This is for everything I plan on posting that has to do with 'not big' Japanese shows. By that I mean, not a tourney, and not Wrestle Kingdom.
Starting some things off with a NOAH card.
Starting some things off with a NOAH card.
Personally, the card looks good. The Diamond Ring vs NOAH matches look interesting, but the card shines after. The Junior Tag Titles and Junior Title matches both look like they'll be good ones, and the six man tag one has the hilariousness of Akebono, who is actually a decent wrestler. The Onita six-man tag match worries me, because it's Onita, but as long as him and Takayama stiff each other, it should be fine. The other two matches, for the GHC Tag Titles and the GHC Heavyweight Title... look awesome. I trust Go and Saito to have an awesome match with Suguira and Marufuji. As for Morishima and Kojima, expecting a hard brutal fight, where both men refuse to give up. Morishima is a beast, and Kojima is always a great talent.NOAH “GREAT VOYAGE 2012 in RYOGOKU vol.2”, 12/9/2012 [Sun] 15:00 @ Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo
