With N-1 block winners decided; Hisame breaks down the Finals and other news leading to the big October 11th show!

NEWS

N-1 VICTORY 2020 FINAL: KATSUHIKO NAKAJIMA vs KAITO KIYOMIYA

Noah held the semi final night of the N-1 VICTORY at Korakuen Hall on the 4th October. Katsuhiko Nakajima leading block A was going to go to the finals, no matter who won, but the other contenders Naomichi Marufuji, Takashi Sugiura, Kenoh and Masaaki Mochizuki all had their chances scuppered by either individual losses or by what happened in other matches.

With Katsuhiko Nakajima already a contender, it remained to be seen who out of Go Shiozaki and Kaito Kiyomiya would be going to the finals.

It was a bitterly fought match, with Kaito Kiyomiya realising that he had to wear Go Shiozaki down if he wanted the victory, and he did just this by focusing on what everyone else in the league had done, by attacking Shiozaki’s damaged shoulders and arms. Kiyomiya got the victory in 24 minutes and 7 seconds via the Tiger Suplex.

The referee had practically just finished counting three, Shiozaki was not even out of the ring, and Kiyomiya not on his feet when Nakajima appeared in the ring with a big grin on his face to cause trouble. His first line was to Go Shiozaki, to tell him that he was back to where he started, being defeated by Kaito Kiyomiya (as he was the last time they faced each other in a league match), and then he pretended to notice that Kiyomiya was there, and told him that his “pretense at being a hero, was going to be over in Osaka.”

Kiyomiya got to his feet and shoved Nakajima.

Nakajima remained grinning.

Kiyomiya’s follow up to Nakajima’s taunting was sadly not a sarcastic rebuttal, but merely to say that his momentum meant that he would be going forward, not round in circles, and he would defeat Shiozaki for the belt.

Nakajima left grinning and laughing at Kiyomiya.

Katsuhiko Nakajima vs Kaito Kiyomiya will take place on 11th October at the Osaka Edion 1st Arena. The winner will face Go Shiozaki for the GHC Heavyweight title.

JUNIOR BATTLE ROYALE & MOMO NO SEISHUN TAG

Not to be outdone by the hated heavyweights (and mainly because he wanted revenge on the entire division for various reasons), Daisuke Harada had announced a all division Battle Royale for the 4th October at Korakuen Hall.

The highlights were:

~ The former RATELS fight at the start of the match (Tadasuke questioned as to whether this was really “random”)

~ Yoshinari Ogawa coming to the ring, beating up Harada and then leaving after five minutes and refusing to come back despite being chased by the referee, and therefore eliminating himself.

~ Haoh defeating Kotaro Suzuki in what is their final pre match (Kotaro will probably claim it doesn’t count as he had some assist from Nioh)

~ YO-HEY did “GETZ” after a long time.

~ NOSAWA refusing to get in the ring with the former RATELS (who were having a standoff when he arrived) and preferring to wait for the next person, who turned out to be Junta Miyawaki, before he got in.

~ The “WTF is going on here?” look on Seiki Yoshioka’s face when he came out.

Despite his vow to prove that he was the strongest out of the Noah juniors, Daisuke Harada was eliminated from the Battle Royale by HAYATA, so the task of upholding the honor of the team fell to Atsushi Kotoge, who defeated HAYATA to win. Afterwards, Kotoge spoke on the microphone telling HAYATA that he and Harada were going to take the GHC Junior Tag belts from himself and Yoshinari Ogawa on the 11th October in Osaka.

NOAH RETURN TO SHIBUYA

Noah have announced that they will be returning to the Yoyogi 2nd Gymnasium in Shibuya, Tokyo in December (it is currently shut due to seismic damage to the building and undergoing much needed repairs). Noah have not been here since 2004, and only ever run two shows there (there other was in 2002). To many on the roster this will be a new experience, and the last time they were there the current GHC Heavyweight champion, Go Shiozaki, was only three months into his career. It remains to be seen after the events of October, whether he will be returning there as champion.

