. Suzuki-Gun is one of the top Heel stables in NJPW, led by generally disgusting human being Minoru Suzuki.

Odd way of spelling "Minoru Suzuki, big One Piece fan, street fashion aficionado, and the coolest professional wrestler currently active who is not named Rush, LA Park, or EVIL" but otherwise ok

Jay White's debuted a new finisher: the feared Ref Bump

Jul 2, 2012

I guess it makes sense that after Bullet Club got heat by pretending to be 90s WCW heels, Jay White thought the logical next step was getting heat by being a mid-2000s WWE heel.

This is a real good lineup but how did they end up putting the least interesting match in the main event?

By saying "well, Goto has to main event some shows, he's still a title holder."

Okada only having a four star match with White is an indictment.

That's like, Cody bad.

That rating is an understatement, personally

Personally I'd call it one star too many, but in terms of Meltzer ratings of Okada main events, four stars or under is an anomaly.

Mike Elgin, master of the Flying Rollup

Also it's wild that Dark Ziggler has the deadlift German, a cobra clutch suplex, and the Three Amigos in his repertoire, but finishes with Fandango's old finish, like he ran out of cool move ideas before getting to the finisher slot in Create A Wrestler

Tama Tonga and Fale are still two of the worst workers in their respective blocks but I'm kind of loving this feud with Red Shoes in a "Iizuka loving with the commentary team in ~2014" way

On the finals show I hope they just start having a match with Red Shoes, which of course ends with Red Shoes fast counting his own pin

So I'm gonna throw this out there and you guys just correct me if I'm wrong:

The parts of his matches in this tournament where Tama Tonga wrestles his opponent, the parts where he's doing a wrestling match are at worst okay and at best really loving good.

It's all the parts around that with the bizarrely ineffective interference that are loving things up.

I wouldn't go as high as "really loving good", but he's not YOSHI-HASHI bad, yeah.

So, after 6 nights, who's your tourney MVP so far?

A Block: EVIL and Suzuki
B Block: YTR, ZSJ, SANADA, really like half the block could count, but SANADA/ZSJ is my favorite match of the tourney so they're leading

Top 5:

1: SANADA/ZSJ
2: Ibushi/ZSJ
3: Juice/Ibushi
4: Ishii/YTR
5: Tanahashi/Suzuki - A Block deserves a little love

MVP:

1: ZSJ
