Its great to see Doug Williams wearing some gold in NOAH

The guy is awesome - one of my favourites to watch

Good move here on Misawa's part.

Scorpio is the top gajin of the company, and Doug Williams is a very good one as well. Having them gain the straps will help them. Misawa shouldn't have any titles for a few years now (he will but he shouldn't. Look at Cono... it is very possible not to be champ and be over...)

Ogawa though is another story. I'm a bit tentative about him losing the title here. I fear it means that he'll get the Heavyweight title again...

are you crazy Ogawa was on the verge of crying whenever he had to take a heavy chop from Kobashi. no way he's in the heavy picture

May I remind you that he did held the title for a few months defeating Akiyama?

Misawa's Rat Boy doesn't need talent to get a push