 EVENT RECAPS & POST MATCH PROMOS

Event recap: semi final of N-1 Victory (4th October 2020)

ELSEWHERE IN NOAH

 

  • Naomichi Marufuji celebrated his birthday the day after returning from Niigata. He had an amazing cake given to him which had been made in the shape and colors of the Noah ring. Isami Kodaka (who Takashi Sugiura called “Kidaki”, and whom he eventually gave up correcting), came to the party and apparently got very drunk with Masa Kitamiya.
  • Kenta Kobashi was given the all clear in his yearly kidney test
  • Kaito Kiyomiya appears to have a new entry. He stands with his eyes closed and his arms outstretched at his side.
  • Pro Wrestling Noah are currently looking for trainees. The auditions will be held at Club Citta in November, and not the Noah dojo (partly for reasons of space, partly for reasons of privacy as they don’t like visitors and the address is guarded for that reason, and also for reasons of infection control). They also appear to be looking for heavyweights and not juniors.
  • Kongoh appeared in an online internet signing session in which Kenoh said he liked cats, but not to stroke.
  • Kenoh finally saw Takashi Sugiura imitating his fist pose at the N-1 VICTORY 2020 press conference. The fact that Sugi had tucked his thumb between his first and second fingers means in Japan something along the lines of, “Screw you”.
  • Kaito Kiyomiya and young kickboxing prodigy, Tenshin Nasukawa, had joint training session in which they taught each other moves (Kiyomiya has been practicing kicking, but did not use any against Go Shiozaki and Nasukawa a dropkick which he used in a match), they also did a sit down interview afterwards. In the interview Kiyomiya revealed he loves War computer games, and that he would like to team with Nasukawa in Noah one day against Kenoh and an opponent of Nasukawa’s choice.

Published

on

Can the Pride of Inglewood put her pride aside?

WWE Evolve Women’s Champion, Kali Armstrong, claims she doesn’t need help. But in a tag match against Nikkita Lyons & Zayda Steel, will she be able to accept help from The Queen of Harts, Natalya?

OFFICIAL RESULTS

  • Kali Armstrong & Natalya VS Nikkita Lyons & Zayda Steel; Kali & Natty win.
  • WWE ID Showcase: Marcus Mathers VS Jordan Oasis; wins.
  • Kendal Grey VS Zara Zakher; wins.

PLAY BY PLAY

Kali Armstrong & Natalya VS Nikkita Lyons & Zayda Steel!

The WWE Evolve Women’s Champion is certainly strong like her name suggests, but even she can’t win a 2v1, and that’s why someone had to come to her aid. Can there be a Kali Connection between her and The Queen of Harts? Or will #BigKatKita & The Real Deal sink the champ and The BOAT?

The teams sort out, Kali and Lyons start, and the fans rally up. The two talk trash, then start shoving! They tie up and go around, and Kali puts Lyons in the corner. The ref counts, Kali lets off, and the two reset. The fans rally as Kali takes swings but Lyons bobs ‘n’ weaves to BODY SHOT, then ELBOW! Kali staggers back to her corner, ELBOWS Lyons away, and Natty tags in. Natty runs up, slips around to waistlock, but Lyons switches. Lyons lifts, Natty victory rolls and has the legs! Lyons BOOTS Natty away, and Kali tags back in. Kali and Lyons tie up, Lyons KNEES low, but Kali fires rights ‘n’ lefts! Kali avoids the heel kick to ROCK Lyons!

Lyons tags Zayda, Zayda runs in but Kali fireman’s carries. Zayda slips free, kicks, but Kali blocks to LARIAT! Kali brings Zayda over and tags Natty in now. Natty rolls Zayda up, TWO! Natty CLUBS Zayda, whips, but Zayda reverses. Natty dodges in the corner to then slingshot SIT-DOWN! Natty steps on Zayda, then runs to BOOT! The fans fire up and Natty covers, TWO! Zayda flounders but Natty grabs the legs. Natty steps through but Zayda kicks free! Natty chases Zayda to ropes and the ref has Natty back off. Zayda then YANKS Natty into the ropes! Zayda argues with the ref and Lyons BOOTS Natty down!

The fans boo but Zayda drags Natty over. Tag to Lyons and they mug Natty in the corner! Lyons fires body shots and a KICK! Then Lyons runs Natty side to side to bump her off buckles, then fires off more kicks while Evolve goes to break.

Evolve returns and Lyons has Natty down with a chinbar and armlock combo. The fans rally up while Natty endures, but Lyons grinds her down with a full chinlock. Natty fights up, arm-drags free, and the fans fire up. Natty runs but Lyons picks her up! Lyons RAMS Natty all the way to the other corner! Tag to Zayda, she talks trash on Kali, then runs up to SHINING WIZARD Natty! Zayda snapmares Natty, says kiss this to Kali, and she basement DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO! Zayda KNEES Natty in the back and clamps on the chinlock. Natty endures but Zayda throws her down! And steps on her! The fans boo, but Natty rolls Zayda up! TWO!

