In general I'm expecting the match quality to be significantly higher than last year. There's also just way more top match ups to look forward to this year in my opinion, especially where wrestlers like Takeshita are concerned.
Which block bouts are you most excited for? Any match of the tournament predictions?
From A Block, I'm actually very excited for Taichi vs Tsuji now that he's made it into the tournament. I think they could tear it up. I would've expected Tsuji vs Goto to be up there as well but Taichi is a brilliant wrestler too. Tanahashi vs Tsuji as well could be very good. And Uemura vs Tsuji. A lot of Tsuji for A Block I expect lol.
B Block is absolutely stacked. I can't wait for Takeshita against basically the whole Block. Takeshita vs ZSJ, Gabe Kidd, Takagi Wrestle Kingdom rematch, hell his match against El phantasmo last year had no business being as good as it was that was insane. Then there's Gabe against ZSJ champ vs champ, Takagi against both of them. Think Umino could really surprise people too.
ZSJ vs Gabe Kidd as the top 2 champions is probably THE match for me. Their match last year was fantastic.
