It should really be stressed that another thing about Ibushi is he hates necks. Especially his own.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

He was in a segment with Tanahashi once where they were supposed to be drawing something on sketchpads, Kota couldn't figure out how his pen worked. Eventually Tana opened the pen for him, he was trying to remove the wrong side of it

Tana was absolutely convinced it was a bit while Ibushi kept insisting it wasn't

The Elite shouldn’t have told Ibushi about Blood And Guts, but instead conspired to lure him to the ring and trap him in the cage, so he can just start wrestling out of pure instinct, like when this happened:

I like to think this sort of things happens to him several times a day and he’s never ever questioned why it keeps happening.

Now that it's official, I definitely want to see Kota get Skinamaring-ed in the space between the two Blood and Guts rings.

My question is the Dark Order subplot - where is it going. Does it factor into the ending? Or do we get a definitive blowoff to the bcc stuff and then Hangman feuds with the dark order? Or it goes nowhere and they were just used as props in the bcc feud.

We hear from Dark Order on Rampage and I’m excited to see what groundwork they lay for their next chapter. I assume they won’t factor into Blood & Guts and are effectively done with Hanger for now since they got the big win last week.

Like StarkRavingMad says:

My favourite part about that story is that Ibushi tweeted through it without bothering to text Kenny, so Kenny's mentions get blown up by people telling him that Ibushi is having some issues and he needs to be collected. Kenny said these sort of calamities only befall Ibushi when they aren't travelling together (i.e. when Kenny is around to make sure Ibushi doesn't drop his passport in the lake and lose his wallet to a bird). Kenny says that they found his wallet at least.

Ah I can see that.

And as for Moxley he should do like doctors offices and get a paper detailing all the permissions he needs, laminate the paper, have someone sign and date it, take a picture, then erase it for the next time.

Most of the ban list I think I'm fine with, some of it I expect they'll keep doing anyway because lol, the "clear it with the coaches" seems more like "let's try not to do a DVD on the apron in every match tonight"

Hopefully I'll have that
problem someday.
I've explained to my friend (only watched WWF in the 80s/90s) that Ibushi is a pro wrestling Goku. Absolutely devastating in fighting, takes high risks with no hesitation, trains to physical perfection and then surpasses it. But also you can clearly see there's no brain matter behind his eyeballs when it comes to anything outside of fighting.

Along with that primer I also sent my friend the classic DDT KOD Openweight Title match Ibushi vs. Yoshihiko (2015) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LApVz53Spw
