Going to use this dumb match as an opportunity to warm up and eat my traditional McGriddle and hash brown. I can't bring myself to pay attention to these two doofuses.

I would be into the Firing Squad DQ parade if there was some weird thing with the points where a DQ only got you 1 point instead of 2. It would make sense for them to want to act as spoilers for other dudes in the tournament. As it stands now, it's just annoying.

devitt swept the 2013 BOSJ with interference in basically every match. it seemed cooler at the time, maybe because it was just fresher

It probably helps when you're a great wrestler who can have great matches with bullshit finishes tacked on versus being Bad Luck Fale.

It was a short match but I don't know how long you want it to go. The whole story told was Jay being (rightfully) terrified of Suzuki so as soon as he fucks up and gets caught it should be over. It'll be a fun match the next time it happens, perhaps with higher stakes and another 10-15 minutes tacked on.

Agreed that match also felt pretty short. I guess we're on schedule, though, in the grand scheme of things? Show is going to wind up being about 3 hours long after the main event. They shouldn't have given Elgin/YOSHI so much time.

Man, I give zero fucks about this match. With the last two matches running short this has been the first dud night for me.

A Block is bit of a drag overall compared to B Block, honestly. The only match I was really excited for tonight was Suzuki/White. Makabe is fine but not someone I go out of my way to watch, and then you've got Fale, YOSHI, and Elgin in the same block. There are some interesting match-ups here and there but B Block is the real star of the tour.

I've started doing a daily podcast covering the G1 shows so it's been nice having a few days off.

I've been blogging about each day myself and the few day break is nice for me, too. I also like not having to avoid social media all day so I don't see any G1 spoilers before I get to watch each night.

For the longest time I didn't like YOSHI, but all the backlash is making me feel sorry for him.

So I guess i'm rooting for loving YOSHI-HASHI now

I started G1 out like this and I gave up. I love how bothered SHO looked to have him as a partner.

What I've loved about SANADA in the tournament is that he seems to have an answer for everybody. He counter-wrestled Sabre and he reversed or countered all of Ibushi's big moves. He just comes off so calm under pressure, waits for his spot, then sinks his teeth in.

Sho and Yoh probably both think they drew the short straw with their tag partners

Yes but in WILDLY different ways. SHO is stuck with the thousand-yard stare while YOH has to deal with a complete dirtbag who is fun to watch and has good-to-great matches. And, after all, Switchblade is just trying to help!

man i really think the A block would have been better off with ishimori or someone else there in place of yoshi hashi.

Taichi does nothing for me but I'd rather watch him than YOSHI. And, as everyone has already said, Cobb instead of Elgin and literally any inanimate object instead of Fale.

Does Okada's Scooby Dooby-Doo cross body block make Gedo Scrappy Doo? Has that been discussed yet?

yeah the've been announced as "bullet club og" all tour while the rest of them are "bullet club elite". it's on the matchup graphics as well. agreed that a formal split would be preferable tho as this will prob just be the sequel to team kenny vs team cody

This feels a little different in that nobody in BC Elite seems to want to side with Tama at all so there isn't the leadership struggle at all. Okada/White is leaning more toward a Kenny/Cody style thing, I think, whereas this is just... two groups within the same group who don't like each other. It'd be way better if they just officially split and became Firing Squad.

With some of the less tough looking guys it looks stupid when they go head-to-head in strike battles with a guy like Ishii but Ibushi looks 100% believable doing it.

I think I legitimately gasped when Ibushi's slap/palm strike sent Ishii to the mat. He looked like a million bucks here.

That was a good match but nothing spectacular - probably exactly the cooldown everyone needed between Ibushi/Ishii and the main event.
