I think we’re getting to close to either A) A Dalton Castle heel turn or B) A Dalton Castle departure. Both announcers went out of their way to suggest Castle was inside his own head, disappointed and struggling. I really hope it’s neither of those (Though I would LOVE a Castle-Velveteen Dream showdown) but it was quite the burial on commentary
The Ospreay match was bad over in Japan. He needs six months off at this point.

JR could have a role in being a counterweight to some of the goofy ideas the Elite have. My big worry about AEW is that Kenny and the Bucks will get too cute with their ideas and it won't work well.
Also not all conservatives are rotten, horrible people (and this is coming from me) . We don't even know if JR is one TBH (Even though it's likely). I mean, Cornette's from the same school and he's a huge liberal.

Taichi/Honma was the worst NJPW singles match I've ever seen. All Honma's fault, he should retire. You could see Taichi working light as a feather on purpose and Honma being unable to physically do anything.
Juice/Chase was an 80s match, for good and bad. Loved the old Tommy Young spots. Should not have been right after the Taichi/Honma stinker.
Ishii/Nagata was awesome.

Here's a wrestling what-if. What if Ventura had stuck around with WCW until the NWO? (assume no Heenan- Hogan liked Ventura so Ventura would have been safe). How would he have been regarding the NWO- would he have gone face announcer saying it crossed the line, or would he be doing his same schtick, or some combination of both?

Illinois is almost the same; I live right outside Champaign but spent 12 years downstate so I understand. Still, all my experiences in Indiana -- including in Indianapolis, even...
Indiana scared me more than Mississippi and Alabama ever could traveling through them.

This was the best Jay White performance tonight to me. He upped his in-ring game with how he was doing things, and seems to be developing his in-ring character to where his out-of-ring character is.
Ospreay was Ospreay, though he sold a little bit instead of none. Jay really is best when his opponent sells well, and well, that isn't Ospreay.

Depending on what the card looks like, I'll consider the 2 and half hour drive Jacksonville for that.
If you're near Orlando- CEO should be an option. It's not announced, but will almost certainly happen.

Uh, huh?
That's kind of surprising as he's very close to Ibushi and actually travels everywhere with him.
His in ring is pretty average. His run with Matsunaga as the Nuru Nuru Brothers was interesting, but I'm not sure how that will translate over.
I think the most I've enjoyed of him was his NJPW x CEO match where he worked as a heel and actually got a reaction and that wasn't that great...He's also very close to Kenny, and I saw those matches myself- one was vs a local jobber, and the other was against a video game promoter with a torn Achilles- you're not going to look great under those circumstances, and he's a 44-yr old mediocre wrestler to begin with. His main role I think will be translator and perhaps backstage.

In a move that surprises very few, Michael Nakazawa was signed by AEW. (Good friends with Kenny)

Finlay's replacement is Taguchi. The mere thought of Tenzan's ankle in Taguchi's anklelock frightens me. Expecting a Kerry Von Erich vs Col.Debeers situation.

New Beginning USA shows are up on NJPW World.

Souther is also nicknamed the Holy Emperor.

I'd be fine with O-Kharn being the next-gen Iizuka. Oka's ceiling is probably upper-midcard, so giving him a gimmick similar to EVIL does him a lot of good.

I know Taker has said if UFC had been a thing when he was young, he probably would've tried it, and there's certainly ample evidence that he's tough, but man, getting under 265 seems like it would be real difficult for him, and, to the best of my limited knowledge, there's not much history of 6'9"(ish) dudes being effective in MMA. ( @Elsalvajeloco?)
That's before taking into account he'd have already been in his mid-30's, and with a litany of injuries (his Biker Taker return was, iirc, coming off a torn groin.)
Point is, I don't think even lower level MMA stuff would've been a good idea for him at that time frame, unless he got matched up with guys who legit had no business fighting.
Taker would have been in before weight classes came into being. If by some freak accident he ended up a major star- there would have been a super heavyweight class.

I like Jay White a lot, but I think he's going to be more successful when he eventually turns face than he will be as a heel. I get the impression he's holding a lot of cool stuff back.

That Dominion match does have an end of en era feeling to it, alongside Hiromu's injury. NJPW is still very good, but it's not as great as it was 2016-2018.
Ospreay is probably their best chance at a new breakout star- he just feels like the leap is within him if he can get his character just right the way Omega did.

As I mentioned in the lucha thread, Andrade tweeted happy birthday to Flair and people responded with "suegro" (father in law) replies.
I can so imagine Ric Flair as an honorary Ingobernable right now.

proper brackets.

Finlay said on Twitter his injury is dislocated shoulder and it's back in. Sounds like something he can bounce back from pretty quickly- though he might be out of NJC.

Night 2's is great up to the comedy match (Which is awesome comedy- Colt and Yano for WTL please!)
Finlay got injured in the main, obvious audible/go home early- looks like shoulder injury. Wrecked what was getting pretty good.

WWE does 90, which would have their no compete's up on the 23rd of May. So DoN is on the table for these three. but like I said, I doubt KENTA stays stateside for too much longer, and it's not like Dillenger and TJP set the world on fire.
Think TJP has enough value to be worth a shot on- he can go. That said I think his political views will keep him out of AEW (Briscoes-esque but worse)

ZSJ/Umino is a must watch from tonight.
Dalton Castle looks worse off than Honma.

Also interesting who got the iron fingers in the end- won't be surprised to see those pop up again.

Ospreay right now would also make a lot of sense. They've laid seeds for that- with the comments about CHAOS thinking the Hidden Blade is "too dangerous". If they wanted to send Fale down the card, Ospreay could slot right in as Jay's lieutenant.
