An occasional series in which, in a bid to further my spotty
knowledge of Japanese wrestling promotions, I watch a recent event and
assess whether or not I'd watch regularly given the time, money and
ability to access.
Promotion: Pro-Wrestling NOAH
Event watched: Navigation With Breeze, Korakuen Hall, May 22nd 2014
What did I know about the promotion going in?: Quite a lot, as it happens. Enough to probably cover the official versions of the history and a couple of things they would want to hide as best as possible. Formed by All Japan ace Mitsuharu Misawa in 2000 after a significant disagreement with its owner, with the assistance of his friends in the AJPW locker room (nearly everyone) and a major television network, the promotion put on some of the biggest shows of the 00s.
