Hiromu vs Yano continues to be the story of this NJ Cup series. Hiromu facing off against Ishii was very good too.

Also, I am sure they are selling Naito wrestling with a shirt on as 'Naito isn't bothering' but it's 110% obvious that he's flabby from not working out.

They also should've set up the matches differently so SANADA faced Yoshi Hashi and Sho faced Bushi rather than having that pointless Yoshi Hashi/Bushi match and Yoshi Hashi making it to the quarter finals.

Gedo booking Taichi like Covid-19, running through everything and taking all the joy out of things.

Holy fukk, Hiromu's neck almost got folded in half again.

Yoshi Hashi must have gotten injured again considering the way they jobbed him out.

Man, now that it is very possible that we might get another chapter in the Okada/SANADA "rivalry" for the finals I actually worry about what Gedo's going to do.

One hand EVIL has been heeling it up more this tournament so we might get a random EVIL push but SANADA ain't ever getting out of this booking slur if he doesn't beat EVIL here.

I definitely don't see Hiromu defeating Okada, feels like the match itself will be Hiromu's reward. But then again it would be such a cheap way for Gedo to get the Hiromu/Naito match done that I can see him doing that too.

EVIL beat him like he owed him money, then tapped him out with The Sharpshooter on GOAT 'The GOATGOAT' GOAT's birthday

Hiromu's on a mad ting though

Are we sure the injury isn't just being Yoshi Hashi?

It will never not be baffling to me that Kawada's protegee has worked this goofy ass singer gimmick for like a decade

Being Yoshi Hashi causes injuries.

 

[Legal]

Being Yoshi Hashi causes injuries.

I felt so bad for him when that happened.

That was also when I understood the sentiment that Yoshi Hashi is just a giant goof. This is supposed to be his big moment when he gets to to be taken seriously, and he does a job to the ring steps.

 

[The Rainmaker]

The streak... is over.

I really thought they were going for a Taichi-Naito match. They've been rivals since Taichi made the switch to heavyweight.

Besides, it's only the New Japan Cup. Goto has won like three of these, so it means nothing.
