It is time for the final proper NOAH show of the year (there are still those upcoming produce shows), and this one should be a scorcher.


most of the match fluff shamelessly stolen from NOAH'S ARKIVE.


Hajime Ohara vs Yasutaka Yano

Rookie Yano is gunning for a W, but can he overcome the 16 year vet Ohara?



Kongoh (Katsuhiko Nakajima, Masa Kitamiya & Manabu Soya) vs The Anti Wrestlers Alliance (Akitoshi Saito & Masao Inoue) & Masashi Aoyagi

Katsuhiko Nakajima gave a big thumbs up to this match on his social media. If there is one thing that Nakajima loves, its irritating his seniors, and stamping on the gouty feet of Masao Inoue. Expect an Akitoshi Saito vs Masa Kitamiya or Manabu Soya screaming shoulder tackle fight.



STINGER (Yoshinari Ogawa & HAYATA) vs MOMO NO SEISHUN (Atsushi Kotoge & Junta Miyawaki)

The last time they met, Miyawaki was kept out of the ring and Kotoge had to fight by himself. In the end HAYATA beat him with the belt and lost by disqualification. Kotoge, who lost the belt to Ogawa and HAYATA, cannot afford to get stuck in a rut.



Go Shiozaki & Kinya Okada vs Shuhei Taniguchi & Mohammed Yone

Listen, we had to have Shiozaki on this card - thankfully it's not the main event, so he can at least try not to get into a hellish fight again. On the other hand Taniguchi did lose to Mutoh, so he might be out to prove something.



Kotaro Suzuki vs Susumu

After being expelled from STINGER, Kotaro bought in Sarubahe de Oriente as a partner to take on Ogawa & HAYATA. However, Kotaro's blueprint for taking the tag belts, was destroyed by the betrayal of Oriente. Exposing his true identity, Susumu took off his mask and joined STINGER. Will this be a grudge match for the angry Kotaro? Or will further upheaval occur?



Naomichi Marufuji & FULL THROTTLE (Seiki Yoshioka & YO-HEY) vs Kongoh (Kenoh, Haoh and Nioh)

RIP Marufuji & the FULL THROTTLE dweebs, it's Kenoh with a chip on his shoulder, fresh off a win against Sakuraba. (Kenoh is especially angry as he has been called something along the lines of a "uniform wrestler" or one that does not stand out. I think it was The Sugiura Army who made the comment, but no doubt Kenoh will take it out on Marufuji.)



GHC JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Daisuke Harada (c) vs Tadasuke

This is the champion's first defense. Tadasuke betrayed Harada in August, and left RATELS and entered Kongoh.



GHC HEAVYWEIGHT TAG
The Sugiura Army (Takashi Sugiura & Kazushi Sakuraba) (c) vs Yoshiki Inamura & Kaito Kiyomiya

This is the third defense for the champions. On the December 6th show in Yoyogi, both Sugiura and Sakuraba failed to win single titles - they cannot afford to lose the tag team championship here ahead of the Sugiura Army box office. In contrast, Inamura decided to leave Kongoh and make a tag with Kiyomiya. In Yoyogi, he defeated the M'S Alliance by his explosive new technique, "Musuo", in his tag with Kiyomiya. Will Sugiura, who is heading into his 20th anniversary, brush him off? Will this be Inamura's first championship?


Show starts in ~10 minutes, the Wrestle Universe stream is already up. Come watch NOAH if you're up.

Oh cool, nice to see there's a thread for this.

Interested to see how Yuya Susumu holds up his end against Suzuki, and the tag title match should slap. Also the 2 Kongo 6 man tags should be fun, Nak vs oldies is gold, Kenoh being an angry prick is always the best.

So is Yano the Noah equivalent of a young lion, or do things work differently in Noah?

I'm on the west coast, so a midnight show is something I always enjoy. Plus I just kicked off my scheduled vacation, so gently caress yes let's celebrate with some puro.

AFAIK, it's pretty much that.

He's not bad, and his body slam was nicely done, but I really need to see him lay in those strikes a bit more.

Ooh, that was a neat submission.

Yes, he's only been active for about 6 weeks so he is very green.

Even as a newcomer, Nakajima really feels like something special.

Very much looking forward to this match. Harada is my second favourite Jr behind El Desperado, and Tadasuke is such a loveable sleezeball

What I like most about Sakuraba is that he looks like this unassuming dude, but he can still take your limb whenever he feels like it.

Decent show. Hadn't seen any of the smaller Noah ones until now. Lots to like here.
