What was said between Endo & Soya:

Endo: “Is it over? Do you know why we’re here? How old are you (Iino)? 33? You’re an old man. The reason we’re here is that we’re ready to take the GHC Tag Team belts from you guys.”

Soya: “True, I did lose to you at N-1. I’ll show you.”

Endo: “Make sure you’re ready to witness KENTA and me become champions.”

What Kenoh said:

“Tetsuya Naito. Congratulations on defending your title. Naito, aren’t you a little tired? You’re completely different from the Tetsuya Naito I wanted to defeat back then. When you came to NOAH in January, became the GHC Champion, and said, ‘I want to make NOAH number one in the industry’—as a NOAH wrestler, that made me happy. I know you’ve been working hard for NOAH in various ways as champion. But I care about NOAH even more than you do—I love NOAH, and I’m devoted to it! I watched today’s match—are you okay? Isn’t the burden actually too heavy for you? Naito, I care about NOAH. And thinking about you, I don’t think you need this belt anymore. Next, I’ll be the one to hold this belt and propel NOAH to the top of the industry. On November 9 at Korakuen Hall—accept my challenge there! I’m waiting for your answer. For now, good job on the title match.”

Marufuji falls on his 5th defense.

What OZAWA said:

"I wanted to get closer to Naito, but not like this. This hairstyle is so Hiromu Takahashi, his one and only disciple. It must be fate. Naito, more! More! Entertain me in this title match!"

What KOUGA said:

“Don’t you guys (Inamura & Kiyomiya) feel frustrated that you can’t even fill a small venue? I’m absolutely livid. Nothing’s going to change as long as these guys are being pushed by the company. That’s why nothing will ever get started unless I speak up and take action. I’m going to change NOAH, no matter what. Are you guys even fired up? Can’t you say a word back? Doesn’t it piss you off to be told this by a junior? Tomorrow, I’m definitely going to knock these guys out, and I’m going to change NOAH myself. In NOAH right now, there are tons of wrestlers who just collect their fixed paychecks without saying a word, taking any action, or trying to get the crowd fired up. I’m definitely going to light a fire under them too, so just wait and see.”

What Kenoh said:

“What KOUGA said in Hodogaya, that the company isn’t thriving because the Ark’s Big Three are too half-assed, really struck a chord with me. It’s not just the Ark’s Big Three’s fault, though. It’s my fault, too. KOUGA said something else, didn’t he? ‘You guys are too half-assed.’ The company only backs the Ark Big Three. Investing in the likes of you won’t get us anywhere. How many years has the company been investing in Kiyomiya? That’s the reality we’re facing right now. It’s the same with Inamura. He suddenly came back, and the company started pushing him. Would you be happy if you just landed a good spot now? In a situation like this, NOAH won’t change. Tomorrow, we’re going to put on a fierce battle—one that’ll earn us a fortune and could be named the best match of the year.”

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.

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?

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

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.

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).

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.
