>(...) Returning to the ring for the first time in ten years since leaving in 2015, Shiozaki explained backstage, “I didn't come back to All Japan Pro Wrestling. I'm going to make HAVOC thunder through the pro wrestling world.” His return was made possible by HAVOC. A storm has arrived on the mainstream mat.

>>19022539
You mean that some promos gonna get less public since people have to pick where to spend their money or something else?

>>19022489
That's honestly a low-key bad number for an otherwise red hot year noah has had, but attendance has plummeted since Ozawa is out. That's how much of a buzz he brings to the company

Inamura returns while Shiozaki leaves is a good trade. Fuck that broken down traitor

Did baked or any of the sites streaming Wrestle Odyssey? I don't really want to buy it, but it's only up for 6 days and then it may get lost.

So it's looking like virtually nobody in the west bought or streamed Noah's Wrestle Odyssey. I'll give it some time but even if I can buy it, I don't even know when I can really watch it.

I am NOT NOAH.

>>19022897
to be desu i didn’t even realize it was a ppv, i thought it was just a regular live stream kek
how much does it cost? somewhere around $20?

>>19022959
It's $14.42. It wasn't the most hyped PPV ever.

I'm not even done with the N-1 yet.

Nvm it's up. Saved $14.42...

NOAH is fucking trash. Certified trash. Ozawa only made it worse and it's been downhill ever since. Lame matches, weak booking, and so on. Only good match was the Suzuki one.

japs hated the fujita match

>>19032372
I haven't watched the show
>double countout, the 2 tease another match
Unsurprising, Suzuki never had that type of big show pull from his name being involved, still more than Fujita but it's 2025

>>19032372
mostly noahfags who don't want to see old men fighting, it's not the match per se but booking.
suzuki is having a decent run in ddt and only read people on twitter annoyed by him being main event, while for japanese is fine

>>19032769
non-japanese people on twitter, forgot to mention this detail
don't get how some people here on /pw/ or elsewhere hate him and i genuinely dislike the murder grandpa bullshit

>>19027287
This nigga feels like he's stuck in 2010 with his god awful hair and fashion

>https://x.com/Hi5ame/status/1976932963628769561
Missed this. Is this a produced show by Kyomiya or just a regular anniversary thing?

>>19032276
I'm trying so hard to find something to appreciate about them this year. The N-1 Victory was fun and it was a breath of fresh air to see Kitamiya win. It was actual, honest-to-god, good booking as it built on his heel turn from earlier in the year! NOAH built up a heel and had him poised to march into the next ppv and take the GHC from an aging champion.

...then he loses to KENTA in lackluster fashion. Worse still the ADHD booking is already looking at the next challenger instead of keeping Masa relevant because God forbid you have a viable heel on the roster.

>>19032372
Fans typically don't like sub-10 minute double count outs. Not since the 70's at least.

Fujita is difficult to utilize well because he tends to look best when he's dominant, but fans have been burned by his title reigns so they get apprehensive when it looks like he might steamroll an opponent. He's similar to 2010's Goldberg in the sense that he can't be booked to fully utilize his limited skill set without pissing off the fans.

Suzuki is excellent for his age and character, like >>19032769 mentioned he's being booked very well in DDT and still has the fans' support. It's just that he's well past the "special attraction, no booking required" appearance. He needs a story, an angle, something to get the fans on board. Plus, NOAH fans have a long history with Suzuki... some good, some bad.

>>19034364
>I'm trying so hard to find something to appreciate about them this year.
I loved KENOH's wild and wacky weekend title reign. Those were two of the best men's matches I've seen this year and they were within 24 hours of each other.

>>19034364
thanks for agreeing. i didn't know if noah built up some kind of story between fujita and suzuki before their match since im not a regular noah's watcher. so the comment i read the most were about "idgaf about geezers"

not always ddt storyline are bright (kanon getting kicked out of damnation), but they proved recently that they can build up expectations and interesting situations
so suzuki vs ueno after six months having a rematch with double title on the line comes back full circle, and it makes sense (even if here as well i read some people annoyed but ddt cares way too much about ueno's boner for suzuki)

>>19033959
im not seeing any more info anywhere.

