I have not been a huge fan of this feud and hope it ends here, but Dave said Ishii's health has improved so hopefully this will be the best one

Would you be my new best friends?

Are they not going to intermission now? Kushida's win seemed like a good place to break.

Boredom is always counter-revolutionary. Always.
I hope they give KUSHIDA a long run with the belt and don't send him up to the heavyweights in six months.

I think this is the intermission? at least that's why I took it as my queue to sleep

No this is the promo package for Ishii vs Makabe for the NEVER. Intermission's gonna come after this I'm sure

I don't know when they're going to run KUSHIDA/Ricochet but on the strength of the last 2 Kushida big match performances, it's going to be unbelievable.

They had to rush WK10 to fit within four hours for US PPV, this has no constraints and is probably gonna go LONG with those last two matches

this is a good way to lead into intermission. IWGP Heavy tag will follow intermission, then YTR/Tana, and of course ending with the IC and IWGP heavy macthes

This may be true but I don't like Makabe that much so.

Is this the first time New Japan had a doctor at ringside? Seems unusual for them, but with Makabe somehow managing to drop his entire body on Ishii's shoulder during that one spot, seems logical to have him observe Ishii's injured/non-existant left shoulder.

There was nothing wrong with that match but I really wasn't feeling it, probably because it directly followed the Kushida victory.

Wasn't feeling it. Nowhere near as good as their Dome Match.

Am I seeing that right so that they're going to alternate blocks, so that each G-1 show will only have G-1 matches from either A or B block?

From those reactions it seems like AJ Styles is currently the most over wrestler in Japan.
