◆Winner: Hirayanagi () following the Shoryu-Genba (Uppercut Lariat) on Ohara.
~ Genba with the win over 1/2 of the GHC Jr. Tag champs.
(5) GHC Junior Prelude Match: Atsushi Kotoge & Katsuhiko Nakajima [DIAMOND RING] vs. Daisuke Harada & Quiet Storm [FREE]
◆Winner: Harada () with a Rolling Clutch on Kotoge.
~ The former GHC Jr. Champion gets a win over the man who beat him for the belt leading into the rematch on 1/24.
(6) Mitsuhiro Kitamiya Rugged Fortitude Single 5 Match Series: Mitsuhiro Kitamiya vs. Takeshi Morishima
◆Winner: Morishima () following the Backdrop Driver.
~ After the match Kitamiya made a shocking turn as he aligned himself with Morishima’s Chokibogun faction.
(7) GHC Tag Championship Match: [31st Champions] “Dangan Yankees” Takashi Sugiura & Masato Tanaka vs. [Challengers] “TMDK” Mikey Nicholls & Shane Haste
◆Winner: Nicholls () following the Thunder Valley on Sugiura.
~ Champions fall on their 5th title defense. TMDK becomes the 32nd generation champions.
~ Respect was shown after the match as Dangan Yankees raised the hands of the new champions for finally being able to claim the big win.
(8) GHC Heavyweight Championship Match: [22nd Champion] Naomichi Marufuji vs. [Challenger] Satoshi Kojima
◆Winner: Marufuji () following a Pole Shift style Emerald Flowsion.
~ 6th successful title defense.
~ After the match, Minoru Suzuki and Suzuki-gun rushed into the ring to attack Marufuji. Suzuki declared that he and SZKG that they would be coming for NOAH, on NJPW’s 1/5 show, and the statement has now been made.
[BushidoRX’s notes: NOAH kicked off 2015 with a strong start. Kitamiya joining Morishima is definitely shocking, but a big move for him for sure. Though this now separates him and NOAH’s other rookie Kumano even more in terms of positioning.
I also now wonder where Genba will be heading as he got a win first thing in the year. Will this finally be his year? This year does mark his 10th year of competing as well.
TMDK finally overcoming their year long drought. Then with Okabayashi returning this will set up the GHC Tag title match that was scheduled just a year ago.
Then Minoru Suzuki making his return to the NOAH ring and attacking Marufuji is surely going to be setting up the big title match at the Ariake Colosseum in March. The former allies now enemies should be the build they will be going for from the early look of things. Then I can easily see Suzukigun as a whole could becoming a factor in most of the GHC titles. TMDK vs. K.E.S., Taichi, TAKA, and or Desperado for the GHC Jr. Singles and Tag belts.
Let’s see how 2015 plays out.]
