well, this has been a let down so far after the amazing Sumo Hall triple shot last week. Hopefully this improves

This match already rules.

Edit: That was the ending I hoped for, Ospreay vs KUSHIDA should be a bigger match with more build.

Ultimo Guerrero who's a big star in CMLL and is good when he puts forth the effort and his less impressive stablemates Gran Guerrero and Euforia. He lost his mask in a huge Anniversary main event to Atlantis a couple years ago.

If you didn't know Caristico is the original Mistico who was the first Sin Cara in WWE.

Young Bucks beat MCMG, called out the Briscoes and say they want to add the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Titles to their collection. I wonder if that means actually combining the two?

I'm glad they were able to revive Alex's corpse after that Young Bucks match so he could give KUSHIDA his jacket :)

That was a pretty good show, but I'm still not sure what the point of bringing back the Super J Cup was???

Yeah it was fun but two shows felt like a rush job, and a month apart meant I'd pretty much forgotten all the previous match-ups anyway, especially since the G1 took place in-between.

Still, I'm always up for seeing KUSHIDA main event.

Putting the jr ace over is actually a pretty cool use for the tourney imo but they really took a questionable route to get there.

Also, sadly my fears of this being a bomb at the gates were accurate. They only drew 3,041 to an arena that's sized similar to Sumo Hall. To put it in perspective they drew over 1k more people to a G1 card in the midsized Machida Gym.

It's not that kind of test.
Holy poo poo that suplex on the apron in the finals.

Some good matches in there and worth a watch, but nothing mind blowing. Nice to see KUSHIDA finally getting put over huge this year after the stop-and-start booking last year.
