Just went through and put the spoiler tags on the NJPW Cup results. Spoiled it for myself in the process

Respect. I just came in to see if a dailymotion link had dropped.

Same reason I came in the thread too. Watched the previous rounds this weekend

Damn near every NJPW theme reminds me of being a kid, full of sugar in an arcade like with pocket money on deck

AJ v Ibushi. Goddamn, we got a fukking encounter on our hands

@Jmare007 I TOLD YOU AJ WAS BEST FOR BUSINESS BREH

Show was aight, Goto v Makabe was meh, Kota/Naito and the final are must watch. The CHAOS/BC tag really surprised me and turned out solid. Shibata/Honma v Tonga/Hall was 100% better than it had any reason being. Honda is that dude

Spoiler: Question

Just a question: Do you think NJPW may pull the trigger on Ibushi? Do you think he's ready to be IWGP Heavyweight Champion? I would love to see him be the next one to carry the company.

The second they had him become a heavyweight I said this was coming. Ibushi is a media darling in Japan, super over with crowds, popular with girls, a draw in his own right, and on top of that he can flat out go in the ring. Does he beat AJ? It's a legit 50/50. The belt is without a doubt ending up with Tanahashi or Okada in time for 1/4, until then anything is a toss up. I could absolutely see a short experiment with Kota as the champ.

@JudgeJoeGorilla

I caught the match in January at WK9 and having known nothing about him, beforehand he made me a fan.

I think they'll give it a shot. They have a wealth of talent to fall back on, if not
