Finished watching today's show and Sanada vs Sabre Jr was really good. Same for the previous semis between Juice and Tanahashi.
Sabre easily has been the MVP of this tournament and having Taka as his mouthpiece was a really great idea. Also helps Sabre's style meshes a lot better with NJPW's style than with WWE's and CWC's styles. Comes off as a legit submission machine in NJPW and not being out of place like he was during his brief stay in the WWE. |

Strong Style Evolved card:
1. SHO/Yo/Rocky Romero [CHAOS] vs. Christopher Daniels/Frankie Kazarian/Scorpio Sky [SoCal Uncensored] 2. Juice Robinson/David Finlay [Sekigun] vs. Hirooki Goto/Gedo [CHAOS] 3. Chuckie T/Toru Yano [CHAOS] vs. Lance Archer/Davey Boy Smith Jr. [Suzuki-gun] 4. Tanga Loa/Tama Tonga [Bullet Club] vs. Cody/Marty Scurll [Bullet Club] 5. Hiroshi Tanahashi/KUSHIDA/Ryusuke Taguchi/Dragon Lee [Sekigun] vs. Tetsuya Naito/SANADA/Hiromu Takahashi/BUSHI [Los Ingobernables de Japon] 6. Jushin Thunder Liger [Sekigun] vs. Will Ospreay [CHAOS] 7. Kazuchika Okada/Tomohiro Ishii [CHAOS] vs. Minoru Suzuki/Zack Sabre Jr. [Suzuki--gun] 8. IWGP US Heavyweight Championship: Jay White (V1 defense) vs. Hangman Page [Bullet Club] 9. Kenny Omega/Kota Ibushi [Bullet Club/Sekigun] vs. Matt Jackson/Nick Jackson [Bullet Club] Looks pretty great, several of those matches should kick ass. Liger/Ospreay feels like quite a come down from Liger/Mysterio though. Nothing against Ospreay, but that's a match they could run on any card. Would've liked to have seen them pull another 90s WCW cruiserweight like Ultimo Dragon or Psicosis out of the ether. Also, no Elgin on the show is kinda telling. It shows that they're well aware of how toxic his brand is in the states yet they still have no qualms about booking him in Japan. |

How is the Golden Lovers V Young Bucks not the best tag match on that card?!
7. Kazuchika Okada/Tomohiro Ishii [CHAOS] vs. Minoru Suzuki/Zack Sabre Jr. [Suzuki--gun] Goddamn |

Kind of disappointed they are debuting Shin'yu against Davey Boy Jr so all the fun and hi-jinks will be sucked directly into his charisma vacuum.
