hope that bum misses another table

Right.

We really have to factor in how much Kenny Omega has wanted a triple threat match on a stage like this.

Cody is more than capable. I'm optimistic.

I expect him and Ibushi to do crazy shyt for 20 minutes and Cody play spoiler for nearfalls and cut off spots for 5. Then a 5-8 minute finishing sequence with a bunch of more crazy shyt

EVIL and Jericho have interacted a couple of times now - I'm pretty sure he's next up for an IC title shot. I have a feeling he gets his revenge on Zack before moving onto that

I'm fully expecting Alpha to catch mans slipping and then stand over his fallen form like "EVERYTHING IS JERICHO "

Nobody wants to see Jericho/Evil.

LIJ about to reveal the new member.

Decent show so far, Suzuki hit Ishii with some of the stiffest forearms I have seen in a while, and I have seen a lot of them during the G1.

Spoiler: The new LIJ member

Shingo Takagi

 

[Superkick Party]

Shingo huh

"The Dragon's Gate has opened into The Den of Lions."

:wowwbanderas:

 

[TheGodling]

Ibushi's talent to draw power from the demon realm is always amazing to watch.

fukk that shyt finish though.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

how was the show, best matches?

 

[Jmare007]

Holy shyt, it WAS Shingo

It's so good when you are so wrong

 

[Jmare007]

BTW, was it announced if Shingo will be a Jr or a heavyweight? I'd be even more shocked if he signed to be a junior Even if he can move up eventually, it would be a demotion for dude, not sure I've seen it before in puro for a guy that has his status as a legit main eventer.

Spoiler

The Tongans and Kiwis got tired of that treatment and squaded up

I watched English commentary and neither Kevin Kelly nor Rocky Romero were sure about it. They talked about how he has visibly slimmed down but figured they would find out depending on whether he'll be in the World Tag League or not.

The show was good from beginning to end but I didn't care much for Kushida vs Scurll. The main event was great although it took a bit for Cody to find his rhythm and the finish was shyt. Also, there was tons of pre- and post-match fukkery, even moreso than normal.

Seems like a lot happened on this show. The Dragon Gate influence already taking place, with changes in the stables

 

[MenacingMonk]

Damn, they’re gonna do Evil/Jericho? Evil’s a solid talent, but I was hoping for an A talent for him to work.
