(NOAH) Event recap - Global Tag League 2018 Night 2 - Hiroshima Industry Centre West Exhibition Hall, 20th March 2018

YO-HEY & HAYATA (I think YO-HEY is talking about HAYATA being from Hiroshima. HAYATA looks like he is trying not to laugh, says "same" and walks off. RATELS had been out drinking until 2am the night before)

Go Shiozaki was on autograph duty in Hiroshima. I often wonder how he must feel every time he goes to the city considering what happened to Misawa happened right in front of him.

MATCH 1
Yoshinari Ogawa & Masao Inoue vs Tadasuke and Junta Miyawaki
Masao Inoue picked up a rare win by doing an Argentine back-breaker on Junta Miyawaki

MATCH 2
Hajime Ohara & Hitoshi Kumano vs YO-HEY & HAYATA
Hitoshi Kumano defeated YO-HEY with the Argentine Backbreaker. It is rare to see the same move used two matches concurrently as a finisher.

MATCH 3
3-way
Daisuke Harada vs Hi69 vs Minoru Tanaka
Hi69 victorious. After the match Minoru Tanaka extended his hand to him, Hi69 bowed and walked away.

Minoru Tanaka later posted "......................"

MATCH 4
Naomichi Marufuji & Atsushi Kotoge vs Jay Bradley & Akitoshi Saito
Jay Bradley spoke Japanese, I can't make out exactly what he said from the post on Twitter, but I think he said something like "stupid bastards". Well, with that kind of language, he is certainly fitting into Noah well!

Atsushi Kotoge beat Akitoshi Saito

The mascot (a big bird) from one of Marufuji's sponsors came to the event and went to through the red tape, unfortunately they missed and it bounced off the ropes and apron. They did present Marufuji with some ohagi (a Japanese sweet made of glutinous rice and Azuki bean) afterwards, which in true Hiroshima style was huge.

MATCH 5
(GLOBAL TAG LEAGUE)
Takashi Sugiura & Kenoh vs Cody Hall & KAZMA SAKAMOTO

Kenoh wins with the diving footstamp on KAZMA.

Takashi Sugiura is of the belief that everything is well between himself and Kenoh, although Kenoh has said and done nothing yet, Sugiura may yet be fooling himself.

MATCH 6
(GLOBAL TAG LEAGUE)
The Aggression vs Maybach Taniguchi & Mitsuya Nagai
Nagai and Taniguchi ambushed The Aggression from the entryway. Katsuhiko Nakajima may have picked up a slight leg injury according to an onlooker.
Match went to a count out which is rare for Nakajima.

MATCH 7
(GLOBAL TAG LEAGUE)
Mohammed Yone & Quiet Storm vs Go Shiozaki & Kaito Kiyomiya
Match came to a draw much to everyone's frustration.
