Make Zack champ, put Mox and Danielson in the G1. ZSJ vs Dragon at Wrestle Kingdom.

There you go, Gedo, I just booked the rest of the year for you.

Danielson was on WOR recently and said that he and at least a couple of other AEW guys are super keen to do a G1 but not until the crowds are allowed to cheer again. I can absolutely understand that but also GIMME MY INTERNATIONAL FLAVOR G1! :argh:

You know, I'm quite frequently critical of New Japan. Their tour schedule has been weird, some of their booking has been absolute nonsense, they refuse to treat Strong as an actual brand with direction and purpose.

But goddamn. When it comes to putting on main event professional wrestling that MATTERS, there are few like them.

Need to get Careless Whisper as ZSJ's entrance music for the master stroke.

So in the end I think we can definitely answer the thread question: Bigger definitely was better this year.

They drew almost 1000 more than yesterday and you could put that down to it being the finals but I'm gonna say it means ZSJ is a bigger draw than Okada.

It's not that kind of test.
I didn't expect Zack to win and pumped my first when he did. Love that guy and he'll have a great match against Okada, but unfortunately I can't see him winning. Then again, they surprised me this time!

Cup played out better than expected and ZSJ is a great winner. ZSj needs to win the title and than face Bryan for it in a battle of rear end hole grapplers and factions (Suzuki-Gun vs Blackpool Combat club would be amazing)

Amazing how good ZSJ has been for New Japan and how good New Japan/Suzuki-Gun has been for ZSJ. Hard to imagine him as just a technical wrestler that he was before he joined Suzuki-gun

Just caught up on the Quarters all the way to the Finals today. Good god, this entire tournament made Zack look like an absolute nightmare to be in the ring with. It was like ANY move could be countered into a deadly submission in a split second.

And Ospreay definitely tapped. Hammer-fist my rear end. :colbert:


edit: please don't hammer-fist my rear end :ohdear:
