After a long hiatus and cancelled shows due to the Coronavirus, Pro Wrestling Noah return on the 21st March. Doors will open at 16:45, with the event starting at 17:30. There has been no announcement that this will be broadcast live on either Noah's YouTube or DDT Universe, so Battlemen may be the best we can hope for (although Noah may post the show afterwards on the streaming service).
If you are planning to visit the event please do not attend if you are suffering a sore throat, temperature, dry cough or any flu symptoms. Please read Noah's guidance (translated into English here).
For the safety of both roster, fans and Noah crew, the Noah's Ark Fanclub pictures have been suspended for the time being. Go Shiozaki will be on merchandise but there will be no pictures with him allowed, no gift giving, and all those who wants autographs need to either wear a hygiene mask or else cover their mouth and nose when attending.

MATCH ONE
Tokyo Gurentai* (NOSAWA Rongai & MAZADA) Vs Kongoh (Haoh & Nioh)
*Literally Tokyo Hoodlums
MATCH TWO
Tadasuke & Mohammed Yone vs The Anti Wrestlers Alliance (Akitoshi Saito & Masao Inoue)
MATCH THREE
Kaito Kiyomiya vs Kinya Okada
Very rare match in which Okada can practice the kicks that Katsuhiko Nakajima taught him, on someone who is used to being kicked by Kenoh.
MATCH FOUR
STINGER (Yoshinari Ogawa, Kotaro Suzuki & Atsushi Kotoge) vs RATELS (Daisuke Harada, HAYATA & YO-HEY)
Yoshinari Ogawa is not pleased with Daisuke Harada over the whole IPW belt withdrawal, and neither is his mood going to be improved by Harada's impudence in calling him "Ogawa-kun". Expect these two to tear into each other.
HAYATA is back from rib injury and now fully healed after a prolonged period of rest, but this is still something that STINGER will exploit.
MATCH FIVE
The Sugiura Army (Takashi Sugiura & Hajime Ohara) vs Naomichi Marufuji & Minoru Tanaka
Rare match up between Hajime Ohara & Naomichi Marufuji, and Minoru Tanaka vs Takashi Sugiura
Minoru Tanaka is challenging for the GHC National, so now due to the Coronavirus and the shows being cancelled because of it, we now get some pre matches, which we didn't have before.
Marufuji says it has been a while since he and Sugiura faced off (funniest time was the trading of insults during chops and elbows, with Sugiura calling Marufuji a little girl because of his ponytail, and Marufuji calling Sugiura an "Octopus"(i.e. a man who has many hands over women).
MATCH SIX
AXIZ (Go Shiozaki & Katsuhiko Nakajima) & Shuhei Taniguchi vs Kongoh (Kenoh, Masa Kitamiya & Yoshiki Inamura)
No Kazuyuki Fujita, but Go Shiozaki considers every match a title match, and every opponent he visualises as Fujita. This will be Yoshiki Inamura's first match in Noah since his Big Japan singles victory.
Hopefully Shuhei Taniguchi won't try and intimidate Kongoh with his dancing.
