa green, and just to see him, meant a lot to the audience as one fan put it, especially as the country folk do not often get to see things like this.
Kenoh, however, stood with the habitual scowl, and this being Kenoh no doubt got up after doing his entry pose, muttered something under his breath at Edwards, glared, and pulled his collar as he stalked away. 
It was also the brief reunion (despite the three man tag) of "Team Chop" (Go Shiozaki and Eddie Edwards)

Yoshiki Inamura was said to have a huge presence in the match, and looked very good when Shiozaki got the emergency tag to him as he yelled, "Mr. Shiozaki! I will go!"

Match full of machine gun chops, kicks and lariats (especially Kenoh on Inamura).

After the match, Kitamiya and Edwards shook hands in a display of sportsmanship and also a promise for the match at Korakuen Hall on the 24th.

WINNER: Kenoh with a kick on Yoshiki Inamura (13 minutes and 57 seconds)
Picture
MATCH 4
Takashi Sugiura & Masao Inoue vs Maybach Taniguchi & Cody Hall

Its not looking good for Takashi Sugiura and his team, once again he, Masao Inoue and Yoshiki Inamura, ended up being throttled by Taniguchi's Sasumata as Cody Hall loomed overhead.

WINNER: Maybach Taniguchi with the Maybach Bomb on Masao Inoue (10 minutes and 28 seconds)
Picture
MATCH 5
50 Funky Powers (Mohammed Yone & Quiet Storm) vs Katsuhiko Nakajima & Hi69

"There are many lariats in this world, but only one 50cm arm"
(Quiet Storm)

Nakajima and Quiet Storm got into a kick\chop match (at one point, Nakajima kicked him in the face).

WINNER: Quiet Storm with the 50cm lariat on Hi69 (11 minutes and 48 seconds)
​
Picture
MATCH 6
Kaito Kiyomiya, The Backbreakers (Hitoshi Kumano & Hajime Ohara) & Hiroshi Yamato vs Naomichi Marufuji, Yoshinari Ogawa, Kotaro Suzuki & YO-HEY

YO-HEY wore white (which is rare), and HAYATA came out to second, wearing a Yoshinari Ogawa t-shirt.

Naomichi Marufuji had his merciless face on (he used his "fed up" one for The Hooligans) and although he didn't attack his legs like he said he would, Marufuji (no doubt on advice from Yoshinari Ogawa, who is the master at attacking vulnerable body parts), decided to go after Kiyomiya's arm again today, which he had bandaged. Boku-Pro wrote you could hear Kiyomiya's moans throughout the hall.
Kiyomiya said he would not be defeated by it.
Picture
Marufuji, however, wasn't finished with Kiyomiya. Kiyomiya went to a fan event afterwards at Cafe grapple, and was photographed smiling with the group. Marufuji posted about it and added a smirking face at the end after saying ominously, "You smile, even after I have attacked your left arm. There will be more...more...."

Kotaro Suzuki might not have gotten his wish to wrestle his "older brother" Marufuji (honorific term used to denote in this case, a senior trainee of the same teacher, in this case, Mitsuharu Misawa), but he got to team with him at least. However, cracks appeared to be breaking in the team of himself and Ogawa, as they seemed to get into an argument at the start of the match.
Marufuji looked like he was siding with Ogawa. 

Hitoshi Kumano made Yoshinari Ogawa (the man who has an inner infrared sensor which guides him to wherever it is someone is hurting), tap when The Backbreakers had both Kotaro Suzuki and Ogawa in a double submission move.
This is huge for Kumano. 

WINNER: Hitoshi Kumano with the Argentine Backbreaker on Yoshinari Ogawa (20 minutes and 9 seconds)

Attendance: 295

(NOAH) EVENT RECAP ~ "NAVIGATION FOR THE PROGRESS",SHINYOUSEI TWENTY ONE HALL, (WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13TH 2019, NIGHT TWO)

2/13/2019

Comments

 
Picture
This venue is most famous for what has been dubbed by the Noah ring crew "The Demon Staircase Of Hell". The reason it has been given this name is that last summer, when Noah first came here in the midst of one of the hottest summers in Japan, is because there is no way to park the truck near the entry and so all the ring equipment (disco ball and any other equipment) must be carried up and down "The Demon Staircase of Hell" (about two flights), across a courtyard and through the lobby.

