That’s a nice surprise! Unfortunately, Stan has COVID and won’t be at the show for the scheduled talk battle.

That Tiger Claws set sold out, so good call.

RED SURF looks fun? Anyway, I ordered: ILYA MUROMETS (not on sale but selling out) WNUF HALLOWEEN SPECIAL UNKNOWN MAN FROM SHANDIGOR PALS NEW YORK NINJA So only one actual Vinegar Syndrome title. some news/hints for the rest of the year:

You, and the whole IWC, I think. (I blame autocorrect for the “gonzo” thing)

I could be wrong, but I think “gonzo bomb” is just what the move was called when it was included in a Fire Pro game. I read at some point that what the commentator says during the move translates to something like “what the fuck was that!?”

He looks like Arch Hall Jr there.

Honestly, it was his first CC and he’s very young, but I was expecting, at the very least, that he’d get a surprise win on the last day of the tournament. IIRC, in Suwama’s first CC, he only got one win, but he pinned Muto (of all people).

They started pushing Honda earlier this year—he was in the finals of the four-man tournament for the vacant TC earlier this year. But then in the CC he lost all of his matches. So, I’m guessing the flash pin of Yoshitatsu was thrown in there to prove that they aren’t completely writing him off.

It’s the AJPW junior title—it’s not exactly sacrosanct.
