Mitsuharu Misawa, The Man Who Made Noah


Foreword

The testimony of the "Staff of Mitsuharu Misawa"
"It is a dreamlike story, the moment we were talking about something with President Misawa for the first time. It was made possible at the Nippon Budokan and in the Tokyo Dome too. It seems a long time ago what was written in the past"
Mr Ryo Nakada of Pro Wrestling Noah the director (and ring announcer) talks as if he remembers a long distant past.
It is unreasonable.
Mr Nakada, who belonged to All Japan (a long established group founded by Giant Baba) was not talking about what Mr. Misawa was able to do in Spring 2000, but after leaving All Japan. I decided to start halfway from there.

At that time, it was a dream to believe he would be able to lead a large organisation, rather than open a domestic tournament four years later. Nakada, who was exhausted from the old everyday activities, frequently talked to Misawa about the suffering of being the successor president of Baba while drinking Sake.
In All Japan a new group, SWS, was emerging with Geniichiro Tenryu when a large crowd of people departed. Nakada said every evening with Baba and Baba's wife, Makoto, there was a meeting in the lobby of the Capitol Tokyo Hotel, but during his anguish over leaving All Japan the meeting was held in Sumida. 
"You are tired?"
"I have had enough"
He wanted to have a drink and complain.
Nakada talked about his thoughts and his reasons.
