Pro Wrestling Noah

 This is one of my personal favorite wrestling promotions and honestly along with Ring of Honor, really brought me back to loving pro wrestling again back in the 2000s and that is the Emerald green company from Japan, Pro Wrestling Noah.

Now the first time that I had ever heard of Noah was thanks in large part of Ring of Honor in the mid 2000s due to both companies were having a working agreement.

But I soon learned that this company much like ROH, was a young, recently formed company back in 2000 after several wrestlers led by Mitsuharu Misawa (RIP) left All Japan Pro Wrestling and formed Noah.

The name Pro Wrestling Noah comes from the biblical story of Noah where humans and animals survived on the Ark during the flood and make a new beginning of the world. In fact, the original logo of Noah was an Ark holding a dove which had an olive branch.

What I love about Pro Wrestling Noah was their hard hitting style. Everything felt so real and the matches were incredible. There wasn't these complicated stories you see nowadays, Noah's style, aka King's Road were more straight to the point and the matches were used to tell the story and more importantly, the championships mattered.

Some of my favorite highlights of the company was the great match between Misawa and Kenta Kobashi in 2003 where Kobashi defeated Misawa for the GHC Heavyweight title. From there on Kobashi went on such a run as champion that I dare say is one of if not the greatest title runs of all time. Kobashi held onto the title from 2003 to 2005.

Unfortunately, things don't last forever as in 2009, Misawa lost his life after an accident in the ring. To this very day, he is surely missed and I dare say that he has a solid case to be named the greatest pro wrestler of all time. Of course, this is just my humble opinion.

The company also faced plenty of other issues for the next couple of years especially after losing their leader. 

But I am so happy and proud with how they were able to battle and keep the company afloat and remain one of the best companies going today.

Some of my personal favorites to watch in Noah are Go Shiozaki, Kaito Kiyomiya, Naomichi Marufuji and Takashi Sugiura.

Of course, there were plenty of alumni who I loved to watch back in the day. Guys like Misawa, Kobashi, Jun Akiyama, KENTA, etc. These guys really helped bring back my lost love for pro wrestling and I really think you all should check them out.

King's Road shall live forever, in Pro Wrestling Noah!

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe!🙏🙏🙏

Lewistown Area High School Class of 2009

 I can't believe it has been 15 years since me and Chad have graduated from Lewistown Area High School back in 2009. High school was a very interesting time for not just myself, but for many of us who had attended, mainly because usually times at high school is the time of getting to know ones self and discover who they are and what there place is in this world. Being a teenage to becoming a young adult can be very challenging to a lot of people during this time in life. Especially with dealing with all sorts of different emotions that we didn't understand before. Sadly, there are also a lot of young people who struggled to figure things out during their time in high school and I was certainly one of those people.  I mention this because recently I found and looked back through my yearbook when I graduated from Lewistown and it was pretty cool to see some old faces especially now that I am older and learned so much about myself. The only problem about this is I wish I knew what

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting
