[Edit]^^^^ this is the second match post-intermission, first was Mao-chan's handler vs Honma.

Elgin, I feel your hairline issues bruh.

Also Elgin vs Ishii is what (in theory) I want from NJPW most. Give it to me.

is it wrong to peg Naito and Elgin as the guys who had their stock rise the most after G-1 from their respective blocks

Elgin definitely, he is over big

We'll have to see where Naito goes from here though, he got the big wins but losing to literally all of the geek squad hurts. At least they did better with him than Shibata or loving Ibushi, who is supposed to be the next big thing. A block! :argh:

Makes sense to me. Naito had a bit of a weak end but still beat both Tana and AJ and seems more interesting than he's ever been in the company. I was one of those people who were kinda down on Elgin's inclusion and holy poo poo am I happy to be wrong.

Aside from the Honma match Ishii was the opposite of Naito. He lost to Nakamura and the two champions and beat everyone else.

I think it would be pretty hilarious (though maybe a pretty terrible booking idea) if Anderson won and then went nuts trying to interfere in Nakamura/Okada so there had to be some kind of run-off match for the final spot.

Actually by the transitive property, Nagata beat Goto who beat Okada, therefore Nagata should get a World Title shot!

Elgin has 8 though from beating Nagata, Yujiro, Honma, and technically Shinsuke via forfeit.

Seems like they did a bunch of new trons during the G1, Kojima's has shots of him rearranging Elgin's jawline.

Shinsuke definitely hasn't been at his best in this tournament thanks to the injury, but that Goto match showed he can still put on a good one and let's hope this delivers.
