GREAT VOYAGE 2024 in NAGOYA, the late-winter edition of Pro Wrestling NOAH’s signature event series, is in the books.
Today’s event was held at Nagoya Congress Center in Nagoya and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese and English. As usual with the big events, this was an ABEMA exclusive broadcast so the live stream was English only outside Japan and edited/clipped at the start and end. You can also watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube, No Stewart Fulton on English commentary today, just regular co-host Mark Pickering and, when he wasn’t doing his day job, now-full time NOAH ring announcer G-Man.
The announced paid attendance was 809. It didn’t look like they used the full capacity setup for the venue, which is 3000, but even if they used the smaller Event Hall (1800) or the even smaller third vemue space (1400), this still sounds like their usual weak big event numbers.