Due to Atsushi Kotoge's injury (still no word on what is wrong with his arm) the card had to be changed, which meant that poor Kinya Okada was taken off the card, but he did get his moment nonetheless, albeit when The Hooligans beat him up. The card was also changed to only five matches.
Picture
The Japan Transplant Association came to the ring today and did a fundraiser.
Noah have long ties to the association as after Jumbo Tsuruta (who Mitsuharu Misawa was the trainee and second of) died in May 2000 due to complications of an organ transplant, Misawa swore that no one would ever again want for one should it ever be in his power, and Noah's association with them was born.

Daisuke Harada was on autograph duty.

MATCH ONE
Kenoh & Masa Kitamiya vs Junta Miyawaki & Tadasuke

Tadasuke decided to also taunt Kenoh today by imitating his pose, and Kenoh did not take kindly to it, Tadasuke later commented that "something sparked" in him by fighting two people who were active in the heavyweight division (to be honest, out of all of RATELS, Tadasuke is the biggest and most heavyset, and probably will have the least trouble turning heavyweight).

Masa Kitamiya got Junta Miyawaki in a merciless prison lock (which Tadasuke had to break up)
Kenoh also used the Falcon Arrow

WINNER: Kenoh with a kick to Junta Miyawaki (10 minutes and 13 seconds)

MATCH TWO
Hajime Ohara, Hitoshi Kumano & Yoshiki Inamura vs Yoshinari Ogawa, YO-HEY & HAYATA

Inamura, the most junior in the match, really took it from HAYATA (who gets some kind of cold sadistic pleasure out of tormenting people in the ring), YO-HEY, however, looked bright and fluffy today and was said to be looking "relieved" to be back with "the wife".  ​

Picture

​Yoshinari Ogawa took out Hitoshi Kumano, and threw a table at him (something you saw particularly in Noah's "Golden Era"), he didn't even have time to take his t-shirt off.
Kotaro Suzuki was absent today, and so Ogawa posed with the belts over the fallen Backbreakers.

WINNER: HAYATA with the moonsault on Yoshiki Inamura (10 minutes and 21 seconds)
Picture

​MATCH THREE
Takashi Sugiura, Akitoshi Saito & Masao Inoue vs The Hooligans (Maybach Taniguchi, Cody Hall & KAZMA SAKAMOTO)

"At the elimination match at Korakuen Hall on the 24th February, how can you hope to win with an old man and a green boy? Sugiura, if you lose, you will be the Hooligans slave; you will lick my boots, clean Taniguch's back and carry Cody's bags!" (KAZMA SAKAMOTO after the match) with a knocked out Kinya Okada propped up in front of them.

WINNER: KAZMA SAKAMOTO with the Trace Kick on Masao Inoue (11 minutes and 19 seconds)
Picture

​MATCH FOUR
50 Funky Powers (Mohammed Yone & Quiet Storm) vs The Mid Generation (Go Shiozaki and Katsuhiko Nakajima)

"Waruhiko"

The Disco Ball was spinning along to "Boogie Wonderland"

Katsuhiko Nakajima (whom everyone pretty much called "Waruhiko" in this match, "Waru" meaning "bad" or "wicked"), had a huge smirk on his face when he choked out Quiet Storm, later he posted a picture of it with three crazy face emoticons. The fight also went out of the ring, and the smirk did not fade when Nakajima beat Yone up infront of some old ladies...one of whom was Yone's mother. The crowd scattered, and Nakajima's kicks sounded like gunshots.

WINNER: Katsuhiko Nakajima with the sleeper hold on Quiet Storm (referee stoppage after 18 minutes and 13 seconds)
Picture

​MATCH FIVE
Kaito Kiyomiya, Daisuke Harada & Hitoshi Yamato vs Naomichi Marufuji, Minoru Tanaka & Hi69

Usual singing entry from Hitoshi Yamato, he told Marufuji that he couldn't have dried seaweed (like the DDT press signing). Marufuji had a priceless look on his face.

Marufuji worked on Kaito Kiyomiya's arm, and the fight went outside the ring, at one point he had it wrapped around a steel barrier.

