"The Green Guide" to the wheel of Noah's year

Hello, and welcome to another installment of "The Green Guide" series. In this post we are going to take a look at a typical year for Noah.
Before we begin, most (if all) of Noah's shows are in some way nautically themed (i.e. "Navigation with Storms"), although I have absolutely no idea what "Shiny Navigation" refers to.

Retirement shows are always given the prefix "Final". There have been about two so far, Kenta Kobashi's "Final Burning" and Genba Hirayanagi's "Final Bayashi" ("Bayashi" doesn't really translate well, it means something like an orchestra or a band or a musical accompaniment).

Defunct shows include anything to do with SEM (at one point they had their own "Great Voyage" shows, separate from the main Noah shows), "European Navigation" and "Weekday Navigation" (usually one off shows that took place out of main tour dates on a weekday).

"Great Voyage in..." (Yokohama is a tradition, but shows throughout the year are held in different cities).

So, roughly, the wheel of Noah's year looks like this:

January always starts off with "First Navigation", late January\early February usually sees another tour named "Second Navigation", late February\early March brings another tour sometimes named "Navigation for Evolution" (although this varies) or "Spring Navigation".
March is traditionally the time for "Global Tag League" (known as "GTL" for short, which is a tournament to crown the number one contending team for the GHC Heavyweight Tag Titles), April usually sees Noah head to the North of Japan in some form, and Global Tag League is wrapped up and "Great Voyage in Yokohama" takes place (these are Noah's bigger shows of the year).
May welcomes in the early summer and "Navigation for Breeze" takes place.
June is traditionally a very sad month in Noah due to Mitsuharu Misawa's death in 2009; and a memorial show always takes place, with that month's tour named after him ("Mitsuharu Misawa, always in our hearts" and in 2018, "Navigation for Emerald Spirits") July and August usher in "Summer Navigation" and traditionally the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag League (the GHC Junior League has been held only twice, in 2009 and 2015,with Daisuke Harada being the last winner). September brings "Southern Navigation" and October "Autumn Navigation" and usually another "Great Voyage Show". It is late October\early November when Global League starts to determine the number one contender to the GHC Heavyweight Title.
November sees Noah start to wrap up the year with "Winter Navigation" which runs from late in the month to December. December\early January (usually at New Year) is Noah's final show of the year before everyone celebrates the holidays, "NoahFul Gift" (formerly known as "NoahFul Gift in Differ" before Noah had to leave the venue).

Special produce shows are starting to make a comeback as the company starts to recover from the recent dark years, RATELS are producing their own box office in June. Produce shows have not been done since KENTA & Marufuji did them back in the early 2000s before Misawa's death.

Sometimes you may see shows billed as "The Leave presents...". "The Leave" are a property management company who have been one of Noah's sponsors since the early days of the company, they are also responsible for supplying the chocolates the wrestlers hand out after shows at Korakuen Hall.

Stand alone shows like "All Together Now", which are benefit shows, take place throughout the year, such as for "TAKAYAMANIA" to raise funds for Yoshihiro Takayama. There are also produce shows like "Holy War" which are done by outside producers (such as Kenta Kobashi with "Fortune K" or Toshiaki Kawada with "Holy War" for example), who are usually not affiliated with Noah, but nevertheless have a connection with the promotion in some form.

Sadly, the days of the stadium shows belong to the Golden Era of Noah, and Noah no longer run shows titled things like "Destiny" as they once did.
