It's been awhile since I participated in one of these, excited to finally be back.

Idk what the etiquette is for posting predictions these days, I do have a full sheet filled out, but I'm just going to call this result early: SANADA loses to Kiyomiya, but Kiyomiya in turn loses to all 3 Reiwa Musketeers.

Post the predictions! Make your shame public! I'm currently filling out my own predictions right now and am very much looking forward to seeing it all fall apart by match drat 1 like it did last year!

:sickos:

Yep, going about it in different ways but I've also picked an Okada vs. Ospreay final with Ospreay winning the whole thing.



Man, I know people are a little down on the format this year but the ol' MATHTM magic hit as I was trying to figure out the various permutations for the final nights for each block :allears:

I feel bad about some of the low totals I gave some wrestlers, but also... well, yeah, I didn't buy that they would win the matches they have! :shrug:

Gotta convince him to dump NOAH and come to New Japan somehow! Of course, NOAH might counter by booking him wel..... sorry, I couldn't finish that sentence :laugh:

Suzuki screaming at him, Narita turns a despairing look to Shibata who glances over from his newspaper, mutters,"Listen to your dad" and goes back to reading.

No no, Kaito beats Narita and Shota but loses to Tsuji! But Kiyomiya beats SANADA who beats Tsuji!
