(NOAH) August 2022 Schedule

DEPARTURE 2022*

Friday, August 5th

Start time: 18:30 JST

Venue: Korakuen Hall

Broadcast: WrestleUniverse (Live)

*DEPARTURE celebrates Noah's birthday, which means that this year, Noah will turn twenty two. Each year Noah reaches this point is a miracle given the turbulent history of the promotion. Mitsuharu Misawa gave Noah's first ever show this name as a way of sticking up two fingers to All Japan as he had walked out with three of The Four Pillars, half of the roster, and most of their young talent, referees, office staff and eventually, Noah would even take All Japan's TV spot.

Notes about broadcasts

- WrestleUniverse will have English commentary for all nights. 

Unless you are living in Japan or have a VPN you know is compatible with ABEMA, please do not subscribe to the service. For fans living outside of Japan, a subscription to WrestleUniverse would be better as they show more Noah shows than ABEMA, and usually the events get uploaded very quickly. ABEMA broadcasts are only in Japanese, you can only watch them live, and this is the only Noah they show. They do not broadcast old shows as these belong to Samurai TV.

Sunday, August 7th: HAYATA (vs Chris Ridgeway) - WrestleCarnival (Nottingham). Event will be streamed on WrestleUniverse at a later date. Note, I am unsure as to whether Progress will also be broadcast.

Sunday, August 14th: HAYATA - Progress Wrestling (Newcastle)
