Noah's "N-1 VICTORY" semi finals match, was held at Korakuen Hall, Tokyo on the 9th.
In Block A, the 49 year old ironman Takashi Sugiura defeated Go Shiozaki (37), completing the entire schedule in the lead with wins in all four matches.
In Block B, Kenoh (34) won the first place with six points after winning with a fierce kick to Katsuhiko Nakajima (31), and awarded first place with six points. The winning match at the Edion Arena Osaka 1st Stadium, will be Sugiura vs Kenoh. The winner will challenge the GHC Heavyweight Champion, Kaito Kiyomiya (23) at Sumo Hall on November 2nd. The final chapter of the league that will determine who is the strongest in the newborn Noah, will finally be reached.
In the sixth match, Kenoh and Nakajima kicked each other straight, right from the start, after five minutes, there was a high kick to the face. The strike battle continued with Kenoh kicking Nakajima's chest sharply, and Nakajima returning the heavy kicks with an eerie smile.
After ten minutes, it seemed that Nakajima had triumphed with a vertical spike from a back drop.
However, Kenoh returned to the match with diving foot stamps, and withstood three consecutive kick fighting hits, and a kick to the back of the head. The dull sound of a "thud" echoed through the hall.
After fifteen minutes and with a right kick to the face, Nakajima lost consciousness in an instant, and the referee immediately stopped the match.
"I am waiting for the results, but luck will surely lead me to the victory," and without immersing himself in the aftermath of victory he continued, "it is Kenoh, here, who will make Noah major again".
In the semi main, the DragonGate Ironman, Masaaki Mochizuki (49), who was close to Kenoh at 4 points, was defeated by Shuhei Taniguchi (42), who has three points. It was then that Kenoh's advancement to the finals was confirmed.
In the main event, Sugiura and Shiozaki collided.
From the beginning, Shiozaki chopped Sugiura's chest, he slashed it and shed the blood of King Shame. Still, Sugiura, who for the best part endured with toughness and stamina, got the counterattack after 13 minutes, and Shiozaki was thrown out of the ring from the apron. During the fight, the deadly front neck-lock was returned by the Go Flasher, but after 20 minutes with knee kicks and elbows to the face, Sugiura took 3 counts in the Olympic Qualifying rounds and advanced to the final match.
After the match, Kenoh said "You have not won yet. Aside from being a company dog, you have a strong presence and track record in Noah. Noah cannot go ahead until you are surpassed. Osaka is not just a match against you, it is also a match with Keiji Mutoh, Jun Akiyama, Kazuhashi Sakuraba and Kazuyuki Fujita."
He promised that the championship match would not lose to the legends who were participating in Osaka.
Sugiura responded with, "All wins? It is not over yet. Winning at the finals is when you have won it all, but I can stop the star power from oozing out before the smell of an old man". He will deny Kenoh the victory, and win the championship and the title of Noah's strongest.
In addition, it was announced that there will be two Korakuen's on January 4th and 5th, which will be the first events of 2020 (6.30pm on the 4th, and 11.30am on the 5th).
