Idk that seemed pretty in line with all the other recent BOTSJ finals matches outside of the crowd brawling, but my wrassle interest is probably at an all time low right now. I do worry about Takahashi's back and knees though. All those dropkicks on the floor where he lands on his tail bone, the sunset flip powerbomb, landing on his neck so often :picard:

Takahashi vs Ishimori got 5.5 stars from Dave :lolbron: It was 6 stars but he took 0.5 because he thought it was promoting a lot of unnecesary dangerous stuff :dead:

If the BOTSJ match was (initially) 6 stars to Dave, what did he rate the far crazier, for sure better junior matches in the Himuro/Dragon Lee series?

With the last three shows being at Budokan I wonder if they'll book a surprise for the tournament. Then again, who could really draw for NJ that isn't already working for them? :patrice: I guess Akiyama? that seems like a pipe dream though.

I could never rock with Ishimori's work. He's always been a "just there" talent to me. I do think Meltz is trolling with these ratings the last few years. Still workin marks and the boys.:lolbron:

I think NJ is at the same point as WWE where if they're bringing in outside talent for a tournament, that's just announcing their intentions to sign that talent.

Gedo's genius plan should have Kenny lose every match in the G1 so he'll have valid challengers


Also for lolz
