905.03.2024sarahlicity9.0The AJPW exodus may have been really bad in the 2000s, but thanks to both companies pulling their weight, we now have two incredibly strong thematic alternatives to NJPW. NOAH has had a consistent level of quality since its inception, and the Ark style of King's Road with a strong-style garnish provides an excellent middle-of-the-road mix. When puro is good, it's really good, and NOAH truly pulls their weight in spades.

1807.01.2024EleceRock9.0There's no better wrestling style nowadays than NOAH's style. The hard hitting, martial arts based strikes with the king road's spirit is always entertaining to watch, so even in a bad show you're almost always going to see at least a couple of entertaining matches in the worst case, and the absolute best bangers if the years in the best. The only defect, that sadly is a big one that I can find in Noah is how they're willing to push any wrestler from more popular companies (like NJPW) over their own homegrown talents, so it can be very frustrating getting invested in guys like Kenoh, Kiyomiya, etc. only to see a foreign wrestler going over them over and over again. I hope the day the booking regime changes this company can shine like they deserve on the japanese wrestling scene again.

2123.12.2023Chris7777.0The talents are there but i have to be brutally honestly, NOAH might be the worst booked promotion of 2023. Getting jabronied by New Japan, Kongo disbanding, Kiyomiya lost in the shuffle, complete silence N1 final crowd, Nakajima going away, it's just too much for me. And don't get me started with the junior division and the tag division, couldn't be more directionless as it is. As long as all the old wrestlers are still here trying to pop the ticket sale, the promotion is never gonna improve as a whole.

3824.09.2023dinosaurjr8.0I genuinely love and will always be fan of NOAH it got me into puro in 2017 and I'll never forget that. However I'd be lying if I said NOAH's booking since go beat nakajima in 2019 has been good it hasn't and it feels like nothing pays off, it's meddling at best and aimless at worst broken down 90's and 00's stars time and time again defeat our homegrown stars and younger talent Kenoh, Kitamiya, Kitomiya failure to elevate Midcard talent like Soya, Inamura, Junta don't even get me started on how jumbled the Junior Division is the best and most interesting decision since go's reign was having Kenoh hold the red belt and defeat all the older shoot stars it gave him a feeling of invincibility like you'd probably have to shoot him to beat him. Tournaments have never been NOAH's strong point but man their at an all time low right now, the tag belts have been made into trinkets since sugiura-gun lost them, It seems like the NOAH roster always looses in every big spot they get, all the older talent are overexposed and quickly loose thier novelty (like fujita, funaki, etc.) NOSAWA's (creative? ) chaotic car crash booking killed my entire intrest in the Junior Division the dg invasion couldn't even bring it back (I liked eita winning the belt tho). The Stars of the 2010's are starting to break down from the mounting injuries (Shiozaki, Marufuji and Sugiura) and while they can still put great matches it's clear thier best days are behind them, Sadly I don't think NOAH is ever gonna go back to how it was before thier success ensures it won't either way when the dust settles I'll still be here.... 7.5/10

4202.09.2023bigfanbigfan9.0From its founding to the death Mitsuharu Misawa, NOAH was the best wrestling promotion in the world. And I think being the best for a near decade is worth a 9. Despite the talent only getting older, NOAH as a continuation of All Japan only became more bombastic and exciting. Strong Jr. Divisions. Tag matches as compelling as the singles matches. Can't recommend that first decade enough. On youtube you can find a 9 hour video of Kobashi's title run, watch it.
4325.08.2023UltraNano548.0In their prime, 2001-2006 I would give them an easy 11/10 as they would be my favorite promotion of all time but sadly they have been really inconsistent and there quality has decreased before finally recently increasing again. While they are currently very good, I would say they are still nowhere near their prime quality.

4609.08.2023jamzell0010.0My favorite promotion ever. The era of Kobashi, Misawa, Akiyama got me into them and the juniors who rose to being the key heavyweights are what kept me invested in them. The roster now doesn't have the star power it used to but the work by a majority of the talent makes up for it. Poor booking and outside factors continue to be its downfall but its the only promotion where I will never drop them for it. I love everything about them through all the highs and lows and I cant say that about any other wrestling promotion. I'm stuck with them forever
4705.08.2023ElMatador9.0NOAH has a solid roster of well established and up and coming Japanese and international names. Shows are well produced, branded and most importantly, heavy on the in ring action. There's a clear effort to reach a more global audience over the last couple of years and that has made for some exciting additions (Jack Morris, Dr Wagner Jnr, Chris Ridgeway, Daga etc.), the formation of interesting units (Stinger., GLG, REAL) and a good number of new and captivating match ups as wrestlers from different backgrounds with different styles clash. Shows are of a consistently high standard and the depth of the roster means match ups and feuds are kept fresh. With some of the most promising young Japanese wrestlers in the world such as Kaito Kiyomiya and Yoshiki Inamura on the roster alongside established superstars like Marufuji, Kenoh, Shiozaki, Nakajima, Sugiura and Ogawa, NOAH is in good hands and I see them continuing to go from strength to strength. A product I enjoy and always look forward to seeing more of.

