I've never seen my girlfriend so invested in wrestling than with ACH trying to beat up Suzuki.

I believe Chris Jericho can pull 5 stars out of Naito.

4 five star matches to one, I'd say Naito is the one doing the pulling.

Go easy on Jericho, he was in WWE most of his career, it's not like he had many chances

I'm so glad I subscribed again and decided to go the Fire TV route to easily watch this on my TV. The app isn't perfect but it's far preferable to chromecasting from my phone.

Also, Desperado is loving great...? I can never remember enjoying him before, but that match with Hiromu was off the charts. I love these super juniors.

Desperado, Sho, and Hiromu are the people I'd most like to see win the NEVER openweight title right now. Chuck Taylor too, probably.

Despy has been solid forever but his role as the undercard/young lion match tag guy for Suzuki-gun meant he didn't get a lot of chances to show it off. I'm glad he's getting more, with the tournament slot and holding the Jr. Tag titles.

Yeah, I'd like to see a lot more inter-division competition for that belt. We rarely get jr. vs heavy single matches and there are so many I'd love to see. Some kind of openweight round robin tournament would be great too. I get why this doesn't happen from a booking and logistical reason but the hard class divisions prevent a lot of potentially great matches.

There were more matches today, right? How long does it usually take for them to go up when they're house shows?

Also, why does Taiji walk to the ring like he's got a broken foot? Really freaked me out on the second night that he was injured.

There was one earlier today and one tomorrow/late tonight in NA, but neither was live. VOD will be up when they get around to it - it's seemed slower lately.

i'm all caught up on bosj now and honestly yoh is probably the standout of the tournament for me so far, aside from obvious guys like hiromu and ospreay. i didn't expect to be digging his singles stuff this much so soon

also that hiromu/desperado match was as much of a banger as everyone said, goddamn

Yeah I expected to like Sho way better than Yoh, but Yoh's literal baby face gives him a lot of expressions to utilise.

Plus his fringe shorts are awesome.

i liked sho's match with sabin quite a bit but yoh just is really clicking with me so far in this tournament. great look, good babyface fire, offense that looks good but is varied enough to avoid being too formulaic between matches

I've been really liking SHO in this tournament and haven't much cared about YOH so I guess I'm the odd man out here? SHO's had amazing intensity and real high-octane matches so far.
