Yay finally someone agrees with me about Archer. Dude is great.

Well, thank God I'm hearing different opinions on that tag match right now, I guess people are full of shit sometimes (always).

Btw, MiSu/Nagata is overkill right now, and I have no desire to see that match AGAIN whatsoever, unless it's in a cage. Just end it already, ffs. This is, like, the 3rd Dome match 1-on-1 between them, which is insane.

Cage match would be awesome. They can have the same old-school cage match Nagata had in AJ earilar this year.

Lance Archer has been awesome since his TNA days. The fact he's owning it up in NJPW, after the two major promotions in the US missed the boat with him, is very awesome. Always been a fan.

The article says 6 guys are leaving. Wonder who the other three are.

F4W also says Kotaro Suzuki and Yoshinobu Kanemaru are leaving along with Shiozaki, Kobashi, and Akiyama.

Whoa. Does it say why? Did Marufuji burn some bridges?

**Derek** · 12-03-2012, 10:52 PM

Wow this could very well be the death of NOAH. I would imagine even though he hasn't competed in over a year, Kobashi leaving will have the biggest impact with him being the only possible draw left. As well as losing a long time top guy in Akiyama and a guy in Shiozaki, who's in his prime who should have been the ace if circumstances hadn't forced him into that spot before he was ready.

In less than 10 years NOAH went from being the biggest promotion in Japan to now struggling to survive. Obviously there were major factors that were involved, but one can't wonder if the company would be in a stronger position had they been able to really build up their younger talent rather than solely rely on previously established veterans.

I knew the company was struggling, but damn. They might crumble by the start of 2013.
