The Champion Carnival finals will be: Kento Miyahara vs Jake Lee.


Lee has been the favorite since this whole thing started but he got in ouch of sheer luck - had a tie breaker match against an exhausted Nomura, ala Misawa in 97' - amd Kento losing back to back finals while being the champ would be weird as fukk

I guess it makes sense since Jake Lee left Kento Nextream stable. Still made Nomura strong by wrestling two matches back to back.

I guess they waiting later this year on next CC to put the young bull over Kneto.

Lee totally dropped the ball at the CC though, like he clearly isn't ready yet.

Nomura on the other hand could hold his own if he's the chosen one to dethrone Kento eventually (probably this year).

Liger massaging and icing Taguchi's butt after their tag match.

We don't do that in Roppongi.

I mean, I get what he's saying in that tweet but at that poor fukker chanting for 1 minute and not getting 1 single person to chant along
with him

It's also funny how he only needing to scream "Konami" or chant "KO-NA-MI" and the crowd would've probably joined him. But he had to go full neckbeard and make an embarrassment of himself.

Honestly? This clip only shows how much modern wrestling fans get away with chanting in "unison" (as far as a large uncoordinated group of white people can do that) because every chant sounds cringeworthy, forced and like a bunch of crap.

Kento Miyahara is about to make a few more fans. Meltzer's been hyping him up a lot on the Observer.

Yeah Dave called him the best "non genius/non super athletic" wrestler in the world. That categorizing Kenny and Tana are safe for now. Seeing him live impressed Dave a lot apparently

The fukk?

Come on with this nonsense. Is the man good or not? We don't need all these other qualifiers to protect your favored guys' reputations.

Dave is something else sometimes...

That's pretty much exactly how I saw it. Tana and Naito are the genius part, Ibushi/Okada/Kenny are the athletic.

His main point was that Miyahara never does anything too spectacular (as in extreme high spots/bumping or even super stiff offense) but all his matches are excellent. He compared him very favorably with Flair and Dave loves Flair so he certainly thinks he's a great worker.

As an aside a mailbag question asked Dave who had the worst match with Flair and Warrior came up. Flair told Dave that he tried to have a good match with him but couldn't. The image of Ric on a big brick phone telling Dave how much Warrior sucked

Who had the worst match with our hero Misawa Or Kawada/Kobashi. Hash has a fair few iffy matches in fairness just down to various political strife. Tenryu too.
