Ibushi vs ZSJ was probably my favorite match in last year's G1 outside of the block finals and tournament final, and definitely my favorite one that wasn't the main event of its night. I'm looking forward to the rematch so much

Can Zack Sabre counter a balcony moonsault into some sort of submission hold?

Pretty funny that a fighting game competition guy is taking a bigger risk on NJPW than NJPW did

I don't know Zack's opinions on the lovely Brummie grindcore pioneers/death metal bighitters, but that is a reference to a Stewart Lee bit, which confirms my theory that ZSJ is my Platonic ideal of a wrestler.

Feel like a good 40% of Chuckie's offense in NJPW is people running at him in the corner.

Well if everyone in NJPW has the "Run at the corner" spot it makes sense that he'd work to counter all of them.

Was that Chuck's first singles match in new Japan? Bit of a trial by fire jumping into a 20 min main event.

Good showing by Chuck. LIJ had to have some representation in the quarter-finals though.

Ibushi has the hardest road to the Finals it looks like. SANADA has Yano next which should be fun. I feel like we'll get Elgin vs. Tanahashi and Ibushi vs. SANADA as the semi-finals. Then Ibushi vs.Tanahashi finals.

Off day tomorrow, 2nd round begins Wednesday with Tana vs Fale and Juice vs. Elgin.

I'm still getting caught up on matches but I was not prepared for main event Taichi. That match was crazy.

One of my anti-internet wrestling buddies was just telling me how Tanahashi can't go anymore and I just chuckled.

how does dbs jr have two awful ring gear choices

how does he simultaneously use the tightest, tightest jeans i've ever seen on a man that big, jeans that turn his legs into basically immobile sticks, and then a big baggy white diaper when he's not wearing the jeans.

have you seen how he dresses outside the ring? The man is the anti-SANADA

And Milano giving his critique on the failed Paradise Lock was the best part of the show.

I just got caught up on the New Japan Cup and at this point, my hope is that the finals come down to Tanahashi and ZSJ, so ZSJ can rip Tanahashi's arm clean out of the socket and he can finally take the time off until he's healed the G1 Dontaku the Road To Dontaku shows.

I'm really pleased that he wanted to pay tribute to his dad and of all the choices, went with his No Mercy attire.

Hopefully he levels up and gets some drat braids next.

I don’t know what world required a 20 minute Yano match against a dude who wasn’t really much fun to do all the Yano tricks on. His G1 Run was a delight, but this FELT long.

I am god damned HERE for the Taichi push though. Go on you Theatre Nerd, be your best self
