Yoshinari Ogawa article database

Obviously if you type in "Ogawa" into the search engine of the blog (which is not the best), you will find more articles than the below. The below is a collection of articles specifically about Ogawa which deal with either his contribution to Noah or his All Japan days. You might also like to do a CTRL F search for Ogawa on "Donmai, Donmai" as it contains some interesting stories which take place outside the ring, and also the sadly incomplete "Heir to The Ark". Another resource I recommend is "TheFourPillars1" which is dedicated to Baba era All Japan. 

If you are looking for anything in specific and cannot find it, please let me know.

Other notes

Noah and All Japan: When Genichiro Tenryu wrestled in Noah, he said that it was like Baba's All Japan in the way that the wrestlers moved and the sound they made when they took moves. This very important to Baba. He credited this to Yoshinari Ogawa and Jun Akiyama.

March 2019

Some junior high school children asked YO-HEY & Ogawa for signatures (Noah aren't meant to sign anything other than merchandise), but Ogawa, seeing that they were little kids and without money to buy merchandise said, "lets do it", and they signed the paper the kids bought with them.