5217.07.2023showmethemoney959.0probably one of my favorite Promotions in Japan for the amount of different Wrestlers and their unique gimmicks and factions they are in, although they are having a bit of a down year due to Jake Lee being the most boring Champion and HAYATA stinking up the Junior Heavyweight division, Wagner really saving this promotion for me

8029.01.2023ajsmiles10.0Early 2000s NOAH is the best professional wrestling you'll ever see. These days I feel like they've lost a lot of their identity. They feel like diet NJPW right now. I'm going to be grading the golden age of NOAH, which is the stuff that I watched, don't have interest in them nowadays.

8507.01.2023TheDeviantPro7.0Noah has gotten better with pushing younger talent since I rated the promotion a 5, last year. Kiyomiya finally receiving the much deserving push as GHC Heavyweight Champion and Noah has become less reliant on pushing the 50+ age wrestlers over younger talent since late last year. I'm hoping Noah would continue this way and won't go back to pushing has-beens over younger talent.
8625.12.2022Ma Stump Puller8.0NOAH was great in their heyday: not concerned with the MMA bubble (NJPW) or drowning themselves in nostalgia (AJPW, most post-2000 Joshi promotions) but instead trying to reinvent the wheel, using the old guys as house draws to get over the new. The main issues were that Misawa was admittedly not a good booker (kept panic-booking new champions without giving a good try to those already at the top) money troubles, and a general issue of wrestling being more and more niche as time went on. Misawa passing + Yakuza + Go and co leaving for AJPW crippled the company for AGES, in a weird limbo where they had tons of great acts but could not draw to save their life. They've made huge strides in recent years with Go's generally solid big reign and Muto's megastar presence boosting their impact on the scene. Modern NOAH is in a good place where they can rely on solid older acts like Fujita, Kojima, Sugiura, Mochizuki and co to boost the cards while also having a wealth of more fresh lads to also use. It is a bit humorous when people say that NOAH don't push "young talent" and then also say Go (who's 40 and has Randy Orton shoulders) Kenoh (who's 38 and been wrestling for 17 years) and more lads who aren't really young bar Kaito and whatnot. The truth is that every major promotion uses and relies on older acts to push ticket sales: this is the same formula used for early 2000's NOAH, the same for 90's AJPW, etc etc. I think if these same people were around then they would be complaining about the Four Pillars main-eventing and winning everything while "young" talent like Akiyama/Omori/Takayama/Shiga remained in the side-wings. I think for the most part NOAH have handled their older talent fairly well, and with them transitioning away from guys like Muto and co we are really getting bigger and better cards because of the fact they've built a solid foundation off the more established acts. Hell one of their best matches this year was a young act (Kaito) going over a solid older star (Hideo) and that really paved what their mission was here.

8816.12.2022Jordan Impact9.0While not at the amazingly standard of NOAH? s glory years it is still a fantastic promotion that put on some great wrestling especially this year and they look to continue from strength to strength in 2023 and I look forward to more.

9923.08.2022Groza8.0As someone who grew up with 90s wrestling, NOAH is absolutely fascinating to me. Not much in the way of gimmicks or backstage antics. The focus is on the in-ring product. You don't even see many matches go outside the ropes. There's a purist approach here that is really refreshing. Lots of striking, submissions, and probably a higher suplex-per-match count than most promotions. The crowds are smart. The English commentary is solid. The production value of the broadcast is great. The roster is where I hesitate to give out a 9. They've got great headlining stars, promising young talent, and venerable pros with decades of experience. But they're booked really strangely at times. As others have stated - some of the veterans of the company don't want to take Ls to the young guys, even though the young guys are slowly creeping into their 30s and hitting that window where they should be carrying the company. We might be seeing a shift in that approach here in the back half of 2022 but there's work to be done before NOAH can live up to the 00s when it was hands down the best wrestling on the planet. A very strong 8, with upside, and a no-brainer for people curious if a Wrestle Universe subscription is worth it.
