The Green Guide to the Kongoh Produce "Diamond" (14th December 2019, ShinKiba 1st Ring)

Kenoh was not pleased with the poster at first, claiming that RATELS had a better one and that LIDET were trying to make Kongoh look like fools. However, on looking closer at the poster Kenoh saw that it was actually Noah's long term sponsors, THE LEAVE, who had been behind it, and was forced to apologize to them.

Kongoh (Kenoh, Masa Kitamiya and Yoshiki Inamura) will be holding their first produce event on 14th December 2019 at ShinKiba 1st ring.
BUT unlike the other Noah produce shows (and this is probably the first one ever to have some kind of deal written into it), Kongoh's come with a stipulation; if they don't sell out Shinkiba First Ring, then Kongoh split up, and Kenoh leaves the company. If however Kenoh does fill out the venue, then they will book The Budokan. Kenoh reacted in fury telling LIDET that he "super ultra hated them", he would fill out the venue and then LIDET should book "that place".
Fortunately, it never came to Kenoh having to leave Noah and therefore Kongoh disbanding, as tickets were sold out by the 18th November 2019. Kenoh called it "power harassment" by LIDET, while simultaneously telling Naomichi Marufuji who sarcastically said he wanted to attend as he wanted to hear Kenoh's music live (PETA from The Garlic Boys, who did Kenoh's theme, will be performing it for Kenoh's entry), that he should have bought a ticket.

ABOUT

Mitsuharu Misawa started the tradition in the early 2000s by letting KENTA & Naomichi Marufuji do their own produce shows. This tradition has continued beyond the Misawa era with produce shows done by "Super Violent Army" and RATELS. These smaller shows are booked and planned by the wrestlers themselves, they plan everything from who is going to be on the card to how the matches will finish. It is a mark of Noah finally being able to get back on their feet that after the dark years, these things can come round again.
