Present day NOAH in one single picture

Oh damn. That's worse than I thought.

NOAH needs to start building their lower-card. It has so much talent and so much potential. Their strategy for building and improving green wrestlers is completely ass backwards. They have this fetish with their tag titles, and throw their heavyweight title around like it's the midcard title.

It boggles my mind how the same people who booked New Japan's biggest boom period have done this (if they even still book for NOAH) to NOAH.

Jado books NOAH, Gedo books NJPW. Jado and Gedo who are your next challengers for the noah junior tag titles alongside Taka&Taichi (3way tag).
And yeah, Yano and Marufuji broke K.E.S' record setting 500+, 10 defenses strong reign with the tag belts. DBS Jr and Archer got to crush Misawa's record and had to job to Yano Toru (who is more over than any NOAH heavyweight around currently).

Spoiler: NOAH's Super J-Cup Qualifying Bracket

This could be the place to really showcase Kaito Kiyomiya. Have some really good matches with old veterans. I'm certain he won't be going to the actual Super J, but I really want NOAH to do something with him. Repackage with a gimmick and NOAH can have a fresh new talent on their hands.

Too optimistic, but being a NOAH mark just has me hoping they will do something right for once.

"Trailer for ibushi's new promotion, soon featuring Godzilla vs Akebono.

Watching Osaka Voyage.

They dimmed down the arena so much, to cover up the empty seats, that you can barely see the front row.

They go crowd brawling in Maybach vs Benjamin. So prepare for a tour of the arena

Shame the show drew so poorly. It was a good show.

It's a shame the crowds that do show up don't care either. Dead crowds make good/okay content bad. None of the matches were bad (well, Genba's bath salt gimmick aside). But it all fell flat when the crowds didn't care. Maybach took that table bump for nothing

 

[Roadster]

A great table bump it was. It was kind of a lost cause after Benjamin and Maybach. They had the crowd on their feet at certain points and when the crowd died by the end of the match, I knew it wasn't going to get any better.

 

[Stopspot]

I would not say on their feet. But they were making noise at the very least. Most over match was the junior tag title one by a mile.
