(NOAH) CARD ~ UP TO EMOTION 2021 (Sunday July 18th, Fujisan Messe)

Start time: 17:00 JST

Today's event will not be live, but will be broadcast on Wednesday 21st July on WrestleUniverse. You must be subscriber to view.  

MATCH ONE

Mohammed Yone & Yasutaka Yano

MATCH TWO

Naomichi Marufuji & Junta Miyawaki vs Akitoshi Saito & Kai Fujimura 

A rare teaming between Naomichi Marufuji and Junta Miyawaki (who is also an "M"), neither of whom often team with juniors or seniors. Marufuji said he will be dealing with Saito who "has become funky", while keeping an eye on both his young partner and young opponent. Miyawaki and Fujimura both say they are excited although nervous.

MATCH THREE

Daisuke Harada, Hajime Ohara & Atsushi Kotoge vs Perros De Mal Del Japon (YO-HEY, Ikuto Hidaka & NOSAWA Rongai)

With Yuya Susumu not on the card today, the junior tag champions are not facing their challengers, however with HAYATA (who Hidaka is challenging for the GHC Junior) and Seiki Yoshioka (who is one half challenging for the tag belts) elsewhere on the card, this match may not be a simple six man tag as this is the Noah Juniors, and we all know what more than two people in a ring means. 

MATCH FOUR

Takashi Sugiura vs King Tani

King Tani, the sad story of a man who has to do his own laundry and his own cooking and "has no woman" at home, faces Takashi Sugiura who is not impressed with the funky turn that Tani has taken, and also says he hates disco. 

MATCH FIVE

STINGER (HAYATA, Yoshinari Ogawa & Seiki Yoshioka) vs Kongoh Juniors (Haoh, Nioh & Tadasuke)

I would say that what happens here is going to depend on whether there was any interference before during or after the Noah Junior six man tag earlier in the evening. But this is the Noah Juniors and that rule does not apply. Anything can happen regardless of whether anything happened or not, especially as NOSAWA is not doing anything. 

MATCH SIX

Masa Kitamiya, Kaito Kiyomiya & Kinya Okada vs Kongoh (Kenoh, Katsuhiko Nakajima & Manabu Soya) 

Nakajima and Soya face Kitamiya and Kiyomiya (who celebrated his 25th birthday on Saturday) in a pre-match for the much contested heavyweight tag belts. Okada and Kenoh are caught in the crossfire between their partners, with Kiyomiya probably having Kenoh gunning for him as well as Soya and Nakajima, although Kenoh seems to be growing distant from Kongoh recently. Watch out for an Okada vs Kenoh kick war, and more sparks flying between the bitter Masa Kitamiya and the demonic Katsuhiko Nakajima.
