DIRECTOR AOYAGI SENDS A FAX TO THE EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT 

The fax sent to the editorial department by Director Aoyagi contained the following information:

"I, Masashi Aoyagi, driven by my pure desire as a martial artist, directly appealed to Mr. Mitsuharu Misawa, the representative and president of Pro Wrestling Noah Co., Ltd., at the Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium on September 25th, to participate in the event. As a result, I was granted permission to participate in the Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium tournament on October 11th, but President Misawa's statement that this participation was a "test run" remains deeply regrettable to me. Furthermore, despite the Aichi show card being announced in newspapers and magazines, the fact that my name was not listed anywhere has only deepened my pride as a fighter. 

Therefore, in order to reclaim my wounded pride, I hereby declare my intention to participate in Noah once again, and I intend to go to the battlefield not alone, but together with my comrade, Akitoshi Saito. Accordingly, I request that Pro Wrestling Noah promptly announce the venues in which Saito and I will be competing, and that those who take on this challenge come prepared with the appropriate level of determination."

(The document was signed by both Director Aoyagi and Akitoshi Saito) 

Meanwhile, Marufuji, who is now facing off against him, is taking a tough stance against Director Aoyagi's remarks. 

"That guy's no good. They say it's just a costume change, but he's never even made it to All Japan, has he? Can't he even take a proper bump? Having Inoue as a partner is a waste. The younger wrestlers are enough; those guys aren't really needed (in Noah). They're just trying to make a name for themselves because they've faded into the background. Those guys are karate aren't they? They shouldn't be trying to incorporate pro wrestling into their act."

What will happen in Nagoya? 

MITSUHARU MISAWA'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY PUBLISHED 

Mitsuharu Misawa's first original autobiography, "Mitsuharu Misawa - Setting Sail" (Kobunsha, 1200 yen + tax), has been published.

JUN AKIYAMA TALKS ABOUT NOAH IN THE 21ST CENTURY

This advert appeared on the final page of the issue. 

Jun Akiyama would be giving a talk over the course of four weeks (2nd October until the 29th October) on Noah. 

Jumping on the emerging digital bandwagon, the talk would be available via digital magazines (available only in some regions of Japan), and only after the 30th October. The advert also said that J-PHONE was launching nationwide. This was like an early form of X (Twitter) in which you could get live updates on matches, and all the news. Quizzes were also available.
