Sanada/Taichi but there's a return at the end. Tanahashi/Makabe.

Bucks/LIJ kinda sucked too tbh but it was short and I liked the finish

 

[Chris]

Bro the win was even better than I imagined it busted my eardrums man

 

[Chris]

This is the perfect example of "just fucking do it" booking, don't go back to the old habits Gedo

Not opposed but for some reason my brain is really pushing for Buddy to get that win and I highly doubt we get both (or either realistically lol)

I'd mark hard for both because neither woukd b boring telegraphs like some forced previous booking. But I digress. There is a story for both to make sense. Where's the ppv again? I could see buddy losing but then they have Brody win over Okada as he's more the c2 bridesmaid than Buddy. Mercedes can lose anytime shes proved her point n need to move to main title (lol at the Mercedes doesn't job weirdos tho)

The next PPV is Philly.

I just think Buddy should win almost as a reward for loyalty and bc I don't think the belt helps Okada at all but it could Buddy. Harley I think gets made more having her first big match even if she doesn't win.

And it's not even like Gedo just booked Goto to win the never title again (closest equivalent to the C2 I guess), he fuckin won the big one. The most bold thing he's done in 10 years probably

Boldest since having Okada beat Tana I guess ?

Could maybe argue those first Ibushi or Ospreay wins but we were clamoring for them too

 

[ScareValue]

Yeah it was a nice moment…but was it worth ruining my years worth of Goto fails material? You goto ask yourself that.

 

[Dat Girl]

Spoiler

Never thought I'd see the day Goto is champ

For sure this feels weird not watching a Show on the New Beginning Tour till the big one I'm about to watch. I saw that New Japan Cup and I'll have loads to say on that as New Japan tries to think I was born last Week with their nonsense.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

I'm I suppose to be invested in Makabe vs Tana?

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Yaw really started with these two and they are doing rest holds oh God I'm in for a long Show if they think this was a good decision to start off this Show with
