    Strong Style Evolved is gonna be incredible. Switchblade/Hangman, Bucks/Lovers, and Liger/Mysterio. Okada/Ospreay in two weeks. d---.

    Brackets are kinda disappointing

    Is this gonna be on new Japan world??

    Kind of disappointed in the bracket tbh. Could get interesting seeing Naito vs Ibushi or Naito/Ibushi vs Sanada, or Naito/Ibushi/Sanada vs Ishii. Other than that, meh

    Nick also did a 450 to the outside on a mostly broken table. It was horrifying. f---ing insane match though, well worth seeking out. Everyone in BC was on another level and they had that crowd so hot.

    Also got some Fireball in the mix tonight, gonna be a struggle.

    Best thing about working 5-12 shifts is catching these shows live.

    What'd you think? People seem split on whether the Okada formula with him always winning is getting stale. I think that tiny bit of doubt that always gets crushed is part of what makes his matches work so well. Gonna make it all the more important when he does lose.

    I also watched the Bullet Club tag match at Honor Rising. I'll go 4.25 for that (incredible but lost steam toward the end with some miscommunication but the story was excellent) and i'll go 4.5 for Okada/SANADA

    Honestly I wouldn't want to see Okada defeat Naito or Omega yet again, but anyone besides those two I would enjoy Okada beating for the forseeable future. It's cool rooting against him mentally in the match but outside of that match I wouldn't want anyone else to actually beat him.

    Yeah, same. The only other guy I'd wanna see win it is maybe Ibushi after winning the cup, but they'll probably go with Tanahashi.

    Ospreay f---ing proved he can wrestle. Anybody that says he's all flippy s--- is stupid. Okada and Ospreay went toe to f---ing toe. But my favourite match was Suzuki vs Makabe
