We should see how non smarky crowds treat him because these seemed more like Japanese smarks than the normal crowds they get.

Okada was over as hell on Sunday's show and like Kenny said, "It's Mondaaay. You had to wooork." So it's definitely the smark crowd Monday night.

I cannot believe that in 2017, I am rooting for CJ Parker to win the New Japan Cup.

He'll not win but they've been hinting pretty heavily towards him doing well, I've got a feeling he makes the semi.

So, to be clear, is it on the Semi'a that are televised? Or have I picked that up wrong?

based on the chants amount of BC shirts Dave said they sold for a bad crowd I think more than smarks it was a crowd there to see BC and have fun acting like a US wrestling crowd. It'll be interesting to see how over Cody's gonna be when he finally does a normal show.

Anyway, yet another Korakuen tomorrow morning. Pretty run of the mill card but holy poo poo that main....

In other news, BONE SOLDIER has disappeared from the roster page from the web site. I wonder if he's getting regimmicked when Tatsu returns?

Oka/Takahashi is worth a look just to see how well Oka's doing. Otherwise, Shibata + Finlay/Suzuki + DBS Jr. is great, and I only caught the second half of LIJ/Taguchi Japan but that was pretty fun.

I had read the results this morning and was perplexed why Honma got pinned by Jado of all people. Came across news of the injury a bit later but had no clue of the severity and that this could be a another Hayabusa situation.

How long was Austin paralyzed when Owen broke his neck? Pretty loving scary if Honma still isn't moving after almost 24 hours.

TenCozy's going to challenge YTR and Ishii for the belts now that GBH obviously can't participate. Honma's replacement for the NJC has not been announced yet.

Same. Wasn't a huge Honma fan before that came out, not at all after, and still wouldn't wish this to him at all. Hope he can recover to at least be back to normal even if his career has to end.
