Pro Wrestling Noah's rebel unit, "Kongoh", held "DIAMOND2" at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo on the 24th. 

In the main event, "Kongoh" leader Kenoh competed with unit member, Haoh. In the breathtaking offense and defense, Kenoh defeated Haoh using a Dragon Suplex, and showed high dignity. 

After the match, he bowed to President Hiroyuki Suzuki of the advertising agency, "LIDET ENTERTAINMENT", which had been Noah's parent company since last year, who was watching the event. Although Noah has been a part of CYBERAGENT since early this year, Kenoh said "but to be honest, it is you Hiroyuki Suzuki, who bought Pro Wrestling Noah to this point. Thank you very much". As he repeatedly thanked the former owner who saved Noah during the difficult times, Suzuki also stood and bowed to Kenoh in the ring. 

However, except for the main event which was a match between unit members in the "Kongoh Produce", which is the second following December last year, all the matches were singles in which Masa Kitamiya was the only one to win when he defeated Daiki Inaba. Backstage, Kenoh looked to the future saying, "A loss is a loss. It can't end like this."

Kenoh will challenge Katsuhiko Nakajima or the GHC National Championship on the 4th August at Korakuen Hall on the 20th anniversary of the promotions first show. Swearing to take the belt he said, "We are a team that rises in adversity. I will make it happen."
