I really have no idea who's gonna take it this year

sounds like it's gonna be good

TAKA Michinoku!?

HOLY FUCK, count me in.

JUSHIN LIGER #1

Love to see TJP & Jr make some waves though
I hope this motivates Tiger Mask to stop being lazy and put on the classics we know he can

WOW Ibushi & Devitt lose
WAR Jr though

Really not surprised to see Devitt put Davey Richards over, because he has all the makings of becoming a gaijin superstar. Pegasus Kid Jr, I say.

Ibushi on the other hand, I really expected them to give him some early momentum in the tournament.

Also, sucks to see TAKA lose cleanly. Although going against the Great Sasuke, it's not really that much of a surprise to me.

Yeah i agree Davey is Benoit 2.0
Really bummed out Liger lost in 3 minutes

I luved Benoit as a wrestler cuz he reminded me so much of the Dynamite Kid.

Davey Richards is a damn good wrestler too.

Liger and TAKA gotta put over, they're getting really old.

but to the Great Sasuke?

He's such an egomaniac. It should have been the other way around.

0. Hiromu Takahashi over Takaaki Watanabe in 7:36 with a crab hold.
1. Fujita "Jr." Hayato [4] over Taichi [0] in 8:34 with the K.I.D.
2. Ryusuke Taguchi [4] over Daisuke Sasaki [0] in 7:18 with the Milano-saku Dodon's Throne.
3. Davey Richards [4] over Jado [0] in 13:01 with the Sharpshooter.
4. TAKA Michinoku [2] over Gedo [0] in 10:01 by Heavy Killer #1.
5. Satoshi Kojima, Togi Makabe and Tomoaki Honma over Takashi Iizuka, Toru Yano and Tomohiro Ishii in 12:28 after Kojima used a lariat on Ishii.
6. Kenny Omega [4] over Koji Kanemoto [0] in 11:43 by pinfall.
7. Prince Devitt [2] over TJP [0] in 8:51 with the Bloody Sunday.
8. KUSHIDA [2] over Kota Ibushi [0] in 12:46 after the Midnight Express.
9. The Great Sasuke [4] over Jushin Thunder Liger [0] in 17:35 with an Octopus hold.

Note 1: Heavy Killer #1 is like a cross-arm rana hold thing.
Note 2: Kind of odd to have the attendance that early, they must have sold out whatever they had it set up to hold.
Note 3: Omega may have injured himself. Probably just selling.
Note 4: KUSHIDA refused to shake hands with Kota Ibushi. KUSHIDA winning has to be seen as a major upset.

Nakanishi lost movement in his body after a German from Inoue and was taken out by ambulance, I hope he's ok

HL from the first 3 days

TAKA with a clean win over Jushin Liger is more than enough to make me happy.

Really surprised to see Omega with more points than Richards though.

I'm not, Omega is waaaay bigger in JP due to his epic team with Ibushi, Davey hasn't really done shit in japan
