I hope that Hiromu sunset bombs Flip Gordon right though the earth and out the other side.

Also weird that the first Golden Lovers match since the reunion is on a bullshit ROH card.

weirder that their first match together has CHASE OWENS as a loving gooseberry.

Also Chuckie T having to team with Switchblade after making him a figure of ridicule with the knife pervert stuff is cosmic justice.

If the alignment were different it should have been Chucky T but he's in CHAOS. Would have much preferred Golden Lovers of Low Moral Fiber instead of Chase being thrown in

they wrestled War Machine at this event last year, but coupled with them taking on Okada and Ishii on the Australian tour and their agitating to move up, I think it's on the cards.

I'm down for a Henare and Kitamura tag team. Kitamura can shout and flex while no-selling poo poo and then Henare runs at a motherfucker really fast.

Edit: Also I just realized we're going to get Kitamura doing a suplex or something to Bad Luck Fale :getin:

Scurll, Liger, and Cheeseburger are also doing HW stuff so I think it is more of an ROH has no weight classes thing than a Bucks are for sure moving up thing.

The most recent Being The Elite has a segment with Cody encouraging The Bucks to move up to heavyweight. I genuinely hope the Beer City Bruiser becomes the next NEVER Openweight Champion. Here's me reading too much into these cards: With Chase Owens teaming with the Golden Lovers, and the Young Bucks teaming with Hangman Page, it leads me to think the Bullet Club will split with Kenny, Ibushi, Yujiro & the Tongans in one group, and Cody, The Bucks, Page, and Marty in the other.

Stuff like this makes me wonder if there will be 3 factions in the future: The OG BC with the Tongans/Fale/Yujiro, The Elite with Kenny/Ibushi/Bucks (??), and Cody/Page/Scurll as.. Villain Club? RoH club?. Kenny & Cody obviously are going at each other but Tama seems fed up with both of them.

I'm also surprised that Scurll is teaming with Cody if for no other reason than on BTE he still seems torn between the two.

Also for the Aussie shows they advertise Kenny and GoD as the Bullet Club and Cody and the Bucks as the Elite.

All red herrings I think.

Marty's probably just hoping that if he goes along with Cody long enough he can convince him to drop everything and hug it out :(

I'm sure behind the scenes they have a roadmap done, and that Gedo probably knows at least what he wants to see in G1 and the next Wrestle Kingdom, if only so that ROH can handle their kayfabe properly and so that All In can head the right direction too. But in all likelihood they're all reacting to the booking instead of deciding it. NJPW is much different to WWE in that what's said around the edges isn't as vital (and of course isn't shown on TV nearly as often) but it also doesn't matter so much as long as it gets to the match. That's the latitude the BC and Elite guys have had to essentially create this kayfabe show -- the story details aren't as precious as they would be for ROH or WWE because it's presented much more as sports than in the U.S.

I was fairly amused that for the Young Bucks' first future vision, they somehow were allowed to spoil the literal main event of Supercard of Honor on their Youtube show, but for SSE, all they got to show was a road sign. I'm not surprised NJPW is a little bit tighter with those details than RoH. :v:

That would probably be because the Bucks are much bigger stars to ROH than they are to New Japan.

That said that Golden Comeback doc literally has a question that references BTE, and there's still a month and a half until SSE, so they might actually announce something through Nick's FANTASTICAL VISIONS OF THE FUTURE.
