Noah's "Funky Afro Man", Mohammed Yone (44) went wild at his 25th anniversary debut event (18th October, Korakuen Hall). 

He made his debut against Alexander Otsuka (49) of the same class on August 18th 1995 at the Fujiwara Group's Minamiashigara event, and joined Noah through BattlArts. Many related wrestlers participated in the event, and Yone wrestled two matches. 

To start, "The Love Warriors" which was resurrected with Otsuka, collided with Akitoshi Saito and Masao Inoue (50) of the Anti Wrestlers Association. With teamwork unique to the tag, in the final stage Inoue was taken down by the lariat, but when Yone went for the pin it was reversed and Inoue took the 3 counts. There was a strange atmosphere in the venue due to the defeat by the unexpected pin, but he managed to recover and made an vow to reunite with Otsuka. 

In the main, Yone tagged with Daisuke Ikeda (52) and Ikuto Hidaka (48) against Naomichi Marufuji (41), Yuki Ishikawa (52) and Junji Tanaka (49). Other than Marufuji, this was a former BattlArts reunion match which Ishikawa started with joint techniques. After this, the six of them fought like the fierce fights of BattlArts with the spectators screaming as Ishikawa and Ikeda hit each other bare knuckle. In the end, Yone pinned Tanaka with the Kiniku Meat Buster.

Yone, celebrating the commemorative match said to the audience who applauded, "I am glad that many people have been able to come today in this situation." He thanked the audience and added, "I think that pro wrestling is the best entertainment, and I am proud to have done it for 25 years".
