TripleSEM


TripleSEM was a professional wrestling major show event produced in cooperation between Pro Wrestling Noah and AAA World Wide|AAA] on September 3, 2007, held in Tokyo, Japan and shown live on Gaora TV. The show is so far the only joint NOAH/AAA promoted show, but as the companies still work together there is potential for further joint shows in the future. The show was held under NOAH's "Pro Wrestling SEM" banner, a subdivision of NOAH dedicated to training younger wrestlers. The main event saw Los Hell Brothers wrestle to a no contest against Mushiking Terry, Naomichi Marufuji and Ricky Marvin.
