The press conference for DDT'S Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan event on the 28th, was held in Tokyo on the 24th, where Noah's Kenoh (39), who will be facing the "Stupid Survivor" Shinya Aoki in a tag match, unleashed a nasty tirade.

Kenoh, who arrived in enemy territory with his tag partner, Yu Owada, spat out, "I'm disappointed to have come here on Christmas Eve, and breathe in this bad atmosphere." He said to the packed out DDT fans, "Are you guys blind? This year I've been to a lot of promotions, and I was welcomed everywhere. DragonGate had a good atmosphere. New Japan had a good atmosphere, but the atmosphere here is the worst". He then bluntly called out Aoki, who was sitting next to him, and said, "He's a fake pro wrestler, who does it on the side while working in MMA". He continued, as he glared at him, "There is nothing more vile than having my name mentioned by DDT's Shinya Aoki in the DDT ring. I am not happy about that at all. I don't want to see Shinya Aoki in such a disappointing state". 

Kenoh, who is also set to face New Japan Pro Wrestling's KENTA at Noah's Nippon Budokan show on January 1st next year, and for that reason he continued to criticize the match to the very end saying, "In my opinion, the weight of the match in DDT, is about 9.5 to 0.5. That is because the opponent is DDT's Shinya Aoki, who is in a dirty ring".

Note

In a related Tokyo Sports article, Shinya Aoki revealed that Kenoh's worst nightmare, Kendo Kashin, has been repeatedly asking him if he can come and second him for this match. Aoki referred the question to Sanshiro Takagi, who proved an unexpected ally, and said no. As Tokyo Sports said, no one is convinced that Kashin won't turn up. Earlier, Kashin said that if Aoki wanted to scare Kenoh, then he should wear a white mask.
