not flawless but a cool match. ibushi's absurdly good and sanada brought it.

as someone who picked ibushi to win pre tournament i'm a little confused why they just didn't have him beat tana in the finals to complete the storyline from two years ago tho

So he can beat the Ace in a title defense, clearly.

Another plus is that SANADA's big win still might get to have a proper crowd reason :unsmith:

Skull End would be a badass move but Gedo can’t loving book submissions for poo poo. If every submission is a war for attrition they all start to look poo poo unless you’re the ZeesJay

This is the problem. Submissions are booked better in WWE FFS.

And I'm not afraid to die.

Gedo was the best booker in the world for a decade and he could not book a submission or tag team match if his life depended on it which I'm not sure what to take away from that information but it exists

The funniest thing in this match is that SANADA's big move is the moonsault and Kota's is objectively better and prettier

No amount of booking is going to save a move if the wrestler literally cannot execute it properly a single time.

That's an easy loose end to tie up. Ibushi wins the HW belt, Tana challenges for it and Ibushi beats him to establish himself and finally surpass God.

Skull end isn't a submission. It's the sleeper he does before hitting the moonsault. It's the same thing Suzuki does before the GSPD.

He can’t stand to have guys tap is all.

Idk, it’s something I can live with, just wish everybody would get a cool impact finisher to counter this. I like the TKO but it is like on the tier of the right hand of god.

Edit:

Oh wait, moonsault.

To be fair, I do recall when EVIL turned on Naito the fans just involuntarily letting out vociferous boos before remembering they weren't allowed to do that.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
The problem with the Skull End, Money Clip, and Butterfly Lock is they're all "try and make the guy pass out" sleeper style submissions, and those are hard to make compelling. When Tanahashi puts on the Cloverleaf or Zack does one of his thousand and five holds they actually tap people out because they're "oh god this loving hurts please stop i can't handle it aaaaAAAA" moves. Suzuki's sleeper he very rarely keeps on for more than 10 seconds, so he doesn't have the same problem as those other 3 moves.

oh hey knife pervert's here
