I was reading WTL blocks to Beth yesterday and Yuj and SANADA just look so much cooler(they are) than everyone in this block. I like almost everyone in this block too. They’re just Sex Pistols in their 40s.

I’ll miss El Hijo De Tokyo Pimps a lot when he loses at WK. Felt like Yuj was a real mentor to him from him taking the pre match promo degrading from him. To Yuj passing down TOKYOPIMPS when he won the junior title. He also definitely told him “Stack your paper by any means.”

OZAWA has become my NOAH ZSJ where I dread him working a singles, but I personally thought most of the work in him vs Naito was pretty good. Most of the big issues come from his inability to pace a main yet and stamina on both ends later on in the match leading to slip ups

When people get into Puro later it humors me, but not in like an Elitist way. It’s just they’re adults and typicallly they’ve watched wrestling long enough to understand some things. I first saw NJPW when I was 13 and I saw all the top guys by the third episode I watched

Think Mante is a good fit for NOAH this time around. He brings a different style to the heavyweight scene. The first N-1 he did wasn’t good, but Mante when he got the Dream Gate and the months that followed were weird. He’s returned to form a bit this past year.

Tekkers vs Nobu and Marufuji very good due to being a match very much not pieced together by Dangerous Tekkers. Everything is kept compact and everything matters which is when I think ZSJ can be good. Then add in the other 3 including the best worker in NJPW(Kanemaru) and it’s a good time.

Taniguchi is my NOAH Yujiro, not in the sense he’s my favorite wrestler. In the sense I think he’s the most underrated worker to ever come out of his dojo, everyone left and he stayed, and idk if he’ll ever get his true flowers. 1/2
