NOAH "THE FIRST NAVIGATION 2010" GLOBAL TAG LEAGUE Results Jan. 9th, 2009.

It is being reported that Akihiko Ito is going to be out of the ring due to "bad health" complications. This is starting to become a little outrageous at the moment. This is the time NOAH needs the young stars, but everyone is getting either injured or sick.
