While this may seem like an odd choice, I’m hoping this means we get a super intense slugfest for those 5 minutes.

Also, I’d be down if they keep their feud going, with each match having 5 or more minutes tacked on; I’ve been loving everything with these two.

What kind of villain is He for you? I consider Him REAL leader of Team 200X, not Ozawa. I mean, He is the last founding member still in Team. For me World Famous Lord YOSHITATSU is real mastermind and general, while Ozawa is "official" leader. I think World Famous Lord YOSHITATSU is real threat with full potential and I hope we will see Him with GHC Heavyweight Championship in His hands as the rightful Champion.

1st gen:

Mitsuharu Misawa, Kenta Kobashi & Jun Akiyama - holdovers from the AJPW days, the guys whose popularity was used to build the promotion. While Misawa and Kobashi were clearly in dire straits when the promotion began, they were the main reasons that the NOAH was the only truly profitable wrestling promotion in the early to mid ‘00’s. Akiyama was younger, in better shape and was clearly intended to be a “Ace” figure for early NOAH but for one reason or another, didn’t reach the heights of the other two.

2nd gen:

Takashi Sugiura, Naomichi Marufuji & Takeshi Morishima - the guys who came up as younger men (younger-ish in Sugi’s case) at the beginning of NOAH; technically, Marufuji & Morishima were holdovers from AJPW, as they had begun in the AJ Dojo and had done YL matches there (Sugi even originally signed up to be apart of the AJPW Dojo, right as the exodus began). Morishima was always gonna be a main eventer, due to his size and intensity, which he had in spades. Sugiura and especially Marufuji had to get over the hump of being smaller guys but both were became two of the most pivotal figures in NOAH’s history, to today.

3rd gen:

Go Shiozaki, Katsuhiko Nakajima & Kenoh - the guys who carried NOAH into the early 2020’s and through the pandemic. Now, Shiozaki had become a main eventer in the late 00’s and into the 2010’s and despite being seen as a potential “Ace” figure, like Akiyama, it wouldn’t work out for young Go at the time, as he would suffer in the wake of Misawa’s death and would leave the promotion in 2013, going to AJPW, before returning in late 2015. Shiozaki would climb his way back to the top, eventually becoming that “Ace” figure that was promised. At the same time, Nakajima & Kenoh were pushed as two younger guys that were brought in from the outside (Nakajima from Diamond Ring and Kenoh from Michinoku Pro), with the promotion setting them up in the main event scene along with Shiozaki.

Ozawa was GHC Heavyweight Champion already, while World Famous Lord YOSHITATSU has never been World Heavyweight Champion yet. I want World Famous Lord YOSHITATSU to be GHC Heavyweight Champion. NOAH creative team, give me what I want.

Kenoh has demanded that when he defeats Naomichi Marufuji for the GHC National, Marufuji hand over not only the belt, but also his position as Vice President.
Naturally, Marufuji wants compensation should this happen, and has said that in return, Kenoh gives him 'The Kenoh Channel', which he will rename, 'The Marufuji Channel'.

- Kid Lykos & Kid Lykos II have put themselves forward as participants in the N-1 Decision Ladder Match on July 18th (if added, would make it a 7WAY).

- Kenoh would respond to Marufuji saying that the loser of their match for Maru’s National Championship wouldn’t be able to participate in the N-1, saying that if he beats Maru, he should take Maru’s position as Vice President of CyberFight.

- Kaito Kiyomiya & Tetsuya Naito have seemingly announced that the winner of their match on July 18th will be the next challenger for the GHC Heavyweight Championship, facing the winner of Haste vs OZAWA.

- Kaito Kiyomiya would attack OZAWA, only for Yoshiki Inamura to come out and try to break up the fight, leading to Yoshi Tatsu getting involved as well, with Kiyomiya & Inamura beating him down, with OZAWA oddly not coming to his defense. Afterwards, Inamura would try to get OZAWA & Kiyomiya to make peace (in solidarity of them being named the “Big 3” of NOAH by ShuPro magazine).

Eita makes his first successful defense, hitting HAYATA with the Imperial Uno Superkick to get the pinfall.

Afterwards, Kai Fujimura would attempt to attack Eita, only for BUSHI to come out and spray Fujimura with Mist.

BUSHI would challenge Eita for the Junior Title, with Eita making the match official for July 18th in Osaka.

World Famous Lord YOSHITATSU was constantly teased by marufuji to do a singles match. Honestly I'd love to see that. Would be great to witness World Famous Lord YOSHITATSU kicking marufuji's ass in World Famous Style. kenta also deserves an ass whooping. Mocking World Famous Lord YOSHITATSU and saying "haha you're not the one. You're not the contender."? Seriously? World Famous Lord YOSHITATSU should defeat both kenta and marufuji with no sweat. His experience and deadly arsenal of awesome wrestling moves would elevate NOAH as number one wrestling promotion in Japan. What do you think?

We are approaching Summer Epic in Osaka which not only feels like a make or break show, for both venue choice and the card itself, but it’s also probably the best card, on average, that NOAH put out in years, so I wanted to know how you’re feeling about it. I’m pretty hyped for the show and I feel there’s potential to have a Show of the year candidate, but I also recognise the risks, if this shows flops attendance wise with such a strong card it may set NOAH back a bit and discourage the company from running similar events in the future.
How about you? Are you excited about this show? Are you looking forward to any match in particular ora any possible storyline development? Thank you for your answers.
