Pro Wrestling NOAH (2000)

Pro Wrestling NOAH is a Japanese professional wrestling promotion, founded in 2000 following a mass exodus of All Japan Pro-Wrestling (AJPW) staff led by Mitsuharu Misawa. In many ways based as a spiritual successor to AJPW and Giant Baba's legendary "King's Road" style, it has been a consistently major part of the Japanese puroresu market, even having international cross-overs and working agreements, most notably with American companies WWE and Ring of Honor (ROH). It is currently owned and operated by Japanese conglomerate CyberAgent, who also operate DDT Pro-Wrestling and Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling (TJPW), and are minority owners of New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW).
