e: I just saw Harper's post about Becky, who just appeared on Gaki for their New Year's special trying to rehab her career lul

If rehabbing your career in Japan means getting Thai-kicked I'd probably rather leave the country.

Okada's recruitment of the knife pervert looks even dumber now..Never knew he was that much of a weeb tho.

Okada clearly brought him in as protection, because the best defense against a knife-wielding NEET is a knife-wielding weeb.

The Bucks of Betrayal so far have turned on Finn, they turned on AJ, and in PWG they turned on Owens and then on Cole. It's about time that they DON'T turn on their stable's leader. They have also mentioned on BTE multiple times that they have wanted to split the Elite from the Bullet Club for a while now, and hopefully that will actually happen.

I don't really watch Being the Elite but isn't Cody more integral to that considering he actually travels with the Bucks while Omega spends most of his time in Japan. Add to that Cody and the Bucks co-promoting a show and that Golden Lovers vs. The Bucks would certainly be a better match and story than Golden Lovers vs. Cody & Marty/Hangman and I wouldn't be sure the Bucks stick with Kenny.

Not sure travel plans matter too much, given that Daniels and Kazarian also seem to be a regular part of the BTE travelling crew, given how often they are in episodes and tweets.

Speaking of G1, I worry this year's tournament might only be absolutely magnificent rather than the greatest wrestling tournament in human history like last year's was :ohdear:

Last year most people also thought the 2016 G1 could not be topped, and then the 2017 G1 blew us away. Actually, that thought probably applies to all G1s since Naito's 2013 victory.

I don't remember, was there a specific in-ring incident recently that caused the issue for Kitamura? I mean if it were Shibata there would be the obvious issues from his near-death getting worse again, but I can't remember Kitamura suffering any concussions recently.

You have a tournament that involves Kanemaru and you complain about Flip? At least Flip has something going for him (getting kicked by his opponents when he tries to show off), what does Kanemaru do other than spit alcohol before matches and exist as Despy's tag partner?

Looks like Naito leaving the title in the ring is setting up his new gimmick of completely ignoring the fact that he's intercontinental champion.

Good, just the way it should be. Especially if it means Suzuki stalking him, trying to force Naito to take the belt (though admittedly that might a bit more up DDT's alley rather than New Japan).

Not sure how many watched the BOSJ press conference, but respect to Marty for actually still making it despite United's best efforts to prevent him from arriving on time.

Also, gotta admit I was confused when Sabin mentioned that he was a World Champion before, because I had completely forgotten that TNA title by beating Bully Ray for it with a hammer shot after looking like a complete jobber the entire match. God that was an awful mess.

Gotta make people believe that lovely Tiger Mask actually has a shot at winning this thing.

Also, just watched Assman vs TimeSplitter from the last show, and Taguchi pinned KUSHIDA, clean, in just about 2 minutes. I guess for the BOSJ Taguchi will be playing the role Yano Toru plays in the G1.

Finally managed to catch up with all of the tournament after trailing behind a lot, and a couple of thoughts:

- From the previous show, I like the call-back to the end of Eddie vs Kurt Wrestlemania ending, with Scurll escaping the ankle lock thanks to an untied show and then rolling up Taguchi
- SHO and YOH are both very drat good already
- Tiger Mask IV managed to impress me a whole lot in this tournament
- Kanemaru didn't
- Somewhat disappointed in Ishimori, expected more from him, but there is always the final match
- Seeing Honma back and announcing his return to the ring, while Milano will seemingly never return, makes me sad. At least we'll never run out of "MCA.T reacts to people trying the Paradise Lock" gifs.

And on a seperate note, while checking Charlton's twitter for what Hiromu was saying, something else caught my eye:
