NOAHful Gift in Differ '09

Atsushi Aoki's opponent was "Mr. Christmas"

This was held at Differ Ariake on Thursday 24th December 2009. The lottery (see below) started at 18:15, the event started at 19:00.

The first event was held at 3pm.
In Japan it is traditional that over the New Year period rice cakes are made. Noah held a competition, you could come in if you had a ticket for the Differ Ariake event but you bought your own drinks (neither Noah or Differ were offering them on the house).
Photography with the wrestlers was not allowed during the event as were signatures.

A "Kids Corner" was set up in the lobby.

The fight card was selected by lottery (again another annual tradition), if you caught the drawing ball you decided the match AND you were invited to the New Years party on Saturday January 9th 2010.

There were twenty-six Noah wrestlers (except KENTA who was suffering a knee injury and Masou Inoue who was also absent), two from Kensuke Office (Katsuhiko Nakajima and Kensuke Sasaki) and Yoshihiro Takayama, so that made twenty-nine wrestlers to choose from.
Plus Mr. Christmas (although I don't think he counted).

Naomichi Marufuji screened the first "Christmas Video Vol.1" at his produce event earlier in the month, it looks like a picture of Misawa was distributed to attendees.

Seats ranged from 4,000 to 6,000 yen.
