Full NOAH 1/23 Card

The full card for NOAH's first big tour ending show of the year has been announced. It looks a bit weak on paper, but hopefully NOAH's style of putting on strong work rate for big shows would make up for it. The one match I'm looking forward to the most is the GHC Hardcore title match between Marufuji and Eigen. The time limit is set for 10-minutes, and all Eigen has to do to win the title is survive the time limit. I've seen Momota bust out some great offense during big matches, and hopefully, Eigen will do the same and win the title!
