EVIL is probably the next generation of stiff NEVER brawlers if that's what you're asking, but he doesn't do many kicks. If you want a lot of kicks, maybe Nakajima over in NOAH?

It might just have been Nagata, but Oka looked like a million bucks in the opening match.

Taguchi... nice.Ryusuke Taguchi posted:‘Thanks to the guys back in the studio. (Laughter). Thank you. I am the player manager of Taguchi Japan, Ryusuke Taguchi. (Applause). Well, today, at the end of the day, the boys done marvellous (laughter). I really thought there, maybe we didn't quite hit 69% on the pitch tonight, but at the end, the ball rolled into the area, and we burst the onion bag with the eagerness of a puppy (laughter). The boys in Taguchi Japan don't give up. We always get back in there. We get knocked down six times, we get up again nine times. “Down for 6, up for 9.” That's our motto. Elgin, Dragon Lee, (when you're in front of goal) tranquilo, tranquilo. We’re about 69% of where we want to be so there's work to be done. Dragon Lee, Elgin, ganbatte (do your best). You understand? Ganbatte. (Dragon Lee shrugs, uncomprehending) Isn't it? Marvellous. OK! Communication is key. (Laughter).

I'd be fine with Cody as a secondary singles guy for BC who could credibly challenge for the NEVER or IC belts.

Would the Young Bucks or Rocky be caught up in the purchase? Those are the only guys NJPW would really worry about losing. Otherwise, I figure they'd just get another US indy (EVOLVE?) to affiliate with, or maybe set up their own American territory.

here comes the spunk posted:So what do you all think they are going to do with Makabe? His only GBH buddy is going to be gone, possibly forever. I know he's a bit of a celebrity so I don't think he'll join Suzuki-Gun or anything that drastic. He can join the New Japan Dad crew.

From what I understand the hospitalization was due to dehydration as much as anything else, although the headbutt probably didn't help.

This won't surprise anyone, but Omega/Ishii was really good. I also loved monster heel Bad Luck Fale talking about helping underpriveleged kids in his promo video.

Thauros posted:That's the ideal card imo. Put Tana alongside one of the face gaijin in the tag title match. My pick would be Tana against Suzuki, possibly for the NEVER belt. It lets him get a significant Dome win and stay a threat after putting younger guys over the last two years.

Sanguinia posted:Is that the actual bracket? If so, holy poo poo, Kenny v Naito in the semis and Juice almost certainly going to the finals, that's dope. On the other hand, I find it really hard to believe they would put Juice over either of those guys, yet also really hard to believe they would put the US belt on either of them when putting it on Juice would make a ton of sense. I could see Kenny and/or Naito losing their quarterfinal matches. It seems like NJPW doesn't want to give any really big matches away on this show, and they can get their wins back during G-1. Juice beating Naito in the finals would be a great payoff to their spring feud, though. Also, Billy Gunn in a NJPW main event is hilarious to me.

It's going to be weird when the two top champs, Cody and Billy Gunn, skip the G-1.

Naito/Omega sounds like the best possible final, as they're the only two plausible winners (and they had an incredible match last year_. The problem with that is you need to put one of them in Okada's block. Actually, Omega beating Okada on the last day of the block might be a good way to put a pin in their rivalry for the next six months. It would have been nice to have Shibata in the mix though.

Kenny currently has a new title and three feuds simmering simultaneously. Okada is still the ace, but it increasingly feels like Omega is the centre of the promotion.

sigmachiev posted:Anyway G1 chat: So Naito is definitely winning huh or are we not sure. That was almost certainly the original plan. Some have suggested that they should switch course and stick with Okada/Omega considering how hot that feud's gotten, but I have a feeling that they're going to keep those two on separate paths for a while after the G-1 in order to establish Omega as the ace of the American expansion.

Kind of surprised to not see Young Bucks in the junior tag tournament. Maybe R3K will win, and the Bucks will challenge them afterwards. I definitely don't want to see one of the Suzuki-gun teams get the shot at the Dome.
