"SHOWDOWN" ~ Takashi Sugiura 20th anniversary match: The Sugiura Army vs Kongoh (7 vs 7 elimination match)
The Sugiura Army (Takashi Sugiura, Kazushi Sakuraba, Kendo Kashin, NOSAWA Rongai, Kaz Hayashi, Daisuke Nakamura* & Kazunari Marukami) vs Kongoh (Kenoh, Katsuhiko Nakajima, Masa Kitamiya, Manabu Soya, Tadasuke, Haoh and Nioh)

*Daisuke Nakamura is an MMA fighter
*This will be Go Shiozaki and Kazuyuki Fujita's first match since the infamous thirty minute stare down at Korakuen on the 8th March.  


Kazunari Marukami was originally billed as a mystery member, but NOSAWA Rongai chose to reveal him at the Kongoh produce on the 26th December after Kongoh's Katsuhiko Nakajima and Masa Kitamiya defeated Yoshiki Inamura and Kinya Okada. 
There is history between Katsuhiko Nakajima, Masa Kitamiya and Kazunari Marukami in Diamond Ring\Kensuke Office, and Kazunari Marukami and Noah. The most strong history, however, is with Nakajima. The two have never had a singles match (unlike Marukami and Kitamiya, in which Kitamiya lost), but rather they had a series of tag matches against each other in which Marukami only ever won once. Marukami competed sporadically in Noah between 2006 and 2010 (he had eight matches), which included a GHC Heavyweight tag title challenge, and single matches with both Naomichi Marufuji and Mitsuharu Misawa. This is his return to wrestling following a knee injury. 

"Sugiura Army Entertainment & Year-End Party LIVE"
After the event, The Sugiura Army will hold an aftershow party which will mainly be them getting drunk and answering fan questions. This will be the first time in Noah's 20 year history that they have ever done anything like this. Kuniko Yamada will be the MC, there will also be a goods lottery which will include the "SAKU" belts that Takashi Sugiura and Kazushi Sakuraba wear. Attending unit members are expected to be Takashi Sugiura, Kazushi Sakuraba, Kendo Kashin, Kazuyuki Fujita, and NOSAWA Rongai, although this may change due to injury.

The event will be broadcast live, but it will be pay-per-view through ABEMA only, which means that if you are outside of Japan, unless you are sure that your VPN works and you want to pay for it, you are not going to see it. Hopefully it should be put up on WRESTLEUNIVERSE eventually (which is a subscription service). 

OTHER
~ Tokyo Sports ran a fantastical story about Kendo Kashin seeing someone, who looked vaguely familiar, walking their dog on his property (he owns a large area of ground next to his house), when he went to investigate he found a pile of dog feces and a dirty tissue which he said, "someone had wiped their butt with", left behind. While cleaning it up he said he noticed someone watching him from a car, and what looked like a Shiba Inu in the front seat. He has since put up notices around his property asking people not to defecate there, and to clean up after their dogs. The implication is that it was Takashi Sugiura.

~ Takashi Sugiura made his debut on December 23rd 2000
