Pro Wrestling NOAH "Misawa In Our Hearts" report
Pro Wrestling NOAH "Misawa In Our Hearts" report 9-27 Budokan Hall: The last hurrah
By Alan Counihan
NOAH "GREAT VOYAGE 2009 IN TOKYO ~MITSUHARU MISAWA, ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS~", 27.09.2009
Noah's first Budokan show since the passing of Mitsuharu Misawa was, top to bottom, a very enjoyable three hours. There were no match of the years, or really anything four stars or above, but nothing was bad and it was an extremely easy show to watch.
Akihiko Ito vs. Genba Hirayanagi
Decent enough match from the two generational rivals. They worked hard, although the crowd wasn�t with them the whole way. Genba was fun with his heelishness and Ito has great comebacks. His duck under heel kick is one of the coolest spots going. It always gets a great reaction. Genba won after a low blow and his power up clothesline.
�
Atsushi Aoki vs. NOSAWA Rongai
This was originally supposed to be Aoki vs. Kento Miyahara, but Miya fell ill the day before the show and if there�s one man in Japan who you can call at the last minute and KNOW he will get his butt to your show it�s NOSAWA. Very weird seeing him in a NOAH ring though. He immediately tried to get the crowd involved and it worked. This turned into a very fun little match and NOSAWA put Aoki over like a champ, selling all his strikes like death and tapping the second he was put in Aoki�s armbar which made the move look like one of the hottest finishers in wrestling. Very enjoyable little match.
�
Taiji Ishimori & Ricky Marvin vs. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi & Yoshinobu Kanemaru
Nothing drops your jaw more that Ricky Marvin when he�s �on�. This was one of his �on� nights. He busted out loads of cool stuff and actually far outshined Taiji who�s� been far more impressive in the last 18 months.� This may have been Kikuchi�s last match in NOAH and he added a nice dynamic to it, being completely confused by the crazy moves and just attempting to get in a forearm strike or a headbutt whenever he could. Taiji went over Kikuchi with a 450 and a Touch Out (to taunt Kanemaru).
�
Bison Smith vs. Shuhei Taniguchi
Bison Smith has cracked the Taniguchi code. The recipe to having a good match with him is to just kill him with spectacular power moves, beat the tar out of him and then let him make a comeback with suplexes and most importantly NO STRIKES (because Shuhei, God bless him, has the most horrible looking strikes I�ve seen in ages). So congrats to Bison. Now everybody else follow the recipe. Some of Smith�s offense included a running powerbomb from the ramp into the ring, a gorilla press to the outside, a run down the ramp diving shoulder tackle (over the ropes), and a dive from the top to the floor (yup by Bison). When Taniguchi came back with Germans and other throws, the crowd rallied behind him. He was eventually put down by a Bisontennial. Real fun stuff.
�
Minoru Suzuki, Jun Akiyama & Takashi Sugiura vs. KENTA, Muhommad Yone & Takeshi Rikio
This match made little sense as far as pairings go but it definitely delivered a fun outing. Suzuki was making his first appearance on the green mat in years and he and KENTA really got into it big. They teased some conflict between partners, Suzuki and Akiyama too. Sugiura looked great throughout although he was not given a major role until the finish. At one point Yone squished Suzuki�s face with a legdrop and boy did he PAY for it, just getting brutalised by the former Pancrase star (and Paul Lazenby tormentor). No real extended heat segment as they just kinda went back and forth giving the fans as many different pairings in the ring as possible. It came down to Rikio and Sug, reminiscent of a bigtime Budokan tag in 2007, only this time the smaller Sugiura came out on top, hooking in a tight ankle lock for the tap (a rarity in NOAH).
�
Kensuke Sasaki, Takeshi Morishima & Katsuhiko Nakajima vs. Genichiro Tenryu, Yoshinari Ogawa & Kotaro Suzuki
This was basically Kensuke Office vs. �Team Misawa�.� Tenryu worked far harder than he had too, which is a credit to him. The highlight was a big chop duel �between he and Kensuke. The Nakajima/Kotaro sections brought the top class junior action, and the Morishima sections brought the top class flying fatboy action (he was really moving on this night). Ogawa was typically solid. Lots of good action towards the finish. They built to Kotaro and Morishima being left alone in the ring, with Kotaro using Misawa elbows to try to topple the big man. It was to no avail, as he was eventually downed by numerous lariats and Backdrop Drivers.
