    I dig it. They could afford to build up someone like ZSJ, and they probably don't have much for Naito at the moment.

    That match put ZSJ way up there for me. I've liked him and everything, but this match was something else.

    They've been putting Okada's sub over pretty big over the course of the tournament. Makes me think ZSJ could be going all the way here

    The crowd doesn't buy the cobra clutch at all. I think that is something that should have been established years ago. Doing it now is tough.

    Memories are nice, but that's all they are. Prestigious

    I still think Tanahashi is winning it. That match would be the record setting title defense for Okada right?

    I think ZSJ is definitely going all the way. That crowd was HOT for Sanada though.

    Man, I fucking loved that Yano/SANADA match. Watching ZSJ/Ibushi now.

    ZSJ IS GOING OVER
     
  11. I hope Sabre wins it.

    He’d be the first gaijin to win in over a decade and his path to winning would be Naito, Ibushi, Sanada and Tanahashi. Pretty nuts if they do it.

    I'm honestly 100% on board with ZSJ taking the belt off of Okada. Like, the booking of ZSJ has just been so perfect so far and I feel like this would be a genius Gedo move.

    Meltz and Alvarez have been saying it all week. Page and White have a super tough spot (second to last) and it is going to take a lot to get the crowd over on it. Hope they can pull it off.

    Looking at the card, I wonder if they're gonna do a big angle tonight with the BC where it's basically just torn apart.

    The card is so darn underwhelming
     
  21. Yeah I agree.

    Golden Lovers and Bucks will be good. Hangman and Knife Pervert has potential.

    Any match with Dragon Lee and Takahashi will be very good. But overall this is weak as hell.

    Maybe they’ll announce the rumored mid summer US event and that’ll be more stacked.
     
  22. kind of sucks I can't watch this live with my NJPW sub ugh

    I want Okada's bellbottoms to go away. I really have no idea how he drops this belt.
