As someone who follows much less NOAH than I should, what is the consensus reaction to Nakajima winning the Heavyweight title? My first real experience with him and Marufuji was at the G1 and they both were more than impressive. Seems like a well deserved title run if he hasn't had one already.

In one word? Overdue.

I'm through the show from last Sunday and it's a legit show of the year candidate. Shibata vs Shiozaki, Kotoge vs Kanemaru, GBH vs Yano and Marufuji, and Kiyomiya vs Suzuki are all great, but Nakajima vs Sugiura is one of the absolute best matches all year long and possibly one of the best I've ever seen. It blows every other GHC and IWGP Heavyweight Championship defence from this year out of the water. You all should watch these matches as soon as you can.

**** for Kiyomiya vs Suzuki

****1/2 for Go vs Shibata
****3/4 for Nakajima vs Sugiura

Honestly can't wait to watch this show. Work and life have just been crazy recently and I'm only just finishing working my way through BOLA (still got half of N3 to go) but I'm off Tuesday and Wednesday and looking forward to fitting this in then. So looking forward to Nakajima/Sugiura.

So NOAH is going to give us everyone's NJPW dream match during their Global League:

NOAH "GLOBAL LEAGUE 2016", 19.11.2016
Dream Messe Miyagi West Building Hall

Global League - Block A: Takashi Iizuka vs. Toru Yano

Thanks Jado!

[魔界5号]

Pretty big news, NOAH has a new parent company. I don't think this will affect their relationship with New Japan though since they still own a stake in NOAH.

Uchida being on board with this makes me think not much is going to change other than a few less NJPW guys appearing on a regular basis (so, less Suzuki-gun). If anything, we may have another swap of talents like the one he did when in charge of AJPW where Koji Kanemoto went to AJPW and BUSHI went to NJPW.
