wakigatame 16 Posted January 4, 2014 KENTA should retain here. Build up Sekimoto and for the love of God, finally do the singles match with Nakamura. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Wilson 1,035 Posted January 5, 2014 FIrst post updated with results, Morishima defeated KENTA for the GHC Heavyweight Championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Campbell 167 Posted January 5, 2014 No real surprise here, especially with KENTA's injury, but I'd figured the title would change anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ultimoDANK 365 Posted January 5, 2014 Not sure if Takayama is up for it but I wouldn't mind seeing him vs Morishima. Also Mori vs Minoru Suzuki would be kinda fresh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Wilson 1,035 Posted January 5, 2014 He can do it if it isn't a 25 minute match, his singles matches in W-1 haven't been long or fast paced but he is still serviceable. I don't mean that as a knock on Takayama's abilities, just that he is a bit physically limited these days due to age and injuries. He actually had 57 matches in 2013 which seems kinda crazy.

Alan4L 40 Posted January 5, 2014 I had no idea who was gonna end this reign. I guess Morishima makes as much sense as anyone. Who beats him now? Does Sugiura get another go? They're so thin for main eventers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curt McGirt 7,804 Posted January 6, 2014 So KENTA has adult hair now and Morishima dyed his and lost all the weight. Strange world Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cool arrow 4,105 Posted January 6, 2014 I wouldn't say all of it. He's still pretty husky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Belgian_Waffle 97 Posted January 6, 2014 I always liked Taniguchi before the Maybach gimmick, maybe they could unmask him and try to build him up as a potential contender? I could see Marufuji getting another reign, if he doesn't keep getting hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Wilson 1,035 Posted January 20, 2014 If I had a dollar every time I have heard that.... Just finished watching it, thought it was quite good. Haven't watched NOAH in years, is this thing with showcasing young wrestlers new, or has it been happening for awhile and I just never knew? In four of the matches there was a wrestler under the age of 30 highlighted to make good, a departure from the NOAH of yesteryear. So I was impressed by that, hopefully the young guys will continue to develop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack 15 Posted January 21, 2014 I thought Morishima-KENTA was excellent, my favourite match of 2014 so far for the tiny amount that's worth. Big man swats at little man matches are my favourite matches. The rest I could take or leave, though Haste/Nicholls vs. Okabayashi/Ishikawa was a lot of fun.
