(NOAH) CARD: SUNNY VOYAGE 2023 (Aomori Hachinohe Yutori 1st floor multi-purpose large hall, Monday March 27th)

Tonight is the last night of the four day Tohoku tour. The action ramped up last night in Mutsu when STINGER split and later HAYATA refused to tag with Yoshinari Ogawa and demanded a card change, YO-HEY and Tadasuke of GLG (Good Looking Guys) challenged for the Junior Tag belts, AMAKUSA retained the GHC Junior Heavyweight and was challenged by HAYATA. In the heavyweight division, Jack Morris defeated El Hijo Del Dr Wagner Jnr, and Shuhei Taniguchi continued his reign of mystifying his seniors and using Takashi Sugiura as a weapon. There are more pre matches on the card tonight, so the tour is no doubt going to end in a cliffhanger before Noah's next event on April 8th in Osaka. 

Yes Osaka. 

You know things are going to get wild there. 

Doors will open at 17:45, with the bell sounding at 18:30. Jake Lee (who fans say has fit so well into Noah in such a short period of time) will be signing autographs. The event will be broadcast on WrestleUniverse at a later date. 

MATCH ONE

Mohammed Yone vs Taishi Ozawa

There isn't too much in size and not too much in weight between these two, what separates them is the vast gulf of experience. 

MATCH TWO

Masa Kitamiya, Daiki Inaba & Kinya Okada vs Takashi Sugiura, Shuhei Taniguchi & Akitoshi Saito

The long suffering Takashi Sugiura once again teams with Shuhei Taniguchi (and Taniguchi's former Funky Express teammate, Akitoshi Saito) to take on Masa Kitamiya and Daiki Inaba in the final night of the Tohoku tour. Taniguchi has debuted a tandem move (I use that term loosely as it took Sugiura off guard), which the Japanese wrestling media are calling, "The Sugi Bomb". Taniguchi is jubilant by getting the wins, although I think Sugiura is more of the mind that it should be achieved without using him.

MATCH THREE

AMAKUSA & The Noah Junior Regulars (Atsushi Kotoge, Seiki Yoshioka & Alejandro) vs Ninja Mac, Lanzelot, Super Crazy & Xtreme Tiger

Time to say goodbye to Tohoku in a wild Noah Junior way. While these two teams are not going to go to war before the bell rings, nonetheless, it is a chance to compete with each other and not be outdone, especially for AMAKUSA and Lanzelot. 

MATCH FOUR

Saxon Huxley vs Yoshiki Inamura

The Tohoku region has seen four nights of hoss fights; the first ended in a count out, I can imagine this one ending the same way. If the building doesn't fall down first. 

MATCH FIVE

El Hijo Del Dr Wagner Jnr, Yoshinari Ogawa vs Kaito Kiyomiya & HAYATA

After falling out with Yoshinari Ogawa yesterday, HAYATA utterly refused to team with him and demanded that Noah change the card. El Hijo Del Dr Wagner Jnr and Kaito Kiyomiya have no issues with each other (and not really any reason to be in the ring together), so the focus here will be on HAYATA and Ogawa. Will we see a reconciliation, or will the divide worsen?

MATCH SIX

Naomichi Marufuji vs Yasutaka Yano

When Naomichi Marufuji has matches like this with the young Noah Born, it is normally because he is assessing them. Yasutaka Yano shed his all blue yesterday and came out new gear. Noah fans are of the opinion this is because he is ready to go to the next level. His seniors will be the judge of that. 

MATCH SEVEN

Captains Fall

Good Looking Guys (Jake Lee, Jack Morris, Anthony Green, YO-HEY & Tadasuke) vs Kongoh (Kenoh, Katsuhiko Nakajima, Manabu Soya, Hajime Ohara & Hi69)

Kenoh demanded this match and appointed local boy, HI69 as the Kongoh captain. Good Looking Guys (GLG) will announce theirs on the day. The rules are that if the captain is pinned, then that team loses and their opponents win. Everyone else when they are pinned leaves the match via elimination. I can see this being all out war.