�
Akira Taue & Keiji Muto vs. Kenta Kobashi & Yoshihiro Takayama
First time ever meeting of Muto and Kobashi in this one, and it had the crowd going crazy. The entrances were all pretty goosebump inducing and you had the feel that perhaps your were about to see a hell of a spectacle (in spite of the obvious physical limitations). Takayama and Taue started and got a good reaction, but when they both tagged out the roof came off for their partners. Kobashi started to get the better of the All Japan president with chops, so Muto bolted outside, hopped the rail and grabbed a chair. Taue talked him out of it and cooler heads prevailed. �They match was basically a collection of cool moments that the crowd ate up and it was all strung together very nicely. We�re dealing with smart wrestlers here folks. They ain�t no rookies. Taue busted out a shining wizard towards the finish and that was probably the spot of the match, although Kobashi doing a hurracanrana came close. Both Muto and Kobashi teased moonsaults but they were stopped in their tracks. Finish was Kobashi downing Taue with a lariat. Memorable match for sure.
�
Go Shiozaki vs. Akitoshi Saito
Didn�t know what to expect from this going in. I�m not a huge fan of Saito�s work by any means, but he was obviously going to try to give the performance of a lifetime here. He pretty much did, as I know I�ve never seen him look any better. They were times when it wasn�t getting the biggest of responses but all their big moves got the desired reactions, and for the finishing stretch the place was making a lot of noise. A lot of great striking exchanges throughout with Go�s elbows, superkicks and chops looking so so good. Saito hung with him and threw out plenty of heavy duty stuff himself. Finish saw Go survive the backdrop driver (which had obvious connotations) hit a rolling elbow, a perfect Emerald Frosion and a Go Flasher (he busted out his super high moonsault earlier) to get the win and retain the GHC title. Good match.

Pro Wrestling NOAH report 6-22 Korakuen Hall
Pro Wrestling NOAH report 6-22 Korakuen Hall
By Alan Counihan
Pro Wrestling NOAH's tour ender at Korakuen Hall this past week was, for obvious reasons, a very emotional show. It was without question the biggest show since the passing of Mitsuharu Misawa, as more than 2,000 fans packed one of the most famour venues in wrestling. The show was headlined by a mouth watering tag match pitting Kensuke Sasaki and Katsuhiko Nakajima against the new GHC Heavyweight Champion, Go Shiozaki and junior champ KENTA.
The show opened as all recent shows have, with a ten bell salute to Misawa. A framed picture of him was placed at ringisde.
1. Chris Hero vs. Akihiko Ito
This has been Hero's breakout tour in Japan. He's been getting over with the fans on every show, and has been having really good matches (particularly last time at Korakuen against Shiozaki). Ito is one of the younger members of the roster and has been showing a ton of promise in recent months. They really got the crowd into the match, as the two worked extremely well together. Ito came up with some clever counters to Hero's signature stuff that he's been using on the tour, and they got some great nearfalls. Hero, who was wearing new green gear, used a ton of Misawa like elbows which the crowd ate up. However it was from the moveset of Misawa's rival Toshiaki Kawada that Hero pulled out the finishing move of this match, as he made Ito submit to the Stretch Plumb. Awesome stuff.
2. Taiji Ishimori & Yoshinobu Kanemaru vs. Genba Hirayanagi & Kotaro Suzuki
There are few wrestlers with as much chemistry as Kotaro and Taiji. It's always a treat to watch these two against each other. Match was relatively short but there were plenty of cool exchanges. Genba has a ton of charisma. Finish came with Taiji turning on Kanemaru allowing Genba to get the win. This is where I'm not going to be able to help you, because they totally lost me with the post match angle. Taiji got on the mic and said something that got a big reaction. He then called out his ex-partner KENTA who came out and helped him put the boots to Kanemaru. This was made even more confusing by KENTA wearing a Rikio t-shirt (Rikio is partners with Kanemaru, Kotaro and Genba). Kotaro and Genba saved Kanemaru, and they joined back together too. Apparantly this was NOT a heel turn by KENTA. I don't get it. If anyone speaks Japanese and understands the angle, please let me know.
