>>19702884Why follow up on a kino WK with a bunch of 10 man tag team matches with random indistinguishable gooks?
Tenzan was pretty fucking great. Shame they never got behind him as champion.
Sucks that we have to suffer through a jake lee title defense before anything on tsuji's title reign>inb4 le ironic smart bastard fans
>>19703469I'm not an ironic fan but I also don't like watching him wrestle. I think Tsuji should squash him in a comedy match
>>19702922It is. They had so much just a few days ago and as soon as they announced American shit it all disappeared.Why can't Japanese companies do anything right?
>>19703469Eh first defenses are almost always filler anyway
>>19702922Lol no it aint
Uemura's gotta win the cup this year right? They've given all his contemporaries big spots, and he's a great tourney wrestler
>>19703469He does fine enough in title matches with good workers that its not too much of an issue for me unless he's winning. If Tsuji loses then theres a massive issue.
>>19704568>with good workerswe're fucked then
>>19704563I actually hadn't given thought to who could win it this year. High possibility it's Shota lmao
>>19704684Nah he's got the G1
Yuya wins the Cup, Wolf wins the G1 and the hebbyq
With the amount of dates its gotta be 32 people in, right? I'll vote for Uemura to win something until he actually wins something but theres very few wrong choices for me except for like Zack again or something.
>>19705012what about to keep (you) sweating anon it's an Oiwa/ZSJ final and Oiwa wins+takes leadership of tmdk. maybe that matchup result is to obvious to hype pull off however
>>19704563Preference would be Uemura or Oiwa, but the pattern calls for Umino to win.
I have the feeling they are going to take things frustratingly slow ith Oiwa
>>19705223>rich family>not very unique personality but looks good enough>50 title shots lost already, where all the sympathy for him comes fromYou already know. See you in 16 years, brother
>>19705248G in IWGP stands for GRIP
>>19704684>>19705213I know this is very much in play, but this guy has done nothing to warrant it
Look man, we're just going to have to bear through the inevitable Tsuji vs Shota dome main event next year (unless it's Tsuji vs Okada which is possible but unlikely) then we can move on from the Reiwa faggots to greener pastures.
>>19706412I love that there are some power/choppa guys coming down the line with Ice, Oiwa, Murashima, etcPeople who say the future isn't bright are wrong. I think the next 10 years are going to be pretty damn good.