>>19034682
I don't believe there was any buildup whatsoever for the match. Suzuki just randomly appeared after a Fujita tag match, and issued a challenge. It was particularly strange because Suzuki hasn't been in NOAH in ages and Fujita hasn't been doing much more than random tags all year. Usually an outsider will invade and challenge the champion or a stable will invade to challenge the top stable... Suzuki and Fujita have no history and no NOAH titles were on the line, so... there was nothing at stake.

I don't blame the NOAH fans for not being interested. I'm a NOAH fan and a Suzuki mark (Fujita's not bad either), and I was kind of scratching my head. That being said; I have a hard time believing any Japanese fans were saying it was because they're geezers. The japs love their geezers, hell... Masanobu Fuchi still pops the crowds. Ditto Fujiwara.

I'd be down to see a rematch between the two, this time with something at stake. Don't care where it is either. Fujita in DDT would be cool. Hell, have them join forces and form an indy stable. Bring in some younger guys, maybe a deathmatch guy and a tag team. Writes itself really.

the main event was alright, i like takeshita but i think zsj had a better match than him.

>>19041462
god

Atsushi Kotoge showed up at ZERO1 today and announced that due to Go Shiozaki leaving for All Japan that ZERO1’s World Heavyweight Title was now vacant and handed the title over to Megumi Kudo. He apologized for the disrespect that NOAH had done to the title. Tanaka challenged Kotoge to a singles match for the title.

>>19042462
>https://x.com/cemikill/status/1977685678134886568
>And when Kotoge came to apologize to Masato for the World Heavyweight Championship match on behalf of Team NOAH, Masato broke down in tears and told him not to apologize...

>>19042462
>>19042509
Why didn’t KWAB1 strip Go when he was out for 6 months

>>19042534
he was out for six month but still signed to NOAH, no?

>I thought that with Takeshita's coronation, New Japan fans and DDT fans would be at each other's throats and continue on to 1000, but then the Kotoge incident made that all the more difficult.
KEK

>>19042774
Yes and?

>>19043563
well, that's your answer he no longer part of NOAH and Kotoge coming there and apologizing etc was a good scene to stir up some shit, it's not that hard to understand

https://x.com/atsushi_kotoge/status/1977730547980935592

https://x.com/noah_marufuji_/status/1977716361263456258

They are shooting

>>19044014
My point was that they should’ve stripped Go when he got injured. Going 6 months without your top title on the shows is retarded

>>19045034
Maru getting btfo’d by the replies
>I don’t know the details, but shouldn’t someone in a position of influence avoid making statements on a widely viewed SNS that belittle or blame an individual?
Mr. Kotouge has said that athletes and organizations should not be blamed, but this post seems to be leading the way in blaming an individual.
>I don't know the details, but since a contracted wrestler was holding the belt, wouldn't NOAH-san have some sort of management responsibility? Or wouldn't they? Apparently, the person had expressed their intention to return it. At that time, was there any hearing with the person involved, or any communication between the companies? I ask the vice president.
>If I remember correctly, wasn't it Mr. Misawa who taught that you should wipe your own ass yourself?
Kek

>>19046060
zero1 isn't exactly a competently ran promotion

>>19041462
I'll be open minded about it. Go could be a decent veteran to have work with the younger talent AJPW is building. If Go talks AJPW into bringing Nakajima back in AXIZ could be the top tag team. Even if he doesn't I think Go could have a decent place here.

>>19042462
Kotoge's apology really resonated with the japs
wont be surprised if they give him the belt

>>19046101
another week where marufuji gets a lot of hate lol
>If Mutoh and Misawa had a better eye for people, All Japan and Noah would not have been left so far behind by New Japan.
>Marufuji made Kotoge, who wasn't even involved, kneel down and beg for the belt back, and then he went on social media to criticize Shiozaki.
This epitomizes Marufuji's trashiness and shittiness. If a vice president like this were to exist, he'd be a cancer not only in NOAH but in CyberFight as well.

>>19049102
Poor Marufuji

Marufuji is too entranced by Chika Goto's ass to run this company effectively.

Marufuji & Tanahashi must go

>https://x.com/alljapan_pw/status/1978011946017546517
As soon as Shiozaki joined All Japan, they issued a warning about stalking players and staff.
It's so weird to see Shiozaki's stalker move along with him, japanese law is so shit about this stuff

>>19050216
So far Tana might not be making all good decisions but at least the NJPW talent seems to respect him and are fine with working for him. Even Naito who left didn't have anything bad to say about him. Marufuji doesn't seem to be getting that response.