Zayda and Natty scramble, and Zayda drags Natty away from Kali. Zayda bumps Natty off buckles, stomps her, then tags Lyons. Lyons fires body shots, then brings Natty out for a snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Natty stays in this but Lyons stays on her with a chinlock. The fans rally, Natty fights, but Lyons leans her whole weight on Natty. Natty still fights, still rises, and fires body shots! Lyons THROWS Natty down by her hair! The fans boo but Lyons tags Zayda. Zayda drags Natty up, facelocks, and CLUBS away on her. Zayda powers Natty to a corner, RAMS her, then swaggers. Zayda fires forearms on Natty then tags Lyons.

Lyons fires fast hands on Natty again, then fast kicks! The ref counts, Zayda tags in, and she stomps a mudhole in. The ref counts again and Zayda says she knows! But Natty ELBOWS Lyons and BOOTS Zayda! Natty crawls past Zayda to hot tag Kali! The fans fire up as the champ rallies on Zayda! Shoulder after shoulder, then one for Lyons! Lyons staggers to a corner, Kali runs in and she RAMS Lyons! Then she goes corner to corner and RAMS Zayda! Kali whips Zayda and picks her up for a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, Lyons breaks it! Natty runs up to ROCK Lyons! Lyons ROCKS Natty! Natty ducks the heel kick to DISCUS LARIAT!

The fans fire up while those two bail out and Kali says she didn’t need that help! But Zayda rolls her! TWO, and Kali dodges Zayda to SNAP POWERSLAM! Kali builds up speed, builds speed, but Natty tags in?! KALI CONNECTION! Natty then steps in and has the SHARPSHOOTER! Zayda TAPS, Natty & Kali win!

Winners: Kali Armstrong & Natalya, by submission

Well, okay, Kali didn’t need Natty tagging in at the end, but she admits that’s a good combo. Kali & Natty humble Zayda & Lyons for at least tonight, but Natty glanced at the title. Is the Queen of Harts looking to Evolve as a champion?

 

Stevie Turner talks with Sean Legacy & Timothy Thatcher.

The “Prime Minster” of Evolve says the last few weeks have been some of the biggest in this brand’s short history. She thanks Legacy & Thatcher for helping shape the landscape. Legacy appreciates that, and knows her time is short, so he’ll get to business. He wants first crack at Jackson Drake and that Evolve Championship. Stevie appreciates his initiative, but he’s not the only one who wants it, and she’s already several inquiries. Legacy says he’ll do whatever it takes to be the guy. What if it was a gauntlet against Vanity Project? Thatcher says, “You wanna do what?” Legacy just wants to know, would that be enough?

Stevie double checks: Legacy takes on and beats every man in Vanity Project in a row? Yes, that would make him #1 contender. Then let’s do it! They shake on it and Legacy heads out. Thatcher shakes his head, and says Legacy will just have to learn the hard way. Can Super Sean make it through Brad Baylor, Ricky Smokes and Bryce Donovan, just to get after Jackson Drake?

 

Backstage interview with Jordan Oasis and Marchs Mathers.

Chuey Martinez is with The Nomad and Philly’s Finest and says we’ve been following both men’s journeys. A WWE ID Showcase is here! What’s going through their heads? Oasis says he was looking out the window on the bus, rolling down the I-4 on his way here, and he couldn’t help but think of Jackson Drake. That’s because Drake is also WWE ID, and he is the inaugural WWE Evolve Champion. Now, Oasis didn’t put miles and miles on his boots, and ride for hours and hours on buses, only to get this far. His journey to become Evolve Champion starts tonight!

Mathers stops Oasis there, and says if we’re talking journeys and moments, this is Mathers’ Evolve in-ring debut. This is a moment he has pictured over a thousand times. And while Oasis is a big man, he and Mathers have the same goals, and only one can get there first. And Mathers has all the confidence in the world that it will be him. Chuey says the showcase is up next! Which one of these world-traveled wrestlers will take that huge step towards the title?

 

Masyn Holiday & Layla Diggs talk in the locker room.

Masyn knows a lot is going on, and honestly someone here has to know what is going on. First Brinley Reece was attacked, then Dani Palmer, then Carlee Bright. That’s pretty wild. Layla asks, “Is it? Because Zara, we haven’t seen you in a few weeks.” Jin Tala says she and Kendal Grey were just thinking the same thing. Kendal says Zara has to be the attacker! Zara says she didn’t do it. Then does she have proof? No, but that’s not her style. If you got issue with her, let’s settle it in the ring. Okay, let’s do it! The locker room is on edge, but will the Petite Powerhouse prove her innocence?

 

WWE ID Showcase: Marcus Mathers VS Jordan Oasis!

While Sean Legacy wants to run the gauntlet, these two have been working their way up the indies and are now ready to Evolve. But will Philly’s Finest make a huge splash in his debut? Or will the Nomad prove that he belongs?
