Gedo is more mobile than his long time tag partner Jado but not by much

Entertaining enough match with Goto picking up the win. There will be Bullet Club BS at Sengoku Lord, but it’ll still be entertaining. Jay White has teased returning there

Don’t know why, but I really don’t like Wato being associated with Tenzan. Unless it leads to a heel turn, it’s a head scratcher for me.

Another amazing performance by our Lord Taichi. He’s got the voice of an angel.

That had to be a f’d up moonsault right?? No way he planned to land on the back of his head.

Attendance is 482. A sellout given the restrictions applied

Nagata and Suzuki will be fighting each other forever And I’ll be right here for it. Loving all of these after the bell exchanges. So, after landing on his head, Wato is pinned for the first time since his return. Is his destiny the lower card, or is it leading to something? Guess time will tell.

Not a good sign Wato's already taking the fall in matches

I’m sufficiently looking forward to Sengoku Lord now, so this show did it’s job. I was feeling it anyway, but I’m definitely feeling main event EVIL. I’m glad Dick Togo can still move unlike Jado so he should be a great addition by EVIL’s side.
Calling a Bone Soldier run in leading to a Junior Title match in the future between Hiromu and Ishimori.

Taichi has raked up a successful resume in championships Over the last year and a half he's just taken off and has become a guy who was just a lackey to someone I can see taking over Suzuki-Gun instead of ZSJ

It appears as expected the trio titles have been vacated

I don't see how White could be back with Japan's travel restrictions. Unless he's been in a quarantine there for a bit.

And even then, with how crazy it is with working visas out there, let's say he got in and was able to perform. I doubt White would want to have to leave his home behind and stay in Japan in order for him to work Worst case scenario is something else crazy happens and he gets stuck in Japan and can't return home

Something cool I saw on Reddit this morning (from user SuperSmarkBrothers): — At the upcoming NJPW show, double IWGP Heavyweight and IC champion Evil will be defending against Hiromu who seeks to avenge his fallen leader Naito.
This is a perfect echo of the Battle of Yamazaki from Japanese history's Sengoku period. At the height of his power when he was closer than ever to uniting Japan, Nobunaga Oda was betrayed by one of his closest vassals, Mitsuhide Akechi. After Oda's death another of his loyal generals, Hideyoshi Toyotomi rushed to avenge his death and brought an end to the short reign of the usurper Akechi.
This short 13 day as shogun is also known as mikkatenka (三日天下, short-lived reign). EVIL won the title on 7/12 and will defend it 13 days later at Sengoko Lord on 7/25!
Will history repeat itself, will Hideyoshi/Hiromu avenge their fallen masters, Nobunaga/Naito by defeating Mutsuhito/Evil, or will Bullet Club’s new leader learn from the short lived Shogun and surpass his legacy of failure? —
Thought it was a cool comparison.
