Card
Part fallout show and part second part of DEMOLITION STAGE IN FUKUOKA, tonight we see both the GHC Junior and the GHC Heavyweight tag defended. Also, there are three titles on the line that haven't been challenged for. Elsewhere, Super Crazy returns to Noah and teams with an old enemy, the seniors continue to tease their alliance as they take on a new unit intent on making this their era, Shuji Kondo begins his mentorship of Junta Miyawaki and Kenoh and Jake Lee meet for the first time since the GHC Heavyweight title match. 

MATCH ONE
Eita vs Yu Owada

It may seem odd to put Eita in the opener, but I have a feeling that we will see him in the main event, no matter who wins. 

MATCH TWO
REAL (Saxon Huxley & Shuhei Taniguchi) vs Stallion Rogers & Taishi Ozawa

Taishi Ozawa has the height but not the experience to go up against REAL, but it may do him good to join. In any case, Hideki Suzuki is not here tonight to hold the reigns, so the cage doors have opened and the monsters have escaped. 

MATCH THREE
Ninja Mack, Alejandro, X-Treme Tiger & TERRY YAKI vs Atsushi Kotoge, Hi69, Hajime Ohara & Kai Fujimura

Ninja Mack, Alejandro and TERRY YAKI seem to have formed a unit. The last time we saw X-Treme Tiger he tried to get a "TERRY YAKI" chant going, but unfortunately he was on the opposite team and Atsushi Kotoge asked him what he was doing...tonight, he is on the right team, so I wonder if a new member will be added. 

MATCH FOUR
El Hijo Del Dr Wagner Jnr vs LJ Cleary

As one fan said, with or without the belt, "Wag-chan" is still beloved by Noah fans. 

MATCH FIVE
Yoshinari Ogawa & Super Crazy vs Shuji Kondo & Junta Miyawaki

After begging him to take him under his wing and help him get out of the pitiful situation he finds himself in, Junta Miyawaki teams with Shuji Kondo. Their opponents are Yoshinari Ogawa, who no doubt will make Miyawaki pay for not coming to him, and Super Crazy, who was a member of Perros Del Mal De Japon, the sworn enemies of STINGER. 

MATCH SIX
Naomichi Marufuji, Takashi Sugiura & Go Shiozaki vs Masa Kitamiya, Manabu Soya & Daiki Inaba

The three seniors, Naomichi Marufuji, Takashi Sugiura and Go Shiozaki, have been teaming up a little recently and there have been some hints of them forming a unit. In the past when Marufuji and Shiozaki have teamed, it has resulted in a chop competition, and a squabble. However, tonight, they take on a new unit who have said they will be creating their era.  

MATCH SEVEN
Good Looking Guys (Jake Lee, YO-HEY & Tadasuke) vs Kenoh & Los Golpeadores (Alpha Wolf & Dragon Bane)

This is one long grudge match; Jake Lee lost the GHC Heavyweight to Kenoh and YO-HEY and Tadasuke failed in their attempt to take the GHC Junior Tag Championship from the Lucha brothers (aka Alpha Wolf & Dragon Bane). 

MATCH EIGHT
GHC Heavyweight Tag Championship
REAL (Jack Morris & Anthony Green) vs Kaito Kiyomiya & Ryohei Oiwa

Jack Morris enters the match as Noah's first European double champion being both the GHC National and GHC Heavyweight Tag Champion. Their young, enthusiastic (and incredibly polite) challengers Kaito Kiyomiya and Ryohei Oiwa are at the same time both united and rivals, with Oiwa saying that he will be the one to get the pin and win the titles, not Kiyomiya. I also get the feeling that Kaito Kiyomiya may challenge for the GHC National should they be successful in their title challenge. 

MATCH NINE
GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship
HAYATA vs Daga

Daga has spent most of the pre matches cheating and using tactics to win such as making out that HAYATA hit him with a chair, putting his feet on the ropes etc. Daga says this makes him smart, but HAYATA says he is petty. On the prowl, Daga says that he is the Lion and this Lion is hungry. Their last match ended with a double pin, but a title cannot change hands through any of Daga's tricks that he has shown so far, so he will have to go above and beyond to defeat HAYATA, who is called the "absolute champion". Fans have a feeling that whoever wins, Daga or HAYATA, Eita will probably challenge...which will delay once again HAYATA'S plans of defending abroad (should he win).
