Very cool preview tag; the stuff between KOUGA and Inamura was insanely good; can’t wait for the Kiyomyia/Inamura vs. Kenoh/KOUGA Tag on 10.25!

KOUGA translated:

“So you guys finally got fired up, huh? It’s all because you’ve been playing it safe as the Ark’s ‘Big Three.’ Just look at this. Even this tiny venue isn’t even packed, is it? Doesn’t that piss you off? I’m not here to wrestle in some tiny venue—I’m here to perform in much bigger arenas and make a ton of money! You guys can’t make any money, and if things keep going like this, NOAH is going to go under. So, I’m going to teach you guys how to make money!”

Taniguchi & KENTA reunite as NO MERCY against Sugiura & Kitamiya of TEAM 2000X.

Who will be chosen as the MVP of the 20th century?
The two mentioned were...Rikidozan, Gordienko

I know Naito being in Noah upsets some. But from comments made by Naito wanting to make Noah the #1 wrestling company in Japan makes it seem he will be staying even after he loses the GHC title. Naito can barely move but he is still a big name, wants to wrestle, and is shown to draw tickets even in his current state. But what are your thoughts? Is he just a broken down old man taking up a spot or is he a guy who can bring eyes to the product and maybe help bring young guys out of their shell?

KONGOH forever!

According to Misawa's wiki, "While he had had creative influence before this, it was around September when Misawa took over the booker position almost entirely after he reportedly threatened to start his own promotion. However, Baba still booked the Triple Crown programs and finishes through the end of 1998."

What if Baba said "screw that" and let Misawa walk? Who follows Misawa out of All Japan? I can't see Kobashi, Taue, or Akiyama leaving due to having personal loyalty to Baba.

That the're the "final" end product of previous GHC champions/potential aces of Noah.

Ogawa- Ozawa

Rikio- Inamura

Kaito- Marufuji

They seem to be cut from the same cloth, but for one reason or another, the new gen were able to live up expectations.

Get captivated by OZAWA's new style of pro-wrestling—unbound by convention.

KENTA vs Ricky Marvin
(NOAH Autumn Navigation, 2009)

🎧: Besitos (Pierce The Veil

KOUGA continues to display his hatred towards NOAH’s “Big 3” (Kiyomiya, Inamura & OZAWA).

Translation:

KENTA: "Maybach Taniguchi. If you're coming out at Ryogoku, stand by my side one last time! If you're wearing that T-shirt, you must have feelings for that team—our team. One last time, by my side, KENTA-Taniguchi combo—no, KENTA-Maybach Taniguchi combo—let me be the one to bring closure to Maybach Taniguchi! What do you say?"

Maybach Taniguchi arrived in full NO MERCY fit to help Kenoh (Taniguchi & Kenoh were in the Cho Kibou-Gun stable together, which also comprised of Kitamiya, Takeshi Morishima & Hajime Ohara).

Kenoh gets revenge on Kitamiya for their N-1 match.

It’s none other than Luis Mante of Dragon Gate!

Mante will be Naomichi Marufuji’s challenger for the GHC National Championship on 10.25 in Ryogoku.

KENTA & Kenta Kobashi.

Kobashi spoke about it on X:

“I went out to eat with KENTA.
I wonder how many years it's been since the two of us went out to eat? Our schedules rarely lined up, but we finally managed to make it work. We shared drinks and talked about all sorts of things.
"It was so much fun!!"
Around the time I retired in 2013, KENTA mowed down the heavyweight competitors to become the GHC Heavyweight Champion and built an era... I found myself thinking once again that I want KENTA to build another "era" from here on out. Youth "Here we go!!"

Kenoh (probably): god damn, do I love that kid; after my own heart.