At the end of the match, Daisuke Harada got on the microphone and said, "Yokohama is a month away. I will win as I want the Noah Jnr to be on a bigger stage", he then raised the GHC Junior over the GHC Heavyweight indicating that he would raise the Junior belt above the GHC Heavyweight, and then pointing to the heavyweight belt (being hugged by Kaito Kiyomiya who was putting an icepack on his arm), and said "that is my final goal".

Naomichi Marufuji later posted a picture of himself shoving Kaito Kiyomiya into the ring post with a string of words that appeared to be about a laundry list of clothes, Kiyomiya, however was a little more coherent in his post and said that he was going to find a way to discover "the weakness of "The Genius" before "my body breaks down".

WINNER: Daisuke Harada with the Katayama German Suplex Hold on Minoru Tanaka (22 minutes and 31 seconds)

ATTENDANCE: 239 (super crowded)

(NOAH) EVENT RECAP ~ "NAVIGATION FOR THE PROGRESS", FUKUSHIMA CITY NATIONAL MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM SUB ARENA, (MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11TH 2019, NIGHT ONE)

2/11/2019

Comments

 
Picture

"Very happy! Thank you!
Even though changes have occurred with the new ownership, if the wrestlers are positive, then the fans will follow suit. I am proud to have confidence in Pro Wrestling Noah".

Noah had a snowy three hour drive from Tokyo to Fukushima to start the first day of their small tour, and sadly the last tour which will feature the ikonic green ring (outside of the June Misawa memorial shows that is). Fukushima itself was said to have clear weather.
No matter the weather outside, the atmosphere in the hall today was said to be intense, but welcoming, and the local people were grateful that Noah had come to town, so much so that people apparently traveled from outside of Fukushima and together they made a full house.

Speaking of the cold weather, Atsushi Kotoge photographed himself drinking coffee when Noah made a pitstop on the journey at a place called "Tully's Coffee" saying that it was too cold to "de-pink" his clothes (he means to get rid of them, punning on the "de-Misawa" or the "leaving behind" or "removing" of); Cody Hall took a picture of outside the building, in which Kotoge in the window, came out as a pink blob.

MATCH ONE
"Yoshiki Inamura's Seven Match Series"
Masa Kitamiya vs Yoshiki Inamura


Yoshiki Inamura said to give a good showing today of his fighting spirit, which was conveyed to the fans. A lot of highlights in the match.

Winner: Masa Kitamiya with the Side Suplex (9 minutes and 13 seconds)

MATCH TWO
Kenoh & HAYATA vs Katsuhiko Nakajima & Junta Miyawaki

Sparks started flying straight away between Katsuhiko Nakajima and Kenoh, when Nakajima decided to stick his leg out when Kenoh got into the ring and knelt to do his pose when his name was announced.
Kenoh, not known for his sense of humor, didn't find this funny.
Nakajima, known for being Noah's Cheshire Cat, smirked.
The referee, knowing a fight was coming between them, broke it up.

HAYATA did the "come on, hit me" pose with Miyawaki by standing with his arms apart as if to give him a good shot.

WINNER: HAYATA with the Moonsault on Junta Miyawaki (10 minutes and 12 seconds)

MATCH THREE
The Backbreakers (Hajime Ohara & Hitoshi Kumano) vs Yoshinari Ogawa & YO-HEY​
Picture

​HAYATA came out to second YO-HEY & Yoshinari Ogawa (who was wearing his round rimmed shades). Although they weren't in the match, Daisuke Harada and Tadasuke came out and wanted to know what the hell it was HAYATA thought he was doing.
I doubt they got an answer, and Hitoshi Kumano held Harada back with his big red plastic rice paddle. Tadasuke said he went to complain about HAYATA "running off".

WINNER: Hitoshi Kumano with the Bear Bottom on YO-HEY (13 minutes and 39 seconds)

MATCH FOUR
Takashi Sugiura, Akitoshi Saito & Masao Inoue vs The Hooligans (Maybach Taniguchi, Cody Hall & Maybach Taniguchi)

The "Dark Agents" (Sugiura, Saito and Inoue) reformed for a night (basically, they were a stable formed roughly from 2004 to 2006; Bison Smith and Mike Awesome were also members. Their goal was to stir up Noah's mid card and bring out the anger in them).

