Not shocking, given the Bucks love Lio Rush and are big fans of his, and the commentary brought up his NJPW connection, so not sure if we should read anything into that or not. I felt like they kind of forced that NJPW connection considering he has only appeared on Strong Wasn't he also in one of the Super J-Cups? But yeah, it's not exactly as strong (pardon the pun) of a connection as a KENTA or Nagata, obviously.

Yea, I mean it was always apparent that a NJPW talent was going to win it but an outside chance especially with Lio being a FA there was an outside chance but 1st round matchup killed that

Which is fine but, you have to give the fans a chance to believe someone could put him down before then. Make him winning the Super J Cup more gutting. Not a foregone conclusion.

ELP was the overwhelming favorite with Lio as the 2nd choice and I thought TJP could been the 3rd choice They just wanted a reason to book ELP to win something and give him a little extra heat while also using American talent. They basically pulled it out their ass because at that point they were also getting people coming back from COVID for the first time too

LIJ challenge for the Trios titles Wednesday They’re probably going to win them. CHAOS has had a good run to help elevate them but, Naito, BUSHI, and especially SANADA need something right now.

Probably. It has served its purpose of making YOSHI-HASHI at least a little bit more credible, so there's that.

I've always wondered why some talent pick Young Lions to be their partners for matches

A year ago Evil was on top of the World, now he's reduced to a joke after how they've bungled him

With guys recently hanging it up, gotta wonder if the time's drawing near for Tiger Mask IV to do so as well
