Скачать или смотреть Freedom and Faith: Pro Wrestling NOAH Beyond the Green Mat

The greatest, most dramatic story All Japan ever told wasn't one that played out in the ring. It was the one that happened when the cameras went off, when loyalty was tested and an empire split in two. That exodus, led by the stoic Mitsuharu Misawa, created Pro Wrestling NOAH. It was the ultimate sequel to the King's Road era—a story of freedom, faith, and the tragic consequences that followed. Chronicling that saga is a monumental task, and that's why we're so proud to present Jonathan Foye's Freedom and Faith: Pro Wrestling NOAH Beyond the Green Mat.

This isn't a simple retelling of five-star matches. Freedom and Faith is the kind of deep, unflinching history that those old internet communities would have dissected for months. Jonathan Foye goes beyond the green mat, deep into the backroom deals that led to the exodus, the Yakuza scandal that nearly crippled the company, and the heartbreaking tragedy of Misawa's death in the ring. It is an unauthorized account, rich with research and firsthand interviews, that treats the subject with the seriousness it deserves—exploring not just the glory, but the controversy that defined NOAH's incredible voyage.

Hybrid Shoot isn't an imprint of a Big Five publisher. In fact, we have no institutional support at all. These are books by people who love combat sports for people who love combat sports. We are funding this book with your help. To be frank, we make more money selling them directly to you. No need to make Jeff Bezos or Messieurs Barnes and Noble any richer. Instead, why not help fund independent artists and writers, people devoted to preserving the history of the niche and the weird?

We'd love it if you were part of the movement. Support our Indiegogo campaign today and help us tell the story of wrestling's greatest exodus.
