I'm not going to lie, seeing Taguchi/Gedo as the main event of a BOTSJ opening Korakuen show is sad. Nothing wrong with Taguchi at all, but Gedo being there is just plain wrong.
State of the Jr. Heavyweight division in a nutshell. I'll stick to my 90's and mid 2000's CTU era Jr.'s thanks New Japan.

was watching BOSJ this morning and noticed this: Nice. I would pay upwards of many monies for that turnbuckle. David Finlay had a nice match vs Shelly. Save for the terrible back tattoo, he has good style, in ring.

Yeah, I don't understand why they didn't put Sho Tanaka in it as well as like Yohei he's on the verge of breaking out. Or get someone from ROH like Cedric or Sydal, or bring back Kamaitachi from CMLL to fill it out.

Uh Oh, I hope this isn't serious but Shelley did not take part in Today's show. He was scheduled to face Romero but did not compete.

I have asked the organizers if AJ is coming and they said no.
But Nakamura will be there. Might give the expo a shot.
