(NOAH) WEEKLY NEWSLETTER VOL.11 ~ 23rd NOVEMBER 2018
GAIJINARY: A PURO PRIMER
I am hoping to write a few books on Noah\Puro covering various subjects. This first book will be a 1000 entry dictionary explaining some terms that I hope will clear up things for the foreign fan with explanations for terms such as "Junior" or "Yankee".
I am going to try and steer away from being too technical by saying how "Emerald Flowsion" got its name etc, although this may well form the basis for another book.
If there are any terms you can think of which you would like included, please DM me.
NEW NOAH MERCHANDISE
Noah have bought out a couple of new products; Kaito Kiyomiya has gone for an ocean motif, which is apt considering his name contains the Kanji for sea (海) and the whole nautical thing surrounding The Ark. The other one is by CONVICT and is a Kenoh shirt. At the moment the new products can only be bought at the venue, but they will become available for mail order soon.
In the meantime, Noah have bought out some badges, (which unsurprisingly, the HAYATA one is sold out).
Up to date news including links to separate events, one long chronology, gifs, images, post match promos and results can all be found here for Global League 2018.
Noah in a nutshell ~ Kaito Kiyomiya and Naomichi Marufuji will face each other at the finals for Global League 2018, The Aggression and Special 4 have both split up.
GHC BELT NEWS

Kotaro Suzuki will defend the GHC Junior Heavyweight title against TADASUKE on the 25th November.
The GHC Heavyweight Tag titles have not had a challenger as of yet, and probably won't until after Global League wraps up. Current prospective challengers are The Hooligans (whose challenge has been dismissed) and 50 Funky Powers.
The GHC Junior Tag Championship will be challenged for by Koji Kanemoto and Hiroshi Yamato on the 25th November at Korakuen Hall. Seiya Morohashi has also challenged for them, his partner at this time is as yet unknown, but it is thought it will either be TAMURA or Kouki Iwasaki. The Backbreakers also challenged on the 23rd November in Yokohama.
TOUR TIDBITS
~ He might have got to the finals of Global League 2018, but Kaiyo Kiyomiya is a nice boy who talked about the Tsusaba socks (socks which help the muscles in the feet when exercises, and a craze of which has swept Noah)he wore at the gym and then went to bed at 12.30pm.
~ Naomichi Marufuji and Hi69 had a day off in Okinawa after appearing in Dragon Pro Wrestling, they did some sightseeing and then there was a barbecue in the evening.
