Today at Pro Wrestling NOAH’s weekly show Monday Magic, the GHC Hardcore Championship was on the line in a fantastic 3-Way match. The reigning champion Masato Tanaka put his title on the line against Ninja Mack and Super Crazy, and we can say that the match was worthy of the “hardcore” tagline. Every man went to war in that match and endured some of the most grueling bumps we have seen in NOAH’s history.

After an extreme showing of strength and resistance, only one guy stood tall at the end, and it was none other than NOAH’s Ninja, and one of the most interesting foreigners the company has to offer. While Tanaka used his experience in territories like ECW and FMW back in the 90s, Mack was trained to endure the GCW style, which could be even more hardcore, due to their deathmatch influence.

This ended up giving Mack the advantage in terms of the violence he could induct into his opponents. He was also the younger competitor, and seemingly the crowd’s favorite going into this brutal experience. Mack has working with NOAH for months now, and he’s only scratching the surface of his own potential in the company. After the match, Mack announced his return to America as GHC Hardcore Champion.

“I got a call from NOAH after I had a match with Dragon Bane. I think they saw clips of me and Dragon Bane on ‘Wrestling with Unicorns’, and those got over to some of the people in the NOAH’s office. So, that’s when they got sight of me.” Mack said previously in our exclusive interview. We wish nothing but the best of luck for NOAH’s Ninja, and we bet he’s going to do a wonderful job.
