KUSHIDA's really loving impressed me the two times I've seen him wrestle live and all of Ricochet's big singles matches this year that I've seen have been fantastic.

Watching day 2 matches on dailymotion. Taichi's new gimmick of lipsyncing rules.

Shame that's the only non PPV Samurai card. EDIT: Been a while since I've heard it thanks to Ustream rights, but didn't Taichi's theme used to not have any vocals?

Reminder that the second Ustream card from Korakuen is tomorrow morning. Belltime's 5:30 AM EDT/ 2:30 AM PDT/ 10:30 BST quote:Card Wouldn't shock me if the Bullet Club multiman is split up into two different matches like on Day 2 to make up for the Koslov/Dorada match not being able to happen due to Alex's injury.

It's kinda mindblowing though that they actually had a nominally higher attendance for Day 2, that building looked so tiny and indie. Best match was Omega/Desperado, check that one opt at least. The rest of the show like the rest of the tour has been fun and easy to watch but nothing necessarily must see. Thauros fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Jun 3, 2014 |

Watching this and last year's G-1 at the same time is instructive in how inflexible they are in booking tournaments. A few top guys guys start out 0-2 or 1-3, a few underdogs start out 2-0 or 3-1, and each group has half its guys clustered with the same # of points. And hope no one gets hurt because that fucks it all up.

I just found this thread so I'm assuming, but unless he had a booking elsewhere and missed a flight (seems unlikely), I can't imagine why else he'd forfeit.

Yeah, Koslov dislocated his shoulder in his match with Ricochet on the very first day and had to withdraw from the tournament.

I won't be updating the thread in the morning since I'd like to watch it unspoiled if possible, but if anyone wants to know they're welcome to check Strong Style Spirit and post the results if they want.

quote:NJPW, 6/6/14 (Samurai! TV) quote:Block A: Alex Shelley won Block B of the Best of the Super Jr. today but in doing so became the second wrestler (after Koslov) to injure his shoulder badly this tour. Subsequently, after all his hard work Shelley will forfeit his spot in the semi final meaning Taguchi and Taichi move up to 1st and 2nd respectively. Block A was won by KUSHIDA, who has had a strong BOSJ as he looks to take the next step in the junior division. KUSHIDA will face Taichi in the semis while Taguchi meets Ricochet, whose hugely impressive debut tour sees him in the semis.

Unfortunately I'm probably more excited for a few of the tag matches than either of the BOSJ matches. Still a good looking card for $20 though.

Ishii in the ring with the Bucks is gonna be a must-watch. Sucks to be Kenny too, pretty sure he would have made the semis if Shelley's match had been on before his. Really hoping he comes back before next year.

oatgan posted:six inches Hey, this is a pretty big show (not Big Show, who we've heard can't satisfy his wife) Uh, the Korakuen cards started at 5:30 and were over in plenty of time for me to get ready for work and leave a little after 9. This is probably going to be longer than that, though I wouldn't expect one of the mega cards. epitasis posted:wait are the Forever Hooligans in CHAOS Yep, always have been since they've been a team, and the No Remorse Corps (Rocky/Davey) were before that.
