I would assume either he picks or there is no title shot, but I don't like the sound of either of those ideas. I figure, to avoid that confusion, he'll make it to the finals and lose, then put the title on the line in a rematch against the winner, a la Low Ki last year (if I remember correctly).

4. Best of the Super Jr. – Block A: Titan [6] beat Rocky Romero (7:14) with the Titanics.
5. Togi Makabe, Hirooki Goto & Tomoaki Honma beat Kazuchika Okada, Tomohiro Ishii & YOSHI-HASHI (14:40) when Makabe used a King Kong kneedrop on YOSHI-HASHI.

So it will be Devitt vs. Omega and Taguchi vs. Shelley on Sunday. Even though I know Taguchi's going to win, I'd love to see Devitt vs. Shelley or even Omega vs. Shelley in the final. fukk Taguchi and his push.
Can't win 'em all, I suppose (Unless you're the champ and ace that's probably leaving the division soon). How much weight do you guys think Devitt's put on in the last few months? Because he seems to be looking noticeably bigger these days, almost at his Dynamite Kid II peak.

Dammit, I need to get to watching these matches this weekend. I've been too caught up in Chris Hero's Smart Mark shoot to do so, but I'm gonna have to get through the block stuff before the final show on Sunday.
NJPW's JR division is that bad. Everyone who has come over for a short stint has instantly looked like the second best guy around. Think about it, all of the top NJPW jr matches these last however many years, be it singles or tag, has involved Devitt and an outsider.

If you have premium RapidGator or Uploaded (or if you can get TurboBit to work for you), then check the links in your PM.
If not, there's a way to watch at least half of the shoot online, though there's some doing that people might not be willing to do to watch the full shoot.

I know, it's a total struggle division. They do bring in really talented outsiders to prop it up though, but the guys don't usually get as over as Ricochet has on this tour.

Ricochet is so great.
