(NOAH) CARD: Go on to the DEMOLITION STAGE 2021 - Kumamoto Castle Hall Civic Hall (Thursday October 28th)

For the first time in a long time, Noah return to Kumamoto (the south of Japan). They were last here in 2019, just before the pandemic and with things finally easing somewhat in Japan, they have returned. Kumamoto is the hometown of Kongoh's Haoh, and also Go Shiozaki. Noah have not announced as to whether Go Shiozaki will be appearing or not, and if he does it will most likely be in a non wrestling capacity. Junta Miyawaki will be absent due to a knee injury. 

Today's event will start at 18.30 JST, and will be broadcast live on WrestleUniverse. The stream can only be viewed by subscribers and if you have not signed up please do as you get until January 2022 free.

MATCH ONE

Ikuto Hidaka vs Kinya Okada

Ikuto Hidaka (who debuted when Okakin was five years old) takes on the young Showa era wrestler in the opener. 

MATCH TWO

Masa Kitamiya & Kai Fujimura vs Kongoh (Manabu Soya & Aleja)

Masa Kitamiya teams with young Kai Fujimura to take on his old tag partner Manabu Soya, who he was also in Kongoh with. The last time Soya teamed with Aleja, he wasn't too gracious about Aleja getting the win and not him. I wonder what this match will bring should we see the same? 

MATCH THREE

Kaito Kiyomiya & Daiki Inaba vs Funky Express (King Tani & Mohammed Yone)

King Tani and Mohammed Yone face off against probably the most polite team they have ever faced, and who probably aren't going to be enraged by their funkiness or disco dancing. The increasingly dark Kiyomiya says that this is the first time in a long time that he and Inaba have teamed, but will be the issues be between them now that Kiyomiya has made such a change in himself, more than who their opponents are? 

MATCH FOUR

STINGER (HAYATA, Yoshinari Ogawa & Seiki Yoshioka) & Yasutaka Yano vs El Perros Del Mal De Japon (NOSAWA Rongai, Eita, YO-HEY & Kotaro Suzuki)

This is the last pre-match between HAYATA and NOSAWA Rongai before the title match in Fukoka on the 30th October, and that combined with the fact that this match is all Noah Juniors, this is going to be like a chaos grade exploding. Yasutaka Yano, who celebrates his one year in wrestling today, is going to get quite an anniversary celebration. The Satsuma Rebellion of 1877 which burned down part of the castle, is going to be nothing compared to this. 

MATCH FIVE

Kongoh (Katsuhiko Nakajima, Kenoh, Tadasuke, Haoh & Nioh) vs The M's alliance (Naomichi Marufuji & Masato Tanaka) & The Noah Junior Regulars (Daisuke Harada, Atsushi Kotoge & Hajime Ohara)

If somehow the venue has survived the last match, we get another Noah Junior dominated match as Kongoh go to war, Kenoh against his mortal enemy Naomichi Marufuji, Masato Tanaka (who he has sworn revenge on many times), Daisuke Harada (who has a relationship with he describes as "snake and scorpion"), Atsushi Kotoge (who left Kongoh) and Hajime Ohara (his former partner). The Kongoh Juniors and the Noah Junior Regulars are going to go to war after a declaration by Hajime Ohara, that "Tadasuke said something like "Kongoh Juniors will enter the conflict", but today we played you at your own game. Let's go to the top of the Noah Juniors before the Kongoh Juniors." This match will be entertaining, and it should be remembered that within teams, Naomichi Marufuji and Daisuke Harada do not often get along. Usually because Marufuji winds Harada up.

Katsuhiko Nakajima and Masato Tanaka will have the last pre-match before Fukuoka on the 30th, so far Tanaka has one won and the other was inconclusive, can Nakajima even the score tonight? 

MATCH SIX

GHC NATIONAL TITLE MATCH

Takashi Sugiura vs Masaaki Mochizuki

Takashi Sugiura makes his third defense of the GHC National against Masaaki Mochizuki. This is will be their first singles match, and Mochizuki's first challenge for a single title in Noah (he held the GHC Heavyweight Tag with Naomichi Marufuji previously).
