It is rather impressive that you take arguably the best match in recent history and have the guy winning the belt go on to have a nothing burger of a reign. And, honestly, Naito deserves WAY much better than Midlife Crisis Jericho as his opponent. I know some people aren't into it, but Naito drawing Jericho is pretty friggin' big in the grand scheme of things. He's in that spot because he's that big.

Ishii will defend the RevPro Undisputed British Heavyweight Championship against ZSJ. That'll add some hype to this show! Their matches are always great.

He’s been wrestling guys who suck: tacos, Taichi Are old and inconsistent: Suzuki Fat and unsafe: Jericho And for such a character that “doesn’t care” (do people still think this ?) has a stronger connection with the crowd than anyone on the roster. He also wrestled the most this year out of anyone on the roster with two bad knees at 36 and probably had one of the better performances in a lackluster G1. Who's tacos? And I don't think Taichi is THAT bad.

So who's gonna challenge Cody? My hope is Juice, to get him a spotlight and redemption for not having a successful defense of the title.

With Cody's injury, who knows what the US Title will be at the show.

If it's bad enough to cost him 2-3 months, then maybe a mini-tournament leading to WK like they did with the Jr. Heavyweight Championship.

I think the ROH World Title will be defended at the show.

And I don't think Taichi is THAT bad. He’s really not. His moveset is solid enough, he can bust his ass with the right opponent and he’s amazing at getting heel heat. Sometimes he stalls too much, but when he’s on he’s enjoyable.

All it took for Taichi to get approval was having average matches with the two best wrestlers on the roster.
Illustrates how distinct the difference between heavy and junior is.

My predictions for the rest of the card
Annual NEVER Trios gauntlet match
ROH World Title Jay Lethal vs Chris Sabin
IWGP US Championship Cody (If healthy) vs Juice Robinson
IWGP Tag Guerillas of Destiny vs Evil and Sanada vs The Young Bucks

Sounds like Cody's toughing it out and waiting till after WK to have surgery

Ibushi vs Goto has officially been set One thing to point out, NJPW has not actually mentioned Wrestle Kingdom yet... It makes me wonder if Ospreay is still the plan, and they do the Ibushi Goto match at like the Tag League finals. After all neither man is in the tourney.
