btw Sanada posted a clean version of his theme on instagram I guess and it made it to youtube. Assuming I'm not the only one that cares about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtC--jxScR4

Burn Down Canberra posted:It's my njpw match of the year so far I think. Mentally I'm not sure I'm prepared for Master Wato to have a match better than Omega vs Ospreay or Okada vs Takagi. I mean, through Night 6 of BOSJ I've got Master Wato with 2 matches at ***¾, the 4 way from Wrestle Kingdom & his singles with Atsuki Aoyagi from the All Star Junior Festival. The first match featured Ishimori, Hiromu & Despy, the 2nd match featured my #4 Wrestler of the Year through the 1st 5 months. I am extremely fascinated to get to the Finals. I really hope Finlay vs El P doesn't go 25 minutes. Also bummed that they injected House of Torture into the Tag Title match. The only wrestler I want to watch less than EVIL right now is Yujiro. On the other hand, Archer vs Ospreay is a fascinating match up, Jet Setters vs Catch 22 should be great, Zack vs Cobb will be great barring injury & the main event is a big question mark & I mean that in a good way, in a way that's quite exciting. We've never seen Tsuji in a position remotely like this, headlining one of the biggest shows of the New Japan year. His first match in Japan since August 2021, where he wrestled in front of 690 people in Korakuen Hall. And it's a huge thing for SANADA too, his first title defence against a Heavyweight, again, it's Dominion, how will he draw? How will he take to the pressure of being the marquee name? Obviously they've helped him out with a show that has almost every New Japan title being defended except the women's (shame they couldn't fit Mayu on there but I suppose there's been no build for anything). It's very interesting.

Working my way though BosJ and Mike Bailey really lays those kicks in, huh? Never heard anyone complain about working with him though. Oh yeah I loved that he cut a Kenny Omega promo after his match with Hiromu

Good, I have been saying for years now that LIJ's absence of a Werewolf Meteor Man was an unforgivable oversight, only slightly alleviated by the presence of DRAMATIC PEACOCK LUNATIC, and now all is right with the world.

Every day Okada reminds us all why he's one of the all-time-greats and perhaps the greatest professional wrestler who has ever lived.
