When did this Cat stuff start with him Hiromu called Ospreay a cat once and it just...went from there. Meme Hiromu is fine, but I kinda miss "beat Kushida in three minutes Hiromu". They seem to be playing it as pure mindgames with Hiromu still having a mean crazy streak just beneath the surface, so I'm fine with it. If he went full Yano-style comedy wrestler I'd be worried, but so far I think they're still doing good with him.

So whats with the hate on Ospreay I see some folks have I don't hate him, but it does bug me that in some of his promo shots, he's making this goofy face like he's mid-yawn.

So whats with the hate on Ospreay I see some folks have If you mean outside of people who just hate flippy wrestlers, it's basically Twitter stuff like this: wrestlingnews.co/other/will-ospreay-apologizes-for-controversial-tweet/And him kinda hitting on every Japanese women's wrestler lol. I haven't seen him be too bad, but a lot of people hate his Tweets.

So whats with the hate on Ospreay I see some folks have Bad promo. He could definitely make a solid enough heel because he really reminds me of a very British type of knobhead, but he's not playing that as a gimmick. Great athleticism but no real in-ring personality or charisma. Hit & miss ring psychology, his match with Ricochet is a farce of highspots and zero story it feels more like a gymnastics routine than a match. Worst finisher in the business. The Oscutter is awful and entirely reliant on the opponent jumping into it. He's got so much potential to be excellent, but for me, he's the inverse Rusev, in that he does all the little things wrong.

Bad Promo don't know if i would go that far
Now the stuff with Ricochet I can see that while I like the matches I understand why others don't

Especially in-ring when he does his fighting spirit bits he really sounds...fake, I guess. Of the 3 NJPW Brits, I always think Scurll is leagues and leagues ahead of both Ospreay and ZSJ.

Dammit. The Oscutter is such trash. Hiromu jumping into it looks exactly like when he jumped to counter it.
And yeah I think Scurll's fantastic. Great wrestler, plays his character really well and it carries over into the ring way more than Ospreay or ZSJ. Also comes off more likeable out of the ring.

And now EVIL vs Hirooki 'sack of potatoes' Goto. Rooting for EVIL but can see Goto retaining.

And now we're onto the first of 2 matches where I'm cheering for CHAOS. Goto really impressed me at WK and I wanna see him get a bit of credibility. And regardless of the TacosTaichi purgatory he's stuck in I still say the only guy to beat Okada has to be Naito.

He had the special entrance of meditating under a waterfall and came out covered in full body kanji all over him and yet he did nothing new or showed anything

Goto is why I don't have faith in Gedo over Naito. There seems to be a real "Okada above all" philosophy from what I'm seeing, which if you're an Okada guy is fine but he's already done it all. Give someone else a go, Okada still has 7-8 years to go before he's even starting to get old.
