  1. Interesting, my head says all new gen guys but the heart says the Revolution is never over

  2. This is a prove it match for Shooter for me. Say what you will about the tag team but the singles spotlight is a different beast. I still don’t feel a connection to him as much as the other members of the new era because I just feel like he’s not fully showing ‘himself’. Certain parts are there but without that sort of connection it’s hard to say he should be headlining anything.

    ZSJ is great at bringing that side out so hopefully I’ll feel like ‘okay, I can trust in Shooter’ after the match.

  3. Still catching up on the last handful of tourney matches and it’s actually so fucking funny how much Callum likes being thrown into chairs

    Hopefully if he keeps winning they keep escalating it and we get something like the Hiromu/Ishimori BOSJ finals spot 

  4. Boltin gonna beat Ren (set up a title match)
    Yuya beats Shingo
    Callum beats Goto (getback on his loss at Dontaku)
    Zack beats Shota (Zack gets Yuya over in the final)
