I like that tiebreaker method.

I don't because Kobashi/Akiyama lost :argh:

But happily ANOTHER Kobashi immediately followed for me to vote for, and it's a great match... but I repeat myself, I already said it was a Kobashi match.

Suzuki may be angry, but he is definitely not a baby.

And he's more surly and grouchy than angry, to be honest.

Well, well, well. A tie. Seeing as how a 4-way to determine a 2-way would be stupid, we go to tiebreakers. Who gave the best defense of their chosen match?

forkboy84 posted:

The only person who actually identified their match of choice was forkboy84, so Kobashi/Sasaki advances. THERE ARE NO MORE 5-STAR MATCHES LEFT. Onward to the other semi-final:

Toshiaki Kawada vs. Genichiro Tenryu from AJPW October Giant Series against Bryan Danielson vs. Nigel McGuinness from ROH Unified

As more and more matches get eliminated it's becoming more and more likely that the finals will be ROH Unified vs one of the matches from Kobashi's GHC reign (most likely Vs Sasaki) and I will be very sad to have to vote against one of them

With 54.55% of the vote, Kawada/Tenryu advances to the FINAL!

Our two remaining matches are at opposite ends of the spectrum in regards to notoriety. One is from All Japan Pro Wrestling's pit of despair, having just lost almost all of its wrestlers to Pro Wrestling Noah. The other...is from Pro Wrestling Noah. One is rated 4 1/2 stars by Dave Meltzer, the other isn't even rated. One has gotten by in the tournament by the skin of their teeth, the other has easily vanquished all in its path.

Toshiaki Kawada vs. Genichiro Tenryu from AJPW October Giant Series against Kenta Kobashi vs. Kensuke Sasaki from Pro Wrestling Noah Destiny

This poll will be open for three days.
