Noah is the best and worst of puro all at once. Brilliant juniors booked in the most baffling way possible. The best modern example of strong style wrestling in an amazing main event scene that is sometimes dominated by a man who last had a functioning knee joint during the Shōwa era. Some of the hottest young stars in the business losing matches with a booker whose gimmick is that he hates the fans and enjoys when they are disappointed.

I watch as much NOAH as anyone & definitely get mad about them an awful lot, but right now I have 21 NOAH matches at MOTYC, which I dunno, feels like a lot. More than All Japan, equal with DDT, 4 more than Dragon Gate, more than AEW but then I've only really been watching them for half a year.

(Also Mutoh has TWO MOTYC according to this thread so show some respect to kneeless grandpa!)

Togo vs Nosawa on the preshow of the NJPW-NOAH show, winner gets to book the main card. Match ends when Gedo interferes and beats the piss out of both of them and goes back to doing all the booking himself.

Dragon Gate's Gate of Origin at Sendai Sun Plaza, 11/27

HM: Kagetora vs Takuma Fujiwara
HM: Masaaki Mochizuki vs Ryu Fuda

A fun pair of debuts for some good ol' fashioned Veteran/Young Boy matches. Cool to see Dragon Gate dropping a new kick boy already with Fuda.

HM: Masquerade (Shun Skywalker, Kota Minoura, Jason Lee, Dragon Dia & La Estrella) vs RED (Eita, Kaito Ishida, H・Y・O, Diamante & Dia Inferno)

Heel schmozz stuff aside, these two units can't miss bell to bell, and the ending for this match was one of the most fun things I've seen in wrestling al year Estrella dives out on Diamante, and both knock into the announce table, knocking the mics incredibly close to the announcers, perfectly timed to capture (I think) Kzy's awkwardly loud exclamation of HOLY poo poo to Dia hitting a wicked DDT


MOTYC: Open the Twin Gate Title - Natural Vibes (Susumu Yokosuka & King Shimizu) vs DoiYoshi (not that one) (Naruki Doi & Takashi Yoshida)
MOTYC: Open the Dream Gate Title - YAMATO vs Ben-K

Dream Gate match was the self-indulgent YAMATO match I was expecting from his Hulk defense. Guess Hulk can't do 30 minute "epics" anymore. Definition of slow burn, but KAI stuff aside, incredibly compelling match by the end.

Yeah, I was pretty glad it was cut to 2 hours for SamuraiTV.

Oddly the crowd didn't sound as dead as I expected even if it looked like there were 200 people in a venue that could hold 6000

Nth for these.

Leaving out the rookie debuts because I don't think they're quite on the same level and the results were never remotely in doubt, but they're still good and worth checking out. Looking forward to them getting characters/units in 2022.

WMOTYC: Katsuhiko Nakajima (c) vs Kenoh (c) for the GHC Heavyweight and GHC National Championships, NOAH the Best, 2021/11/29
I wanted to like this match, believe me, but these champion vs champion winner-takes-all matches are a hard sell because you know very much what the result will be. And I wish it was 60 minutes of good ring action, but it wasn't. None of the limbwork mattered (Kenoh gets his leg worked on, then decides to do multiple PFSs that, y'know, make him put half of his bodyweight on his bad leg), and they just kicked and kicked and kicked and kicked and kicked and kicked and kicked and kicked and kicked and kicked and kicked and kicked and suuuuuuuure those were all great kicks but this is the wrestling equivalent of eating at the Heart Attack Grill for me. This isn't the Kobashi/Sasaki Chop War from NOAH Destiny, nor the Ibushi/Taichi Kick Fight from last year's G1 Climax. Those two matches knew when to end. I love these guys but I can't love this overindulgent main event at all.

No more. Please.

I did not see the time-limit draw coming. This is the best time-limit draw match I've seen, as nowhere did I think they were actually going to draw. Also holy poo poo that eye blood

Thought I'd look in on a couple matches from the current Nooj tour. This obviously slaps because all Suzukigun matches are good. But this has the additional of Taichi clearly feeling abandoned by his bestie & Suzuki, as the masterful leader of men he is, has decided these fuckers need to fight it out.

Exactly what it needed to be.