There was the usual Hooligans fight outside the ring (some small children ran from them when the fight went near the merchandise booth), and Nagai used a steel railing on Sugiura.
Afterwards, Nagai told Sugiura that they were going to make him clean their toilets first when he becomes their slave.

WINNER: Maybach Taniguchi with the Maybach Bom Zwai on Masao Inoue (11 minutes and 58 seconds)

MATCH FIVE
50 Funky Powers (Mohammed Yone & Quiet Storm) vs Atsushi Kotoge and Go Shiozaki

"He is the hero who will stand and face the opponent, even if he is hurt and no matter how painfully.  
He will return to your cheers of "Revolution"

Go Shiozaki

The "Revolutionary Hero" came out acting manic as usual, and tried to get Referee Yoshida to do the "Revolutionary Fist". Once again, his timekeeping was not to Shiozaki's liking, and he stood there tapping his wrist as Kotoge ran round the hall.
There was the usual Disco Fever vs Deluded Revolution stand off.
Picture

​Then came Kotoge's injury.
After jiggling around on the apron and hitting the turnbuckle as he climbed on to it to do the"Revolutionary Splash", he seemed to have hurt his arm when he got up from it. Pro-Wrestlers are trained to continue until they physically can't, and Kotoge was no exception, and he took the finisher as well.
After the match, one of the trainers, Nagahama, came into the ring and assessed Kotoge, who was helped out and to the back. Kotoge was grimacing in pain, and people had noticed his head had been drooping in the ring.

Kotoge later wrote that he felt a sharp pain in his arm and he couldn't move it at all (I am wondering if this is an old injury that Kotoge has had, as a few months ago he wrote he woke up unable to move and was almost taken to hospital, with the trainers getting him back up and running again before it came to that). He says he does not know the results of the diagnostic tests yet, but will do his best to return.

The championship match where he will be tagging with Eddie Edwards to challenge for the GHC Heavyweight tag on the 24th February, is currently up in the air.

WINNER: Mohammed Yone with the Funky Buster Bomb on Atsushi Kotoge (14 minutes and 46 seconds)

MATCH SIX
Kaito Kiyomiya, Daisuke Harada & Tadasuke vs Naomichi Marufuji, Minoru Tanaka & Hi69
Picture

Tadasuke got chopped.
Marufuji, who was, caught square in the face with the dropkick by Kiyomiya, later said that he understood the dropkick worked, but his own confidence was rising since the return match.

Kiyomiya said afterwards (also on Twitter) that although they couldn't fight in the Global League 2018 finals, he is not the person he was at that time.

After the match, Kiyomiya got on the microphone and said, that he would fight Marufuji in Yokohama, and there the issue of era would finally be settled.

WINNER: Kaito Kiyomiya with the Tiger Suplex Hold on Hi69 (20 minutes and 27 seconds)

ATTENDANCE: 351 (Full)

Impact Wrestling Rebellion PPV Live In Toronto (4/28/19) Impact Rebellion Apr. 3, 2019... 

Published Jan 2nd 2019 By Andre Corbeil of WrestlingWithWrestling.Com .


Impact Wrestling has announced their next pay-per-view event. The promotion will hold their Rebellion show at the Rebel Entertainment Complex in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on Sunday, April 28. This will be their second PPV of 2019.
The promotion also announced that Tickets and VIP packages for Rebellion will go on sale at noon Eastern on Monday, March 4th 2019.


This isn’t the first time that the promotion has held an event at the Rebel Entertainment Complex as they did so with the Slammiversary XVI event in July 2018.
Impact sent out a video that was posted on their official YouTube channel that mentions an “ultimate battle” for the Impact World Championship,” which is likely to serve as the headliner. You can check that out here.
Before this pay-per-view event, the company will hold a special episode of Impact that is slated to air on February 15th that is being titled  “Uncaged.” Several big matches for that show has been announced. Here’s the lineup:
  • Johnny Impact defending his World Title against an unknown opponent
  • Taya Valkyrie defending the Knockouts Championship against Tessa Blanchard in a street fight
  • Team Impact (Sami Callihan, Eddie Edwards, Eli Drake & Fallah Bahh) vs. Team AAA (Psycho Clown, Puma King, El Hijo del Vikingo & Aerostar) in a World Cup match.

Lucha Brothers Agree to Non Exclusive Deal with All Elite Wrestling... Published Feb 3, 2019 By Andre Corbeil.

