I had a stab, but I've never watched NJPW so I'm just going by how much I like the sounds of some of these names. Probably predicted way too many AEW wins, because they feature people I've heard of.

Hello friends it's time for another AEW prediction game!

Here is the link to the form - https://forms.gle/PhzQEgEeWmqA6hFM7

For reference: "main card/show" means stuff that's on the PPV proper, not the Buy-In or whatever the free stuff on youtube is counted as!

I went a little light on props since I just wasn't feeling it for a lot of matches, and just allowed mostly open-ish predictions that I can wait to check until after the show ends. But don't worry there's always Draft Kings if you really need your weird props fix!

Tell me some other dream matches you want to see that we didn't get this time.

Sorry Ice Phoenix but my daughter can't play the prediction game. She's not allowed to post in here according to Jeffrey of YOSPOS since she's under 13. But she will still be watching the ppv with me tomorrow she says. She doesn't seem that upset other than wondering who snitched her out. I told her I don't think its like that

filling out a google form isn't the same as posting, technically

i think we all know of at least one person who always fills these out even though they aren't allowed to post here

It may be hard to believe but after years of not doing it Yoshi-Hashi suddenly started trying a couple of years ago and became one of the better workers in CHAOS, to the point where I can say without too much hyperbole that he carried Goto and Ishii during their 6-man title reign. He just cared so much about keeping the first title he ever won, which in turn made the fans care about belts that had been a joke for their entire existence.

It's a bit more likely than I first thought, I assumed NOAH had shows this week but he doesn't have to be back in Japan until July 2nd, so keep on believing friend

One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
I would like to change my pick for ZSJ’s opponent to another technical wrestler with close ties to Regal: Eugene.

I thought my hail Mary guess was tana beating Mox. Turns out it was betting on the young bucks. In hindsight that was a bad guess because I can totally see dudes with attitudes winning and then setting up bucks vs Darby and sting for the Tag titles.

I don't have anything that isn't behind the NJPW pay wall but if you can find his matches with Kenny Omega or Minoru Suzuki, I think those are the best guys he plays off.

^His Suzuki matches work best when you watch a bunch of their G1 matches. The theme every year is "how will Yano find a way to outsmart Suzuki this year?"

You'll need an NJPW World subscription for this:

Yano was apparently a pretty good amateur wrestler back in the day, but he doesn't seem to be able to do a proper long-form match any more. The closest you'll get to what you've asked for would be back in 2013 when he was built up as a challenger to KENTA in NOAH, and those really were the weakest part of a reign that had some pretty solid defences.

Yano vs Colt Cabana is one of his best matches and it's all weird cheating, essentially laid out as a mirror match
