Brian Fowler Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 They don't even currently have weekly TV in Japan, do they? That's a large mountain to scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 They want to be number 2 but know there's no way to overcome NJPW. They're going to focus on merch sales first before expanding attendances. They're going to be budget minded hence the reduction of renting buildings and reduce paying to recycle streamers. NOAH could pay to get back on NTV but nothing like that has been mentioned yet so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 To be honest, I think I've only watched one or two NOAH matches total from the last several years, so I have no real reference to how good or bad the shows are now. I did watch Marufuji vs Sugiura from last year coming off his CC run and TC match. But I immediately pretty much forgot about wanting to see more right after. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Zero-1 shows show up online and they have occasional stuff air on TV. I think 3 or 4 shows this year in one form or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Puroresudream twitter puts up the z1 stuff cause it's niconico stuff and some samurai stuff, eventually ends up in other places of note too. Ends on nefarious SOVIET sites as well. *cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaeBlazer Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 The new NOAH logo is here and it’s controversial to say the least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 They updated the site. https://www.noah.co.jp I was right about the colors chosen and the dropping of the bird and boat. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Seems there's a MMA guy and others not yet added to the roster. Edited March 6, 2019 by D.Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Pretty great poster, I’d say. Striking and visually dissimilar to the maximalist posters of the other companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archibald Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I think that logo looks whatever, but it really works well with that poster. If they'll manage to constantly deliver such high quality posters then I won't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beech27 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) NOAH has also added a slogan, which I've seen generally translated as "fighting, with aesthetics." I get it, but I prefer to imagine the roster engaged in a kind of debate club, or removing the comma and suplexing Aquinas.

#BlueJustice Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Liger has put so much time, sweat, blood, and tears into this business. Such a storied career, it'll be sad to see it come to an end, but the man deserves a beautiful sendoff. Looking forward to seeing what he'll do between now and January, and there will be tears in the Tokyo Dome next year. One of the best to ever do it.
