[The Intergalactic Koala]

Whats the consensus on Tanahashi's retirement run?

Seen his Kobe World tag match and it was pretty straight . Knees shot to all hell but he did his hardest out there.

Still old school but old school being 92 hurts my soul now but still
Those tag team tourneys

Take vs. Umino was good but I'm surprised Umino went over in that spot. I hope both of them make the playoffs.

Why the fukk is EVIL still so prominent? He bombed during the pandemic. The experiment should be over, gotdamn.

This moron Gedo sees him as the trusted veteran that can put people over like a W over Evil means anything worth a fukk

Dumbass Gedo got him winning Block A and Finlay advancing over Uemura

Hope the Block B results are better

Probably EVIL and the House of Torture are in Gedo's mind the chosen replacements of Minoru Suzuki and the Suzuki-Gun but somehow worse

Not managed to see everything, but I think that was my favourite match of the tournament so far.

Take has been on a hell of a run, hopefully he makes the playoffs. I think all he has to do is beat Ren Narita. Gedo can't be that crazy

Haven't heard a single thing about the G1. Has anything of note happened? Surely Takeshyta is killing it?

 

[Jmare007]
