Coming up on May 30th, Pro Wrestling NOAH was going to host a tribute show for the late Mitsuharu Misawa. It has been 12 years since the former 3-time GHC Heavyweight Champion passed away.
NOAH made the announcement today that due to certain areas of Japan being under a state of emergency because of rises in COVID cases, the 5/30 show has been cancelled. It was a decision that was made by the Ota City General Gymnasium as the building is now temporarily unavailable for use.
