I remember tha halcyon days of early Covid era NJPW when the sound guy hadn't got the memo yet and they actually played Immigrant Song for Makabe.

I've chosen my next victim. Cry tears of joy it's not you!

The lighting made it look like Makabe was bleeding from the side of the head during his entrance and I thought that was a bit much

Didn't even occur to me that the people eliminated via handcuff will be hanging around at ringside getting in the way until Chris mentioned it

I also like that the way to the ring is exactly long enough so that your average lumbering New Japan Dad can get to the ring just in time for the next count to start.

Also hell yea Tiger Mask.

If there are really 22 people in this thing, they're gonna run out of handcuffs. This requires strategy -- do you want to burn a pair of cuffs on someone like Honma, or should you save them for the serious contestants?

Some of the wider shots make it clear there's quite a few people in the crowd, but they're spaced out so much in such a big stadium that the place looks empty :smith:

Eliminations are also by pin,sub and top rope. The handcuffs are more people that you want trapped there wallowing in their defeat

Yeah, exactly! You need to make smart choices. Yano's really going to have an advantage here, it plays to his strategy abilities.
