I've really enjoyed Taichi/Sabre so far, particularly against LIJ and Page/Takahashi. Agreed that it's been a fun tournament so far, although nothing must-see.

The only thing announced for the final night is Goto-Ibushi for the NEVER title.

I don't believe anything's been pushed for the final night beyond Goto/Ibushi as noted above.  Fingers crossed that leads to Ibushi/Ospreay for WK.

There are a couple 6 man tags any day now featuring Tanahashi & Okada working together.  Absolutely checking those out, but otherwise no plans to dip in here unless I hear something is particularly compelling.  Its still so odd to me that the company almost books itself cold 6 weeks out of its biggest annual show.

I'm really not sure what the end game would be on a Best Friends feud. Chuckie T going to Bullet Club and being part of a new North American version?

Along with Goto-Ibushi for the NEVER title they're doing Taichi-Ospreay for a title shot, which I imagine sets up Ospreay-Ibushi at WK.

Taichi-Ospreay

Nice. I actually look forward to this more than Goto vs Ibushi, simply because it's probably gonna be more *fun*.

Let's hope.  A bit worried they could shoehorn Goto in and make it a threeway.

Anything worth checking out on this tour yet?  I popped in for a couple of the Tana/Okada tags, which were all fine, but have yet to hear of anything in the tag league that is appointment viewing.

If I'm picking one match, Taichi/Sabre vs. LIJ. Taichi/Sabre also had good matches with Page/Takahashi and Suzuki/Iizuka. Best Friends vs. GOD was also pretty fun.

Not that I know of, I typically tune out during the tag league. But I agree on Goto. Like he's decent, but not really the guy I would always give this sort of push to.

Taichi/Ospreay was awesome. By far the most Kawada-esque performance Taichi has ever turned in.

Damn, and now I really want to watch that match despite the fact I don't care for the card very much. Yeah, I noticed the Kawada influence before too when he gets serious.

I believe Kawada trained him.

And it showed. Excellent match indeed. Best match of the show really, which went down after that point (Goto vs Ibushi wasn't as good and the main event was just there, the Tongans aren't main eventers by any stretch of the imagination).

Everyone should check out yesterday's Tana/Ospreay vs. Golden Lovers main event.  Another outstanding tag from New Japan's singles crew.  While not exactly a focus of the promotion as these outings are never part of the tag title picture, the company has quietly put on a ton of spectacular tags this year.

Adding the Golden Lovers has really elevated these main event tag matches. Their matches with Ishii/Ospreay, Ishii/Okada, Cody/Page have all been excellent too, and I can't imagine another pair of singles guys reaching this consistent a level in tags.

Definitely gonna watch those Korakuen shows in the days to come.

I didn't realize until now, but on paper the Tokyo Dome line-up is absolutely insane.

IN-SANE.

You can be selective on the Korakuen shows.  Night 2 main event is required viewing, and I enjoyed the young lions opener because its fun to see them get a chance to go that ong, but beyond that go for whatever looks appealing.  Nothing else is really required.
