NJPW Best of Super Juniors 30 - May 12 - May 28, 2023

Well its nooj so hell get a title shot no matter what imo?

Almost certainly, just weird sometimes with the foreigners for scheduling.

Also both tag champs dropped D1, I don't really see Clark teaming with anyone to challenge them but Douki/Kanemaru vs Knight/Kushida would be great for Dominion

 

[Chris]

That Muta Lock that Titan finished with was sick af

 

[Chris]

Kevin Kelly putting over side headlocks in a BOSJ tournament lmao

 

[Chris]

I wonder if Kanemaru's leg being fucked is going to be a story the whole tournament, same with Douki's arm from earlier with Kushida

*Despy not Kanemaru I mean

 

[Chris]

Crowd has gotten hotter for every match, this main event is about to be nuts

 

[Chris]

Oh I guess Kevin just gave an out to how Kanemaru can beat the favorites but lose a lot of other matches "he struggles with people he's never faced before"

 

[Chris]

114 matches in the last year for Speedball, insane

 

[Chris]

Speedball complimenting Oiwa's mullet before the match

 

[Chris]

Going crazy in the crowd lol

 

[Chris]

Fucking HELL that sunset flip bomb

 

[Chris]

Fucking insane match, Speedball is not human

 

[Chris]

Outside of the Sho match, everything delivered on this show, even the short af Taguchi match, great first day. Main event and Douki/Kushida my top two matches

 

[Chris]

Chris logged off because he thought Speedball would cut the backstage promo in English but he's doing it in Japanese and we have no translator
