dragonzombie Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 People online think he is western wrestling world bound. I think he would be better off in NJPW, his trainers are former NJPW guys, Riki Choshu, Kensuke Sasaki and Masa Saito. More kicky types should be in NJPW to cleanse off remaining Tanahashi style.

dragonzombie Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 The GHC Hardcore Openweight title is coming back. It has been inactive since 2009. I remember reading about the GHC Hardcore Openweight title being retired in the defunct Noah section of Puroresufans, anyway I'm glad that board is dead. So Ninja Mack vs mystery guy for the belt.

dragonzombie Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Tomorrow's the day, Nakajima's last NOAH show. Dude's already freelance though. And will Jake Lee lose the GHC HW to Kenoh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Lot of info from Director Takeda https://proresu-today.com/archives/229307/ Post Muto they decided on that they don't want to do too many big matches They didn't know Nakajima wanted to leave until contract renewing and he gave no real reasons why Notable to me is the dojo system could be toned down in the future They strongly prefer amateur wrestlers Jake Lee is on 1 year contract. They want contracted and dojo trained women instead of freelancers, for the GHC Women's title Going foward they will mostly focus on themselves. I'm not sure if they will drop the NJPW/NOAH crossovers. There is more info in the link but I'm not jotnoting it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 If NOAH tones down their dojo, then they will be getting rid of the strict rules for the young men. In this day and age most men want lax rules. Lifestyle matters and changes for the young men of today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favorite NOAH matches of the year so far? Shinsuke Nakamura vs Great Muta. The last two Mutoh matches from the Dome this year. For sentimental reasons. Maybe Kento vs Nakajima. Honestly I preferred the years of 2020 to 2021. Bit of 2022. Edited October 31, 2023 by Kang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favorite NOAH matches of the year so far? Kento vs Nakajima by far. I did really enjoy Kaito's matches against Kenoh and Okada earlier on in the year. Marufuji vs Ospreay probably rounds out my favourites list. Very disappointed in Jake Lee's run, not that its been bad, I just had really high hopes for it.

dragonzombie Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Nice to know submission finishes can still work in NOAH main events. Not very Royal Road type of finishes but old NJPW 90's. Kenoh was trained by Jinsei Shinzaki and Kenoh is a Michinoku Pro trueborn. Manabu Soya was trained by Seiji Sakaguchi, Tatsumi Fujinami, Riki Choshu, Osamu Nishimura and Scott D'Amore. In AJPW in the past, Soya switched to Choshu-ism and later on his neck broke, so his style became tad bit more sports entertainment. Aside from Kaito (who himself has went under the Osaka style training and later learned from combat sports dudes and some Muto training) most of the top guys of 2023 don't have the NOAH dojo or trueborn status. Jake Lee did have some supplemental training under Atsushi Aoki in the AJPW dojo, Atsushi Aoki was a NOAH trueborn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
