NJPW New Japan Cup 2023 - March 5 - March 21, 2023

[Chris]

Updated bracket after today. Both Naito and SANADA got wins leading to a match against them two in the semi-finals

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Oh goodie I'll have to deal with Henare on Commentary later during this 3/11 Show. Jeff Cobb was pretty entertaining the other day.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Bruh that Opening Match was a snoozefest. Tama is going to have a cake walk with Henare stop it dude you're a scrub.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

No Kevin it goes beyond Shingo's Hometown not liking Henare winning and wanting to leave it's due to Henare having zero credibility within New Japan to that point to get that win.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

ELP has been passed over and I hope he beats all of Bullet Club's asses for them to say Finlay is the guy now.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Finlay getting in between ELP's Offense bruh get this guy out of here for real. He's acting Young Lion stupid right now.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Owens vs Naito pass on that Match because it's hard to take a Match seriously when an opponent has no shot in winning. KENTA doing some Yano type of stuff to lock up Sanada holy!

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Jesus I haven't liked at all how Sanada been booked in his first 2 New Japan Cup Matches. He gets his ass kicked 90 percent vs Taichi and wins and then now he gets hit with a NJ Strong Title and all of a sudden is okay to beat KENTA seconds later come on. I guess Naito is going to end his dreams of making it any further. They'll do Sanada vs Naito but won't do the best Matchup from LIJ with Shingo vs Naito.

 

[Chris]

Goto/Tama next semifinal confirmed

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Sabre JR vs Umino could be one of my most exciting Matchups I was looking forward to seeing when the New Japan Bracket came out. If Shooter can beat Sabre JR he lines up a TV Title shot, while telling me he's going to win his side of the Bracket. Tama vs Okada could happen but no way Tama could beat Naito to get that NJ Cup I win I feel. Naito losing to Shooter to make things even between the two of them while setting up a Title Match if Naito wins the World Title again to put over Shooter in the future. New Japan will probably fumble the ball with that I bet.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Happy Birthday Music for KENTA awwwh that's oh no!

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Ospreay vs Davis and EVIl vs Cobb could be really great Matches tomorrow. Davis reminds me of a young JBL with all the tools to be one of the top Hoss Dogs in the business.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

The fans are suckers as well as Cobb and Kevin Kelly this Tama vs Henare Match has been really mid so far.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Yeah the last few Minutes was pretty good but that Match for me never got out of first Gear. Both of these guys had better previous Matches honestly.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

The day Cobb does retire from the Ring he has a future Commentating for real. He's so natural with Kevin Kelly for the second time in the row during this NJ Cup.
