Those of you who have been waiting for the past 6 weeks for jado to have another featured match will get your wish tomorrow morning. BC team compisition aside, New Japan's tournaments are usually fun and it's good to have some stakes to the korakuens after two very "Road to" shows to start the tour. Even given the limited audience conditions anchoring a quadruple shot in Korakuen Hall is arguably the most important spot the company has ever booked these belts in. No matches aside from the tournament matches themselves have been announced for the other three shows yet but the semi-finals will be on the 8th and the finals on the 9th.

Of all the things that have happened this year, I'll put the most compelling story being in the tag division as the most surprising

yeah the main tag feud's been fantastic and taichi's come off as a star. obv not a heavyweight contending tag team but i'm also enjoying the tenzan/wato program. between that and the iizuka stuff last year tenzan's been used perfectly lately

They are one Heavyweight short. Fale might be allowed into the country


my guess is hiromu replaces a YL. uemura may be more likely than kidd anyway as he's gotten jacked, has senority and is listed at the weight currently

I know LIJ will probably win this one, but i'm keen for a CHAOS grand final after my Suzuki-gun dreams were dashed. Book Okada to punk out Goto once more for old times sake Gedo, you know you want to

yoshi-hashi being the only veteran on the roster never to win any sort of title amuses me and i hope it continues

this is helped greatly by bushi being a guy who has gotten flash pins on heavyweights booked more seriously than yano in the past

the major tag program is great but i'm intrigued to see golden☆ace wrestle another face team

highlight of the day's show for me was hiromu's return but they managed to sell me on y-h finally winning a belt as a nice little narrative for those things after initially rooting for literally any other reasonable outcome