Lucha Brothers Agree to Non Exclusive Deal with All Elite Wrestling... 
Published Feb 3, 2019 By Andre Corbeil.

Last night, around the time Terrible was crushing Dragón Lee’s dreams in the #CMLLUniversalChampionshipTournament, another big lucha story was brewing in #Atlanta when Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix were given a handshake offer by The #Young Bucks to join All Elite Wrestling. The Lucha Brothers accepted, though no one was sure what kind of a handshake deal they were making. Now some twelve hours later, Chris Jericho has only heightened the confusion. In a Tweet where he seemingly tried to start an angle with the Lucha Brothers by comparing them (unfavorably) to lucha legends like Negro Casas, #ChrisJericho has claimed Pentagon and Fenix have signed exclusively with AEW. A claim like that would normally be gigantic news if there weren’t immediately questioned by Pentagon and Fenix’s status with AAA, CMLL, Impact, Lucha Underground and #MajorLeagueWrestling. Does an AEW agreement meant the Lucha Brothers are leaving those places behind or are they merely adding AEW to the numerous promotions they work for?


The answer is the latter. Sources tell #WrestlingWithWrestling that while Pentagon and Fenix will work #AllEliteWrestling dates (likely including #DoubleorNothing in May), they have yet to sign an exclusive deal with them. As such this will allow them to keep fulfilling their promised dates throughout 2019, including #ExpoLucha in August and whatever dates they have with other promotions in the #US or Mexico. In other words, you can now make #AEWWrestling the fifth (and possibly sixth) major promotion #PentagonJr and Fenix will work with in 2019, along with AAA, CMLL, Impact, #MLWWrestling and #Lucha Underground, provided LU is indeed brought back for a fifth season. For now that is a big win for everyone; #LuchaUnderground keeps their two top stars, #ImpactWrestling and #MLWFusion keep their reigning Tag Team Champions, #AAA and #CMLL retain access to two of the top draws in #Mexico and AEW now has access to two of the most exciting #luchadores in the world, one of the best #tagteams in the world and an must see match between the #LuchaBrothers and #theYoungBucks.
There is no word yet on is #PentagonandFenix will appear on AEW’s Ticket Sale Party this Thursday in #LasVegas but with rumors floating of #AEW wanting to unveil their whole roster the chances of them being there are high. For now you can see #Pentagon and #Fenix tonight on #MLW’s Live show, where they defend the #MLWTagTeamChampionships against #DaveyBoySmithJr. and #TeddyHart of The #NewHartFoundation. We will continue to provide updates on this developing story

(NOAH) EVENT RECAP ~ "NAVIGATION FOR THE FUTURE 2019" FINAL NIGHT ~ KORAKUEN HALL (FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1ST 2019)

2/1/2019

Comments

 
Picture

​"It's Friday night. Korakuen,Beer and NOAH.Why can't this be heaven?"

I'm not going to lie.
Its been a roller-coaster week for Noah and Noah fans.

"This years Noah looks intense, I think it is impossible, but I wonder if he will come home..."


Out of the blue two things happened, and as is always the way it seems, both happened one day after the other. First of all President Uchida announced that he would be resigning as Estbee (Noah's parent company) had sold Noah to "LIDET Entertainment", and the next day KENTA announced he had asked WWE for his release.
LIDET have said they will be "giving up Misawa" and creating a new look for Noah (the beloved green ring will go, only to come out at Noah's Misawa memorial shows), and KENTA, naturally, has said nothing about his plans after his 90 day clause runs out, although it is rumored that he only got it by promising he would return to Japan.
Noah fans hope he will "come home" (which they have all been hoping for these past years) and those who want to appear like they know what they are talking about, are saying they want him to return to New Japan, from whence he came apparently.
Nicer in thought than that of a change from the beloved ikonic green mat, it has been announced that Noah will be releasing a theme music album. Noah have not released anything like this since "The Golden Era".

Speaking of changes, Atsushi Kotoge announced the night before on his Twitter that he had something special planned for the fans....

While all of this is rolling like waves around The Ark, Noah held the GHC Junior Tag signing today between The Backbreakers (Hitoshi Kumano and Hajime Ohara) and Keisuke Ishii and Kouki Iwasaki, the challengers.

