Remember when this banger of a match came out and people started thinking that Goto could win the whole thing? (for some reason he also squashed Moxley in a sub-10 minute match or something)

They were doing the whole "Goto Revival" thing with him going to the LA Dojo to train with Shibata to get him out of his losing streak plus Jay was constantly calling him out and talking poo poo about him, so the story for him to win it was there.

Also, he was mathematically in with a chance of winning the B block up to the end, and had he beaten Shingo on the final night and all results stayed the same he would have gone on to the final against Ibushi.

I don't think he'd have beaten Ibushi, nor do I think it would have been as good of a match as Jay had during the final, but I can definitely see logical reasons behind Goto being a viable guy to win it.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

real excited for cards this week. nothin super great but im glad to enjoy nice little cards with a treat at the end. honestly if njpw were ever to have anything resembling a weekly product packaged for western consumption i hope it'd take the model of this week's cards, just 2 hour little shows like this to act as interludes between destination cards

This is why I keep a picture of Taichi in a locket around my neck so I can always look at him and say to myself "he had a pretty sick match with Goto that one time"

Just ignoring his dope arse trilogy with Ishii from last year...


Taichi does great in many situations. He can hoss off, be a fiery babyface or a loathsome shitheel and he's good at them all
