Speaking of Strong, can I just say how much it tickles me that Fred Rosser has a place to do a wrestling in 2020? Great stuff. Seems funny but, he's been pretty good on Strong.

Sorry for all the consecutive posts but, one last thing:
The KOPW title is now officially a joke. It was a joke when they decided Yano should have it after having Okada make a big thing about it but, it's even worse now.
Why in the world would Yano want to be in a match without corner pads? That's part of how he wins matches. Being genre saavy enough to realize that corner pads are not considered "foreign objects." Why would he handicap himself like that?
And why would ZSJ agree to that stipulation? First of all, the point is to pick your own stipulations. Why would you ever just agree to your opponent's? And if you're ZSJ, why would you want to be in any other match besides a submission match if you can help it?
It's just dumb.

Hiromu probably wins the BOSJ but, he really does not need it at all. Maybe it was all smoke and mirrors and I totally understand if DDT is still pissed at NJPW, but if Sasaki had been in bosj I think you’d have a tournament with spiked interest and less predictability. Hell, the division itself would benefit.

Hiromu probably wins the BOSJ but, he really does not need it at all. The thing is, New Japan Cup really elevated Hiromu to the point where he should be a heavyweight now, even if he doesn't put on any more muscle. He beat Ishii. That's enough to make him legit.

I don't know who wins BOSJ, Hiromu seems the safe pick but now seems like the time for Sho to break out as a singles star

Think they'll go BOSJ winner gets Jr title shot on Night 1 of WK, and Super J-Cup winner gets the title shot on Night 2?

Part of me hopes he can get into a future G1. I know they’re grooming him as the Juniors Ace, but they could have given him a heavyweight run this year.

Following up on both ideas presented, this may be the best time to give SHO the tournament win and really kick-off his push.
YOH is out for a big longer, SHO spent the last few months battling heavyweights (Shingo, SANADA, Ishii) and you can cement him with notable back-to-back victories in the Dome. Let’s say a title win against Ishimori and a defense against ELP.

JR Kratos makes his New Japan debut on Strong this weekend *googles* That man is a large. With a last name like Kratos, he would have to be.

Kanemaru suffered a knee injury and will be out for the November 5 show. Hope it’s nothing too bad.

re: Daisuke Sasaki. DDT Ultimate Party spoilers. {Spoiler}Btw, seems like the Sasaki to New Japan rumors didn't amount to much. After their match Tetsuya Endo ended up revealing the betrayal was all a ploy to get the best out of Sasaki, and welcomed him back to DAMNATION. As such Sasaki decided not to retire, and Endo gave him permission to ignore the stipulation. Nice tease lol.

Sasaki said he’s a man of his word so he will retire, and thus has begun a retirement tour...that ends in 2080 lol

A lot coming up, very excited. I love Dangerous Tekkers wanting to win the World Tag League simply so they can take Wrestle Kingdom off. I love those guys so much and of course their plan will not work, as usual.
Looking forward to BOSJ, even if it is only 10 people. All of them are capable of good to great matches, no real dead spots here. I hope Kanemaru is okay. While usually his matches are usually rest nights for opponents recently, lately he has been looking really good, he worked hard in that tag match. Suzuki-gun is still a bunch of cheating bastards, but they have stepped up their work rate as of late with Taichi leading the way, as strange as that would sound 2 years ago.
As far as winner of the tournament, Hiromu has to be the favorite with Despy and Sho on deck. I think Sho will get some big wins, but I think Despy has a better chance. I see Despy at the very least beating Hiromu, leading to him being first on the list after Wrestle Kingdom. They have been building a feud between the two, but then they got injured.

Something I wanna know about The US Title. Does New Japan have possession of the Belt or does Moxley have it with him in America. If its The latter you'd think they'd send someone over to retrieve it or be mailed back to them.
