I think I just voted for this match 50% because of Ihashi's frankly brilliant take on the hyper-cool Eruption entrance. I don't want to spoil it but it is so great. Match itself, solid.

I thought it was pretty boring and you could see where it was going from a mile away.

Also, there’s just something extremely anticlimactic about a battle royal that ends with four people left.

I look at the one in AEW a few weeks ago and there were fun spots, it built to big moments and the final pair were people you cared about. This was just a thing that was there.

Nth this.

Okada/Ospreay was probably the better match skill wise, but I really love how Naito/Ibushi peaked right at the finish, I thought it built itself up so well and the finish was at the exact right time.

Hiromu/ELP probably could've gotten there, but I think they're saving the winner of that for the match on the 5th given that it's the semi-main. Good for what it was though.

In a world where the former match didn't happen, the latter would be an easy MOTYC. Heck, in a world where Naito and Ibushi didn't declare war on their own heads and necks it would've too. But watching that Okada/Ospreay match and realizing that this is the first in a series wherein Ospreay finally wins the championship from Okaka, after escalating over encounters, probably in a similar way to the Omega/Okada series, I am so loving excited right now. I was screaming and clapping and having such a good time with that Okada/Ospreay match, and that was knowing the result in advance as well. Absolutely incredible and probably the match to beat for the rest of the year.

Honestly I wish Ibushi Naito had more neck spots. Nowhere near enough crown of head drops for my liking

Naito was being considerate and sparing Ibushi's neck so that he can destroy it getting heat for White.

Nthing. This is exactly where I'm at. Liked it more than the ELP match, but wouldn't say it's by a big margin of difference between the two.
