I'm not sure if any of the folks I met in 2009 were already regulars in 2002. Probably some of them.
I've been told that Zeus has bought up all of the Osaka Pro stock and will be reviving the promotion next year. We're all pretty excited for that.
That main event was some vintage Osaka Pro/Chikaa-style in-ring fun. I loved that.
Great show. Wall to wall entertainment, two hours flew by like nothing.
I want to see Lulu Pencil in the AEW ring!
Also, I enjoyed seeing straight-up squash matches, even if I agree that it's most fun to watch Dustin when he's fighting from underneath.
Thanks!
I have already been in touch with, and heard back from, ZEUS, Kenji, Kae, and Kaoru. Obviously, we are all freaking out over here. Very much looking forward to seeing what ZEUS' version of Osaka Pro will be like.
Without spoiling tonight's result, I'll say that regardless of who takes B block, we are damn near guaranteed a great final.
And the B-block determiner should be pretty damned good as well.
I am stealing that joke.
I guess we get Bryan vs Dustin, Kingston, Mox, with a Mox heel turn in the final to set up heel Mox vs new Anxious Millennial Champion, and Bryan feuds with whomever interferes to oost him the tournament win (maybe Kenny again?)
Mox v Wheeler and Hogan (not that one) v Penelope added.to.the announced card, which I think was:
Dragon vs Fish
Lucha Bros vs A Masked Tag Team of Andrade's acquaintance
Dante v Malakai
