Good show to start the tournament. Surprised by the Tanare victory, but I like the story of GBH having to round into their championship form after years apart. Also Henare is in the best shape of his young career so far.

Tiger Hattori was honored last night at the CMLL Show, being a key part of forging the relationship between the two companies

I normally may root for Suzuki-Gun, bu I want Archer to defend his US title at WK if possible.

Ishii and YOSHI-HASHI going over ZSJ and Taichi irks me for some reason.
Probably because YOSHI-HASHI is awful and I don't want him winning much of anything.

I'm also getting really sick of seeing Naito land on his head.

Not sure who I am rooting for, I like both teams.

Finlay was out nearly 9 months due to dislocating his shoulder, good that he's back

There are no finals this year as instead whoever has the best overall record at the end wins it

As beloved as The Dads are, it'd be best if Nakanishi and Tenzan retired soon

I'm not trying to crap on anyone's good time, and I'm glad that people are enjoying the tournament so far.
I personally can't get into it though. Most of the teams seem so thrown together, and I admit I only like NJPW when it had Kevin Kelly doing English commentary, and this is only available in Japanese so far. It sucks for me because I usually love NJPW tournaments. Also, I don't really have a "dog in the race" so to speak. Since most of these teams are so thrown together, there isn't really a team or two that I'm rooting for because I'm a fan of them.

Day Two and I'm surprised how entertaining this is so far. I didn't think it was a good idea to expand past 14 teams, but it's pretty enjoyable as-is.
The Suzuki-gun vs. Suzuki-gun match was a highlight, though I would say not as good as ZSJ/Taichi vs. Suzuki/Iizuka last year. The moment when Iizuka locks the sleeper on Zack was the most memorable part of last year's tournament.
One complaint I have is New Japan going with HenarACE instead of Tanare, but that's a personal preference.

Just off the last two days and promos, I'm leaning towards Juice Robinson and David Finlay winning the tournament.
