(NOAH) The best RATELS moments

"YOU CAN'T EAT THOSE"

After visiting a deer park, in an interview afterwards YO-HEY said he wanted to eat the deer pellets that they were feeding to the animals. 

Tadasuke told him that he couldn't eat them.  

YO-HEY, "I'm in RATELS! I can eat anything I want".

DAISUKE HARADA DRESSES AS HAYATA FOR "NOAHFUL GIFT"

The New Year shows are light-hearted, all feuds are forgotten, and in the spirit of the season, Noah dress up and usually have light-hearted matches.

RATELS had two matches in 2017; the first was a fatal four-way which saw Daisuke Harada left hung up on the turnbuckle upside down (and no one came to help him), and the second was a Battle Royal in which everyone dressed up.

Daisuke Harada dressed up as HAYATA. 

HAYATA was not amused and could be seen giving him a filthy look afterwards. Shortly afterwards, HAYATA challenged him for the GHC Heavyweight Junior Championship. 

"A FEW WORDS FROM THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE PTA"

"That is all from the PTA president. PTA Vice Chairman, if you would like to say something, it would be appreciated."

HAYATA just walks off silently.

HAYATA WON'T JOIN IN 

At the RATELS press conference for their box office produce coming up in late June 2018, RATELS stood up at the end of their interview to pose. HAYATA refused to join in, although the others tried to get him to. 

TADASUKE PASSES OUT DRUNK

Tadasuke has been photographed passing out (or at least falling asleep) drunk on at least a couple of occasions. The most recent two times where at a small Noah New Year's party, where he was photographed with his eyes shut at the table with Naomichi Marufuji grinning at the table, and the second was a few months ago (as of June 2018) where he appeared to have passed out on a sofa.

HAYATA GIGGLING 

At "Winter Navigation 2017" YO-HEY & HAYATA faced their opponents, the masked GurukunMask and Shuji-Joe. They made fun of YO-HEY & HAYATA in their interview with Shuji-Joe saying "same" to everything GurukunMask said, like HAYATA does with YO-HEY. 

So YO-HEY & HAYATA had their revenge by putting on masks to imitate them.

HAYATA, who can make a mask look photogenic, started laughing, YO-HEY noticed, pointed at him as he turned away, and then joined in himself. 

"STOP TALKING ABOUT MY BALLS?"

(Tadasuke had kicked Minoru Tanaka in the groin to win)

Tadasuke: Do you understand what I am saying? I am owed it! I borrowed it! I will get it back! I am good in non title matches, today I could have gotten a belt in this match...yeah...let us do it...challenge for the belt. What do you want?

Harada: The junior championship race for the belt ended, and we had no further thoughts of it, but honestly, we will challenge and take it from them. Furthermore, we will further boost the Noah juniors.

(Hi69 and Minoru Tanaka burst in, Minoru Tanaka appears to be holding some kind of iron pole)

Hi69: Hey! I've beaten you before, what are you talking about?

Tanaka: Kick to win! You know what happens when I kick you!

Tadasuke: Wait, wait, wait - one at a time!

Tanaka: I'll kick you in your balls.

Hi69: Do you understand what we want to say!

Harada: What do you guys want?

Tanaka: I want to kick him in the nuts!

Hi69: Shut up! Lets do it! Let us challenge for the belt in the time being!

Tanaka: Fine! But I don't want to pass up kicking you in the balls.

Hi69: Vital parts messed up! Next!

Tadasuke: Umm...that's unpleasant. I'm sure that's not in the rules (gets threatened with a stick) wait, wait! Put the stick away!

Tanaka: I'll make you into a human kinta!

Tadasuke: Stop talking about my balls!

"SAME"

Harada: Of course, we will be defending the GHC Junior single and the tags in Osaka, this year RATELS are going places.

YO-HEY joins in the conversation

YO-HEY: Hurry up! I want to say something! (Imitates HAYATA) Same!

Everyone looks at HAYATA

HAYATA walks off

Harada: Yes, next!

Tadasuke: Oh, the same!

(Tadasuke walks off)

Harada: Next!

(Realises that he is next and walks off)

YO-HEY (who is now the only one left): Next!

HAYATA TELLS YO-HEY TO ANSWER FOR HIM

At the RATELS box office, HAYATA was asked a question by a reporter which he whispered to YO-HEY to answer for him.

Q: Seiki Yoshioka was the W-1 Cruiserweight Champion, and was with HAYATA in Dove Pro in Hiroshima. I guess you don't want to lose?

(HAYATA whispers something to YO-HEY)

YO-HEY: Hmmm...I'm not interested in losing, because I was doing the same thing in Hiroshima, I was the best leading....Hmmm...sorry. I've been talked down (laugh). Perhaps I don't want to lose, but I think that if you want that, why is your opponent Jiro Ikemen and broken down YO-HEY? I don't want to lose, a wonderful fighting spirit has arisen from the hole in the left ear.

YO-HEY LISTS HIS CHALLENGERS 

Noah GHC went through a short period where ahead of title matches they would recap the last few title defenses of the current champions who were defending their titles. YO-HEY decided to do his own in which he listed his challengers, these included having a fight at the MGM in Las Vegas with Stevie Wonder and Lionel Ritchie, and one match that would take place in the sea with two beautiful mermaid sisters. 

While he might have come away from the mermaid idea, he was still saying he wanted Lionel Ritchie & Stevie Wonder for the RATELS box office. 

YO-HEY BURSTS IN ON HAYATA'S INTERVIEW

HAYATA is well known for saying very little in interviews, but there was one time when he did decide to co-operate. He had just had a singles match and the interviewer asked him how he found the match.

HAYATA was in mid sentence saying about how he felt that he had good momentum, when YO-HEY walked in and started babbling on about them both having a victory that evening. 

HAYATA went back to not talking. 

HAYATA REFUSES TO ANSWER A QUESTION 

(This took place at the GHC Junior Heavyweight signing ceremony when HAYATA challenged Daisuke Harada for the belt)

Q: HAYATA, what do you think about Daisuke Harada?

HAYATA: Nothing in particular

Q: HAYATA, why do you want this belt?

HAYATA:.......

YO-HEY HAS TO CHECK THAT HAYATA HAS GONE

Part of the reason why YO-HEY calls HAYATA "the wife" is because not only do they go everywhere together like a married couple, but also because HAYATA can be strict with him and tell him what to do. 

HAYATA doesn't like to shake hands with people and doesn't let YO-HEY do it either, and so when GurukunMask offered his hand after the title match on the 22nd December, YO-HEY had to check that HAYATA wasn't looking (watch Tadasuke do the same). 

DAISUKE HARADA LOVES ICE-CREAM 

It's a well known fact in Noah that Daisuke Harada loves his ice-cream. Whereas most of the roster bought one from a truck stop, and bought it back on the bus to eat, or (in the case of Quiet Storm) ate it outside the bus and took pictures of Mount Fuji. Takashi Sugiura took delight in photographing Daisuke Harada....

He also wondered when he turned thirty-one, if it meant that he was now too old for Baskin Robbins, but the prize should go to Zak Sabre Junior who took this picture in Hokkaido in 2013 in minus zero temperatures....