Rat boy should’ve take over

>>19050250
Didn't NOAH also have to put out a similar statement at some point?

>>19052196
yes, which is why in the comment someone said
>They transferred together with Shiozaki lol

>>19053295
>I believe in myself more than doctors

>>19050250
stalker?

is the Go Shiozaki stalker the auntie who threw the water on Kenta?

ore ga NOAH janai desu

>>19053741
Different person. That woman was apparently a huge Tanahashi mark who was either still seething about KENTA's heel work from years ago or was mad that he left NJPW. Maybe both

why are Freedoms and BJW never discussed here?

>>19055242
I don't watch FREEDOMS but they put all their shows up VOD on YouTube so I'm surprised they don't get talked about more

>>19055242
niche promotions and bjw has never been more irrelevant

>>19055242
Deathmatch feds are a niche within a niche, and haven't really been a draw since the 90's. Plus, both feds have relatively small rosters of wrestlers... so it's endless rematches to some degree.

Years ago BJW soared with the advent of their Strong Division, which ironically shyed away from deathmatch wrestling to present more beefy loss fights and whatnot. Okabayashi, Sekimoto, Ishikawa and others ruled but... Okabayashi seemingly retired, and Sekimoto and Ishikawa spend more time elsewhere. I can only watch Hashimoto's son so much before boredom sets in. Deathmatch guys are even more stale.

Freedoms was on fire for years, Jun Kasai, Masada, and others pushed the envelope but again... small rosters and lack of exposure. It's nice to see them make efforts to reach wider audiences via YouTube but gone are the heydays.

>>19055398
Sorry, Takada not Masada. Don't know where my head was at.

>>19055417
Fuck. Takeda.

Damn spellcheck.

>>19053654
Yeah, is something i read from 5ch threads a bunch of times but don't know the details. Seems like is a well known thing but no on can't do anything about it

I like the energy Kento is having for this feud.

>>19022721
I think it's good for each promotion. NOAH needs another solid young talent and AJPW could use a big veteran name to work with their growing younger talent.

Koguma must answer.

I finally watched the last AJPW show. I have to say AJPW is in a way better place than they were a few years ago. A lot of younger guys, the veterans are put in good spots, and I love how unhinged Kento gets around types like Go and Nakajima. I hope AJPW can keep it together because this is the strongest their roster has looked in a bit.

this is the match

>>19105156
higuchi and takeshita's last single was back 2022 where takeshita lost, it's a really cool he picked him but masada it's kind of meh, he's being stagnant for quite some times while the other DG guys are doing very well, but makes sense that kasei picked him since was in his first match

I think Go's in a good spot. He's the guy who always abandons his friends and factions and never stays too loyal to one promotion for long, plus he even ditched Kento back in the day and is bffs with Nakajima. He makes a solid guy for Kento to get unhinged with.

Similar though I don't think Jake's runs as deep in ways. Go was tag champs with Kento when he bailed on AJPW to go back to NOAH, forcing the titles to be vacated.

>>19108430
WOULD (in no particular order)

>>19108575
I'm surprised at how well liked Odyssey and Xyon are with the AJPW crowd but they've adapted to working there pretty well and Xyon seems to have put in a lot of work to get better since NXT.

>[AJPW] Kento Miyahara explains the intent behind his “spur-of-the-moment” remark: “It was something I planned.”

>All Japan Pro Wrestling’s Triple Crown Heavyweight Champion Kento Miyahara (36) successfully made his first title defense on October 22 at Korakuen Hall, defeating challenger Go Shiozaki (43). Before the match, Miyahara was furious at Shiozaki, who had been moving back and forth between AJPW and NOAH—but after defending his title, he suddenly proclaimed, “What’s wrong with coming and going?!” seemingly contradicting himself. What was behind this abrupt reversal?

>That night, Miyahara retained his title against Shiozaki with a Shutdown Suplex Hold. At the pre-match press conference, he had harshly criticized Shiozaki—who had left NOAH at the end of September and made a “return appearance” in AJPW at the October 11 Gyoda event—saying, “A guy who comes and goes, vacates belts, and lets his unit run wild… I don’t even want to let you near the Triple Crown belt!”