3. Akira Taue, Yoshinari Ogawa & Ricky Marvin vs. Akitoshi Saito, Masao Inoue & Bobby Fish
This match really put a smile on my face. These guys, particularly Saito and Ogawa, had been through emotional turmoil and they really just seemed to go out here and try to have fun. The crowd gave them so much love, especially to Saito which was great to see. Inoue is a vastly underrated comedy wrestler, as he always entertains with his facial expressions and reactions. Taue is amazing in that regard too. Loads of funny things spliced throughout the match, but there was also some good action from the likes of Fish and Marvin. Saito got the win with an enziguiri on Marvin. He was very emotional post match as the crowd gave him a standing ovation.
4. Takeshi Morishima & Takashi Sugiura vs. Yoshihiro Takayama & Takuma Sano
Sugiura and Morishima were on fire here. Very intense action throughout. They kept it short and sweet which allowed the guys to have an explosive match. That is in my opinion, the best way to use Takayama. He was great here, really putting over his opponents as serious bad asses. Morishima, in spite of his added weight, still moves ridiculously well. He was flying around the ring, and his missile dropkick looked better than ever. It came down to Sugiura and Sano, and they had some great exchanges before Sugiura put him down with an grapevined ankle lock.
5. Atsushi Aoki vs. Jushin Thunder Liger
This match was part of Aoki's ongoing trial series. He's coming off a successful run in New Japan's Best Of Super Juniors, actually making it further than Liger by getting to the semi finals. This match was great. Aoki was more over than he's EVER been, as the crowd really rallied behind him. Liger was awesome in his role as the seasoned vet. Aoki, as he usually does, worked the arm for most of the match. This built to him eventually locking in a kimura, which transitioned into a jugigatame. The roof was set to come off Korakuen as Liger teased and teased tapping. It was so awesome. He barely made the ropes to break the hold. Aoki pressed on, attempting to finish Liger a different way, but he was caught with a perfect flash cradle for the pin. Wonderfully executed match. Aoki is coming along so well.
6. Shuhei Taniguchi vs. Bison Smith
Like Aoki, Taniguchi is also undergoing a trial series at the moment. Only his is of the heavyweight variety. He was originally slated to face Misawa in this match. They shuffled the card around to free up Smith so that he could step into the spot. The match wasn't bad but it had issues. Bison clearly was trying to make Taniguchi look good and gave him ALOT of offense. However I think it may have worked better if Bison got the heat so to speak, and Shuhei had to fight from the bottom. The crowd may have rallied behind the youngster more if this was the case. I don't think they knew how to react to him beating up Smith in the first two thirds of the match. By the end though it got good, as Bison took control and nearly put away Taniguchi several times. He hit a series of BRUTAL moves, including possibly the most insane lariat I've ever seen. Taniguchi fought to stay in it, and the crowd responded. The finish was awesome as Bison hit a powerbomb, but held on and hurked Shuhei up again for the Bisontennial. Both guys worked really hard here.
7. Kenta Kobashi & Tamon Honda vs. Takeshi Rikio & Mohammed Yone
Up and down match here. Rikio and Yone are not the best guys to be working with Kobashi, and Honda seemed to be a bit off. Thus it was less than smooth at times. The crowd was responsive to alot of what they did though, and Kobashi's charisma was as great as ever, so the match was worth watching. Yone took some BIG bumps including a scary half nelson suplex from Kobashi. Honda dropped the fall for his team, getting rolled up by Yone as he attempted a suplex.
8. Go Shiozaki & KENTA vs. Kensuke Sasaki & Katsuhiko Nakajima
The main event, that looked can't miss on paper, delivered in spades. The heat built during the entrances to the point that the atmosphere was nuts even before the wrestlers made contact. This match was built around striking exchanges, and they were some of the most brutal and hard hitting striking exchanges that I've ever seen. Go's chops were the loudest they've ever been and one of the first times he hit Nakajima with one it was RIGHT IN THE FACE. I think he was expecting Nakajima to duck based on their reactions after it happened. Poor Nakajima looked like someone immediately after they got smacked in the face with a soccer ball.
