  • Final: A Block Winner vs. B Block Winner

 

 


First day at Korakuen looks dope, same as the 1st night in Osaka, all from Block B of course.

Really interested in what they draw for night 1 at Budokan. How much people can Tanahashi vs Okada keep drawing? It's the only real option they had in that block too.

Night 2 at Budokan is very solid. Kenny vs Ibushi and Naito vs Sabre fighting for a spot in the finals.

The more predictable outcome is Okada vs Ibushi with Okada winning, with Nato beating Kenny on night 1 of their block, securing a title shot for Sep. or Oct. Is Gedo really gonna do the Tana/Okada storyline again (this time for Naito/Okada) just 3 years after he originally booked it? We'll see..

It's crazy how much better the B Block is than the A Block. They should have at least traded Ishii for Page or Makabe, ha. And it definitely looks like the finals will be Okada vs. Ibushi or Naito unless they really hammer home how devastated Okada is at losing the title and go with Tanahashi.

It seems like almost every year there's one guy in the tournament who really steps up and breaks out. Last year it was Juice Robinson, hopefully someone like Page or White can do that this year.

I'm really pulling for a big tournament from Page. I think he's been great this year, although I was a little underwhelmed by his match with Takahashi. Very excited to see him get a crack at Okada.

I'm still holding on to hope for Jay White because as bad as his run has been, he's still shown those flashes of promise when he was a Young Lion and in ROH. I think if he fails to deliver here you can throw him in the bin, but if he wrestles like he does against David Finlay, he may surprise us.
