  1. Looking like a great card can’t wait will Callum feel that GENE BLAST or will Yota KISS THE CROWN also I’m interacting with the discussion thread on this Sub because /r/Squaredcircle banned me from commenting on other posts on there for no reason for a few days so yeah.

  2. Nakahara has awesome physicality and fire for such a recent debutant. Great prospect.

  3. Im really curious for the tag title match and Tsuji – Callum. I think KOB should beat Zack/Oiwa again, but if so there needs to be something to happen. For the main event of course Tsuji defending is more likely, but they went crazy all in on Callum so I see at least a 10% chance for him

  4. I didnt get to watch the road to. Why didnt Drilla Maloney wrestle in the 6man tag match? Last I knew, he and Shingo looked like they were making a great tag team.

  5. Surprised Dia’s not in, but Jun Kasai is a wild pull. Also surprised he’s not in the same block as Despe

  6. There was weirdly very little Uemura vs Ospreay in that match. Strange that the focus was on Taichi vs Ospreay.

  7. Yuj actually put in a decent shift there, that match was a lot better than I was expecting.

  8. Gat Damn. That Tag Match was fire. Oiwa looked so good but his inability to finish felt like it put all that momentum away..

  9. I cant stand these cutscene type endings

    Bloodline forever ruined ref bumps for me

  10. Weird show overall IMO.

    The tag match was amazing, and the main event was solid enough. The rest largely felt like a throw away. 

    First time I’ve been legitimately surprised by a IWGP title outcome in a long time.

    Don’t really care for some of the setup.

    Owens vs Take is a terrible matchup. Takes run hasn’t been good so far, and Owens isn’t going to help.

    Having Osprey ask Newman to help over in AEW really reenforces the fear that Callum is just chilling until a spot opens up for him there.