KENTA upon entering made it known that he wanted Kensuke and was trying to pick a fight with him even as he stood on the apron. Those two proceeded to blister each other with chops and kicks too. The crowd was eating all of this up. The Kensuke Office isolated KENTA for a while, but he eventually got a big hot tag to Go and the fans went nuts. The first big nearfall was a submission tease as Nakajima locked in an ankle lock on KENTA while Kensuke had Go tied up in his Stranglehold Gamma. This was as dramatic as the Aoki/Liger spot earlier in the night.
We got plenty of Nakajima vs. KENTA interaction down the stretch, and it was every bit as good as what they produced in their big singles matches this year. The big turning point in the match saw Sasaki and Nakajima going for a doomsday device style move on Go, but he countered by hitting a rana on Kensuke and ducking the airbourne Nakajima in the process. Almost immediately KENTA came from off camera with a top rope diving footstomp on the prone Nakajima.
It came down to Nak and Go, as KENTA held Kensuke at bay outside. Nakajima went crazy hitting about 6 superkicks in a row that looked incredible and then nailed his picture perfect bridging German for the best nearfall of the match. He looked for more kicks but Go cut him off with an unbelievable lariat. He then nailed a series of chops including his awesome spinning overhand version. Another lariat and then finally the Go Flasher gave his team the win. This was an incredible match, and easily in the top 2 or 3 I've seen this year. The crowd was molten and the wrestlers gave everything they had. You have to check this out if you get a chance.
Post match saw Nakajima and Shiozaki get into it and have to be seperated. Shozaki got on the mic and spoke to the fans, then he and KENTA went over and bowed to the picture of their leader Misawa. The familiar music of the NOAH founder then played over the arena and the ring filled with green and white streamers. It was an unbelievable visual.

Causa della morte di Misawa
Nonostante la famiglia abbia cercato di mantenere i risultati riservati, il Mainichi Daily News riporta che la morte è arrivata a causa di un danno al midollo spinale cervicale causato dal back suplex ricevuto.
sabato 13 giugno 2009
Morto fondatore della NOAH Mitsuharu Misawa
A pochi giorni dal compiere 47 anni, Mitsuhau Misawa è morto dopo essere collassato sul ring a seguito di un back suplex.
Misawa stava lottando in un tag team match al Hiroshima Green Arena, in coppia con Go Shiozaki affrontando Bison Smith e Akitoshi Saito per i NOAH Global Honored Crown Tag Team championships. Dopo circa 20 minuti, saito ha eseguito un normale back suplex su Misawa e quest'ultimo, dopo aver ricevuto il colpo, non si è più rialzato.
L'intero roster ha circondato il ring cercando di rianimarlo. Il pubblico presente si è dapprima ammutolito e poi capendo che qualcosa non era andato per il verso giusto ha iniziato a gridare "Misawa".
Si pensa che Misawa possa aver subito un attacco cardiaco avendo smesso subito di respirare. Ha iniziato a diventare viola poco dopo, i soccorsi hanno cercato di rianimarlo ed in seguito è iniziata la corsa in ospedale.
Visto l'accaduto lo show è stato sospeso ed il roster è stato fatto risalire sui bus, dove più tardi sono stati informati del decesso di Misawa, morto alle ore 10:10 PM sull'ora del Giappone.
Low Ki commenta la morte di Misawa:"E' stata la prima persona che ho incontrato dopo il mio primo match titolato in NOAH e mi disse una cosa che contò molto per me "Ben fatto". E' stato un'onore far parte della sua compagnia. Non riesco a credere che se ne sia andato. non so cos'altro dire. E' terribile. Mi sento terribile."
Chris Hero:" I momenti nel ring sembravano un'eternità. Mai nell amia vita ho voluto lo spirito combattivo per accorrere una persona come questa sera. I fans gridavano Misawa Misawa Misawa. Loro volevano che il loro Eroe si rialzasse così fottutamente. Alzati soltanto. Forza. Sei troppo duro per questo. Troppo forte. Ho afferrato i suoi stivali e mi sono tenuto a loro sinchè non l'hanno portato via."

Loro volevano che il loro Eroe si rialzasse così fottutamente. Alzati soltanto. Forza. Sei troppo duro per questo. Troppo forte. Ho afferrato i suoi stivali e mi sono tenuto a loro sinchè non l'hanno portato via."
