I love that Lance is a deranged madman EXCEPT when he has a mic, at which point he becomes very calm and restrained.

is there any chance at all KENTA wins this?

I predicted KENTA to win it, but think it is far more likely Naito does. Also I'm 4-0 for the night so I am surely about to get this one wrong.

yeah i'm in favor of more countouts and it kinda makes sense that susceptibility to them could be a weakness of a big man even tho that really wasn't how they played this one.

Not looking good since Naito brought the post match hat and shirt with him.

Chase is the definition of a Good Hand, some of the wins he's gotten in this G1 have been baffling but in general he's fine as a Bullet Club's job boy

4-1 for the evening, and the right result even if KENTA being so low on points is a drag.

I'm getting really tired of Naito's story.

The dude won the loving Double Gold Dash but we have to redo the ENTIRE story just because KENTA interrupted his promo? Like, that's seriously the deal?

# ? Aug 9, 2022 22:27

GEORGE W BUSHI: Jul 1, 2012

I mean it's aging top star feels his career is almost over and wants one last shot at the main event. The same guy being in the top title story twice isn't the same story.

# ? Aug 9, 2022 22:38

Thauros: Jan 29, 2003

he and tana are consistently the most popular wrestlers in the country in whatever order in every domestic fan poll. giving him another run makes sense

# ? Aug 9, 2022 22:40

GEORGE W BUSHI: Jul 1, 2012

And it's not like the only thing that happened to his title run was KENTA screwing up the roll call. There was also his partner betraying him and taking the title. Also the pandemic.

I could've sworn both times Naito fell in some huge hole early, and it became BUT THE ODDS even though it was painfully obvious what would happen.

If I'm wrong, please correct me. That's what I meant by the same story.

If we're redoing the Double Gold Dash story then he's not winning the G1

He didn't overcome the odds because he didn't win the G1. He baited Jay into giving him an intercontinental title shot to sneak into the double gold dash

# ? Aug 9, 2022 22:48

SatoshiMiwa: May 6, 2007

His last g1 victory was pretty much him at the top of the block for the run as a clear favorite. The double gold dash was a different type of comeback

Pandemic killing crowds probably hurt Naito's WOR Hall of fame chances a bit since if he had a big run he'd easily be voted in. He should still get in but it may take time as Non Japanese voters just really undervalue how over he is

Okay I had forgotten that part.

God that's even more annoying (with the DGD, not this instance). I hated pretty much everything about the DGD, the only cool part was Naito (supposedly anyway) wanted to defend the titles individually. It was Ibushi (at least in storyline, IDK how legit any of that was) who wanted to unify them.

Yes, Naito challenged Ibushi specifically for the intercontinental title individually because he did not want it unified with the IWGP title

My point was more IDK if unifying them was always the plan and Ibushi was just the mouthpiece for that plan or if they actually decided to unify after Ibushi said something.

It's one point more than Yujiro amassed last year, from four fewer matches at that.

The final point Yujiro got last year was from Shingo...
