Noah's Kenoh (39) posted on his YouTube channel, "The Kenoh Channel", on the 31st October, and slammed the wrestling world. 

Looking back at the notable shows of each promotion, it was announced at Noah's Korakuen Hall event on the 14th, that WWE superstar, Shinsuke Nakamura will participate in Noah's event at the Nippon Budokan on January 1st next year. His opponent has been selected as former UFC fighter, Ulka Sasaki. 

This will be Nakamura's first appearance on the Ark's mat in two years, since his otherworldly match against Great Muta at the Nippon Budokan event on New Year's Day 2023. Kenoh welcomed the event saying, "He's coming back again. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm sure it's a dream come true for WWE fans". 

On the other hand, he said, "It's an unwelcome event for the Noah wrestlers, because it means that the main event has already been decided. It wouldn't be strange if he didn't make the main event again this tine. Shinsuke Nakamura! You have to make this the main event! After all, (Kota) Ibushi vs (Naomichi) Marufuji was the main event (at Ariake Arena on January 2nd this year, instead of the GHC Heavyweight Championship match)". 

When the conversation turned to the All Japan Pro Wrestling Korakuen Hall event on the 22nd, he began by saying, "Someone's anniversary is coming up..." and then he shouted, "Hey! Suwama!". The raging man was Suwama's rival from last years feud. 

At the same show, in the match to celebrate Suwama's 2oth debut anniversary, Shuji Ishikawa (who left All Japan in January), made a surprise appearance, and they revived the famous duo "The Rampaging Giants" for one night. Kenoh commented, "The man he teamed up with was Shuji Ishikawa, but Ishikawa quit (All Japan) when things got complicated, right? But he's still appearing. You never know what is going to happen in wrestling!" He then sent the message, "Hey, Suwama! Congratulations!"

Kenoh, who keeps up with all the news on women's wrestling, all commented on Marigold's Korakuen show on the 24th. He bought up the topic of the Super Flyweight Championship match between champion Natsumi Showzuki and Hummingbird, which took place that night. During the match, the mysterious masked wrestler, Hummingbird, attempted a hurricanrana, which caused her to hit her head hard on the floor. Regarding this, Kenoh said bluntly, "I think she is in the early stages of her career. Nowadays, it's all about technique, technique, technique. It's no good to try dangerous moves that you can't do. That's a big scolding." He added scathingly, "I think it's the people around you who are making you do it, but you shouldn't do it. You have to beat your opponent to the best of your ability".

In addition, he also spoke about Ice Ribbon, which is in a state of upheaval, and finally he promised, he would take the belt from "that damn YAMATO", who he will challenge for the Open The DreamGate.
