If they literally hot shot it back to Naito at the Jingu show I forgive NJPW and will buy tickets at the Sead show tomorrow.

New Japan has a pretty lofty goal there Pretty sure you can be ambitious with Kanemaru vs Wato as a selling point

Naito doing to EVIL what Okada did to him would be pretty interesting even if I doubt it will happen.

So Taiji vs Hiromu is happening. Last time they faced off was at the 2018 BOSJ Finals where Hiromu won.

The last time NJPW did an outdoor show, the main event was an No Rope Explosive Barbed Wire Barricade Explosive Landmine Double Hell Deathmatch between Great Muta and Great Nita.
Don't think we'll be seeing that match type happening.

I enjoyed the main event as much as I was disappointed with the result of the NEVER title match.

I'm also still insanely jealous of Japan holding events in front of people.
Competence is hard to come by these days.

Putting the title back on Naito is probably a good move
EVIL was big time elevated by just having the titles and is now the unofficial 5th man in that big 4. Can put the title back on Naito before the G1 as I still think they are setting it up for Ibushi to get his time

I enjoyed the main event as much as I was disappointed with the result of the NEVER title match. Same. Despy in the semi-main was pretty awesome, though. With Taiji challenging Hiromu, I hope Despy wins BOSJ if/when it happens later this year. Enjoyed the Makabe/Gabriel Kidd exchange; really happy New Japan sees how valuable he could be. Taiji's openers with the Young Lions are pretty fun; they had Lance Archer work a similar spot a lot of last year, and I think some of the awkwardness just comes from learning to work with someone so different in size. Looks like we're going right back into Golden Ace vs Tekkers, which is fine, but I hope they're able to mix up the tag team scene sooner rather than later.

Okada says that he will not challenge for the IWGP title, and instead has plans for some other "interesting" thing to do.

Still hoping he might go for the tag titles with someone from CHAOS, if only because it'd be something new for him.

Him and Yoshi Hashi is something that should happen Okada seems to be in the spot of elevating people this year which i'm fine with. Let him and Tacos get a tag title run and rebuild that man value from the joke he has become Then have Ishii and Goto wreck their shit and bring back strong style CHAOS
