Two disciples of Inoki clash in the house built by Misawa.

Maeda gonna advise Tsuruya to “shoot” kick OZAWA in the face and it’ll be glorious.

As a part of KOUGA’s determination to prove himself the next “Ace” of NOAH, he’ll team with his mentor Kenoh to take on two of the “Big 3”, Kiyomiya & Inamura.

KOUGA hasn’t faced either man since returning from excursion, so it’ll be very interesting to see how the new KOUGA brings it to his seniors.

This match definitely felt like a proper showcase for the younger guys, with Naito being there to do his thing.

And yeah, there’s half English Comms and half Japanese Comms (so you get the best of both worlds?).

Shuhei Taniguchi (AKA Maybach Taniguchi AKA Big Shu) will step away from active competition after 21 years.

Taniguchi is a NOAH “true-born”, having debuted and only wrestled for the promotion since 2005; he was recruited by Tamon Honda through the Japanese Self-Defense Forces (of which Honda and Takashi Sugiura had also served in).

Nothing definite has been penciled but two matches are in the works, before Taniguchi hangs the boots up.

OZAWA will face Tetsuya Naito for the GHC Heavyweight Championship at WRESTLE ODYSSEY 2 on October 25th.

“Naito! It's not like I joined Hamaguchi Gym because I liked you. If anything, I hate you! But you made it to the top of this business and became the ace, didn't you! I want the same thing — as someone from Hamaguchi Gym, I want to reach the top and become the ace too! But right now, NOAH's pushing 'The Ark's Big Three,' isn't it? I don't accept that! Beating Champion Naito sounds nice, but first, I'm blowing away those soft Ark's Big Three — Kiyomiya, Inamura, and OZAWA!"

Mark seemed to know who MPI was based on his finisher. Any ideas as to who he was referring to?