Takashi Sugiura signed autographs at the merchandise booth, while Daisuke Harada (complete with IPW and GHC Junior Heavyweight belts) did the Noah fan club private photo session.

Today's show will be broadcast on 9th February at 10pm (JST) on Samurai

MATCH 1
Kenoh, Yoshiki Inamura & Kinya Okada vs Cody Hall, Mitsuya Nagai & KAZMA SAKAMOTO

Not really too much to say about this match, except it didn't last long at all.
The highlight of it was when Masao Inoue, wandered out in plain clothes, and got roughed up by Cody Hall and Mitsuya Nagai.
I have no idea why Inoue was even at ringside (unless of course he was looking for a men's bathroom that Sugiura couldn't find him in and photograph him using the urinal)

WINNER: KAZMA SAKAMOTO with the Trace Kick on Kinya Okada (6 minutes and 10 seconds)
​
Picture

​MATCH 2
HAYATA, Seiya Morohashi & Junta Miyawaki vs YO-HEY, Yoshinari Ogawa & Kotaro Suzuki

Never mind about the actual match itself (although Miyawaki, who appears to have really beefed up was given loud applause today, and YO-HEY had his demonic grin on when he went to chop him), everyone wanted to see what was going to happen with YO-HEY & HAYATA.
At the end of the match (and I think this was how it happened), HAYATA went to leave and YO-HEY touched his shoulder and turned him back.
YO-HEY then offered him his hand.
HAYATA (who usually ever only shakes hands with YO-HEY, and won't let YO-HEY shake hands with anyone else) stared hesitantly for a moment, and then shook it, and with that "The Blonde Couple" (although YO-HEY'S hair seems to be a pillowy mound of pink today) were reunited. HAYATA also shook hands with Ogawa and Suzuki, and then left in their corner. YO-HEY posted a picture of them backstage and wrote, "I don't care about the others...welcome back wife".

Harada has said nothing about the issue. Yet.
Tadasuke, however posted, "Korakuen finished like this, what is this? Deplorable. The end."

WINNER: Kotaro Suzuki with the Blue Destiny on Junta Miyawaki (12 minutes and 36 seconds)

MATCH 3
TADASUKE & Daisuke Harada vs Hi69 & Minoru Tanaka

Nothing really much to say about this one, except that Harada still wants Tanaka to verbally challenge him for the belt (Harada is a stickler for this, he wasn't too pleased when Hajime Ohara did it via the company, and then when he complained Ohara beat him up and then challenged, and he liked it even less)

WINNER: Hi69 with the Stuka Splash on Tadasuke (11 minutes and 16 seconds)

MATCH 4
GHC JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT TAG TITLE MATCH 
The Backbreakers (Hajime Ohara & Hitoshi Kumano) vs Keisuke Ishii & Takaki Iwasaki

Hitoshi Kumano (who has taken to wearing the belt around his neck like a collar), got immense praise today during the match, and while I don't have any information on it, it was said to be the best junior match on the card.

People want to see Ishii and Iwasaki again, and Ohara told them that today is not the end.

There has been no challenge as of yet for the GHC Junior tags, but I would not be surprised if YO-HEY & HAYATA challenge for it.

WINNER: Hitoshi Kumano with the Argentine Backbreaker (14 minutes and 59 seconds)
Picture

​MATCH 5
Naomichi Marufuji, Takashi Sugiura & Akitoshi Saito vs Go Shiozaki, Katsuhiko Nakajima & Atsushi Kotoge

Naomichi Marufuji returned from four months injury layoff looking brighter, happier, a lot less swollen in the face, and returned to the ring in a curtain of red and orange streamers and using his old jump over the ropes (he had to abandon this due to the state of his shoulder). He was also wearing his jacket from "Flight", which he wore when he faced KENTA the last time. I wouldn't read anything into that though, Jun Akiyama wore the robe to "Flight" that he last wore when Kenta Kobashi returned to the ring after having kidney cancer, so its the wrestling version of "best clothes".

Atsushi Kotoge also had a new outfit, he had finally done away with the pink and wore a golden chrome color, leading fans to call him the "Golden Revolutionary Hero". He was his usual manic self, and as ever, Go Shiozaki looked as if he was with an excitable child at the end of the match when the ref raised their arms in victory and he bounced up and down.
This, however, was not going to be Kotoge's only surprise of the night...

