I love that the whole Goto-Ibushi promo was simple enough to understand that you don't actually need to watch the English stream and expose yourself to Callis' drivel.

I love the idea that these guys beating the poo poo out of Suzuki means he's going to give them a promotion.

Also the ZSJ/Taichi v Ishii/Yano match was really good.

Considering that WK is going to have Naito/Jericho 2, Omega/Tanahashi, Goto/Ibushi and Okada/Switchblade it's going to have competition.

normally this isn't a tour i'd recommend people watch unless they were already inclined but that was a fun well paced card that built to a couple dome matches and had a solid main event. EVIL's really starting to get over

I mean, we're only one round in, but only surprise in the table is TenCozy losing. I know Nagata and Nakanishi team pretty regularly, but I just figured that Tenzan and Kojima were seen as the more the legit team, and the legit teams have been going over the makeshift pairs.

They’re all Third Generation guys, Tenzan is pretty part time and Kojima was banged up earlier in the year. It’s possible.

12 midnight local time on a Sunday evening is a perfectly cromulent time to do backend updates.

Goto absolutely nailing Kota's psychology and exploiting it was loving hilarious. The way Kota freaked out about not getting attention anymore was incredible.

This is the face of a winner. This is what winning looks like.
You know what? If this leads to Kota becoming Openweight champion then I'm ok with this.

If it leads to him vs. Ospreay then :gonk::fh:

I'm 99.9% sure that's where this is going. Why do the match on a tag league show otherwise?

Goto wanted to defend at the Dome against a worthy opponent, namedropped Kota, then kept nagging him about it when Kota said no. Finally got the yes after he said he accepted Kota’s no’s and wouldn’t bug him/give him attention anymore

GEORGE W BUSHI
Jul 1, 2012

the defence is at the tag league finals though so we could still be getting Ibushi/Ospreay at WK13.

Chris James 2

Oh, I thought it was for the Dome. Even that video posted has Kota saying he’s got nothing else to do there otherwise. Also wasn’t sure if Ospreay was any closer to being cleared yet

My favorite part about the post-match comment from Goto - Kota is that Kota starts pretending like he's the one who tricked Goto into the match. :allears:

Hmm. I wonder what they have in mind for Goto for WK, then?

Minoru Suzuki also doesn't seem to have an obvious singles match brewing. I hope they don't just redo Suzuki vs Goto, as awesome as that match was at WK12.

They can drop the 6-mans at the WTL finals or Road to Tokyo Dome, that's what EVIL, Sanada and Bushi did last year before EVIL and Sanada went to fight for the tag belts at WK12.
