2 Top Japanese Promotions Merge To Form CyberFight

NOAH and DDT will come together as CyberFight on 1 September. Per company officials, this is being done to "fortify the business/economic foundation of the company" and may be driven by the ongoing global health crisis. It was stated that that the two promotions shall be operated as "business divisions" within CyberFight, with president Sanshiro Takagi stating that the respective in-ring products won't be affected, adding the he hopes to increase behind-the-scenes efficiency following the merger.

Takagi is joined on the CyberFight management team by NOAH's Naomichi Marufuji and Akito of DDT, who will serve as Executive Vice Presidents. The group aims to run a show in the Tokyo Dome someday.

Fukking COVID. I was genuinely enjoying NOAH. Don't want to mix it up with that stank ass comedy troupe. It was supposed to be a reborn

Edit: Well, its supposed to be just a business affair, and all the companies will keep operating as-is. Good. For now.

Invasion angle incoming. No way DDT and NOAH will stay separated.

 

[TheGodling]

NOAH/DDT is about to be like BJW except instead of shytty death matches they'll have comedy fukkery matches.

I wasn't watching either way though.

what did Jun know and when to make the DDT jump when he did

 

[Jmare007]

At least Takeshyta gonna get the chance to work people like Sugi and Go

Big Boss Sugi + DDT fukkery though





Doesn't read like both companies are merging though. I guess they'll wait and see how sharing talent works and if it goes to shyt they'll just kill NOAH.

Okadas announcement has something to do with the World Title. The speculation is either a multiman match or tournament to break up the dual title holder concept

Okada will announce @The Rainmaker as his new manager and will invade BJW. Deathmatch with Abby Kobashi and Strong match with Young Gawd back to back nights.

Seems they are still building to an EVIL vs Naito rematch..

 

[The Rainmaker]

Maybe he isn't interested in some bogus double/triple title because he's going for the real one. Maybe he'll participate in Champions Carnival, win that shyt and then challenge Suwama for the Triple Crown.

That's what I'm saying, re establish NJPW as the King of Sports and do what Tanahashi couldn't do in 08'
