(NOAH) CARD ~ "UP TO EMOTION" (Saturday July 3rd 2021, Yokohama Radiant Hall, Yokohama)

Noah head out of Tokyo and down the coast to bring the show today to Yokohama Radiant Halls. Event starts at 17:30 JST, with a live broadcast on WRESTLEUNIVERSE. You must be a subscriber to view this event. 

MATCH ONE

15 minute time limit

Naomichi Marufuji vs Takashi Sugiura

Naomichi Marufuji and Takashi Sugiura have their last pre match in a fifteen minutes singles match before the title match in Sendai. So far, Sugiura has beaten Marufuji twice in the preliminary match ups, Marufuji only once so far. This is going to be a short but intense fight.  

MATCH TWO

Funky Express (King Tani, Mohammed Yone, Akitoshi Saito & Masao Inoue) vs Yoshiki Inamura, Kinya Okada, Kai Fujimura & Yasutaka Yano

King Tani, riding high, leads his funky friends into a match against three Noah born and Kai Fujimura. Young Yasutaka Yano (who has vowed to grow stronger) tried to slam King Tani last time, with Kinya Okada trading kicks with Akitoshi Saito. However, no one on this team is going to show strength quite like Yoshiki Inamura.  

MATCH THREE

Kongoh (Kenoh & Nioh) vs Momo No Seishun (Atsushi Kotoge & Junta Miyawaki)

With their teammates elsewhere (pre-matches), Kenoh and Nioh take on Atsushi Kotoge and Junta Miyawaki. I feel sorry for Kenoh's opponents as he's like Kiyomiya, sulking. Things may not go well should Kongoh lose this match.

MATCH FOUR

STINGER (HAYATA, Yoshinari Ogawa, Seiki Yoshioka & Susumu) vs Perros Del Mal De Japon (YO-HEY, NOSAWA Rongai, Kotaro Suzuki & Ikuto Hidaka)

Expect a Noah Junior brawl as two teams who hate each other with a vengeance, go to war. They are not only fighting with each other, but an added dimension is Ikuto Hidaka challenging HAYATA for the GHC Junior Heavyweight, with the first pre-match starting tonight. The person to keep your eyes on, however, is Kotaro Suzuki. Suzuki had nothing to say about the humiliation of Ogawa, or the threats against him by NOSAWA, so we may well see soon another shift in the fragile balance of power in the division. 

MATCH FIVE

Masa Kitamiya, Kaito Kiyomiya & Momo No Seishun (Daisuke Harada & Hajime Ohara) vs Kongoh (Katsuhiko Nakajima, Manabu Soya, Haoh & Tadasuke)

This is going to get nasty, especially between Katsuhiko Nakajima and Masa Kitamiya who have chosen new tag partners in an effort to resolve the problems of the tag belts. Everything Nakajima does winds Kitamiya up instantly, and Nakajima knows this. Dragged into the conflict is the moping Kaito Kiyomiya, and Manabu Soya. Soya of course, is Kitamiya's former tag partner. Elsewhere in the match a second pre-match between Momo No Seishun and the Kongoh Juniors takes place with the usual squabble (both verbal and physical) between Daisuke Harada and Tadasuke.
