Noah likes to run alot of the older guys in the openers. I dreaded these matches. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi was one of those guys I fast forwarded through. These days, Kikuchi is adding alot of humor and some much needed personality to a generally stoic roster of players with a stodgy and old school booking concept in place. So at least Kikuchi is making his time on my TV worthwhile because he is entertaining me.
The whole card is semi-comedy matches mixed with technical stuff. Almost everyone was dressed up for Christmas. Now I saw this about a month ago and am posting this now, but there was nothing on this show that made it stand out as a Christmas show. Hustle and the WWE had better Christmas shows. So did NOAH in Decemeber. But not this show. This was just fun & games and I’m not a fan of watching NOAH wrestlers do comedy.
