BTW, if they really going the :demonic: route with Ibushi then Okada better prepare himself for a beating. Like a Shibata-lite experience, Kota goes full retard when he loses his shyt :ohlawd: I remember he almost concussed Sekimoto to death in 2010 when he first showed this side of him.

Hold the fukk up....Liger isn't wrestling a single match for his retirement? :what:

Why didn't they just save Liger and Suzuki for the Dome because Suzuki ain't doing shyt either.

They've got two nights and the most they can give Ishii is tagging with Yo He Trash, B and Yano? :francis:

Man, if Sano could still go that tag match on Night 2 could be something else. Ohtani would've been ideal for the quality of the match but Liger gotta roll with his buddy I guess...



BTW, they are REALLY playing with fire making both losers of Night 1 face each other on Night 2. I guess White and Okada (yeah right :mjlol:) can take 2 straight Ls if needed but if it ends up being Naito....:dead:

One would guess it's gonna be Okada vs White with Okada getting his W back though.

This is probably what Liger wants tbh. No way he tags with Sano in Night 2 unless he specifically requested it.

Just like my MOTY this year is Sekimoto/Sato from January. :russ:

I tought the rematch between Hino and Sekimoto would take your spot as MOTY. I think it's gonna be mine :wow:

Besides the IWGP vs IC thing, those could definitely be condensed to one much stronger card. Taguchi is so out of place in that Liger tag. Moxley and Jericho getting singles matches, but Ishii is stuck in a filler 8 man tag and not even on night 2? All that teasing of Shibata returning just for Goto to wrestle for him?

There's the potential for the US/Tag titles being held by one guy as well as IWGP/IC belts held by one person coming out of these shows. Why the hell is there a loser/loser match on night 2? What purpose does that serve?

Pretty sure the winner of the loser/loser match will get a title shot during the New Beginning tour in February while the person who loses twice will get a redemption arc after two big losses. Don't think Juice is walking out with two belts unless Gedo is really sold on him being the top gaijin heavyweight.
