Only just catching up, but I really liked the 6 Man with Chaos against Juice, Finlay and Hanare.

Jay White deserves a full apology from everyone who refused to breathe with the Switchblade for doing the impossible and making David Finlay interesting.

Ishii/Henare should be great assuming they're building to a match in the New Japan Cup or something.

CHAOS is still weird to me. So Knife Pervert and Ishii are just heel as gently caress or what?

the knife pervert is very heelish, ishii is acting consistent with his fan favorite character

Switchblade is literally only a member of CHAOS for backup when he has to fight Bullet Club. He has open disdain for his stablemates and they just team with him because they don't want to disappoint the man who makes it rain money. Once Bullet Club is under Cody control and a complete non-threat, Jay White will just turn on his team like he's been saying he will do form the start.

Switchblade is also agitating against Okada even within the stable. He was trying to get SHO and YOH on his side by asking why Okada wasn't offering them a shot at Ospreay.

I can actually see Sanada beating Okada for an out of nowhere switch and that Tag match sold me on it. Sanda's countering Okada's Skullend into a Rainmaker with a Rainmaker was so good. And Okada sold it like it killed him

That match has been announced but I think it's for Adelaide.

Is this a sign that Omega is gonna end up with the Tongans backing him? That'd be a surprising but sensible twist.

Does anyone care about GoD at all, really? Tama has all the physical ability in the world but the most invested I ever got in a match of his was when he was against loving YTR of all people.

I feel like Tama had a good match with SANADA in the G1, even if the key spot was obvious (Skull End/Gun Stun/Tongan Twist counters)

Tama Tonga is a good midcard guy who stands out with a unique style but will never blow you away. Also he is very handsome and I like when he and his brother say "gently caress."

The Tongans drat well better side with Kenny because Cody is the most recent BC member and he hasn't done jackshit. Fale and Tama are the only OGs left, so I'd hope they side with history.

The key spot was actually Tama trying and failing to put the Paradise Lock on Sanada

After watching this press conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFyVBQavd7Q Tama seems like he might not side with either Kenny or Cody and take over Bullet Club himself

So what do you all think of this Henare kid? He's got good fire and his moveset of just running into people is pretty fun to watch.

You got em backwards. The other way of remembering them is Sho starts with S and so does suplex. Yoh starts with yo and so does, "Yo did you see that dope suplex my partner did?"

I really hope he has a nice mini-feud with Ishii that might even have an upset somewhere in the mix.

I don't think that'll matter, it'll still be JR and Barnett.

For the G1 Special last year, night 1 was aired live on AXS and night 2 was on NJPW World, but the commentators for both nights were JR and Barnett.

If given a choice, I will always go with the local language option. It doesn't feel right otherwise.
