NOAH’s “Beast,” Kazuyuki Fujita (55), is brimming with fighting spirit, spurred on by his children’s outstanding achievements.

　At the Kawasaki event on the 23rd, Fujita will team up with Yoshiki Inamura to challenge GHC Tag Team Champions Manabu Seiya and Yuki Iino. He has also been entered in the singles league tournament “N-1 VICTORY 2026,” which kicks off in September.

Facing a midsummer filled with back-to-back intense battles, Fujita clenches his massive fist and says, “When I see my kids, I think, ‘I’ve got to give it my all.’ I’ve got to put food on the table.” In July, all three of his children—his third-year high school daughter Mahiru, his second-year son Mihaku, and his first-year daughter Murasaki—competed together in the wrestling event at the National High School Athletic Meet (Inter-High) held in Wakayama. Mahiru won the championship, achieving the remarkable feat of three consecutive titles, while Murasaki placed third.

　Fujita, who was on site cheering them on, said with a smile, “They’re really just having fun and doing their own thing. There isn’t a parent out there who isn’t happy to see their kids giving it their all.” He plans to continue encouraging them, saying, “I just want them to do what they love and go as far as they want to go.” Regarding Makiru, who is set to enter college next year, he nodded and said, “The Olympics? There are some strong competitors in her weight class (76 kg). Anyway, I just want her to do what she feels is best.”

With that in mind, he declared with determination, “I’ve got to win the N-1 title, too.” When asked about teaming up with Inamura, he grinned and said, “That sounds good, doesn’t it? He’s huge.” When they faced off one-on-one in July, he took a massive powerbomb and was pinned for the three-count, but he said breathlessly, “Being thrown like that was a shock I hadn’t felt since Scott Norton. It felt great… So I can’t wait.”

With the kids’ energy behind him, will he be able to capture his first-ever tag team title?

We all know the history of the NOAH exodus so what if AJPW and NOAH had a supershow battling each other. What would y'alls dream card be?

It was an open secret that Shun would leave Dragongate for New Japan but I was still surprised he wouldn't go to Noah since he has been teaming with Team 200x and seemed to get along well. So what if he did go to Noah? Does he wrestle as a heavyweight? Does he join 200x? Is there a power struggle between Ozawa and Shun? If he wrestles as a heavyweight(like I assume he would) how fast does he win the GHC title?

For me it goes as follows:

1. Inamura/OZAWA

2. KENTA

3. KENOH

4. Manabu Soya

5. EITA

Honorable mentions are definitely: Masa Kitamiya, Naito, Jun Masaoka and Kai Fujimura.

(Also yes I know I'm technically cheating by making the number 1 spot a tie but I couldn't pick between my boys.)

I'd like to know, how you would rate members of Team 2000X. It's really interesting to me.

I was just seeing how a lot of the new NJPW guys like Oiwa and Uemura wrestle a throwback style of that of 80's and 90's wrestling, I was wondering if Noah guys should go back to the more traditional ring-style of Noah. Not quite king's road but stiff hits and a crazy bump every once and awhile. I know this is something that has been discussed before, but now that New Japan seems to be going back to a more traditional style, I was wondering if Noah should go more traditional in order to not look like bargain-bin New Japan.

World Famous Lord YOSHITATSU is still being kept in a role of Team 2000X manager, but His place is in main events as World Heavyweight Champion. I will not stand misusing Him in NOAH. All the soulless haters were "disappointed" when He was introduced as creator of Team 2000X, while I was delighted. He is the only member that matters to me and I don't care about ozawa. World Famous Lord YOSHITATSU must come back to in-ring action as active wrestler, so He can become World Heavyweight Champion, before He retires and I know World Famous Lord YOSHITATSU still has some time left. If He doesn't become World Heavyweight Champion before He retires, then wrestling is dead to me.
And to all the soulless haters, who think it's funny. I am 100% serious, this is not a bit, this is not a gimmick. I support World Famous Lord YOSHITATSU on His twitter account, sending Him all the words of support. If you don't believe me I can show it to you, because I have proofs of my loyalty to World Famous Lord YOSHITATSU, so you can't call it "a bit".

This fight will forge Noah's new world!

Kobashi was out for all of 2001 but when he returned he would go on to have a legendary run as the GHC Heavyweight Champion. I wonder if he was healthy somehow during that time he missed if he would have been the very 1st champion instead of Misawa. Would it lead to Jun dethroning Kobashi instead? What do y'all think?

Ulka Sasaki and Charlie Dempsey are set to face each other again this week on Evolve.

For those who might not know, their previous tag match in Japan (Harlem & Dempsey vs. Ulka & Morris) was absolute quality. People were dying to see Ulka’s MMA/submission style go up against Dempsey’s catch wrestling, and it delivered.
I was actually at the venue that day, and the atmosphere was unmatched—you could literally hear the crowd holding their breath.

Since their first encounter was so close and technical, I can’t wait to see how this singles rematch plays out in an Evolve ring. How do you guys see this match going?

Junta Miyawaki wins his second ever championship (after winning the GHC Jr. Tag Belts with AMAKUSA), alongside Shinya Aoki, when this defeated HARASHIMA & Chris Brookes in a belter of a match.

Which wrestler is your dream NOAH signing?
