23rd November 2019.
In order to make the 3rd December Korakuen event more enjoyable, we will introduce the highlights based on the history of Pro-wrestling Noah, and the history of the wrestlers. I have therefore picked up four matches that I want to pay particular attention to, and among them is the main event of Katsuhiko Nakajima vs Go Shiozaki.
Whether you know their history or not, let us all witness the moment when their long history meets at Korakuen Hall!
THE FOUR FEATURED MATCHES
DRAGON BANE VS EL HIJO DE CANIS LUPUS
Bane from a Lucha family, has natural talent to perform airborne spring attacks. Canis Lupis is an equally capable luchadore.
There will be a high level of lucha to enjoy in this match.
HAYATA vs CHRIS RIDGEWAY
On the 9th November, Chris, who made his challenge in Osaka, won consecutive wins until HAYATA took the pin on the 16th November at Korakuen. In the big fight after the match, the usually calm HAYATA, erupted in anger.
Where will the belt go?
TAKASHI SUGIURA, KAZUYUKI FUJITA & HIDEKI SUZUKI vs KENOH, MASA KITAMIYA & YOSHIKI INAMURA
This will be the first match between The Sugiura Army and Kongoh with Fujita and Suzuki. What will this rare match-up lead to in the future?
SPECIAL FEATURE
The two sons who have inherited the souls of Kensuke Sasaki and Kenta Kobashi
Katsuhiko Nakajima vs Go Shiozaki
This is the Noah show at the Tokyo Dome on July 18th 2005, when their two teachers, Kensuke Sasaki and Kenta Kobashi, fought a battle that remains in the history of pro-wrestling. The next day, Go Shiozaki and Katsuhiko Nakajima would meet.
In the match footage, Katsuhiko Nakajima, who was an innocent 17 year old, was the second in the blue corner, and opposite him in the red corner, was 23 year old Go Shiozaki. This was the first match between their teachers, to put it simply, it was a head on clash between two power wrestlers which did not disappoint, with a chop battle of over 200 shots which satisfied the fans in the packed Tokyo Dome. This legendary match once again proved the question, "What is a professional wrestler?"
What kind of scenery did the two see at ringside of this fight?
What do you think?
The connection between the two will come together four months later.
November 5th 2005, Budokan
A match between Kensuke Sasaki & Katsuhiko Nakajima vs Kenta Kobashi & Go Shiozaki was made, and the first showdown between Shiozaki and Nakajima was made here.
Nakajima and Shiozaki boldly left their mark on the big stage at the venue where Kensuke and Kobashi fought once again. Although Nakajima was smaller in physique, he showed a brilliant sense of fighting spirit and Kensuke Sasaki's fearlessness, and with it he carved his name into the heart of the Budokan fans.
Shiozaki also fought with bare emotions, and even though he was young, he showed his heavyweight physique, and his teachers strong arms, which roused the venue. Although in the end it was Shiozaki who fell to Kensuke's lariat, the fans at the venue where excited about the future of the two amazing trainees, Katsuhiko Nakajima and Go Shiozaki.
Katsuhiko Nakajima made his debut on January 5th 2004, at the age of fifteen years and nine months, which made him the youngest debut among male wrestlers.
As Kensuke Sasaki's "son" (trainee), he belonged to the Kensuke Office, and gained much match experience in various promotions. Around 2007, he mainly participated in All Japan, but in 2008 he moved his main fight to Noah.
Later, Kensuke Office changed the name to "Diamond Ring", which Nakajima also belonged to. However, with the retirement of Kensuke Saskai in 2014, he became a freelancer. Since January 1st 2016, he joined Noah and this has been his main battlefield for a long time.
On the other side, Go Shiozaki was expected to be the heavyweight hope immediately after his Noah debut on July 24th 2004. As Kenta Kobashi's beloved pupil, he climbed the stairs steadily to being an ace with his arms as a weapon. However, after leaving Noah at the end of 2012, he became a freelancer and transferred to All Japan. After that he came to a Noah show at Korakuen in 2015, and appealed directly to fight. Although he was a freelancer for a while, he said "I want to be Noah's strength", and in 2016 he recaptured the GHC Heavyweight from Takashi Sugiura (who was then part of the Suzuki Army) and rejoined Noah.
After many twists and turns, the two have reunited in Noah's ark. The two people who once faced each other as the beloved apprentice of rivals, now have Noah love as they tag as AXIZ. Standing opposite from each other from the time of their debut when two people with such high hopes at the opening of their lives in wrestling face each other, what kind of intersection will the thread that connects them reveal, and what magnificent drama will be shown?
On December 3rd 2019, the showdown between Katsuhiko Nakajima and Go Shiozaki is not only just a direct AXIZ showdown and 15 years of a professional wrestling life, but a special reunion where it can be said that the shadows of their predecessors of Kensuke Sasaki and Kenta Kobashi can be projected. The drama, so unique to this match which is not a championship one, but a 15th anniversary debut, can only be seen here.
The two people who became witnessed to history next to their teachers on that day, will engrave a new history into the Noah mat.
