25th April 2020
Pro Wrestling DX

Within the promotion is the most "technical", has "power", is good on the "mic" or is "good looking?"
Starting today, a special series called "Wrestlers determined by Wrestlers" will show the number one of each division (there will be 10) by "In-Wrestler evaluation" from their perspective.

This is the second edition of Noah's, the "Most Exciting".

We conducted interviews with 24 wrestlers currently competing in Noah (contracted roster members ad freelancers who have been in or with Noah for more than three years).

Q: Please tell us which wrestlers you think are "exciting" and why

1st place: YO-HEY (9 votes out of 24)

Comments of wrestlers who voted for YO-HEY

Daisuke Harada: He brings an atmosphere of "sunshine" which brightens just by going out. I always feel that the customers are not as bright next to me.
TADASUKE: He is good at influencing the customers, who smile just by clapping. I think he has a certain originality that attracts people. I steal from it because we are on the same team.
Mohammed Yone: It's a natural thing which I know myself, it is exciting just to be going up to the ring as yourself. I think its good, although I'm envious.
Kotaro Suzuki: Even though it was an empty arena, he was exciting as usual. Even though he is an enemy I thought, "this is heartbreaking for him."
Go Shiozaki: He has a natural presece, which makes it easy for customers.
Junta Miyawaki: His natural brightness makes him brighter. I think that people who are so bright are strong.
Nio: Although its not my style, I feel it when fighting
Kaito Kiyomiya: I think he is the most aware of the excitement of the customers
HAYATA:...

Nine wrestlers evaluated YO-HEY as being "the most entertaining" and he comes in first place. On entry, he always goes to the corner and sets up a "photogenic time", and often responds to the call of the audience when the match begins, often being prankful, shouting and talking of local specialities, dancing and making people laugh at his behavior. He never forgets to appeal to the audience, even after the match. From the entrance to the exit, he is always aware of communication with the audience, and creates a situation where it is easy for the audience to be "easy to vocalize". It is characteristic of him to use gags and quips to provide elements for Kansai people. It is not uncommon for the old spectator who has frowned at his appearance, to be cheering with a smile at the end of the match. As many of the wrestlers say, he has a "natural brightness" with a irresistible charm that is the root of his being "the most exciting".

2nd place: Mohammed Yone (4 votes out of 24)

Comments of wrestlers who voted for Mohammed Yone

Hajime Ohara: Not only with words, but his appearance itself is "exciting". It's easy to be excited, even if you are watching for the first time, because a big guy with an afro has just appeared. The atmosphere brightens just by his coming out.
Akitoshi Saito: Even for customers who don't see much of wrestling as they live in rural areas, he is good at creating an atmosphere which is easy to get into.
Shuhei Taniguchi: From admission, he creates a sense of unity throughout the venue
Naomichi Marufuji: He is good at creating excitement anywhere, whether it is a big or small venue or whether it is a waiting room or a bar. Mohammed Yone is Mohammed Yone.

The second place, with four votes, is Mohammed Yone, Noah's original "festival man". With his afro and high pitched voice, he would make the customers call by saying "lets go customers", while running round the venue and hitting a lariat. With an indistinguishable and bright personality, he has been heating up the Ark's mat since the company was formed.

Previously he had a South American flare, but in recent years he has become more American in taste with a flashy gown, flashing sunglasses and a "Saturday Night Fever" pose. At venues with a mirror ball, he enters in the dark.

3rd place: Tadasuke (3 votes out of 24)

Comments of wrestlers who voted for Tadasuke

YO-HEY: "Oh!!" unites everyone at every venue. Skilled at making funny faces these days, and raising the excitement while drinking.
Takashi Sugiura: I think he often fuels the customers
Minoru Tanaka: He is good at excitement but recently it's strange, but the tension has permeated (rough)

Three people voted Tadasuke into third place.
In the past one to two years, he has been recognized to be rapidly "raising excitement". To each side of the ring he says "O!" with the Jumbo Tsuruta chorus, the grunting with the horns of Antonio Boar Hunting*. He claps his hands with "Sha! Sha! Sha!" or surprises his opponents with Hulk Hogan's "YOU!" The source material may be "parodied", but it is to Tadasuke's own style.

As a Noah junior unit "RATELS", YO-HEY has ranked first and Tadasuke third. The fact that RATELS matches often have a lot of excitement, not only in terms of offensive and defensive content, but also due to the fact that the two wrestlers are "good at excitement" can be a major factor.

The next Noah edition will deal with "Power".
