Note: If you look through the 2001 results, you'll see "Buy" links next to shows. These are external links to Highspots and are an easy, non-intrusive way of finding shows. The majority of 2001 non-SXW/ISM/PPV (which are also there) "Buy" links to TV tapings are to *unedited* satellite versions of shows (2:00 to 2:30 usually, longer for Dome shows), rather than the 60 minute national show, which for obvious reasons are clipped up a lot.

Jun Akiyama returned at today's NOAH show after resting an injury suffered at the Tokyo Dome on 1/4.
