Noah's rebel group Kongoh, led by Noah's "Fist king", Kenoh (34), held their produce at ShinKiba 1st ring in Shinkiba, Tokyo on the 14th December, attracting over 350 people with advance tickets sold out.

Kenoh, who wrestled two matches, was active in the main event. The number of the members of Kongoh has since increased to five, and he has pledged a further leap forward for 2020, the 20th year of Noah.

The second match came after Kenoh and Masa Kitamiya (31), had overcome the Anti Wrestlers Alliance (Akitoshi Saito and Masao Inoue), and appeared in the main event with Yoshiki Inamura (27). They clashed with "Noah's strongest champion trio" of Kaito Kiyomiya (23), the GHC Heavyweight Champion, who has won a "Pro Wrestling Grand Prix" award as established by Tokyo Sports, for the second year running, Takashi Sugiura (49), the first GHC National Champion, and Go Shiozaki (37), the GHC Heavyweight Tag champion. At the end Inamura fell to Takashi Sugiura's Olympic Qualifying Slam, but the first independent produce had made a card that was too wonderful.

Although the initial activities at the beginning of spring this year were never easy, it has been proved that "continuation is power".
Kiyomiya, who Kenoh has deemed a rival, achieved his sixth defence, and won the Fighting Spirit award. The GHC match between Kenoh and Kiyomiya, which was the main event at the Sumo Hall Tournament for the first time in the newborn Noah, was nominated for best bout. Of particular note is Inamura, whose professional career is only one year and four months, who won two votes in the "Best Rookie" award category. Twenty-two year old Junta Miyawaki also got one vote.
Although Kiyomiya won the Fighting Spirit award last year over the Best Newcomer, for Noah this was the best news after a long era of "rookie absence".

In the semi, Niō (Hi69) and Haō (Yuki Sato, 2AW), also decided to join. Takashi Sugiura has asked Kongoh to participate in the final event of the year, the Sugiura Army produce (27th December, Korakuen Hall) saying "I will prepare for you a big match. Come out in one that will almost the same as the main".

"How has it become five people? Well, we will take a step from the 350 people who came to ShinKiba, and then to Korakuen, and then to that place (assumed to be the Nippon Budokan), Kongoh will bring Noah a diamond like shine", Kenoh said. "All you assholes, look! Today is a new start for Kongoh!"

In Noah's 20th year, the rebel groups will fly to Noah's main unit.
