The replies on the Japanese announcement are going harder on Nakajima after this second injury

"I think the company should think very carefully. It's not an accident, it's an incident."

"Baba-san said, "It is second-rate to get injured, and third-rate to cause injury." I don't think Okada is second-rate this time, but the player who let him get injured must be third-rate."

Burying all the trauma from past nights
Burying my anger in the past

At least one person was saying that Okada was meant to duck that kick but man, I don’t see how that’s possible because things seemed so quick

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
I mean it’s Nakajima: the guy is apparently a bit of a dick and this is the third time in two months he’s done it (and he’s always been someone that’s worked stiff which I personally like but I’m also not the person in the ring and I assume there are lines and ways of doing it): and add it the Kento stuff and you don’t get a great picture. The reaction of Japanese fans to this mirrors the above (seen reference of some Baba quote about getting injured being bad but injuring someone else being worse) and it makes you feel like they need to do something at this point.

Not watched the tournament as I’ve been busy but the idea of Hideki vs Kaito is great and so I shall try to watch that - great that Hideki is back in Japan again. I’ve seen people implying that he might do the “doesn’t work for me brother” thing on the day but I assume that they’d sort that stuff out before they booked a final if it would be a problem (plus he beat Mutoh).

Kenoh recorded a YouTube video from his car advising young wrestlers if they want to beat Kazuyuki Fujita that they have to kick him in his humongous cock.

Mind expounding on the Kento stuff? I knew they were both under Diamond Ring, but I don't know the backstage drama involved.

Don't like how Hideki just holds the pin after winning, he did it again vs Go. He is admittedly pretty good at what he does but him just showing up straight from the US and winning matches left and right just doesn't sit well with me, but this is Pro-Wrestling NOAH

This ring announcer is much too English. He sounds like he's doing the meat raffle at a flat roofed pub.

Kenoh's plan going into this match was to murder The Great O-Khan. Now he actually has a reason for wanting to!

wish his shining wizards looked better/more impactful. very non-NOAH result so very good. A little bit of an Muto tribute act now though

Thank gently caress for Noah not being Noah for once.

Not least because Kiyo vs Kenoh is a guaranteed banger whenever it happens.

Huh, pretty odd booking. Kenoh shouldn't be going V0 and Kaito shouldn't be losing another GHC title shot right now. Maybe a draw?

Did Mutoh also teach Kaito the "this doesn't work for me brother" move?

I guess the winner is challenging in Ariake so they want their biggest match for that so Kaito/Kenoh makes sense from that context.
