New NOAH Champions!

Big shocker at NOAH's tour closer today as there were two big title changes on the show! First, former champion Takashi Sugiura defeated KENTA to win the GHC Jr. title in a match whre everyone expected KENTA to retain and avenge his loss to Sugiura from 2 years ago when Sugiura successfully defened the title against KENTA, and last June when Sugiura pinned KENTA to win the GHC Jr. tag titles. Sugiura won his no.1 contender spot last night winning an 8-man battle royal which many thought would have been won by veteran Mitsuo Momota since he had attacked and provoked KENTA at the beginning of the tour.
And in the main event, the veteran team of Kenta Kobashi and Tamon Honda won the GHC tag team titles off the youngster team of Takeshi Morishima and Mohammed Yone, who are fresh back from a tour of the UK. Honda used a new cross-armed variation of the Dead End on Yone to win the titles in a battle that went over a half hour and should definately be awesome to watch when it becomes available.
