Kenta Kobashi made his return to Pro Wrestling NOAH after the 4th match, being met with a hero's reception from the crowd. Dressed in a suit, Kobashi said that he had been recovering gradually, and that he would return to the ring without fail.

SUWA announced after his loss in the 5th match that he would be retiring before the Spring of 2007, and that he hoped to make the most of his remaining time competing for NOAH.

Well, that didn't last long. Morishima, your next GHC champ. Kobashi is still a crazy bastard. No more SUWA :(

[Gulak]

I'm challenging for the GHC World Heavyweight title after Morishima.

[Avenger]

good luck with that

[Gulak]

Thanks Avenger.

[Fignuts]

wtf

The booking of this title has been piss fucking poor the past few years. Fucking awful.

Hopefully Morishima or Kobashi take it from misiwa and give it another long run. Cause I don't think they're planning on keeping it on him long.

No more John Woo is gonna suck

Also, three other people will post here, then it will drop down the page.

[Gulak]

Ryu should have been booked to win that title a long time ago.

[Gulak]

RYU*

[Mr. Monday Morning]

But those 3 will be infinitely cooler than anyone else in this forum

[Fignuts]

I guess Misiwa had to really fight to win, which makes marufuji look pretty damn strong. But I would have preferred he beat misiwa, then lost to Morishima, Then Morishima beats misiwa. Because the only reason they're doing this is to give Morishima the title win over misiwa.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

WTF?!?! Why the hell did Misawa have to win. Jesus H. Christ.

And no more SUWA :( :(

This is horrible.

[Fignuts]

Seriously the title has been hot potatoed since Taue.

[Fignuts]

No more AWESOME marufuji singles matches for a while I guess

[Fignuts]

And isn't it about time for another super J cup? Last one was god awful. It needs redemption.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

You know, I wonder if SUWA leaving could be fake.... He is a dick, and been working with Voodoo Murders recently....

[Gulak]

NOAH has been downhill ever since the Shungoku Satsu was disallowed.

[Londoner]

*Posts just so he can be one of those 3 cool people.*

[Fignuts]

Too late TL.

[Fignuts]

I'm gonna keep bumping this thread, just to stick it to the man.

[Fignuts]

Nah, but seriously, this is the officual Noah thread.

Cause I said so.

[thecc]

Damn, I was hoping Marufuji would have held it for longer.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Nah, but seriously, this is the officual Noah thread.

Cause I said so.

Since that is the case...

the gaijin for the January tour have been announced. The main names are

Doug Williams
Nigel McGuinness


and



the BRISCOES

[D Mac]

How you guys distinguish one Jap from another is beyond me.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

The Briscoes in NOAH.... Hmmmmm.... THat's going to be... interesting. They never struck me as NOAH style... Also, I wonder if they're going to further the ROH Vs NOAH idea.

[Fignuts]

Further it by jobbing to Yone and Morishima, mayybe.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Touche'

[Mr. Monday Morning]

How you guys distinguish one Jap from another is beyond me.

Cause we're not retarded :y:

[What Would Kevin Do?]

What the fuck are you going on about? Give me one good reason why I shouldn't just delete that?

[Volare]

Kinda reminds me of the Ultimate Warrior...Just rants and raves and looks to the stars and you never know what the fuck he's talking about...but I guess it means something

From Green Destiny- http://noah.puroresufan.com/

Tokyo Sports announced their yearly pro wrestling awards today, and Pro Wrestling NOAH wrestlers did well in the standadings. Naomichi Marufuji did not succeed in his quest to become the MVP of wrestling in Japan, as Triple Crown champion and Marufuji's former partner Minoru Suzuki won the award, with Marufuji finishing second. Marufuji did however win the "Outstanding Performance" award, following Takeshi Rikio's win of that award in 2005. Finally, NOAH won the annual "Best Bout" for the fourth year running, as Naomichi Marufuji vs. KENTA for the GHC Heavyweight Title from the October 29th show won the award.

Mitsuharu Misawa will make his V1 defense of the GHC Heavyweight Title against the man who challenged him after his win on December 10th, as Takeshi Morishima will challenge for the belt at the first Tokyo Nippon Budokan show of the year on January 21st.


Honestly, anyone who hasn't checked out Marufuji vs KENTA from that link I posted needs to do so right now. Fantastic match. Dunno how I feel as Morishima as champ. I would have preferred if Marufuji would have held on to it til Kobashi was ready to challenge but oh well. Maybe Morishima will surprise me.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

MINORU MOTHERFUCKING GOD SUZUKI!!

Misiwa vs Marufuji

woooooooooooooooo

[Mr. Monday Morning]

And your NEW Jr Heavyweight Tag Team Champions are...the Briscoes

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Holy shit.

[Fignuts]

You know, with all the interpromotional stuff between ROH and NOAH/DragonGate, its not too far fetched to expect a ROH faction in the next Firepro.