>However, once the match was over, Miyahara boldly flipped his stance, declaring, “What’s wrong with coming and going, vacating belts, or letting your unit run wild?!” and praised Shiozaki. When asked afterward about the sudden shift, Miyahara grinned and explained, “It was something I intended from the start. I wanted fans to rediscover what makes Japanese pro wrestling so special.” His point: *Japanese wrestling is interesting precisely because wrestlers can transfer or return.*

>>19117504
>“In Japan, fans have only seen Go Shiozaki in other promotions up to now, right? But just by him showing up in All Japan, people start complaining. That’s what makes the culture of Japanese pro wrestling so fascinating. Just being in a different promotion creates a storyline—and I wanted to deliberately highlight that,” he said, revealing his true reasoning.

>He also wanted to push back against the current trend that glorifies overseas promotions. “When Japanese wrestlers go abroad, there’s this perception that ‘foreign promotions are the best.’ But Japanese pro wrestling is amazing. There are shows every day, across so many promotions, and even just a return to a former company can generate this much excitement. I think we should be proud of that system,” he said confidently.

>Miyahara himself, now the company ace, originally transferred from Kensuke Office in 2014. For his second title defense (November 3 in Sapporo), he will face AJPW’s *true* homegrown talent, Hokuto Omori. Miyahara added, “I’m telling him—show me the pride of someone who lived and trained in the dojo,” hinting at a new ideological clash ahead.

Just finished watching the last AJPW show. Kento vs Go was awesome. Both guys had a lot of energy and were ruthless with each other. I'm really glad Go went to AJPW now and I'm curious to see what chemistry he'll build with Ashino. The Anzai match was a lot of fun too.

>>19117511
I get what Kento's saying and I can respect he wants to buck the trend of aces going to WWE or AEW but I kinda wish he didn't just say that out loud.

A lot of people are talking good about Miyahara vs Shiozaki match. Not a AJPW fag or NOAH fag and felt like him moving away from NOAh was kind of meh but I'm definitely curious about it

>>19119618
It's a fun match. Kento and Go are letting their bad blood out on each other and the crowd is hot the entire time. Go makes a good heel for the match because the crowd wants to see Kento beat him. I'm not sure how I feel about the hug and the feud already ending but I think it's because AJPW is gearing towards a generational clash. I think the Kento era is coming close to a close and AJPW is trying to having Kento prep the younger guys to take the reigns.

>>19119889

>[GLEAT] Will CIMA’s Yokohama match be his last? President Suzuki comments: “I think it’s been hard for him to adjust.”

>GLEAT is in turmoil over one of its key figures.

>The shock came at the October 9 Korakuen Hall show. After regaining the G-REX Championship, El Lindaman declared that his first defense would take place on November 3 at Yokohama BUNTAI in Kanagawa. The man he called out as challenger, CIMA, accepted—but with anger, saying, “My match with you will be my last one in this ring.” He went on to admit, “I don’t understand what this company wants me to do anymore. I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do myself.”

>Two weeks later, on October 23, GLEAT president Hiroyuki Suzuki spoke to the press in Tokyo. He said that although he and CIMA are still in contact via email, “As for November 3 and what comes after, neither of us is bringing it up right now. We’re only exchanging what’s absolutely necessary.”

>How does the company interpret CIMA’s frustration? Suzuki explained, “There have been a lot of things under the surface. CIMA has done everything he can on the front line to make GLEAT a truly unique promotion, one that combines his own experience with the company’s philosophy. Along the way, there were many times when we realized that our views of pro wrestling were not always the same.” Referring especially to the strain since the Nagoya show in June of last year, he added, “The management style of GLEAT is very different from the promotions CIMA’s worked with before, and even though he respected and agreed with it, I think it’s been very difficult for him to adjust.”

>>19123023
>Those accumulated tensions finally surfaced on October 9. “As the promoter, I take responsibility for the show, and I understand where CIMA was coming from,” Suzuki said. “But my honest feeling at that moment was that I wanted him to face Lindaman.”

>As for what happens after November 3, Suzuki said, “Of course, I’d like him to continue being part of GLEAT, both during and beyond his current contract.” Yet he also admitted, “At the same time, I want CIMA to stay true to himself. If he feels that something’s not right, then trying to stop him might also be wrong. I keep asking myself that question every day.”

>With CIMA set to appear at the October 25 Umeda Sky Building event in Osaka, Suzuki concluded, “Honestly, I don’t know what’s going to happen.”
