You're gonna get your loving head kicked in.

Two months ago, Kenoh and Nakajima fought in the finals of the N-1 and it loving ruled. Since then, Kenoh has won the GHC National TItle from Mochizuki and Nakajima parlayed his N-1 win into beating Marufuji for the GHC Heavyweight title. Now here's the rub. NOAH has a show at the Nippon Budokan on January first, Kenoh's birthday. Kenoh wants to main event that show, but he can only get top billing if he is the GHC Heavyweight Champion, so he is challenging his stable mate and putting his own belt on the line as payment. The last time NOAH did a match for these two titles was last year's 60 minute draw with Kenoh facing Go Shiozaki which also ruled. Go has been out injured since March and Nakajima has been subtly calling him out, so hope for an appearance if Nakajima walks out today as champion.

I'm so excited for the main event, and even if it's really a one match show that one match is going to hard carry, both these guys have the stamina to go an hour and they enjoy beating the absolute dogshit out of each other. The show will be broadcast live and free on Abema.tv and live on Wrestle Universe with English commentary. Come watch, it's going to be great.

One hour until this starts. Looks like there's a preshow on the Japanese side as they're starting earlier than the English stream

On the Abema preshow they showed highlights of the Tanaka defence, including when Katsu punted him in the head as hard as he could. It's no less horrifying in hindsight

Also the ending of the Kenoh/Mocchy match

I don't mind Suzuki or Susumu, they're solid enough. But dammit, just give me Yoshioka vs YO-HEY, they're two of the best in the division

I've got a bad feeling that the Suzuki storyline will end with him joining Stinger AGAIN somehow, featuring the guy who betrayed him twice and the guy who he brought into the company, who swiftly betrayed him.

Also I like that YO-HEY got turned into a giant arsehole after getting betrayed by HAYATA, Tadasuke and Yoshioka in the last year

It's a shame NOSAWA sucks so much, because his theme is great

Commentary promised an announcement after the ring was disinfected but after the disinfection they went straight to the next match! And it's a NOSAWA match! :argh:
