For the Japanese bracket, every unit had a representative draw straws. God's Eye and Cosmic Angels were eliminated, (in a running gag, Syuri immediately was eliminated after pulling the first straw) so one member each from STARS. Queens Quest, Oedo Tai, and Donna Del Mondo will make up the Japanese side of the bracket and announced at a later date.

Think Knight should be going to Japan for Burning Spirit tour instead of DKC, Knight is further ahead of the two

Mascara Dorada was going to be in The BOSJ but couldn't get clearance to go to Japan, thus putting his feud with TJP on hold the past couple months

Often, yeah. Like, Gedo did it with Okada and Jay White, perhaps most notably. It's not just a Gedo move, as Tanahashi is someone NJPW invested in hard fairly early into his career, though if you have a wrestler that talented and that handsome, they'd have been foolish not to, especially to try to escape the MMA-obsessed era.

Well, Tanahashi also had the unfortunate publicity of his ex-girlfriend stabbing him, making him a figure in the public eye a bit before NJPW was anticipating, so they had to roll with it.

There's that, too, yeah, which did get him a lot of sympathy.

Yeah and then it sometimes backfires and the guys never really get the heights again when they are good. Goto was pushed too early before ready and got a bad label but was able to rehab himself and I still contend he is up there with Ishii and Shibata as NEVER champs. And then you have someone like YOSHI-HASHI who was made a joke and just now starting to finally get back over the last few years Luckily for them, Jay White and Okada are Ace prospects. They overcame what could been bad starts especially Jay who had a below average match with an injured and hobbled Tana at WK but was able to instantly redeem himself with the match against Kenny and winning the U.S. title

Mikey Nicholls also appears to be injured given he wasn't at the recent Strong tapings nor is he with the rest of TMDK for this tour
