MassRafTer posted:Tanahashi has to make the finals to lose to Ibushi and elevate him to the status of the 5th Musketeer. He needs two more defenses to tie Tana and three to break the record, right? It would be nice if Ibushi wasn't the next challenger then because I think whoever wins this match really can't beat him. ZSJ, Tanahashi and Ibushi, in that order chronologically, is the most interesting line up to me.

Remember Okada is only thirty so he has more than enough time for another long epic run in the future God he's only 30

Kelly solo on commentary, and Chuckie T's match isn't till later in the card so he probably won't be joining him

Watching it on mute, do they still have Vagrant Song for Makabe? Noticed that the audio copyright text didn't pop up.

David Finlay has joined Kelly on commentary, thankfully. I'll still switch to the Japanese for the two Tournament matches but at least there is some back-and-forth now.

Naito is just going to get himself tapped out in 5 seconds so he doesn't have to deal with the poo poo belt. Then they'll have a non-title match that will go for 2 hours and receive 8 stars

looks like the last time Naito vs Suzuki happened was pre-LIJ, as far as I can see, so a fresh matchup! so maybe the semi-main event at Sakura Genesis, with Okada's defense against the NJC winner as the main?
