Jason of Happy Wrestling Land is back with us to review and discuss one of Pro Wrestling NOAH's most storied events of its past: Noah Destiny from July 18, 2005 at the Tokyo Dome.

We wanted to bring you an episode that not only covers the main event singles match between Katsuhiko Nakajima and Kento Miyahara at Pro Wrestling NOAH's One Night Dream event on July 15, but extensive discussion around the build to this historic confrontation going back to Muto's retirement show in February. We also examine the roles the media and external figures have played in shaping what we know of the Diamond Ring story and the alleged "feud" between Nakajima and Kento.

For your professional translation needs, we highly recommend Kana.
