SG Bamboo posted:The link's up but it's giving me 'please wait until delivery' so idk Didn't notice that. Must admit, only looked at the front page & saw it was there & just assumed, my bad. Anyway, gutting news. Otani is out of the last 2 nights because he dislocated his shoulder as far as I can tell. Real bummer, he's been at a consistent level the whole tournament.

Poor Akira going to get people clapping and then remembering there's no one there It's honestly pretty lucky the big shows in Golden Week are mostly outside Tokyo, between Dontaku & Dead or Alive. Carnival finals on Monday are the big exception

I musn't have been paying close enough attention before, is Zues' clothesline called Bicep Explosion? Because that's great

Yep, that's what the competition was missing, another DCO

Because that's great Yes That was disappointing I don't hate Doing DCO finishes because you need them sometimes to make the teases work, but that feels unnecessary. Possibly the worst match of the tournament thus far MASTER OF SUPLEX forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 10:57 on Apr 29, 2021 |

From this tournament, Ashino is my favourite wrestler in All Japan. Kento may rule, but I love the Master of Suplex so much

The running knee to the chest is such a cool move. The knee to the back...not so much

So at least there's a hint of logic. Also Jake probably had to lose to Ishikawa to ensure the Kento match is for all the beans. So maybe I'm a little harsh. I'm just burned by 2020 AJPW.

Are they that committed to having Doi finishing last? Even if the plan is for him to beat Ashino on the next show ( ) that would still only leave him on 6 points. Why give the guy a second Double Count Out if the end goal is to have Zeus leave the show with 0 points. Guys get freak victories in tournaments all the time

It is ludicrous how magnetic a star Miyahara is compared to everyone else in this company. He just stands out. He feels like he could be a star in almost every company in the world except WWE where they can't make stars

A couple of shows ago I tried to keep the clapping going throughout his entire entrance and my hands got sore as poo poo, don't know how the local fans do it. Must be that pure love for the Best of the Best

 So, Monday, the final matches are Koji Doi vs Shotaro Ashino Kohei Sato vs Yuma Aoyagi Shuji Ishikawa vs Suwama Jake Lee vs Kento Miyahara Obviously Zeus gets 2 points with Otani hurt, so he'll finish on 10, Otani on 4. Doi Ashino is a push, result doesn't matter, Ashino should win but maybe they give Doi a consolation win just to continue hurting Ashino fan feelings. Sato Aoyagi, if Sato wins he's on 12, if Aoyagi wins then he's on 10. So how this goes depends on if you think they'll do a final match or not. Violent Giants collide. Shuji wins, he's in the backlog of guys on 10, Suwama wins then he's on 12 & they probably do a finals. Which would be a weird choice considering the winner is going to face Suwama 10 days later at Ota Ward Gym. Lee vs Kento. The winner of this is on 12, loser on 10. So this is probably the honourary final unless they really want to do Lee vs Suwama or Lee vs Sato again. Which would be dumb as gently caress. So yeah, in conclusion, Jake Lee is still on course to win this thing.

Ashino Doi happened & was fine and then Kuma Arashi attacked Ashino post-match. He got saved by Ryuki Honda so that was neat.

Like wtf, is the guy that low on the totem poll yet is still in the tournament
