Some NOAH backstage info from VOV:
- NOSAWA is gone from NOAH, Kendo Kashin has taken over booking duties.
═══════════════
I don't is it any better we have to wait couple months to see real changes.
- Though NOSAWA has left NOAH as an active wrestler and booker, he was not actually offered a new contract to stay in the first place.
- YO-HEY was offered a new contract, but refused and has also left NOAH.
═══════════════
Great, never liked him or enjoyed his work.
- In fact all of Los Perros is officially done appearing in NOAH for now as all were freelancers during their time in the promotion.
- Marufuji told the roster that NOSAWA was ousted by CyberFight directly for “corrupt business practices” with a cited example being the all juniors show that only drew 1,500 in Sumo Hall.
═══════════════
Show was absolutely disapoiment, and run all Juniors show at Ryogoku was stupid idea from start.
- CF feels NOSAWA wasted money bringing in foreigners and freelancers instead of stacking both Sumo Hall shows with the rest of the roster.
- One signed NOAH wrestler admitted the freelancers are being paid more than the actual NOAH roster.
═══════════════
I liked freelancers and foreigners appearing, but that's fucked up.
- The “corrupt” part has to do with the claim that NOSAWA purposely didn’t book heavyweights on that show so he wouldn’t have to pay them and instead give higher paychecks to his friends.
- President of DDT, Sanshiro Takagi has received direct complaints from the younger guys on NOAH’s roster about older wrestlers who are also NOSAWA’s friends coming in and taking their spots.
- Other reasons CF ousted NOSAWA included not making NOAH profitable enough and focusing on relationships outside of NOAH such as New Japan and Dragon Gate instead of DDT.
- NOSAWA is focusing on creating a new lucha inspired promotion that will build around Los Perros
