Does Taka Michinoku count as a Suzuki-gun guy or a K-Dojo guy. I also feel like ROH should have more than one person, means only one of Matty Sydal/Bobby Fish/Kyle O'Reilly/Bucks are in it. Or new ROH Bullet Club member Adam Page, which would suck imo. Wonder if they'll just use Ricochet as their DG person too.

Ishimori, Kotoge, Harada, Kanemaru, and Taichi I'm guessing. Which yeah is excessive but unsurprising. Wish there was room for a bigger CMLL contingent though.

Who do you think the AJPW rep is gonna be?

Didn't they say Marufuji was going to be in it? He was definitely at the announcement.

TAKA Michinoku was a figurehead at the announcement ceremony and explicitly said that he is not the K-DOJO entrant and he wants his young boys to succeed so you can stop spinning that baseless rumor mill. The righteous choice is Kaji Tomato.

I might be missing some information, but the immediate context I can think of is that Goto was Naito's last big rivalry before he really blew up as a main eventer, and Naito is taunting him because he's gone on to bigger and better things

I'm not hype at all for BOSJ. It's like sub-New Japan Cup when it comes to tournaments I don't care about. Super J Cup will probably be cool though.

With Naito and Goto it seems like one of those semi shoot angles that NJPW and Tanahashi seem to like so much. It all started after Goto did a bunch of interviews where he talked about his frustration at never getting the opportunity to rise up and be the guy and that he struggled to remain motivated in the industry. They came just before the last ROH tour which Naito wasn't on - which in turn lead to the first set of Naito interviews and tweets where he basically told Goto to quit if he wasn't motivated anymore and that it was an insult to ROH and the American fans to send a guy who didn't care to do dates there. Since then he's just kept going.

I wonder why they're using Owens and not Page as the replacement given that they really don't seem to be doing anything with Tharpe any longer?

KungFu Grip posted:

Has anything been reported on Rocky being injured? If not, my guess is that Gedo teamed with Beretta in that match simply because he can safely job.

Yeah he's serviceable, it's just that his picture could serve as the definition of vanilla midget.

Gedo was the one who requested that he join the Bullet Club so he's definitely going to be in New Japan. Dave is guessing that he's basically going to be the loss pole with Cody hurt, but he could be wrong there.

Been lead to believe Kamaitachi has next to no English so take that in account when booking him.

I bet he's working through it for BOSJ, which sucks. I had a minor meniscus tear and I was on crutches for like 4 weeks. Surgery is probably a 4 to 8 week recovery (depending on if they do a repair or shave the cartilage down), who knows about the back thing. He needs to get on the Cena recovery plan (HGH, Stem Cells, and Leutokine)
