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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quackhell Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I was pretty blah on Nichols being a charisma-less void and then he yells out "Witness Me" during the match. Ooof. I got another Fury Road quote that suits you "Mad" Mikey...."Mediocre". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archibald Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I guess pattern becomes obvious only after it ends. Chase beats Juice and loses next match, Ibushi beats Naito and loses next match as well. Makes perfect sense, but I was still surprised that Zack again eliminated Ibushi from the tournament. So what are we getting here? ZSJ/Sanada semi-final? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beech27 Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 I really liked Ibushi’s tap out. Weird thing to praise, maybe, but I think it accurately conveyed a man making a business decision—he’s got the IC title challenge already—even while hating it, because he never does the rational thing. Tanahashi versus juniors has been good lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what are we getting here? ZSJ/Sanada semi-final? I'm very surprised ZSJ beat Ibushi. At this point, I don't think it's going to be anyone either than Okada or Tanahashi winning. I guess I'm ok with that. Have a storyline of Okada or Tana learning from losing to Jay White in such dominating fashion, and pulling out some new tricks. It's been talked about somewhat on commentary that BC's plan was to have Chase; Fale; or Hikuleo win, so they would presumable lay down for Switchblade. I would like a Jay White appearance or press conference promo after a show, showing some disgust toward them for failing, and planting some seeds of dissension within BC.

Brian Fowler Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Do we really need another "dissension in the Bullet Club" angle already though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of Jay White and Ishimori, the rest of this incarnation is pretty dull. The most interesting thing was Tama Tonga trying to be a nice guy, and they blew through that already. I'm looking forward to seeing El Phantasmo. Edited March 16, 2019 by Nice Guy Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 You're getting Tana/Zack vs Sanada/Cabana winners. Deal with it! YOSHI-HASHI is going to win it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quackhell Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 My brackets were already pretty broken and then Ibushi getting knocked out blew them up. Now I just throw my hands up and futilely hope Ishii just murders his way to MSG. Also...the SANADA/Suzuki dueling submissions spot would have been so much better if the Skull End didn't look like such shite. I did like Suzuki having kind of a "for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee" moment as SANADA went for the killing blow moonsault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archibald Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Juice/Chase title match was added to the final day of the tournament. I'm glad that they decided against running it at MSG, but what Juice is then going to do in MSG? Will Fale assault him post match? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably some kind of Lifeblood tag match with Tracy Williams and/or Mark Haskins. I'm also glad they decided against Juice vs. Chase at MSG.

quackhell Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Welcome back Excalibur, always enjoy hearing him calling the action. The Chaos Quarterfinals was just fine I thought. I honestly thought Yoshi Hashi might get a foot on the ropes after the brainbuster and then pull off the upset. He showed a good amount of fire, but in the end he is still just Yoshi Hashi ya know? Okada/Ospreay will probably be a ymmv deal, but I enjoyed it and liked Okada being a little bit more of an aggressive dick at times. Ishii/Okada will no doubt be amazing and i'll still hold out foolish hope for the Ishii upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
