Will went through the effort of bulking up to go heavyweight, and he should maybe consider dialing some stuff back from "I can do this, therefore I should" to "maybe I need to be more careful". That’s a big part of how he injured his neck a badly as he did last year. Still doing a lot of the things he did as a junior in the heavyweight division. It’s not sustainable. He’s gotten much better at it but, there are times where he thinks he’s still the Aerial Assassin. That’s why I’m a bit wary of Hiromu going heavy. He can hardly maintain a solid run without injury as he is. What happens when he bulks up and decides he’s going to keep up the insanity just with more mass on him? That does worry me as well, he only knows how to go full throttle and I don't think if Naito took him aside and told him he'd have to turn it down that he'd listen

Quarter Finals Matchup Kazuchika Okada vs Cima Tetsuya Naito vs Jeff Cobb Zack Sabre Jr vs Will Ospreay Shingo Takagi vs Hiromu Takahashi What an awesome last 8. Literally any potential semi final and final is now awesome too.

Hiromu beat Evil with his own finishing move, that's the ultimate sign of disrespect OK, there we go. Hiromu has beaten a former IWGP Heavyweight champion (one that he previously lost to when EVIL was champion, but still...) Hiromu is more than credible to move up, even without bulking up.

Quarter Finals Matchup Kazuchika Okada vs Cima Tetsuya Naito vs Jeff Cobb Zack Sabre Jr vs Will Ospreay Shingo Takagi vs Hiromu Takahashi Plenty of ways this could go. The pandemic took away Ospreay's first-intended NJC victory and the long-hyped match of Naito/Ospreay. Hiromu has also asked for matches against Shingo and Naito for years now, especially the latter. Whatever is about to happen, between these competitors and the crowds audibly reacting despite the request not to, we're about to have a great finish. Plus, we have some great potential in the BOSJ and G1 tournaments this year.

Bold prediction: Ospreay wins and is then confronted by Bryan Danielson afterwards to end the show on a cliffhanger. It could also be for the U.S. title depending on SANADA’s situation.

Although, if Gedo is really insane, he’ll have Hiromu win and have Hiromu and Okada at Sumo Hall.

You know what? I’d have Cima shock Okada to get himself a future title match.

Not exactly bulking up, but I'm not the only one who has noticed that he's a bit more... pudgy, am I?

Gonna go with a Cobb/Hiromu final with Cobb beating Okada along the way.
Lot of great options though
