History
On January 1, 2023, at The New Year, Jake Lee, who had recently left All Japan Pro Wrestling after his contract expired, made his debut for Pro Wrestling Noah, confronting Jack Morris after the latter's match against Timothy Thatcher, before congratulated him on his victory, with the two forming a team.[2] On January 19, Lee and Morris announced the creation of the "Good Looking Guys" stable alongside Anthony Greene. The three underwent their first official match as a unit on January 22, 2023, at The Great Muta Final "Bye-Bye" where they defeated Masa Kitamiya, Daiki Inaba and Yoshiki Inamura in a six-man tag team match.[3] At NOAH Sunny Voyage 2023 on February 4, Jack Morris and Jake Lee picked up a victory over then-time GHC Heavyweight Champion Kaito Kiyomiya and Yoshiki Inamura. Morris scored the pin over Kiyomiya and challenged him to a title match on further notice.[4] On the first night of the Noah Star Navigation 2023 from February 5, Lee, Morris and Greene fell short to Kaito Kiyomiya, Naomichi Marufuji and Takashi Sugiura.[5] At Noah Great Voyage in Osaka 2023 on February 12, Kiyomiya successfully defended the GHC Heavyweight Championship against Morris, just to be laid a challenge by Jake Lee the same night.[6][7] On the second night of the Star Navigation event from March 9, 2023, Jake Lee and Anthony Greene defeated Kaito Kiyomiya and Atsushi Kotoge in tag team action.[8] At Noah Great Voyage in Yokohama 2023 on March 19, Jack Morris and Anthony Greene outmatched Naomichi Marufuji and El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., and Jake Lee defeated Kaito Kiyomiya to win the GHC Heavyweight Championship. On the same night it was also revealed that Tadasuke defected from Kongo (professional wrestling) to join the unit and YO-HEY was also presented as a new member.[9] At Noah Green Journey in Sendai 2023 on April 16, Anthony Greene defeated Daishi Ozawa in singles competition, Tadasuke and YO-HEY defeated Yoshinari Ogawa and Eita to become the new GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, Jack Morris unsuccessfully challenged El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. for the GHC National Championship and Jake Lee secured his first defense of the GHC Heavyweight Championship on that respective reign.[10] He then received a title challenge from Naomichi Marufuji for Noah Majestic 2023 on May 4.[11]
