Am I correct in thinking Iizuka loving sucks, or have I just been exposed to his very worst?

Because he seems extremely bad.

He's in contention with Enzo Amore for worst wrestler in a major promotion right now

He's lucky that Yoshitatsu rarely wrestles and that Diamante Azul was in a MOTYC or his injury would have hurt his candidacy.

I was watching the show on the side while doing other stuff and I think it's worth checking out the interactions between Hiromu and Ospreay in their tag match.

Look, people in Hiroshima, I know Suzuki's a heel, and you have the human garbage can that is Taichi out there, but NOT singing along to Kaze ni Nare? That's shameful.

Suzuki-gun matches are always so overbooked. After seeing MiSu's G1 which was mostly subdued it's kind of boring having a lumberjack match with seven different guys interfering.

Fukushima. Wrong part of Japan.

Though you are correct, not singing "Kaze ni Nare" is shameful.

The crowd seemed more hot for some of the undercard stuff then they were for Naito or Okada. Elgin got a decent pop tho.

I only watched the two below the main, which were Naito/Hiromu vs Ishii/Ospreay and the Never Six Man match. They were both fine. The Hiromu/Ospreay feud is good.

Same.

I need to learn when not to turn on the stream. I got up early with the thought of rewinding and catching as much as I could and got the Main Event spoiled via the press conference.

Fale's only about 6'3" or something like that. He really benefits from guys like Gallows being gone and not being around someone like Archer who's got six inches on him.

When I saw Fale at the merch table when he was in Melbourne a few weeks ago I was really surprised he wasn't taller. I'm 6'2" and he was roughly my height. I was expecting him to be towering over me.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

Bushi doesn't do much in the ring for me, but his attire game is so strong. Maybe the best in wrestling right now.

The Hiroshima show this Sunday is easily the most stacked of the three main Destruction cards and it's headlined by what should be an amazing main event. One noteworthy aspect of the midcard you might not notice on an initial glance is the sour appearance of Kota Ibushi on this tour. It may look on paper like he's just booked for a typical midcard trios match, but Kota said in a recent interview that he wishes to challenge the winner of the IC title match.
