(NOAH) The Green Guide to the RATELS box office (30th June 2018)

RATELS are holding their first produce show on 30th June 2018 at ShinKiba 1st ring. Bell sounds at 18.30 (JST). Event is being sponsored by "The Leave" (property management company who have been long term supporters of Noah and have never left them) 

ABOUT
Mitsuharu Misawa started the tradition in the early 2000s by letting KENTA & Naomichi Marufuji do their own produce shows. This tradition has continued beyond Misawa with produce shows done by "Super Violent Army" and now RATELS. These smaller shows are booked and planned by the wrestlers themselves, they plan everything from who is going to be on the card to how the matches will finish. It is a mark of Noah finally being able to get back on their feet that after the dark years, these things can come round again.
These produce shows are not only a good money making and publicity machine, but they also prepare the younger wrestlers for the future by giving them some responsibility and an overview in what is involved with running a promotion. In Noah there is a tradition for the younger wrestlers to take their places in the boardroom some day, and it is not inconcievable to think that one day one of RATELS (probably Daisuke Harada) will, even though he\they are not "Noah born".

FAQ

Will this show be televised?
The show will not be going out live unfortunately, and as Noah currently have no streaming service, it will most likely be shown on a later date. Nothing has been announced as of yet.

Will there be a DVD\Blu-Ray release?
Noah currently have no distribution service.

Will I be able to buy merchandise?
Daisuke Harada announced that special merchandise will be sold exclusively at the venue. I am not sure if any of it will make its way to Noah's online shop.

Are any titles going to be defended?
Takashi Sugiura has joked he had an idea that he would challenge for Daisuke Harada's Junior Heavyweight Belt and roll up at Marufuji's 20th with two belts, but I doubt the belt or any belts will be defended as while these shows are done by Noah wrestlers, these shows are not considered to have any bearing on official Noah shows.
