Episode 19: FWA NOAH Limits 20 years on

The Morecambe Wrestling Podcast

Wednesday, 25 June 2025 - 1 hour 8 minutes

This month marks the 20th anniversary of a momentous night in Morecambe Wrestling history, the night when Pro Wrestling NOAH - one of Japan's top promotions - came to The Dome. For the first time ever, or since, the GHC tag team titles changed hands in the UK and it happened in a little seaside town on the North West coast. Greg Lambert, who was there that night, and SilentMark, who knows next to nothing about Japanese wrestling, take a look at the historic events of June 18 2005.
