The Z Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 7 minutes ago, D.Z said: Not contracted. OK, I trust you on that one. But technically Marufuji, Ogawa and Inoue are the only three still left from the first show. Akitoshi Saito also joined NOAH before Sugiura. (I admit I had to look that up.)

Kang Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Akitoshi Saito wasn't contracted either for awhile before resigning. The 3 on the poster stayed since and kept renewing contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 NOAH has another new masked guy, Aleja aka Kohei Fujimura aka Alejandro formerly of W-1. For now he is freelance. You can check the NOAH contracted and non contracted roster page here https://www.noah.co.jp/profile/ if you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Dr. Marufuji, Jr. should really return and challenge for the GHC title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kang Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Could be interesting fuse or shit like match says the articles, lol. "When Kazushi Sakuraba's professional wrestling and Naomichi Marufuji's professional wrestling are fused, I think it will be a messy or shit-like match, but I want to make it a messy and interesting match. Then, I would like to defeat Mr. Sakuraba on that basis. "Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spontaneous Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Kiyomiya-Nakajima from the Kongo vs Noah show was really good. Kenoh-Kitamiya was good and Alejo looked ready to challenge for the Jr title. I'm hyped for Marufuji-Sakuraba. Should be an interesting contrast. The Jr tag title could steal the show, Ohara/Harada is a fun team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Yes, if anyone should be giving Sakuraba grappling advice, it's Kashin. Um... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jimbo_Tsuruta Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I really enjoyed Kiyomiya v Nakajima, should really try and stick with NOAH longer than I usually do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Marufuji won (using Misawa killing method of moves)and will face the winner of the N 1 for his third defense. Marufuji will not be in the N 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kang Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) Yes the Z 1 World HW title is on the line as well. The title with lineage from the AWA World HW title.   Edited August 1, 2021 by D.Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Some classic Muto/Muta BS vs Kiyomiya. Guy is a drain on NOAH if he doesn't eventually put Kiyomiya over big. At least that youngster Ogawa got to stand up to him today. I just have no faith in Muto to do the right thing here and until I see it, it just feels like a waste. That aside, Marufuji-Sakuraba was fun and worth checking out. The strike exchange segment was fun due to Sakuraba's charisma. The Jr tag title match was good and Hayata vs Yo-Hey was ok. N1 should end with Kaito pinning Muto but Kenoh and Nakajima feel in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kang Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 The respective group winners of the blocks above will face each others in a final group on October 3rd. They been building up Kaito as the young ace in media now as someone who needs to overcome Muto. Surprised Muto is doing N 1 matches but those small blocks do mean less matches and so less wear on the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Z Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Mostly a good line-up, but I'm sad that Yoshiki Inamura can't take part this year. Also surprised that Akitoshi Saito will be in the tournament, but not Shuhei Taniguchi. Would have liked to maybe see another young guy in there like Kinya Okada, instead of Saito or Kotaru Suzuki. I'm putting my money on Masa Kitamiya to win the tournament this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Muto is going to go undefeated, win the N-1, get his belt back from Marufuji and retire 3 months later after putting over Saito or Ogawa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
