I didn't mind the mainevent but ishimori only bothering when it's a big match or he likes the guy is pretty blatant.

I always think it's interesting who ishimori bothers to put his working boots on for.

To be fair to Ishimori he's certainly not putting any less effort out there than YOH

I am really excited to see every Wheeler Yuta match in this tournament. It's amazing how much that dude has had the rocket attached to him in like the last 2 months. He went from job guy in the Best Friends to pivotal part in one of the hottest wrestling factions right now.

Yeah, night 1 was a bit of a let down. I'm interested in YOH vs. Connnors though, hopefully that's a win for Clark.

The preview tag definitely sold me on Titan vs. Despy.

After having only seen clips of him before, I’m now fully behind Ace Austin. His Gambit ripoff gimmick is fun, he moves very uniquely and he’s had an INSTANT connection with the local crowd. Legit, looking at the Japanese hashtags for BoSJ is just a full on thirst-fest for Ace. I get the feeling he’s going to be around NJPW for quite a while

Ace Austin signed a new deal with Impact Wrestling in March, so I'd suspect any further excursions to Japan to be limited to when his schedule is open.

Especially on weeknights. Sakata is like 4 & a half hours from Tokyo. New Japan need to pay him enough to work full-time for them. Sack Kikuchi & give Chris his money & spot on the booking committee imo

I still haven't watched Night 1 because priorities, but I will watch this show live. Well, once they get to block matches, I don't have it in me to watch the undercard. But there's some very exciting matches on the show tonight, between DOUKI vs Lindaman & Yuta vs Eagles & Despy vs Titan. And despite me finding him deeply unappealing, TJP will probably drag Wato to a decent match.
