(NOAH) CARD: ABEMA presents N-1 VICTORY 2023 (Thursday August 10th, Korakuen Hall, Tokyo)

It is now Night 3 of the N-1 VICTORY, and not a situation where you want to continue a non winning streak. The pressure is on for those at the bottom to rise up and for those at the top to continue their wins. Even for those in the middle, the pressure is on to swim, rather than sink. From the first night until the last night, one mistake can make the difference between advancing and failing. Tonight has the potential to be a night of big upsets. 

The doors open at 17:30 JST (for fan club members, I believe Takashi Sugiura may be doing ringside photographs), with the event starting at 18:30 JST. The first two matches will be streamed live on Noah's Official YouTube, and the whole event streamed live on WrestleUniverse. English and Japanese commentary is available. You can recap on Night 2 here.

MATCH SIX

GHC JUNIOR TAG NUMBER ONE CONTENDER MATCH

Atsushi Kotoge & HI69 vs AMAKUSA and Junta Miyawaki

The winners of this match will go on to face Good Looking Guys (YO-HEY and Tadasuke) for the number one contendership for the GHC Junior Tag, which is held by STINGER (Chris Ridgeway and Daga). Atsushi Kotoge and HI69 seem the more in tune team, as they are both taking their positions now as the head of the Noah Juniors (aside from Yoshinari Ogawa, the most senior man in the division and the roster), while AMAKUSA and Junta Miyawaki seem like Miyawaki is on some kind of probationary period.