Elsewhere in the match, Go Shiozaki looked as if he had substantial bandaging under his elbow supports as they looked slightly bulging, and Nakajima celebrated Marufuji's return by a long slow evil grin, and then kicking him hard, and then laughing again.

WINNER: Atsushi Kotoge with the improvised Revolutionary Kid Clutch on Akitoshi Saito (12 minutes and 11 seconds)
Picture

​MATCH 6
GHC HEAVYWEIGHT TAG TITLE MATCH 
The Hooligans (Maybach Taniguchi & Yuji Hino) vs 50 Funky Powers (Mohammed Yone & Quiet Storm)

50 Funky Powers came out wearing matching bandannas, Quiet Storm in shades (they didn't flash like Yone's though).
They also bought an army out of the veterans: Takashi Sugiura, Masao Inoue, Naomichi Marufuji and Akitoshi Saito to keep the other Hooligans not in the match (i.e. Mitsuya Nagai, KAZMA SAKAMOTO and Cody Hall at bay), and so the veteran seconds battled them to keep them from interfering.

Due to a slight sound error, "Boogie Wonderland" started playing before the ref's hand came down on the final pinfall.

WINNER: Quiet Storm with the Funky Buster Bomb on Maybach Taniguchi (18 minutes and 42 seconds)
Picture

​After the match, Takashi Sugiura got into the ring as the new champions looked on, and addressed The Hooligans.

Sugiura: Because you don't have a belt, you are now free. I don't have a belt either, so shall we do this? How many of there are you? Five? Okada, you are okay. Inamura. That's three. Saito too, please. Who else is there?
The crowd called out for Marufuji
Sugiura: No, lets not waste Marufuji. Well, Masao Inoue is enough. These five are okay! We will do it! If you lose to us, you must dissolve The Hooligans.
KAZMA: Hey asshole, these are our conditions. If you bastards lose to us, you are in The Hooligans. No, you will be our slave! You will lick my shoes. Clean Tanaguchi's back. Do Nagai's laundry.
Sugiura agreed to their request.

So then after The Hooligans and the Veteran army had left, Atsushi Kotoge materialized in the ring, and then cut a rambling promo. Despite being part of the group who had been fighting the Veterans for much of 2018 (although I don't think Kotoge ever fully really realized this was the case, it was just where his beloved Go Shiozaki had gone, so he followed), Kotoge thought the veterans were his friends.
Don't ask.
After rambling on about his friends, (and them evidently not wanting to team with him), Kotoge pointed to the monitor and said, "I have found a revolution member from the outside".
The audience turned to look.
The screen flickered into life.
Picture

Eddie Edwards was returning to Noah, and he would team with Atsushi Kotoge in a team known as "The Die Hard Revolution".

No date has been set as yet for the title match, but Noah's next tour begins on the 11th February.

​MATCH 7
GHC HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Kaito Kiyomiya vs Masa Kitamiya

Very close fought match with very close falls, and Kitamiya working on Kiyomiya's knees (even at one point frog splashing them). Korakuen (after the waterfall of streamers for Kiyomiya) was mainly out of their seats and screaming for him. Both athletes gave it their all, and both bought everything out of the box.

WINNER: Kaito Kiyomiya with the Tiger Suplex Hold (29 minutes and 34 seconds) 

"This time Marufuji has the viewpoint of Misawa"

After the match, like pretty much everyone thought he would, Naomichi Marufuji came out to the ring to challenge for the GHC Heavyweight;

"You won the global league that I was supposed to win, and you won the belt that I was supposed to capture. But since, you do not feel strength or fear, I wanted to hear your answer. But your answer is only, "YES". Do it!"

Afterwards Kiyomiya (who unlike Kenoh who would have let loose a string of profanity, but is always very polite to pretty much everyone), went around the ringside and spoke a few words to each person while shaking hands with them.

Tonight's show may have not been sold out, and the new management of Noah may make for an uncertain future and the break away from the old familiar Noah, but many people left commenting that tonight was exciting, and that 2019 was going to be intense.

With thanks to: Metal Noah, SHINYA, Shu, Noa, Ayapanda, Atsushi Kotoge, Koichiro Takeda, Abeshin
