There hasn't a lot of hype for this card and a lot of that is due to the fact that there's absolutely zero suspense to the top two matches. Yes, we all know that Okada and Omega are going to win and set up the main event to Wrestle Kingdom 11. On the bright side, both matchups were excellent during the G1 and this is only the second singles matches for both feuds so it's not like this has come anywhere close to Nakamura vs. Goto levels. Hopefully all four men are able to put forth a similar level of effort as they did in their G1 matches. Midcard looks pretty solid. Yes, G.O.D is pretty bad and the Tag Title match will probably be devoid of heat. The NEVER title match should be excellent though, and there's reasons for similar optimism with the Jr tag match especially since Finlay should be looking to prove that he's worthy of his new push. Third gen vs. NOAH's been an entertaining feud with heat although it's a shame that Shibata's not currently involved. No one seems to really know what the Tiger Mask W match entails or who exactly is playing the roles. Probably not wise to expect more than Tiger Mask IV beating some young lion given positioning.

Is that a new Tiger Mask, then? It would rule if it were Komatsu, unless he's on his excursion. Also, go Kenny. Hopefully somebody shows this at regular hours on a certain thing.

Top three matches should all be really good, but Tiger Mask W is the real draw here.

People are assuming the heel is going to be one of the current young boys. This seems to be more of an ad for the anime than an important angle so it might just be TMIV in an updated costume. Komatsu and Tanaka have already finished the CMLL leg of their excursion but now seem to be working full time with ROH like Kamaitachi.

Only four hours away! https://twitter.com/STRIGGA/status/785178530103566338 It's also worth nothing that Okada main eventing the NOAH Korakuen Saturday was a success. The 1,515 SNV they drew is the best gate they've had at Korakuen for quite some time.

I definitely can't stay up to watch this but as the subforum's #1 Kyle O'Reilly fan I am rooting for him to win the NEVER belt even though there's no way in hell that's actually happening

It's insane to still hear Big Mike's music played when Tanahashi's on that team even after Mike lost the IC. They must still have some plans for him for the Dome. EDIT: Oh yeah, he's obviously challenging Naito at Power Struggle, losing, and then Tana's gonna challenge Thauros fucked around with this message at 10:13 on Oct 10, 2016 |

O'Reilly went into this with the strategy of,"Shibata will have to kill me to beat me," but unfortunately for him, Shibata went in with the strategy of,"I'm gonna kill him to beat him."ParanoidInc posted:the mouthguard falling out at the end was so perfect Yeah that was a really drat good visual to mark the ending.

If Shibata/Shiozaki is at Wrestle Kingdom 11 I doubt MiSu's the time bomb. Presumably EVIL's going to challenge at Power Struggle. Some are speculating Go could challenge at the next big NOAH show tho

Ibushi disappearing from the promotion for a year and then returning in an anime exhibition while he has a hot feud waiting for him at the top of the card is just the best Ibushi thing
