Well they already gone and gave the KOPW Title a value of a bucket of cold shit Dude the entire point is to be the one to hold it at the end of the year, right? Okada is supposed to chase. He was never gonna win it off the bat.

No surprise Naito was getting his W back
EVIL got the rub by just holding the titles for a little while and as I keep saying he is the unofficial main eventer now outside the big 4
Set things back in line for G1 and WK. Still think Naito drops the title to Ibushi

That was a really good show which flew by.
Suzuki/Shingo match of the night for me, Junior title match and Tag title match also really good. Main event was ok, no where near as long at the Dominion main event thankfully, and a nice little comeuppance for Bullet Club.
Looking forward to the G1 blocks being announced now.

That win also gives Naito the most reigns with the IC title with 6. I doubt they start doing it but moving forward I’d like to see separate defenses of the titles.

Believe Naito said he will defend the titles separately if he wins Tho considering they don't have access to their talent, they can still get by on defending both titles but I think you can easily move the IC title to SANADA, Tanahashi, Shingo, etc

Was definitely surprised to see Yano win the KOPW.
Pleasently surprised but, surprised nonetheless.
And yeah, Shingo is still an outside shot for the G1 even after losing the NEVER title. Though it does make me wonder who Suzuki will face next. There aren't many challengers left for the title.
Same question for Ishimori, now that I think about it.

Suzuki, they can just break out the ol reliable challengers. Ishii, Goto and maybe Nagata. Ishimori, yeah that one is going be up in the air. Doubt they moving Takahashi up, just need to get the title off him for now so he can win it back by WK

Gaijin talent who have residence in Japan maybe able to return next month Who would be included in that? Juice, Ospreay, Fale. Anybody else? I think Kenta and Jay White as well.

Interesting that they didn't announce anything for the G1, seeing as it starts on the 19th. Of their six Road shows next month, four will be live on World: 5th & 6th in Chiba, the 9th in Miyagi and the 11th in Korakuen Hall. We should hear about competitors and blocks then.
Perhaps they wanted to make an announcement, but still need to finalize any potential Gaijin talent coming in.
Hoping the losses for Shingo, Hiromu & EVIL will lead to each of them having solid G1s. Honestly not sure who's taking it this year.

So Wato is a dud, his career is pretty much already over Who did Kawato piss off to get stuck with this gimmick?
