Soya lived in Canada for awhile. He trained at the Can-Am Wrestling School under Scott D'Amore. Soya worked independent shows in Ontario, then he reappeared working for AJPW again years ago.

The Great Muta's daughter pre-debuted on Monday Magic, she misted the other women in the ring.  Her name is The Great Sakuya. She will team up with the now freelancing Nagisa Nozaki on the big NOAH 1.2 New Years show next year.

Monday Magic concludes on Dec 18th, MONDAY MAGIC ep FINAL. I'm not sure they will do it again next year or will they drop it for good. It was an experiment.

Sugi will face Ulka Sasaki in a singles match on the 1.2 New Years show.  It will be Ulka Sasaki debut pro wrestling match. I think they dropped booking those GHC MMA matches.

Manabu Soya did Dragon Style moves and made Kenoh lose to the Dragon Sleeper.

Kota Ibushi vs Naomichi Marufuji is the main event of the The New Year show. A tradition at this point for booking non title special attraction match over the GHC HW title for new years.

Marufuji has around 5 years left then he will retire. But the match he will have against Ibushi is pivotal to his retirement road. The retirement road for Marufuji started with the Ospreay match.

Marufuji switched his style up years ago, to smartly make his career last longer. His right arm is wonky due to Kenny Omega injuring it in 2010. Some of his body is perma injured like most wrestlers.

CyberFight reported a loss of 104 million yen for the fiscal year ending on the month of Sep 2023. They lost 682 million yen last year. Total debt is 1.478 million yen. Or is it billion? Translations aren't universal for the debt numbers.

I would suggest massive cuttings and shuttering Ganbare, and the restaurant management. 

They did cut down on renting buildings and several players have left.

CyberFight isn't that old, since 2020, so it takes few more years to become profitable. They're backed with lots of money anyways to stay afloat for now.

Christ the 1/2 show looks rough.  Marufuji/Ibushi is happening about 7 years too late and it's going to be something to see if Maru can drag anything decent out of post injury Ibushi.
