That was a fun, if not terribly strong, show. The shenanigans made up for the match quality and nothing was a flat out bad match.

i wonder if this was the original njc booking plan pre pandemic? given the KENTA defense in february and hiromu's comeback it's easily believeable but i'd also buy a snap decision to beef up bc as well.

out of the l.i.j members in the tournament i'd have guessed everyone else in the stable aside from BUSHI to be more likely winners

On the bright side, LIJ will have an open spot for whenever YOH comes back from injury

Naito and BUSHI taunted YOH a lot before he went on excursion

He even offered him a LIJ hat, only to take it away Charlie Brown style

yeah naito helped train him and there was a little angle right before he went on excursion where he wanted to join l.i.j when they were still heels. they teased letting him in before beating him down

If you watch YOH and go back to watch Stardust Genius era Naito, the influence is very clear.

YOH also idolised BUSHI.

Nobody has ever joined LIJ from another faction

But also, noone has ever left LIJ... until today :smith:

it's important to note that YOH is billed at 5'8" but is taller than SHO. thank you

it'd be interesting to see how they'd handle a guy leaving one face unit for what's effectively another at this point tho.

It's not that kind of test.
I was hoping for something more interesting than EVIL joining Bullet Club but I understand why they did it.

Looking forward to Wato running through the Suzuki-Gun juniors!

turn it all around

I'm sad EVIL did what SANADA couldn't. I wouldn't want SANADA in BC but I do wish he had finally gotten his NJ Cup win over Okada.

Wonder if they would've done this switch without all of the travel issues?
