By far my favorite of his heel spots lol I literally pop every time

Yeah I second that. Kevin went down and sat down Indian style because of it. I would of acted like I've got shot out of a Cannon.

The best are the couple times he'll be brawling outside and end up behind the table himself and people do the spot on him lol I can't remember the matches that's happened in but it's been 2 so far I remember

A whole lot of chaos during that Davis vs EVIL Match but hey EVIL loses so it's all positives from me.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Man this is crazy if I didn't know and it was hinted at Sanada and Taichi before hand possibly coming together I would of thought Taichi going back to his evil ways. Shingo and the rest of LIJ are pissed as they should be. Taichi I know was talking shit to Shingo

If Sanada leaves why would Shingo stay on? I can totally see him being a Leader of a Squad to be honest down the road. He's too good to play second fiddle to Naito. I'm really looking forward to what Naito has to say on Sanada leaving the group.

Davis vs Sanada
Tama vs Umino.

Man Umino vs Sanada would be insane.

SANADA has officially left LIJ and joined Taichi and are now called Just 5 Guys. Also a callback to their AJPW days as well

Semi-finals are set. I'd say pretty predictable on the right side, kind of on the left side as well if you pretend it's SANADA/Ospreay instead lol But with SANADA and Finlay both new faction leaders, I'd be fucking shocked if it's not them in the finals and that's now a lot less predictable of a match-up. Mark Davis is the fucking man though, if they give him the upset I'd mark

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Well damn I thought New Japan would do the best Matchup and it seems Sanada is going to win the New Japan Cup after all. Problem is I've seen Okada vs Sanada enough times to know how they map out their Matches with each other. Which is why I wanted to see someone like Umino beat Sanada because it's fresh and new to the eyes of mines and alot of fans. I don't know if I even want to finish this Download because I imagine a whole lot of bs with BC with Shooter making a mistake or two to costing him the Match. I don't see FInlay doing anything within BC you would think as the new leader he would elevate his Game to Jay White and he's been no where near that level in this NJ Cup for me.

Naito

Only a few hours away till we see who is making the Finals in the New Japan Cup.

 

[Comrade Khan]

watching tama finlay live. i dunno how I feel about the iron man gear from Tama

 

[Comrade Khan]

match was decent. Finlay's finisher is ass and his moveset is a bit sloppy. not a fan at this point

 

[Comrade Khan]

Sanada looks fucking weird what the hell he cut his hair and its black now

 

[Comrade Khan]

Mark Davis lfg (he def losing)

 

[Comrade Khan]

lmao Okhan is the best

 

[Comrade Khan]

Sanada got a fade and everything. wild

 

[Comrade Khan]

man those were two wet fart finishes lol great match though. Davis looked great. idk about this new moveset and look for Sanada though. feels a bit like two CAWs in the finals
